Soul Calibur 5

[Orbot_Vectorman]

Alirhgt, I know my last toppic was a dud, but I have a new one. The question is: If you were to choose the next 3 special characters for Soul Calibur 5 whom would they be? Whom would be on the Playstation version? Whome would be on the X-Box version? And, Whom would be on both?

My answer would be

Sports figures

Wayne Gretsky: PS
Mike Piatza: XB
KC Jhones (TMNT): Both

 

[JRCB]

Ghandi for both.
The Rabbit from The Holy Grail in both.
And The Stig.

 

[Rascarin]

None. I thought the Star Wars characters in SC IV killed the game. I'd rather have no guest characters, and instead have them focus on actually making it a good game like SC III was.

My feelings down to a T. The Star Wars characters truly messed the games balance up. No guest characters for me!

 

[Orbot_Vectorman]

So I take it, no one would put guest characters into SC VI

 

[Ph33nix]

The Rabbit from The Holy Grail in both.
And The Stig.

curse you, you ninja'd me like the bunnie got that guy

 

[sirdanrhodes]

Hitler (from Wolfenstein)
A giant killer ant (PRAISE OUR ANT OVER LORDS!)
Duke Nukem (because you'd never get to finish your game waiting).

 

[Vlane]

PS3: Dante
X-Box: Marcus Fenix
Both: Raziel (from Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver)

 

[A Weary Exile]

Someone will undoubtedly say Chuck Norris.

Steven Hawkings (X-Box)
Hellen Keller (PS3)
Ray Charles (Both)

That would be many hours of fun!

 

[GodofMadness]

While I Agree that Yoda is cheap. Little bloody green bastards. I think that assuming that they dont make a entire combat mechanic for them, and that they have some reason for being there, And put some effort into them, Than a Guest Character might be good. MIGHT...

I'd do the special characters thing they did from SC2. I liked how they had special characters from each console. It worked better than the bullshit Star Wars thing.

PS3 -Dante/Nero
Xbox -(Can't honestly think of someone for XB)
Both -Ryu from Ninja Gaiden

Also, I'd like them to have better customization. All you could do was make different costumes for already existing characters.

 

[KAPTAINmORGANnWo4life]

Link, back again on the Wii. Maybe with Old and Young/Cartoony versions.

Master Chief (2 versions: Hammer and Light-saber)

Kratos, back again on the PS3 (2 versions: his 2 swords and the one sword he used to stab Ares with, I don't know their names, I never played God of War)


They are the most well-known and appropriate (Chief is a stretch, but so was Heihachi Mishima) characters available.



If they had one for all-three, I'd say The Overlord, just because he's awesome. I can't really think of one better than him, though.

I say go all fucking out and get the most iconic characters from both consoles
Xbox- Master Chief
PS3- Solid Snake
Both- Dante would be pretty badass.

As long as they aren't game breaking Like yoda or the apprentice I really don't care who the fuck they put it. It's not like I play soulcalibur for the story. I will say I really liked 3's RTS RPG type strategy game thing though, but that's just because it felt more personal and interactive than "you are this dildo, you want to kill this dildo" and then when you do dildo #2's campaign it's the exact same thing but reversed.

Yeah I played SC3, and loved it. It had two things wrong, wonky AI with no difficulty control, and no way to make a character with skin close to the color of brown.

SC4 gutted all the GREAT things about SC3 and gave us Darth freakin' Vader. *rolls eyes*

I agree with those. For the both, I'd go with Rick Taylor from Splatterhouse. It's a namco-own game and there's supposed to be a new one coming out soon, so it would be a fun crossover.
If another SC is made, I think the create-a-character mode should include the fighting styles (some nerfed a bit) of the bonus characters from the previous games (without using the names, to avoid copyright). I so wanted to use Yoda's fighting style to create a character of one of my uni mates!

 

[NeutralDrow]

Well, we already have Kratos, so why not bring in Dante from Devil May Cry and Gene from God Hand?

None. I thought the Star Wars characters in SC IV killed the game. I'd rather have no guest characters, and instead have them focus on actually making it a good game like SC III was.

3? Seriously? That one had the most broken AI, frustrating sidequests (and no-warning quicktime events), and boring story modes in the series.

Bring back SC II, I say! As long as they let me keep Amy. And Link, because he was genuinely awesome.

Spoiler: Besides...

 

[bcponpcp27]

Um, for actual characters that might work?

Lemme think

Dante

Kratos

Viewtiful Joe (for the lolz!)

 

[Space Spoons]

Cloud Strife (Buster Sword) for PS3.

Travis Touchdown (Beam Katana) for Wii.

Spartan (Energy Sword/Gravity Hammer) for Xbox 360.

Of course, that's assuming we'll ever go back to the "console exclusive characters" model, which doesn't seem all that likely.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I can't think of characters I'd like exclusively for a console (mainly because the concept of console-exclusive characters rubs me the wrong way), but I'd love to see Dante, Ryu Hayabusa (though I doubt Team Ninja would let that happen), and the Sands of Time version of the Prince of Persia as playable characters.

 

[Kimarous]

Anyone up for Eddie Riggs (Brutal Legend)?
