SCV- New CHARACTER ideas

DarkRhythm said:
Fair enough. I just PERSONALLY would not want it in SC unless it was a very limited thing. Like a guy with a sword who can shoot a fireball for one of his skills. And it was not spammable.

Well yeah, I'm not talking about like... Someone who can sit out of reach and just spam the crap out of you... Project Soul's come up with some interesting things and made things that usually wouldn't work work, so if I'm sure if they wanted to do a magic character, they'd figure out how to make him/her work.

Well when you think about it it's moved more towards fantasy. Viola is a fortune teller, ZWEI's a werewolf, Raph is a Vampire, Voldo... Is Voldo (Or a human spider), Ivy's an alchemist with a living sword, Nightmare's a parasitic sword, and there's still more. I'm sure adding a more magically inclined character to a series that already has so much magic and fantasy wouldn't be harmful. And even with all of the magic and fantasy, there's characters who are more realistic, like Mitsurugi, Siegfried, Setsuka, and many other characters, as much as they come and go. I don't think balancing the fantasy and the realism isn't an issue.

More along the lines of supernatural. Realistic, but the swords, and Astral Chaos, have caused these powerful things to occur. Lizardman's and Nightmare's existence, Cervantes being a zombie for a short amount of time, Raphael becoming a Vampire.

That's pretty much why fans hated Viola and ZWEI in the overall idea (rather the moves themselves). It is still unexplained how they obtained them, especially, if Amy is Viola, that Amy wasn't this "magical" character, and now all of sudden she is. It's like PS intended on being lazy and having them be "fantasy characters" rather than "supernatural characters", rather than thinking up a valid idea as to why Viola can manipulate her orb, and the existence of EIN and why he picked ZWEI, of all people.

Technically ZWEI isn't a werewolf. A werewolf just assists him through battle.

And if Voldo is fantasy, then we should have a Salem witch trail against everyone in the circus.

Hmm, good point. I thought ZWEI was an ACTUAL werewolf though...

Also, a Salem Witch Circus would have been amazing.

OMG! I support this!
But Soul Calibur has always been built on "anime-type" characters. Just a different timeframe.

I think the art direction was best in SC3 where it was somewhat anime-like but still had a lot of realistic proportions. They can use anime based character tropes like the efeminite-royal princes or other tropes that give a more outgoing personality to the characters but not the design. The only passable character is Leixia.. she just needs a bigger role to her character.

Since ZWEI's name is German, I assume he's German. Too many German characters in this game. Also, I don't believe the whole "Amy=Viola" thing.

SCVI/Soul Blade II should expand upon this duo because they honestly seem like interesting characters. Natsu, Xiba, Maxi and Leixia should have their own little story arc as well, but I assume that would take the focus away from the swords.

Of course, but if ZWEI's name is "German", why wouldn't Project Soul just say he's from Germany? Instead, it says Unknown.

It's more of a 50/50 chance that Amy is Viola, but I believe it is. Viola's slight connection to Raphael, which really didn't need to be there, makes me believe so. Plus other signs.

ZWEI should have been asian or indian. He loooks more like a southern asian already. (and we dont have an indian character yet. The wolf thing is just the debate because they're eurocentric animals... represented at least.)

I guess that's synonymous to "Middle Eastern"......

Is it just me, or does ZWEI look Iranian, or Persian?

Comparing his render to this man.....

......there are some facial features that slightly compare to make me speculate, especially his slim nose, full lips, medium-dark skin complexion, and profound eyes.

The problem is that it is too hard to tell. ZWEI's is BORDERLINE FANTASY with an anonymous backstory, unlike the semi-historical background and appearance of others. ZWEI's eyebrows and hairstyle are so exaggerated. Not to mention his skin complexion being such a pale tone.

I couldn't find much on it either except eurocenturic places. The closest thing I could find was this fact "According to Persian mythology, wolves were creations of an evil spirit", BUT only two websites I've found have that fact. One of them is wikipedia.

The girls on the FAR RIGHT could have been our indian character.

Looks like Talim with a sword.

Anyways...

I think for new characters, I'm not too sure if anyone wants all old characters brought back (I wanna see Seung Mina again). However, if it was decided for the older characters to come back, they should be given new things. Like a new weapon. I had a vision where I was playing as Amy in SCV, except she has a much mature/older womenly voice & with a more serious attitude/personality. Her weapon was the Scythe & she had longer hair with a vampiric dress. That's how I visioned it.

I have tons more visions about older characters being brought back, but lets look at "BRAND NEW" characters. Now the most ultimate exciting character I always love to look forward too are the guest characters. Ezio Auditore was plain bs & I admire the try but it wasn't good enough. Devil Jin, I kinda liked him being around even though I never played the game where ever hell he came from (Tekken or SF). It was fun beatin the crap outta of people without a weapon with my created characters. However, I highly doubt he was any famous at all in SC.

Before that, Star Wars was the most utter bad decision. That was really stupid, in addition, I really hate those saber fags. Yoda, Vader, & Apprentice was absolutely stupid. Saber vs Steel? That last remark of ever thinking to bring them in SC series fell about five-hundred yards into making any sense what so ever. "Right, you can go through hard metal doors & cut guns in half, but you can't go through my sword" lmao.

I think Link was the only greatest guest we've ever had. & I think for our new guest should be someone who isn't in my favor but in other peoples favor really. Someone who's gotten alot of fans in their own video game. Someone who is decent to fit the roll in SC time line (or equipment atleast).

Here is a list of our next guest character that maybe decent enough. (Guessing guests at random)

1) Link again
2) Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja "Gay"den)
3) Cloud Striffff (Final Fantasy)
4) Lightning Farron (Final Fantasy)
5) Lu Bu (Dynasty Warriors)
6) Tadakatsu Honda (Samurai Worriors)
7) Dante (Devil May Cry)(- the guns...)
8) Regnier (Kingdom Under Fire)(Note: I'd definately pay to see him & Nightmare go at it)
9) Overlord (Overlord, the one with the stupid minions, this time he's alone)
10) Ayumi (X Blades)
11) Pyramid Head (Silent Hill)(Great fight against Astaroth)
12) Arthus Menethil (Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos)
13) Susano'o (Warriors Orochi 3)(Another fight I'd pay to see him vs Algol)

If I forgot anybody I apologize.... lol. These were just random characters that would may be great as our next guest character.

As for brand new characters for SC, well. I think I'll just leave that up to SC themselves, but next time don't get rid of anymore characters.
 
Yawn... don't care about CaS... Just play Algol, Viola, and Zwei for your magic stuff. Alternatively make a CaS of said characters and complain when your combos whiff.
Also, you can have a CaS with Algol's style if you hex edit the CaS to have it. Lol
