She's the only one I really liked, her design is awesome.

Lol okay well as long as we don't get Yoda and Darth Vader again I don't actually care about the guests.

Female guest character referring to a big name character with a unique style.
Bayonetta for example.

I'd actually like to see all of them return. That said, I'm fairly certain we can't consider Amy as a guest character, given she's an in-series character. Referenced and I think shown vaguely as a kid in 2, a bonus character in 3, then full-on in 4. Kamikirimusi coming back as an alternate costume and voicing for Nightmare would be lovely though.

Amy technically started as a guest character. To the point that the only line she had was "Amy!"

No, that was a bonus character. A guest is someone from a different IP altogether.

To be honest, guest characters in general are very disagreeable. Team Soul has to come up with style that fits the guest and their abilities, just to not be able to use it ever again fully. The one time the used them again was just loosely, Aeon getting a few Kratos moves and CaS classes in III getting a few of Link's moves

That's splitting hairs.

Just as shadows are cast where there is light, history hides away more than one truth.

Still a bummer they didn't keep anything from Vader or the Apprentice. Plenty of those moves would've been fine for just saber sabers, not necessarily lightsabers.
I disagree. I think there's a pretty big distinction between the two.

I can't tell you based off playstyle hands on experience, but Hwang and Yun are not clones.
In Soul Calibur III arcade edition Hwang has his own exclusive movelist. Of course I cannot tell you how unique it is from Yun though.
Hwang is a clone of Mitsurugi in Soul Blade. Then he is a clone of Xiangua in SC1. Then Yun is his replacement. In SC2 Hwang is a clone of Yun and X. In SC3 AE Hwang is no longer a clone.

I'm curious to see what the Nightmare's design will look like.

According to the German verison of the Namco website, there was a translation to the game's description.
"Reisen sie durch eine Parallelwelt, die sich im 16. Jahrhundert befindet..."
"Travel through a parallel world, set in the 16th century..."
If this is the case, the story could include parallel universes and alternate timelines (MAJOR SPOILER).

Maybe Kilik's rival will have some of Apprentice's moves?
I think it's pretty cut and dry lol. A guest is a character invited from one franchise into another, bonus characters are not invited they just sort of exist, without their own identity, as proven by how all bonus characters in the past have been put into a folder much like our CAS creations.

Not really. I find the distinction very important.

I pray that Cassandra is in the game. Neither of the Alexandra kids were a good replacement.
