Soulcalibur VI is a reboot that brings the series back to the classic era of the series, covering SCI and some of SCII, done in part to get out of the time skip SCV left the series in. Considering that it's unlikely we'll ever be going back to the SCV era, at what point do you think the new timeline of SC will diverge from the old and how do you think it will?
I expect maybe in Soulcalibur VII (which I assume will cover SCIII and SCIV) we'll reach the point where Siegfried defeats Nightmare, and Hilde pardons him for his crimes. Then when it seems the ending is happy once and for all, we cut to Algol with a sinister smile. He says something like "All is going according to plan. The swords may have eluding me in the past life, but they shall be mine again. And when I collect them, the world will be my own!"
Having known how the timeline was altered, he plans to make sure to prevent what happened in that era by collecting both swords and taking over this one. Algol being an cosmic interdimensional being who was the oldest wielder of Soul Edge and the creator of Soul Calibur, I can easily see him "jumping" from the old timeline to the new. I can also see Zasalamel, being a time lord and all, having knowledge of the past timelime and taking his own steps in the ring (it may explain why he's in SCVI despite the game not reaching his debut).
Afterwards, this sets the stage for a new post-SCIV era of the series that doesn't make the time jump SCV did. Seems like a sound idea to me. What do you think?
