yea but the thing is. Hwang himself isnt exactly a great designed character in my opinion (i dont hate him but he is kinda whatever) they'd have to do alot to make him as good as the others.
His moveset so far kinda felt unfinished even worse on yun. And if you just look at a black sillhouette of hwang it could literally be anyone. Compared to rest of the cast who are easily recognizable. I just dont see how hwang has any advantage in that area compared to their other options. And bringing him back just because of nostalgia is dumb.
And that's where I disagree with you.
Is true that Hwang had similarities to Mitsurugi in Soul Edge and to Xianghua in Soulcalibur 1 but then again, Soulcalibur 1 had Sophitia/Lizardman, Nightmare/Siegfried, Astaroth/Rock and Kilik/Mina. (You could even add Edgemaster/Inferno if you wanted)
But then again, Hwang has always had the core of 3AA, 2K, 1B and 66KK as his core and has always been competitive. (High Tier, Top Tier and Mid Tier in Soul Edge, Soulcalibur 1 and Soulcalibur 3 Arcade Edition respectively) As long as he has that core, he will always be competitive, much like Mitsurugi with that fucking 2KB mixup reset for so many games. Hwang had great throw range and throws in Soulcalibur 1 and SCCs in Soulcalibur 1 and Soulcalibur 3 console version, which gave him great mixup and mindgame potential.
Hwang with a mix of his Soulcalibur 1 and SC3 AE moveset should do fine and for his Soul Charge game, obviously the SCCs that he originally brought.
And Hwang has ALWAYS been better competitively than Yunsung.
