Nothing like this thread to let off some steam. Fuck all of you people.
Devil May Cry sucks. Dante's a pussy and Virgil wishes he was Sephiroth (whom wishes he was cool).
Bayonetta sucks. If you have guns for heels and your ass is bigger than the broad side of the Vehicule Assembly Building, you shouldn't be in a fighting game.
Lightning sucks. Just get out.
Ezio can stay.
My vote on guest character still goes to Sheploo with omni-blade (even though I hate the very idea).

Claire "Lightning" Farron please.
Fang Oerba
Lighting would be similar to Yun Seong and, Cervantes. Shes very acrobatic and, she wields a gun blade.
Fang would be more like Kilik/Seong-Mina

I'm all for non-sexist, sexy, badass, and/or otherwise comical wimminz in my SCV.
Lightning, Bayonetta, enter stage left.

If I had a guess at a list of possibilities it would be:
Anime/Manga/etc:
Naruto
Bleach
Queen's Blade (due to Banpresto making the PSP video game)
Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls (due to appearance in the recent Banpresto game Queen's Gate)
Japanese Video Games:
Samurai Showdown
Metal Gear Solid Rising
Ninja Gaiden
Strider
Bayonetta
Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes
Dynasty Warriors/Samurai Warriors
Devil May Cry
Final Fantasy
and just about any other Namco Bandai owned property (ie Tekken, Tales series, etc)
Western Movies/Western Comics:
Conan the Barbarian
Predator
Alien
Marvel Properties
DC Properties
Western Video Games:
Assassin's Creed
Mass Effect
Gears of War
BioShock
Deus Ex Human Revolution
Tomb Raider
God of War
Uncharted
Halo
Killzone
In the end alot of them might be honest considerations but I don't really think they would fit in to the game. Granted Star Wars was in but it didn't really fit into the game either.
For the most part out of the anime I think they they have the biggest shot out of all the suggestions. Most of them already have established business connections with Namco Bandai and there established license holders. Throwing them in Soul Calibur would likely be little if any problem to establish another deal.
As for the Japanese video games Dynasty Warriors might not fit due to it using real historical figures were as SC has always made characters just based of them. For instance, it might just be more reasonable to make an SC version of Lu Bu and call him Boo Ya. Have him in a sense replace Astaroth or Rock. Anyway same problem for Sengoku Basara characters. After that you just have the time period barrier.
Conan would be interesting but unlikely due to similarities to preexisting characters. Predator and Aliens would be wild but highly unlikely. Still it would be interest to see.
The biggest barrier for the western franchises, outside of the obvious language barrier, yet again seems to be the time period they occur. Assassin's Creed and God of War seems to be the only two that fit. Tell you the truth I'm kind of sick and tired of seeing both of them.
Time barrier may not seem like much of a reason to not pick possibilities but I really don't think Star Wars really worked for Soul Calibur at all. It was cool to see them they just didn't fit and it seemed like there inclusion was a waste of time that could have been spent on more fruitful ventures.

I agree but of course being the greedy person that I am I would like to see more of the following,
Facial Options. (Because frankly three fourths of the faces are butt ugly)
Character Height/Weight control. (Hard to make characters like Chibi Usa in SCIV because she looks like an Ogre.)
Full lenghth Kimonos (It is a JAPANESE game for goodness sake.)
Jackets/vest ect (Yeah I know its a bit odd but you don't know HOW many times I've been at a loss because I can't put one of these on my character separate from the undergarments and top options.
Bring back more body mark options. (Ok this isn't very clear but let me explain in SCIII you could pick blush, tattoos, or scars to place on your character's face or chest I wish we had more of these.)
*Okay this last one is sheer fantasy and I don't expect it to actually come in SCV but I'm going to put it anyway. The ability to manually put in your created characters catch phrases.*

lol, I had the same thought :) Never gonna happen but hey, a girl can dream, right?

Oh yes we can! I would fashion catch phrases like. "Come and Get some." "Awww I'm sorry" "Don't be a sore loser." "Can you handle this?" "Rock, Paper, your dead." "I win because I'm beautiful." and of course. "That was a ninja whomp sucka!"

Since the Character Creation feature was added to the Soul Calibur franchise I thought it was kinda neat but did it ever really make the cut to anyones standards?
I don't know, after messing around with it for a while I just never really saw how this made the game better... It is a cool unique feature to SC but I've started to wonder would it be better to get rid of CC all together and go for a more Tekken like Character Customization for the main characters?

I had more fun with it in Soul Calibur IV than I did III. I've always been proud of my Siegfried design:
I'd like it to come back but maybe more robust (the undergarment options were too limited; destroy his lower armor and Siegfried runs around in his tighty whiteies).
Not sure if I'm in favor of additional styles like in Soul Calibur III, though. I feel like that might detract from serious play.

Man I want some real deal detail in SCV creation. I was able to create Kratos exactly like he looks in Smackdown vs Raw. I'm gonna upload the picture of it soon.

I think Soulcalibur's CAS feature is an absolute good. It's just another thing that sets SC apart from the other fighting games. It's also why SC has a wide number of casual players, and imo, that is not a bad thing in the slightest. Do I think the CAS feature could use some work? Heck yeah. But do I enjoy using the feature? You bet I do. So I think it should stay. Dropping the feature would be really silly to do, since the CAS feature is potentially strong enough to sell the game on its own.
As for Tekken's customization feature. Soulcalibur IV pretty much had everything Tekken had in regards to the main characters. Dressing them up and whatnot. I like being able to edit the main characters, but also create my own character from scratch thank you. I don't want this series to be even more like Tekken.

Tekken like may have been a harsh term lol but you get what I'm going for... and yeah, SC4 did have the main character customization but maybe step that up to the next level with way more options than before and let the rest go. I just hate the idea of playing with a guy that uses the same exact style as my main when I can just play as main in the first place and a lot of the options suck.
I do agree that it is a very unique part of SC and it would be a shame if it was lost but man I really want to see some improvements cause right now I don't even touch the thing.
Maybe that is a selfish wish but what can I say

Nah, I hear you. I found the SCIV CAS stuff underwhelming after a while. I would like for it to be expanded on a lot in SCV. SC III had a lot more options than SCIV when it came to equipment. The only thing SCIV had going for it over III was being able to edit the character's body size.
