This pretty much sums my thoughts up. Also, I wish they would bring back the sidestep mechanics from sc2. Later sc games seemed to give too much incentive to spam verticals imo.Mace Tulio said:

I skipped out on SC4, but hell, Soul Calibur is the only fighting series I've been interested in, so I will watch this closely. Just hoping they stop putting Ivy in the skimpy stuff, I play fighting games to beat down my friends, not stare at Ivy's boobs Namco.
1. Fuck guest characters. Fuck Link, fuck Spawn, fuck Yoda, and a major league fuck you to The Apprentice.
2. The preview makes the new guy like look a douche with really stupid hair. I thought the characters designs got worse from SC3 to SC4 for almost all the characters. If he's an indication of how the rest of the cast will look then i'm going to be dissapointed.
3. If they bring back the bullshit stats for created characters I will be pissed. It's extremely lame to make a character just the way you like, and then you go online and realize that they hae 50% health and can't do any damage.
4. Swords are short now. Okay, why did you feel the need to mention it as part of the story?Seriously what the fuck!? Is this a major plot point now? Will Siegfried wax poetically about why swords must be shorter?
5. Armor breaking was stupid, please remove it.
6. The 17 year timeskip thing has me slightly confused. Some charcters like Ivy and Taki were in their late 20's early 30's in the last game. So I gotta believe a lot of characters will be removed. I'm thinking that there's going to be a lot of expy's that aren't as intresting as the original characters.

Prettty sure the Escapist group was already on top of this story, but I'll say what I siad there. I'm not really excited for it. It was made because fans petitioned for it, and when fans petition for a game, its never good. the story is over and the creators even realized that when they made Sophitia's son the new character and put it 17 years in the future, but yet they still feel like having seigfried around.
So that more then likely means we're going to see alot of the same olds (like taki, Mitsurugi, Voldo, etc), and not many new characters, whch the series is desperately going to need.
ther then that... id ont know. I'll buy it in the end just cause I like it as a fighting game, and I like the create your own character. and if it has a tales of the soul thing like SC III did (cause SC II was rather weak in story comparison, and feel so contrained), then all the better.
Though I really hope this IS the last Soul Cal, cause you can tell the quality's going to go down hill quick.

Considering many characters like Astaroth and Yunsung started out as Rock and Hwang expys respectively, I wouldn't hold my breath for it.Ladette said:
Edit: Maybe we'll get Taki and Ivy's magically induced daughter who'll wield whip daggers. =p
Make it smoother.
Remove all the stupid stats shit in the single player campaign.
Be a developer that actually makes he button combo relate to the freaking controller. For example MVC3 instead of moves being listed with a B button, it was listed with a K button. This is so bloody annoying and all fighting games developers do it.
Bring back chronicle of the sword mode
Make the online better
Get rid of the stupid soul moves, they are difficult to pull off, even harder to actually get and are just not that useful.
Might buy it then, until then MVC3 for me

2. What the hell!? The character creation in 3 was awful. The colour pallete was horrible. It was nigh impossible to make a black person. Everybody had the same build, the customizations were a joke and to tell you the truth the whole thing did nothing but detract from what NAMDAI really should have been focusing on. Character balancing, original characters (I'd argue Zas and Tira where the last good ones) and general gameplay.
3. Agreed.
4. I dunno... it kinda stunk.
5. Agreed.
To add a 6th: Please fix online netcode.
I hear that Ivy's boobs are going to be playable characters in their own right, with an intriguing 2-player coop modeScarim Coral said:
About number 2. 3's was the best while 4's was very limited. Why not combine both 3's and 4's character creation.0thello said:
About your 6th...yes
