    The solution lies where I said above, narrate it with story-like illistrations as Tekken does.
    But i dont want to see illustrations, i want to see a movies tho. . . i dont like tekken

    Well...considering how each character story's begins with a tl;dr wall moving text, then has 5 fights with fancy dialogue at the beginning of each one, and finally ending with a non-canon cutscene followed by a black screen with one sentence...I guess the REAL story could be to understand why Namco tried to pass this off as one.
    YES! U SPEAKITH THE TRUTH! lol

    lol i know the mode exists but i wouldn't call it a STORY more of a joke
    so disappointing, especially after SC3

A lot of what other people said, especially the "Cutscenes THEN a battle."
I'd like to see a cutscene of Ivy and Cervantes battling it out... Or Ivy and Mitsu. A real cutscene, not the opening movie, not a battle, a god damn Cutscene.

I noticed the NPC's and areas are from Elder Scrolls Oblivion. Its so weird how perfectly it fits... and NPC blood makes the +1 more badass.
 
Ways to Improve story Mode

1. A true Story Mode a la MK9. Apart from it showing the actual story, you get a chance to be introduced to playing as new characters. I think that is what they are planning for SCV.
2. Edge Master/Tale of Souls Mode which is a more fictional approach to the story mode. It could be from cutscenes (Soul Calibur 3) or just written (Soul Blade). This is also the opportunity for different endings for whatever direction, or whatever input you take. Input meaning the command inputs like SC3.
3. A Mode catering to CaS characters. A story mode, or a Chronicles of the Sword mode. It doesn't matter. They just need to be put into good use, which SCIV didn't do, but SC3 did.
 
I would like a story mode like that of MK9. We want to know the events taking place for every character, not "what would happen if X beats Nightmare."

It did have it's pointless fights such as, Jax fighting Johnny because he hit on Sonya. We'd wanna avoid that sorta thing for SCV.
