Next Soul Calibur Guest Character Speculation

[Laser Priest]

Seeing Hawke in those would make my day, but I doubt it would happen.

 

[Pedro The Hutt]

How about simply not having another Soul Calibur? The series has been gradually getting worse with each instalment (in my experience), with more badly balanced characters and the designs becoming more slutty with each reiteration. No thanks, I got the original Soul Calibur on both the Dreamcast and XBL (and the still good SCII on GameCube), I got all the SC I need.

They should give the arbiter a shot, that would be excellent....oh and Samanosuke needs to be in something again because i'm beginning to suspect that i'm the only one who knows who that is.

 

[Ampersand]

How about.... Master chief! No wait, thats a terrible idea (Dun hate me DX)

I respectfully disagree, just picture him with a rapier and a cape and the concept becomes infinitely more appealing.

Vega and Spike Spiegel have been suggested, and I just have to say: I was probably already going to buy this game, but if it has either of these two I would preorder it today.
I could tolerate Kratos, though wouldn't be too excited.
Someone suggested Alex Mercer, and it could work, but really speaking he doesn't have the lust for power (or the drive to stop those who have it) necessary to be pulled into the SC universe.
Please please please let Heihachi never come back.
I did like the original characters made by anime artists, and would like to see that happen again. I actually wouldn't mind if the clockwork chick (the Astaroth reskin I can't recall the name of) came back, but with a unique moveset. I may be biased though, as I have always liked the little girl/bruiser moveset contrast and am a sucker for clockwork robots. If a new batch of characters were made this way, I would prefer them to have their own movesets, or at least slightly different than the character they copy. Otherwise they may as well just be alt-costumes.
Create A Fighter is something I generally enjoy, but I hate it when the costume items have an effect on the characters stats - i.e. I can make my character look badass but he will be weak, whereas if I give him the pink polkadot pants and knitted woollen hat he will be invincible. Let me choose their look and their stats seperately.
Actually, I take that back. The knitted woollen hat is badass. A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

Wow. Lots of wording. I guess I should finish this off with my suggestions for the new guest, since that is, you know, the topic...
Um...
Er...
Yeah, I got nothing...

 

[evilstonermonkey]

Your post and av gave me the idea needed to make a suggestion... A dalek with a top hat, monocle and canesword.
In all seriousness though... Soul Calibur needs a chap.

I want the guy you got as a secret character in Soul Edge. I can't think of his name he is Seong Mina's Dad or other characters such as this. On the character creation side I really think they should leave it as is and keep it as a little cheap thing to try bring people into the game. By this I mean no custom characters online. Although I do kinda agree with Legion IV's sentiment which is why I want guest characters like him.

Also stop making shitty guest characters that have a very limited unique part to their moveset. Also make their moveset usable in character creation if it still exists.

None. I want soul calibiur to be taken seriously. Take out the character create as well.

What about half guests like Seong Mina's Dad? Just actually curious as to what you would think about someone like that.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

double post.

 

[Gigano]

I'd like a Castlevania characters, maybe Alucard (if he didn't resemble Raphael so much) or Gabriel Belmont.

Ezio Auditore or Bayonetta might fit in as well, and Kratos returning wouldn't be too bad either.

I can definitely see Ezio, his neutral stance could have him with a sheathed sword so one could take advantage of that, his hidden blades, his gun, smoke bomb (I smell a guardbreaker a la Yoshimitsu's A+B bad breath attack), and others. It would also fit quite well with the time period/style that the series resides in.

 

[Vivvav]

Could you throw me a link to where it was confirmed? It's not that I don't trust you, I just want to see any details that have been released.

I can totally do that!

I still think Shepard would work.

Punch everything.

Well for that, I see Dampierre from Broken Destiny coming back. He's kind of the best Soul Calibur character ever.

 

[Pearwood]

He's certainly my choice, though. He's even got more of a possible moveset than most people realize...because most people wrongly ignore DMC2.

How you'd balance million stab is anyone's guess though I agree with Dante though, and/or Bayonetta.

PS3 version: Bipedal robots from MGS4

360 Version: The robots from portal (tag team)

Woah woah woah wooooaaaahhhh, I want Portal robots too! 360ers can have MasterChef

 

[UlytimateDestruction]

Can't wait for this game, haven't played soul calibur since the PS2 days.

Sounds perfectly fine to me . Just star wars went to far same with link ect ect. Hell i thought Heihachi was a cool addition because he just fit better probably because hes a namco character. Just leave it to only other namco characters. like Spawn, was silly and i love spawn (looks at his shelf).

 

[m.zajac]

For the PS3 - Raiden from the MGS Series
For the Xbox 360 - The Dishwasher, from The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai

I see what you mean. I would rather if they fleshed out back stories a little like maybe even a guest appearance from Sigfried's Dad or a disgruntled first mate of Cervantes or something along those lines.

Commander Shepard!

...or Ezio, or Hawke.
