Soul Calibur 5 Guest/Bonus/CAS Character Discussion

You know from what I saw on Microsoft's press conference the Kinect can be used to scan a person and place him/her as an avatar.

Imagine if that can be done in CAS but only optional.

I love the idea, but it sounds like it would take up alot of space on the game disc.
I would understand for maybe the face/head shape or something.

They should have skin overlays to add wrinkles, freckles, birthmarks, moles etc
Available in the same section where you pick your hair, voice, skin color and body shape editor

Oo, heres another idea, weapon color editors? except for special weapons like Soul Calibur/Edge.
Like being able to change the color of the hilt, handle, shield etc, just as you would change the color of your clothes

Because being a furry and being a burly man who wears a fuckin rhino as armor are on different levels of bad ass...One being badass...the other being ass and bad.

Now if we're talking about wearing live animals as armor...now you're talking...so long as it's not "sheep drunk with a sober farmer" kinda "wearing"

I Don't get why it wasn't put in in the first place.

I'm glad ya like my idea : )
At least I'm not the only one who thinks so though
 
This idea contribution demand isn't so much related to CaS.
Have you ever looked at the characters in the loading screen?
I mean have you realllllyyyy looked?
(...and no, I do not mean staring at people's exposed areas...I'm talking to both girls and guys, Ivy and Yun-Seong being only a couple eye candy examples I'm referring to)
ANYWAYS...
Its really noticeable with Setsuka...
The thing I'm talking about...is...

Horrible-Caveman-Eyebrow-Ridge-itus
http://www.fortunecross.com/soulcalibur4/images/setsuka/1p_001.jpg

Yun-Seong has it too, but hes a guy...he suits it, but Setsuka? I don't think so D:<
My advice to the character designers...avoid making females with exceptionally large eyebrow ridges.
Either that, or fix the lighting for the loading screen previews of characters to make it less noticable.

On another note...
Something really tragic happened between Soul Calibur 3 and Soul Calibur 4...
Setsuka picked up a case of big-boob-itus.
Its easy to cure, just remove some of it... please...
In SC3 she used to be so much quicker..
Then she went and got a boob job, now she moves aprox 20% slower.
It appears as if they are slowing her down.
Please remove excess boobie, and give it to someone who may need actually need it
Possibly split it up between Amy and Talim?

It's a simple "no" from me. I think it's pointless to add a character who can only be in one game (or even worse, in only one version of the game) and who also looks very out of place.

I'm surprised the majority of the votes so far do want a guest character. I thought most SC fans didn't like the idea of guest characters.

ehhh i hate the idea of system-spacific guests (link, heihachi, spawn, ect). at least with vader and the clap, you had the option on both systems to get the other. if it wasnt for the fact im both a square enix freak or im completely in love with bayonetta, i would say nix the guests, but....

Now if it had to come to FF cameos in SCV, I'd accept any of the cast members who AREN'T from FFVII, FFVIII, and FFXIII. What I would PREFER though, if it had to come to FF cameos, would be any character(s) from FFT or FFXII (aside from Vaan because I hate Vaan). The world of Ivalice compliments the setting of SC nicely and logically.

How about Gilgamesh? Searching for Soul Edge/Calibur is just right for his character. For the lulz, SCV could be canon to his story (he wanders around the very FF games as the same person.)
 
I might have missed the suggestion but i would like the team to include armor and outfits from previous installments of the series. I understand it might be a lot to ask for content wise but as similar as the graphics look to scIV (atm , i understand it is a work in progress) it may not be to much of a stretch. Personally speaking i was very excited to see the Usurpers armor from the original sc.

Some favorites include:
Cassandra 2p scII
Zasalamel 1p scIII
Xianghua 3p scIII
Ivy 2p scIII
Siegfried 2p sc
Sophitia 2p sc/ 2p scIII

As well as that, the trails of light when you swing the weapon - it always annoyed me in SC3 that it was always blue. I need to change this!
 
How about guest armor pieces? Instead of putting everybody's request characters, they could make averone happy by putting a scorpion ninja mask, a tekken leopard mask, a power ranger helmet and some anime hair styles. And then ... TADAH! everyone is happy, the balance is still there and no one can even complain about a character that doesn't fit, never really liked, is too unbalanced, etc.

AND PLEASE, just add a lightsaber to mitsurugi as a joke weapon. We don't need another yoda.
 
Let me explain. Imagine that you work at Namco marketing department and have to choose a guest character for SCV. But before you start, let me set the rules:

- Try to make it surprising, something that players don't expect at all, so that they get surprised and hyped. It doesn't matter if the character doesn't fit, that will make it even better!

- it has to be marketable. He-man just won't. Work, since the target audience are teenagers and young adults, who grew up in the 90's

This said, i woukd go for something like bayoneta or ninja gaiden. That oukd be pretty badass and amazing, even though all he magic of gore ould not be there... The mighty morphin power rangers (preferibly the white, red or green) would look stupid and wouln't fit much, but namco just got the rights, the target audience grew up with them, and hey, the got swords! Plus, nothing can fit less than star wars... NOTHING! Well, maybe Gears of War...

For me, there's really only one person that would be the perfect combination of recognizable, suitable, and badass: Simon Belmont.

The CastleVania series is a perfect thematic mesh with the Soul series, Simon has a unique fighting style and weapon that hasn't been done already (with MAYBE an exception of Ivy's whip), not to mention he's a badass through and through.
 
Aside from being -70 or so timeline wise (Well, at least 1 non-canon game has time travel and 1 canceled game has a Belmont pulled into the past, though Ressurection's excuse doesn't work unless Soleiyu is incapacitated, but hey, non of SC5 would be canon anyways.)
 
Lots of licensing issues for the most part (well, Tekken wouldn't).

If it was restricted to Namco Bandai stuff (Like Kosmos in 3), it would be possible though.
 
Reposting my opinions on who I want in SCV.

My dogmatic list:

Raiden from MGS:Rising would be awesome, but he doesn't fit due to his sword style, story or so. It would be nice to see him in it, but the story of how to fit him in leaves reconsidering him despite how much I like him.

Lightning may be a good fit as to what she has to offer in terms of fighting. The story of how to fit her in is something I question about though....

Anyone from Assassin's creed would be a great fit. Their story and fighting style always links to their ancestors or so and could make it easy for soul team to put in.

Above all, I want Lightning for aesthetic reasons. However, assassin's creed guys is another choice I highly want if not Lightning.

Done venting.
