I kind of doubt it, personally. That's "main quest" territory, and we already did that. Hwang and Setsuka don't have a lot to do with Cervantes, and neither would the possible Rock, Aeon, Li Long, or Yun-seong. I'm not really sure who Aizen and Tosen are, either, but I mostly agree with @KageKazenami here, that the second Azwel as an illusion, I really doubt we're going to have literal clones in SoulCalibur.
I see it more that Hwang has the opportunity to have a greater story involvement going forward. If I'm for any "divergence", it's not leaving legends behind.
Very doubtful, considering Han-myeong is already in the game using Soul of Mitsurugi in Libra of Soul:
I could actually see this working, that one flippy attack of the Wave Swords being able to have the Grieve Edges deliver a follow-up, and just in general, giving the arms something to do with the Grieve Edge style... It would be a wall of blades.
Without meaning offense, I honestly can't think of something that would more quickly undercut everything that made special a particular style that already has a great aesthetic and sense of weight and balance. I would say two such styles, but the truth is, I find the Wave Sword style to be among the more gimicky, contrived, and goofy of all of the SCIII:CE bonus character semi-styles. Grieve Edge, on the other hand, is brilliant, and deserves to come back in its own right, with an expanded moveset without being chained to one of SCIII's most impractical weapons (which is really, really saying something). Grieve Edge both took inspiration from* and gave inspiration to genius. What you two are contemplating here sounds unlikely to be a fraction as inspired as the original approach to the concept, if it could even be made cohesive at all without degenerating into a noise of flailing limbs and Dampierre-level silliness. Sometimes more quickly becomes less, my friends. All Grieve edge needs is expanded moves, maybe a little bit of fusion with a brawler vibe.
I’d say an MK guest wouldn’t really be ideal either. Especially given the difference in their scales on the violence in their games. Despite the series with it’s weapons and magic, Calibur is honestly quite tame with it’s violence especially in comparison to MK which takes that to a very over the top level (and has become a big selling point in the latter franchise). To put in an MK guest they’d more than likely have to be stripped down in order to fit in with the rest of the cast. And there’s no way Namco would try to up the antsy on their own games in terms of violence with SC and Tekken.
Yes and no. There is indeed a lot to do in this game that's for sure. But many things are hidden behind incredible amount of nonsensical grind and RNG. Also many modifiers in Towers of Time are fun from being fun. Other than that - yes I would say it's great.
Yeah butt iirc there is still blood in that game. Less but still. We don't even have that. Also imagine soul caliburified scorpion. Would that look right?
Or giving the SC cast their own set of gruesome fatalities and brutalities. I mean, does anyone really want to see something like Sophitia stabbing someone’s heart out of their chest, or Voldo removing his opponents entrails and wrapping them around his katars like they were strands of spaghetti?...
