There are NOT many fighting game franchises that are conceived with single player in mind instead of multi-player. In fact most are conceived with the one on one human competition in mind. Most developers are more focused on the balance and the aesthetic (especially the aesthetic) then they are...
If I had a guess at a list of possibilities it would be:
Anime/Manga/etc:
Naruto
Bleach
Queen's Blade (due to Banpresto making the PSP video game)
Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls (due to appearance in the recent Banpresto game Queen's Gate)
Japanese Video Games:
Samurai Showdown
Metal Gear Solid...
Uhh actually I was talking about a party in the same way that you made a group of create a characters in CotS. I never bothered using the default characters in the mode. I did pure personalized CaS characters for my team. It wouldn't be multi player more like team or tag team (which would be...
Guys you do know the point was to see if they should bring back CotS right? There's going to be a story mode either way anyway. Besides the whole point of the CotS mode was to give meaning to the Create a Souls. There own story mode so to speak. If they could find a way to tie that into the main...
You never find out what the true ending for a fighting game until the sequel comes along and lays it out anyway. You never know for sure if there is going to be a sequel so having individual endings showing characters getting on with there lives makes sense.
I do realize some would like a...
Uhh well some of us like having branching paths in the storyline. It gives replay value to the game. Its whole point was to give the single player something more then just an arcade ladder with a boss at the end and a 30 second clip or worse just some text and a few pictures. Did you really...
I know your just dreaming and all but it would likely be a waste of time at this point to try to plant ideas in anyones head. If this game is due out next year then they've already finalized the roster. All we can hope is they really are planing on making the CaS more robust and possibly give it...
Hey, how about Rictor Belmont, Alucard, and Dracula of the Castlevania series. A true whip style instead of Ivy's kind of half and half one. Actually, her's only has a few points where it acts like a whip at all. Most of the time it seems to act like a flexible linked sword. Its really too stiff...
Naruto is a stong possibility as a guest character. Lars of Tekken fame already appeared in Bandai Namco's Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2. I wouldn't be exactly thrilled about this, but, it is a popular series here in the west as well as the east.
Afro Samurai is also a possibility although that...
Google search images isn't likely the best source for info on any of these characters.
Raiden has a chance because he uses a sword and he comes from an internationally renowned and loved series. 50% Chance.
Matsumoto Rengiku is from one of the current most popular and well known anime series...
Too many of these weapons seem similar or the same as ones we already have. A bummer really. I would like to see the long sword style reture. Link from Soul Calibur II seemed to be the only charater to ever use it. I was hoping it would be a create character style for III and then IV but no...
I'd prefer one of these:
Raiden from Metal Gear Solid: Rising
Matsumoto Rengiku from Bleach (You know she'd fit right in:sc1ivy1:)
Genjuro Kibagami from Samurai Showdown (Not a chance, I know)
Nero from DMC (Had enough Dante)
Scorpion from Mortal Kombat (redesigned to fit more into Soul...
