Should the guest styles be abandoned? I see no real way to salvage Yoda and Necrid's movelist because they are so bad. (Azwel is not taking cues from Necrid btw. He summons specific weapons)
The problem is some of the guest weapons are very similar to popular characters in the roster.

Like Link is a sword and shield user but his sword is significantly longer than the greeks. Spawn is an axe user, but Lizardman has an axe and shield and aeon is dual axes.
Perhaps they could make a brawler character by giving them cestus or steel gauntlets to replace hei and devil jin. Darth Vader could be replaced with a longsword style and remove the force powers. Perhaps give this style to Arthur.
Apprentice could be given to a scimitar user. Ezio could become a hunter character maybe....

A shame to work on these movelists and abandon them!

I'm hoping they find a way to reuse some of Geralt's moves as he's a pretty great addition to the game. Besides, we don't have any plain longsword/bastard sword wielders besides Xianghua so it seems natural for us to get an altered version of his style in the future.

I dropped FFXIV 3 years ago. One day I shall continue where I left off....
Tira is a good choice for a guest to promote FF7Rbut a bad choice for SC6

After Noctis in T7, if they'll put Tifa in SC6 Bamco will enter the Guinness for making the most nonsensical Guests characters choices ever in history videogames.

They can keep the force powers (honestly this is one of the thing that made him fun imo), that would be his gimmik just like Amy with flowers ect, they can give him some lore to explain how he gained those psycho powers.

Speaking about new characters, i recently played Shadow of TR and then watched some of Maya/Incas/Aztecs documentaries, and i'm really up for a new character in this kind of era/civilization.

That being said, if they do new character as soon if he/she doesn't look like some generic anime i'm in (basically like SC1 to SC4 characters, not including SC4 guests)

About Guests Topic:

My favorite picks for Guests would Kratos, Bloodborne Hunter, & Artorias. (i know the first two are very unlikely because it's Sony exclusive IPs)

Also Sekiro would actually be super cool too, i know he has a Katana but with his Prosthetic tools there is a way to make him super unique compare to Mitsu and Hao Maru.

Kratos was already used once in Broken Destiny. And I doubt they’d be likely to re-use the guests themselves for another installment in the franchise.

This has been discussed so many times already, New Kratos gameplay would absolutely very different from old one, he uses Axe, Shield, fists, and another thing i won't tell because "spoilers", and a lot of other special moves. Unlike Kratos in LS that was mostly about Blade of Chaos because it was his main weapon in the first games.

Imo the main reason i don't think it will happen is because it's Sony exclusive, not because they did it because because as i said he would play and be totally different from LS.
 
I feel like we've been really lucky with the guests in SoulCalibur 6, as they've either been good fits thematically, or at least fun to play. Honestly, I think any of the SC6 guests is better than any previous guest.

I guess at this point, guest characters are just a requirement for fighting games. If you look at the EVO lineup, most of the biggest titles now feature guests. Hell, even Street Fighter has guest characters if you count all their Final Fight characters. And I wouldn't be surprised if Samurai Shodown gets a SoulCalibur guest in its Season 2.

But no matter how futile it is, I will always ask for more veterans and more SC lore. I'm sure most SoulCalibur fans feel the same way.

I have to agree. Even though I've been a big critic of 2B being put in Soul Calibur she turned out to be far better fit than I initially thought and way better than most of the guests from past games. Geralt is an excellent pick though both thematically and gameplay wise, straight forward with his fundamental gameplan but a blast to use.
 
Jesus Christ, just had my first substantial bouts with somewhat experienced Cassandras and she's just begging to be patched. That chick can be all over the place in the blink of an eye and force pressure like a tsunami of bricks. Never seen such an intimidating offensive in any SC character. Regardless, I mostly won, but I know nerf-material when I see it. You think Okubo and gang should've learned their lesson after 2B.

Have you touched her in the training mode yet?

Either way she’s bound to get tucked in.
I love Cassandra (not the biggest fan of this linear verson) but it’s either her frames or damage that’s going to be tampered with.
It all depends on how well she takes advantage, her meta is still developing.
Conditioning is an integral part of how she works And as it stands the buggy ring outs and the chip damage kills is cause for her to be tweaked.

Apart from the bugs I wouldn’t say she’s broken just requires a very different approach to playing as/fighting against which is what sets Soulcalibur apart from other fist fighters.
 
I'd be willing to stake that Haohmaru is none of them, that guests weren't included, because a season three only having two characters in it doesn't make any sense. So we'll get Yellow, (guest), Snow, and Stone/Reptile this time, and season three will be Stone/Reptile, (guest or new character), Yell, and Star.

Additionally, the six codenames were "leaked" (or quite possibly planted) before the plan for Haohmaru arose: we saw the conversation (on Twitter) between Okubo and SamSho's devs that began the ball rolling on this cross-promotion, and that conversation began more than five months after the codenames were first datamined by FluffyQuack. Furthermore, Okubo has been clear as of interviews less than two weeks old now that virtually no work has been done on Haohmaru (I think he actually said something along the lines that nothing other than non-engine promotional assets have been completed as yet). So that's even further confirmation that he would not have been in development way back when. But of course we already knew that, because the only other explanation is that he was planned for nearly a year and the conversation between Okubo and his SamSho counterparts on Twitter was all scripted for the purpose of generating buzz. And I just doubt that they would collude in that way to manipulate the fans so overtly. And mind you, I'm the guy who thinks the data leaks were definitely intentional. :)
