Rumor: Assassin's Creed's Ezio Joins Soulcalibur V Cast
- Thread starter Earnest Cavalli
- Start date
There should be a game a la soulcalibur and super smash bros. which has EVERY character from EVERY game all able to fight each other so you can finally find out who would win in a fight between, say, superman and yoda, or between link and ezio... that would be a game I would love to buy.
Quite frankly, in my opinion, it'd be better to not exist anymore then become this mess.Lenin211 said:
Nicole - 451 was the female spartan in DoA 4, and she isn't in the Halo expanded universe canon, most of the surviving spartan-II's were numbered around the early 100sAirsoftslayer93 said:Yeah, i knew it was a female spartan, but i couldnt be arsed to go and look up the name that i had forgotten, i also remembered that the spartan was originally meant to be masterchief but it was changed. and yeah... i obviously don't have any knowledge of fighting games...Earnest Cavalli said:
As a fan of Halo, and someone who utterly detests fighting games, I can only say that the experience left a sour taste in my mouth... except for Nicole's epic move where you take out a plasma grenade and stick it to a part of your enemy... specifically their nuts
Oh and the Grunt punt, which looks hilarious
Seems awesome to me, and as for why they won't use Altair i can only imagine it's because they'd probably have a largely same fighting style except Altair is less of an icon.
I for one welcome him into SC5 so long as the game itself manages to do good.

I LOL'd That's actually a damned great description.Earnest Cavalli said:
I saw this yesterday in a forum thread here, and will repeat what I said there. This is a perfect match and I'm all for it. Unlike Star Wars...
I don't get all the people saying he's a bad fit. They've previously said that this new SC will focus more on quick, close quarter combat. Ezio would fit perfectly with that, plus he's got a varied arsenal which is always necessary in fighting games. How much do you wanna bet that the new bombs will be a special move?
Whoops. Reading comprehension fail on my part. Although I would say my question is still relevant to the other guy I quoted. You're right about Vader and Yoda, although they eventually were released as DLC for the other system, which is pretty ridiculous. Sorta makes you wonder why they even bothered with console exclusivity in the first place.SelectivelyEvil13 said:
I was thinking about this, and the 360 doesn't seem to have a lot of exclusives that don't take place in futuretimes. I really don't know who they would even use to balance out the PS3 exclusive characters in Street Fighter vs Tekken. Given the goofinss of the game thus far, I wouldn't be surprised to see an Idolm@ster girl or that weird slaryman mascot with the Xbox logo for a head Microsoft had for a while. Who knows?
But obviously neither would make sense for SCV. *shrug*
Hey, no problem.BrainWalker said:
Who knows about Xbox and exclusive characters. If they go for any of their main IPs, they're pulling characters completely out of place from any that I can think of off the top of my head, so it is interesting to wonder. As others have surely stated, how are you going to fit Marcus Fenix into the time period, let alone his "fighting style?" Looking back at SCII, the Xbox character didn't have anything really to do with Xbox that I knew of because he was just Spawn. The PS2 character also never seemed too appealing to me, given that he was just a "regular" fighting game crossover character (Perhaps Dante would have been cool since Devil May Cry was exclusive to Sony at the time). When considering Nintendo's overall lineup of unique characters, Link was the one of the only widely well known and appropriate characters due to his combative style that actually could match a weapons-fighting game. Ezio or Altair can more easily fit into the SC parameters considering they're fighting, yup, guys with swords. They are also armed with proper weapons and aren't from a horror movie!
Now that you mention the DLC Yoda/Vader, I am curious whether or not there is even more incentive to have console unique characters to later sell off as DLC to the appropriate console. If you already designed one character, what is the trouble of adding it later to the same game on a different console, especially with bonus cash? It also incentivizes multiple purchases by the same consumer for different consoles if they are to be so eager (not a big market, but still something). I'll give credit for fairness, too, by at least relinquishing the exclusivity on the characters after enough time has passed.
Maybe its just me being a big Assassin's Creed and Soul Calibur fanboy, but allow me to just say, OMG I'M SO EXCITED! But whats to stop Ezio from playing as crap as the Star Wars characters? Still I'm looking forward to Soul Calibur V mostly because its Soul Calibur V.
Ezio actually fits the time frame and theme so he doesn't clash with the game like the Star Wars characters did. It's the only guest character aside from Link that didn't bother me.Mouse_Crouse said:
