Ideas for new characters?

Okay I am sure this has been discussed the heck out of, but I felt it would be cool to see people's ideas. I personally do not think there are enough knights in the Soul Calibur Universe we only have Siegfried and Hilde. We do not have a character with a broad sword yet or the classic sword and shield character (aside from Link, and no the Greek characters don't count!). So, what do you all think?

Please try and keep this within the Soul Calibur Universe, meaning NO GUNS, Cervantes is an exception. Also, please make them feasible to throw them into the game. Do not include any characters from other games, not looking for guest characters in this discussion.

TO MODERATORS: If this has been discussed so much that you hate this please delete this thread.
 
A broadsword/longsword character would be awesome. Bladed fans and Hammers are weapons that could fit nicely.
Don't know about an archer character being a fighter but it'd be interesting to see how one would perform in close combat, like using the arrows as blades or turning the bow to a kind of sword.
 
im just ready for new styles. seriously how many times can you remake mitsurugi's moveset? he should retire honestly. a mace weilding character could be something, or the wave sword style from SC3 can make a return
 
Ezio's move-set gives the possibility of a character who wields multiple weapons. I'd like to see his move-set to a new character who can do this; like what they did with Kratos.

Nightmare's a Knight, you got 3. However, that's what CAS is for. Just make your own knight; simple as that. Although you probably arent a CAS type of person to bother dealing with that sort of thing in the first place. How I see it as, if I ever wanted plain ol knights, I'd dress the original characters into one or make my own CAS knight (Which I do have, named him Young Knight). The only thing these characters need to have further use of themselves is more modes like Chronicle of The Sword (Best game mode ever made in the history of fighting Imo).

To look at it differently from my perspective. I would love to have more original characters with new styles to use for my CAS. Who wouldn't wanna have more characters added? However, most weapon types are already taken. Great Sword, Sword & Shield, Sword, Axe, Spear, Staff, Double Swords, Double Axes, even a ring blade which is entirely new. Something new would be like a double bladed staff. Anyting else you can use would be pretty much a remake of something for an original Knight.
 
I feel like there's already a thread about this.....

Oh well....

Besides Bangoo and Riki:

-A young Geisha character, since Setsuka "ain't" coming back. A large tessen and jutte is what I would prefer as her weapon, but hey, if PS does make one, I wouldn't know what her weapon would be.

.......That's all I can think of right now. Don't want to take it too far with characters from other continents and countries, because that would cause a s**tstorm here like it usually does.

But generally, I would like to see new characters with new weapons and new movesets. Chances are that we will get them in future installments.
 
We need someone with a chain whip. We need someone with a butterfly blade, a double edged sword. We need someone with dual katanas.

May I borrow that idea? Just wondering. lol
 
Let's see. That tessen should have been in the game for a LOOOOOONG time.
I want a new S&S user to take over the regular pat style and Cassandra to come out of Astral Chaos and take her Phyyra style back (Since SC and SE were destroyed it could cause a rapture in space and time allowing for her escape blabla bla.)
I want taki back, not because I like he over Natsu because Natsu is WAAAAAAYYY better but because Natsu can go Demonic Arahabaki style and do that instead.

Hookswords could be nice, And a nambu would as well (I know the OP said no guns but fuck it :P)

I love it when people know that. I don't know why.

I'm all for a defensive/parry style using one of those giant fans. That'd be numptious.

Also, being the weirdo I am, I'd like a character who has two matching shields. Could be interesting. A style built around counter hits and superior blocking. The damage output on normal attacks wouldn't be so high, but counter hits and the like would be much more powerful than normal. Give him some good aGI skills and we're set.
 
Perfect way in few moves

-Stop the " mitsurugi he should retire" bullshit, since he's one of the most iconic chars and one of the strongest design.
All for keep as many veterans as possible (Mitsu, Sieg, Cervy and so on)
Biggest fight games like SF or Tekken keep too theyr veteran, it keep all solid

-Keep as many old characters as possible, since almost every time SC drop a char or replace it disappoint is coming.
Yunsung (as design) is not half of the character that Hwang was, Natsu is ridicolous compared to Taki, same for Xiba and daddy. AlphaPat seem jump out from some sad guiltyGear/BlazeBlue, where Setsuka was awesome.
New greeks are'nt bad, but i take it as the exception that confirm the rule.
Also no reason loss like Zasalamel, Mina and Rock, still steal something from SCV (game that i like waaay more than SC4) cast
New characters seem as a whole a herp derp group of young boys and girls with no exageration (see no new huge "wrestler" dude, no new creeepy, no new freak, no new phisically particular char. All new try hard to be "cool"), made to sell well to internet kids

-return to a more "SF" way, based on stereotype-culture (like example Mitsu-japan-samurai, Sieg-germany-knight, and so on) as starting point, to design new characters.
Almost all best designed characters of the series are born in that way

-Don't answer back the 3 points above, take it as straight rules from Gatsu's Holy Bible.
Everytime i fall into this shit i have to write long boring mammoth size post about what is chara design, how it works and how marketing/internet/retards influence it
Not this time, just fuck you :D

-Bangooo bitches, Bangooo



Said that, more on detail what i will like

-Irish or Scottish dude with bastard sword

-African woman with badass tribal style. Spear or spear+shield (and about africans Zasa back, please)

-Recycle Ezio's moveset for next chapters. I play the series since SB, i never liked guests... still Ezio is my main in SCV. Such a various, stylish, not overpowered feeling moveset, based on play smart and read well instead suppa combo and throwing random overpowered shit. I will miss that moveset,i hope it get Kratos->Aeon way

-Random nationalities (seen as style/culture/classic weapons) i will like see in: italian, indian, russian, anything from middle east, south america, east european



Half OT

Stages
-give me back more "real world" based locations
-give me back THE SUN you fucking emo. 20+ stages and how many? 5? with full sun light
 
I'd like to see a Central or South American Indian with one of those awesome shark tooth swords. Or was that the Pacific Islanders? Maybe they used obsidian swords. IDK, but having a real native american who is searching for the sword to defend his homeland against European colonizers would make a good story I think.

Also, it must be said, a knight with a morning star. Hands down, this should have been in since SC1.

shark tooth-> islanders
obsidian-> SA

And YES an huge knight with chain morning star with a flow similar (but waaay slower-powerful-clumsy-brutal) flow like Maxi combos, will be some crazy fitting shit. I can see him force people to block and rape theyrs guard meter.
Kind of inertia based gameplay, slow to start but unstoppable when shit start :D

Also, I'm kinda wanting more detail from you, because I wanna see what else you got in mind. Somethin tells me I wanna believe you. It's not like their gonna change SCV anyway. I'd also would love to have Seung Mina back & Zasa. The stages, I find them kind of cool but I think I would of prefered more of the stages in SCIV then SCV. I would also love to have real world based stages. Like Dampierre's stage was pretty badass in Broken Destiny because it was like hangin around the lit night of town on christmas or some shit. As for the weather, I would of loved both, night & day; but balanced.

How cool would it be to hang around the most luxury part of town with elegant themes of the stage. I'd pick it alot, day, night, or sun set.
