If it were possible to be sexually aroused by game announcements (it isn't, by the way), I would be sporting a glorious erection right now.

Incidentally, if it's possible for you to be sexually aroused by game announcements, might I recommend a good round of psychological therapy?

The create a character mode alone has my money.

A whole new cast!? No!

Making an entire new cast would be outrageous. And difficult.

They should at least keep the iconic characters like Voldo and such.

I really dont care about Soul Calibur anymore. They all play the same to me.

I didn't even notice the whole new cast.

I guess I was so excited about the improved character creation that I didn't care about anything else.

And I still don't. If Mortal Kombat had a character creation mode, I'd never use the regular cast ever again.

Oh no! Iconic characters like Ivy.....Yoshimitsu.....and uhhh....Mitsubishi? Iconic characters like those are gonna be gone! woe is me

Just wanna know who the guest characters will be this time around *crosses fingers for Looney Tunes characters*

SCIV was the king of disappointments after the God that was SCIII. SCIV had a pathetic story mode, boring extra modes, and the character creation was crap. SC3's was original, Story mode was deep and fun, and Chronicles of the Sword is the most fun I've ever had in a side mode. If SCV is that much fun I don't care who's in it, they have my money

Yeah, Voldo is about it. But still, they shouldn't murder off the entire cast, that's a bit much. But if they're aiming for a bold new start, that would do the trick.

Is Voldo really that popular? I hate Voldo!

Seriously, if anything it's Nightmare that's iconic. He's on Project Souls' logo for god sake

I don't know if he's popular, but I'm sure he's the most known SC character, and surely the most recognizable. I'm not too fond of him myself, but he's quite distinguished. Not necessary for SC like Scorpion&SZ are for MK, but distinguished.

And Nightmare too. He's a must, imo.

I love Voldo and Talim. They should just make a new fighting game instead of desecrating the old one. The dude's name is Mitsurugi not Mitsubishi. And I just will never understand why people hate guest characters so much. They do not take away from original characters (except in the case of Kratos who has fatalities modified against him). Bonus characters are a bonus. If you don't want to use them, then don't

Particularly you Subman, I'm curious if you hated Sonic and Snake in Brawl.

Wait... no more Kilik? ... I find that distressing. He's my only favorite character in SC. That sucks.


On the upside? If they're doing all new characters, then that means new weapons styles! I hope this time we get both a Sai weilding character, a Three-Sectional Staff weilding character and a duel dagger wielding character. At least the first two if not all three. Ever since this series started I'd been hoping to get a character who used a pair of Sai. Perhaps not I'll get that wish.

Wait what? I love guest characters in fighting games....

I don't. With the exception of Link in Soul Calibur IV, I hate every single guest character in a fighting game. I hate Yoda, Starkiller, and Darth Vader in SCIV. I hate Spawn and Heihachi in SC2. I hate the random Halo Spartan in Dead or Alive 4. I hate Samus and Ridley showing up in Dead or Alive 3DS. I hate Snake and Sonic in Smash Bros. I hate MK vs DCU. I hate Kratos in SC: Broken Destiny. I hate Kratos in MK.

... Okay, Gon in Tekken 3 was cool.

Iconic? so link is back yes??

Go watch some mugen vids and film your response.

I don't think they are going to make a new cast especially when people are in touch with Daishi Odashima on his twitter. Plus just Think what Harada would say after giving him lead of soul calibur for the first time. I do hope however that there is more content than what was in scIV. If they have a robust creat a character like in scIII I would be happy.

So, a Soul Edge remake with Cervantes as the main villain again?

That'd be cool.

1) Dashi said everyone will be considered from Siegfreid to Li Long and Charade for the game. But Siegfreid isn't going to be the main character.
2) This isn't too hard. Unless it plans to compete with the WWE games.
3) Soul Calibur has never outsold Tekken so unless this tech is used on both franchises I doubt it
4) There was something wrong with the animation in the previous games?

Looking forward to this game. Unless they really make it too wierd.

Even then I'm a filthy whore for Soul Calibur.

All I'm really excited for is the Create-a-Fighter. I still use it in SCIV.

Yes, because I've NEVER seen or used a MUGEN emulator before... But those are hardly official. I've seen Peter Griffin fight Broly and the Burger King guy to the tune of Michael Jackson's "Beat It"...

... and I would very much like to keep the MUGEN experience AWAY from my real fighting games.

If Sigfried and Voldo are not in it. Im not Fucking buying it... period...
