I donno, guys...
I really love the gimmick concepts in SC6. Its really feels like something fresh to SC formula! I wish they continue to evolve this concepts with character exclusive mechanics in sc7, but not goes to hardcore into it.
If they remove it entirely from sc7, its will be like SC3 agian...
And, yeah, I know your point about "it makes a game to flashy and goofy "
But, let me ask you something: How fighting game with windgirls, "Elvis Presley" with nunchucks, mutated knights, lizardmen and superloyal bdsm freak cannot be goofy? Its a SCs character, part of his image! They just add something new parts of it and we need to get used to it.
Okey, maybe I sounds too much like som sorta heretic, but, I just a guy who acsept a goofiness of SoulCalibur series.
