"Please look forward to collaborations with other works!" - Guest Character Speculation Thread

@Vergeben In max's recent vid, he said that some source stated that there would be 39 characters. Sounds too good to be true, does your source have any info on that?

Ok so since I had no idea about that until mentioned, I looked into it, and what happened was that a user on ResetEra named shotopunx posted this all back on February 27th:
"My friend is testing this right now. 39 characters. Geralt as guest character. That's all I got."

"I do. And I understand the scepticism. My friend has done QA on a lot of Bamco games, so I have no reason to doubt."

"For the sake of semantics I'll post the message I just got.
"I haven't seen him being played yet, but he appears a few times in the museum part as description of character, so I imagine he is in there."

Here are the links for those claims:

That should be obvious what's being said is bullshit if they're talking about unique characters.
IF they're counting bonus filler throwaway CAS created characters from the story mode actually being playable, then there may possibly be something to the claims.
For instance, if they're doing something where it's a mix of what SCIV did with characters like Dürer and Azola (which could be thrown together in CAS) but wind up under a bonus dedicated character slot like SCIII handled Chronicles of the Sword mode characters, then I guess it's possible.

Could make sense, a story-heavy game probably has some secondary characters who might appear as a bonus in the game.

Calm down there.
The best I can say at the moment is that there would only be THAT many characters (39) at launch if they're allowing you the option of playing as bonus characters from the story. But don't count on the remote possibility of there being 39 characters that are uniquely their own.
Stay tempering expectations to something around 22 to 24 characters still.
 
This is speculation. But what if the 22 to 28 characters include 3 platform exclusive characters and we get 19 to 25 non guest characters?
 
The only thing i find remotely interesting is there conversation of “geralt” from 2/27/18 and now just recently the rumors start to spread of him possibly being included in a upcoming soul calibur game which like anything else is hear say until heard directly from the horses mouth (NAMCO)
 
Soulcalibur VI wasn’t mentioned anywhere in that tweet.

CaS styles though? That’s even more suspicious. Shall I suspect that these could be based on missing characters? Otherwise I call bull.

And we might get pissed since we could easily see Li Long, Salia, Toki, or Maxi’s crew as customs.

Lol wow, so it was just a lucky guess that may or may not come true. What a waste of time, I'm surprised max even mentioned it. Goes to show how pointless making speculation videos are...
 
That's true of every 'leak' so far though isn't it? We haven't had any so far that actually came true and weren't clearly just lucky guesses.

I feel like the leaks should probably be a separate topic, I know it's mostly just something extra to discuss but even this place's favourite 'leaker' has gotten more wrong than right and changes their info every couple week. I think it's safe to say at this point that all the supposed leakers we've had so far are fake. It's not news.

If you don’t like a character, you don’t like them. Arguing about you liking them or not crazy and more often than not fruitless. So who cares.

I’m actually wondering if they might have multiple guests like Tekken, because that would upset me more than me liking liking guests in the first place.

The problem in this case is not the person disliking, is the person not knowing the character. "I'm an anime fan" is an awful excuse, how far under a rock a person must live to not know The Witcher?

5 and PSP had like 28. Why would 5 have the least since 2?
 
Remember that the whole Soul series has like 47 characters (without counting the guests). Remove the mimics, variations, clones, and replacements en you end up with 33 characters. I doubt they'll rework really old movesets (e.g. Necrid, Han-myeong) and slap 5 new unique characters to the game.

Sadly, this is probably true, with only like 33 properly unique (i'm talking characters with a distinct fighting style) characters, the most I can realistically imagine for this would be about 25, whereas if we are going to be getting more NON-guest characters, they are going to be unique, but probably won't be customizable, if we follow the trends with Dampierre. As much as i'd like some of the older characters, especially Necrid, i doubt we'll legitimately get more than most generic character predictions/wishlists.

Also, is anyone worried about Astaroth? I have a really weird stomach feeling that he is going to get replaced by rock, or ashlotte. My gut says it's likely to be rock, but if Asta MUST get replaced, I'd take Ashlotte anyday. She's so goddamn cute! Anyway, is anyone worried about astaroth RN? I hope my stomach is wrong
