As much as I want to rail on Stickman for being an idiot, I can't really do it in a way that hasn't been done and doesn't fuel his attention-whoredom. I don't really want the thread locked for shit flinging because I think it's a really cool discussion.
So instead I'm going back on topic.
Just reiterations/updates to my other previous post earlier in the thread. Spoilered for length:
Favourites:
DJin: I think I'm one of like 3 DJ mains here and I don't even know how good I am with him. However, playing as him is so goddamn fun, fucking lazers everywhere. Scoring an RO by punching someone into the god damn astral chaos is hilarious. But enough of that, he isnt SC
Hilde: Used to be my main until I actually played DJ and found out that a horrible range isn't as bad as it seems. Hilde is still way up there, in fact in my stats her and DJ have equal percentage. Hilde style was the style I made my first CaS in V and it just stuck. Her hold gimmick is an excellent learning tool to break me out of my past habits as a button mashing scrub. Plus her moves are really cool to watch. I adore her 66A+B and her hold B~B.
Kilik/Xiba: Kilik was my main for 2-4 but I haven't gotten around to playing Xiba much until recently. At first I wasn't too keen on Xiba at first because he wasn't my waifu but I'm getting to learning him now since he's got the potential to be absolutely ridiculous, and the computer wrecks me with him 80% of the time. I also have a thing for polearms and hitting people with sticks and the like, and some of Xiba's moves are funny.
Maxi: Maxi is a hilarious character. I think he's come back to life more times than Zasalamel has. His style is really fun as well. I think that Maxi is one of those characters that's got an interesting learning curve; intimidating to newbies yet relatively easy to pick up, kind of mediocre at mid level skill [like me, I'm not gonna lie I am a terrible Maxi], a goddamn murderer in skilled hands. Plus he's just so amusing to watch and listen to. Silly kung fu noises errywhere
Patroklos: He has by far the most interesting S&S style that I've seen throughout the whole series. I never really fancied the Alexandras before because they all seemed a bit too similar for my taste. Pat's style has some personality that wasn't present in the other S&S styles, hell it's even present in his stance. I'm not too keen on his character but he's got one hell of a trollface and his taunt is one of the best imo.
Honourable Mentions:
Cervantes: He's one of those characters that I like but can't utilize properly. It's just straight up badass, I'm gonna do all this spinny shit and then pop a cap in your god damn face. His BE throw is my favourite way to end a match.
Viola: I could care less about her character but holy shit damage from all sides. She's got kind of an interesting design too, which I like.
Elysium: Dat BS critical edge. I like her Soul Calibur versions of all the weapons as well. They're pretty.
Dampierre: This doesn't even need an explanation. I did his A throw and hit myself in the face and scored an RO on LS Kilik. I was laughing into next tuesday even while I was getting wrecked afterwards.
Least Favourties:
ZWEI: To me he seems like too much work for not enough profit. I'm not too keen on his design much either, seems too Twilight/HT. He has potential to be fleshed out into something cool in the future, but for now I'll pass....
Astaroth: I'm horrible with him, I'm horrible against him. I'm kind of bummed that he was taken in over Rock as well, Rock was a cooler character even though I didn't use either of them much.
Patsuka: Same deal with Astaroth. I can't bring myself to learn him much when there are many more appealing options, but I fully expect to get justice shoved up my ass whenever he shows up...
Tira: I like her style but I hate playing it. Even with stance changes there doesn't seem to be a lot of interesting variants in her movesets imo. Plus I'm not really a fan of the character.
Mimikilik: WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME
End absurdly long post :P
EDIT: Holy crap spoilers are on the fritz. I'll just remove em
