Ivy tends to be one of the characters whose movelist gets re-arranged a lot between games, and it's difficult to keep everybody happy. I just wondered what people thought of the changes they made to her in SC5, and what people would suggest to possibly improve her... What I like: I like that...

I agree with this. I think most of they people who will buy SC5 will be at an intermediate (i.e. people who like SC and fighting games in general, but not pro). They don't want a game where any old button basher can pull off all the best moves, but want to be able to do all the moves themselves...

I take your point, but I when I said "clone", I meant it in the sense that since SC1 Kilik/Asta etc. are always in the default lineup so can be considered the "main" versions, while Mina/Rock etc. are unlockable characters (and haven't even made it into some releases). I don't think that they'd...

Well it makes sense on paper at least. The team has all the art/animation/code assets etc., the main thing that would be needed is the hardware specific code, which could be reused for other games anyway, so development costs would be low. Plus, the DS has sold the most units out of the current...

Now that SC5 is looking unlikely again, Namco might at least consider making Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny 3DS. It'd basically be a port of the PSP game with Link instead of Kratos (complete with overhauled movelist) and maybe touched up graphics. Given that it'd the GC version of SC2 sold the...

Yeah, there is a danger of that, but it doesn't have to be the case. In SC1 Mina felt like a poor man's Kilik, but in SC2, I thought they were both fun to play as in their own right. It just requires careful balancing -and these days you can always patch. That said, given that Tekken is...

If you could bring back one of the storyline characters (not bonus or guest characters) from a past Soul Calibur game, who would it be? The Clones: characters that shared a lot of moves with another character in their early appearences 1. Hwang (uses a Chinese blade, similar to...
