Why is this acceptable when others are not?
Because like i said,it's only to a certain degree.Only thing magical about Ivy's style is when she splits the small blades that make up her snake sword.And that's only in Critical Edges,Finishes,and grabs.Not in regular moves.
Also;Not as often as ZWEI summons EIN,nor as often as Viola uses her floating orb.
Except that he can drain vitality and has a Counter Move(?) where he teleports and slashes you with his rapier.
Same reason as Ivy's.
Except that he has a Critical Finish where he throws his opponents into a black hole.
Critical Finishes & Critical Edges are an excuse.Since's they're not normal moves. It's not like he can open a black hole anytime he wants in battle.
My guess is Zasalamel opens the black hole from his inner strength , not from his scythe.
What if I told that Project Soul wanted to incorporate wind powers into her fighting style, but couldn't due to technical limitations?
Call me when it happens. :>
So, you do admit that Nightmare has some form of magic in his form.
Yes;but like i said about Ivy & Raphael,It's only a limited amount of moves.Actually,isn't it just that one move for Nightmare?
Are you freaking kidding me?! Cervantes can fly, teleport, and use telekinesis on his weapons for attacks.
Okay,my bad.I forgot about Cervantes's ways.
But again,same thing as Ivy,Raphael,and Nightmare. ONLY magical moves that he uses freely
in battle are his teleportations right?Does he rly fly?
He uses telekinesis in his winning and grab animations,not in actual game-play.I mean he can't just throw his weapons at you using telekinesis in the middle of the fight or whenever he pleases.
Why does it seem that it's okay to have fantasy elements in appearance, but it's not okay to incorporate said elements into their fighting style?
Because I personally want SC to stay true to it's core.Remember how it started in Soul Edge?ONLY magical move in that entire game was the move where soul edge teleports on top of the opponent and slashes them from above.Also,i just don't want to be a 3rd Street fighter or Naruto.
I'd let Viola and Algol keep their orbs and Z.W.E.I. keep his wolf, because that's what them special and unique. I'd just rebalance them instead.
I respect your opinion & point of view.
However;IMO,i think PS can make them special without the floating orbs and werewolves.
