Sucks for Pyrrha and Pat that Sophitia is dead for them.
But for us it rocks because we are seeing either a new timeline or retcon!

She will be, when the time comes. We aren’t there yet. Though just because she dies, it doesn’t mean she can’t come back. Just ask Raphael.so you're saying sophitia is still dead?

Arguably Li Long?Or Maxi. Or Astaroth. Or Cervantes.
Did anyone else die but get resurrected at any point? I think that’s everyone.
I'm confused. I thought you and Tres had concluded between you that the story is an identical replay of the plot up through this game, but that Zasalamel is a wild card likely to send the entire thing off on a completely different tangent, butterfly effect style?She will be, when the time comes.

Nightmare and others of the Soul Edge incarnations have. Pyrrha arguably was brought back by time travel shenanigans, right? Zasalamel's entire narrative is built on a cycle of death and reincarnation. Yoshimitsu propagates a version of himself by training a student, committing ritual suicide, and then passing on the essence of his previous lives into the new iteration. Revenant is some undead warrior thing. Algol spent eons in a state of suspended animation before being revived. Honestly, its pretty clear that in Caliburverse, death is a pretty easy thing to come back from (and that's if we don't even factor in the various characters who are simply outright immortal or close to it: Ivy, Edge Master, Olcadan, Charade, Abyss, Night Terror, Ashlotte).Or Maxi.

Dante probably can do this better than I can but here we go.I'm confused.

By the way, I've been busy this week, but I intend to give you two your rejoinders on the "does the game bleed into SCIII's plot" issue eventually. Your rhetorical whoopings are coming. ;D

Honestly, it's one of the things that makes the story clumsy, comic book-like, and as a consequence ultimately juvenile and ineffective; there are no real stakes and characters can just pop back up whenever they are necessary, which is abused to return various characters to their status quo ante at the beginning of the next game--often with regard to the exact same nemesis even. But I mean it's not like that's any more or less silly than other fighters that have people fighting with super powers and/or weapons and no one ever dying to begin with. At the end of the day, its a game first and foremost and both the gameplay and marketability demand characters return. The story is always going to be constrained within those demands, and one can judge it by how it works within that limited space. Project Soul clearly chose a long time ago to the embrace absurdity and the lack of consequences. The only game that kinda-sorta-just barely broke the trend was SCV, and it had the benefit of being at the end of the story arc, so far as we've seen to date anyway.
Oddly though, I can't recall what time that Raphael died. Am I forgetting something or are you just talking about your fan theory that Raphael comes back after the events of SCV, @DanteSC3?
Well, you're not wrong. Zasalamel is a potential wild card. He's the only thing that actually has changed, all things considered. Whether or not his motivations changing will affect the end result, however, remains to be seen. I think it's quite possible that Raphael may become Nightmare after the events of SoulCalibur II, instead of Zasalamel raising a corpse to become the new host, for an example of a difference, so we would be exploring SoulCalibur V events in the SoulCalibur III timeline, in other words, not time-skipping, but still doing SoulCalibur V stuff with the current cast.I'm confused. I thought you and Tres had concluded between you that the story is an identical replay of the plot up through this game, but that Zasalamel is a wild card likely to send the entire thing off on a completely different tangent, butterfly effect style?
I suppose I'll look forward to this, though I really am not sure what you can really rebuff. I'm agreeing that SoulCalibur III pre-plot events are in taking place in SoulCalibur VI, but the events that actually take place in SoulCalibur III are not. And I feel like you agree with that too? Unless I've misunderstood something at some point.By the way, I've been busy this week, but I intend to give you two your rejoinders on the "does the game bleed into SCIII's plot" issue eventually.

Raphael died during the events of SoulCalibur IV, during his quest to obtain Soul Calibur. It’s unknown exactly how he was slain, but it could possibly be inferred that he attempted to steal it from Siegfried, and was cut down during his efforts, since it’s canon that Siegfried defeated Nightmare and was redeemed (basically, Hilde’s ending).Oddly though, I can't recall what time that Raphael died.
