With the confirmation that Soulcalibur V supports downloadable characters, a whole new realm of potential fighters becomes available. Here are the characters IGN's Soulcalibur core would love to see...
Soulcalibur official Twitter: "Valiant Warriors - Soul Calibur V is taking its final curtain call on the stage of history and will be sunset on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on June 19, 2023. The base game and all associated DLC will no longer be available for purchase. Thank you for your continued support."
This is why guest characters shouldn't be on the base roster. Im sure Ezio and the whole Assassin's Creed stuff license expired and that is why it is being removed. The same thing is probably going to happen to Soul Calibur 6 in 10 years.
Bandai Namco's other premier fighting game series, Soulcalibur, has been around for over 25 years, but what game is the best?
Really loved Soulcalibur on Dreamcast. Truly blew all competition away back then when it came to graphics and fluidity, and I liked the roster and arenas.
Haven’t bothered with the newest release because sadly fighting games these days have become too expensive. They’ll release a base-game, then add all the interesting characters through expensive season passes, so unless there’s a Complete Edition released (and if I’m still interested in the game by then), I’m better off just shrugging my shoulders and skipping it completely.
The direction the fighting game genre has picked for itself means it will now only appeal and sell to the hardcore fans of the genre, while the mainstream gamers will spend their money elsewhere.
I prefer SC VI to the SC III. SC II had a really fast pace for a fighting game, when new SC III bursted into the scene it felt sluggish when compared to the second one. On SC VI they brought back the quicker pace of the game, but not as much on SC II, though I think it was a good decision. I wish they would go the MK11 route with their games, but we all know that Bandai Namco is not interested, they hardly gave the devs time and money to support SC VI.
KeenGamer: ''Fighting games have had a long history of wild and iconic characters. But for every Scorpion and Chun-Li, there are groups of Bo Rai Cho's and Lizardmen. This list takes a look at five of the worst fighting game characters to ever exist."
something dead wrong about this list.
Bayonetta - No, great game, but she does not fit into Soul Calibur
Kratos - He fits, but Dart would fit more from Sony
Elite - NO, this makes no sense at all. Get... Something else from MS... Like a Fable Hero or something...
Darth Maul - NO... GOD NO! No more Star Wars in my SC
Neytiri - No... First there are some... Size issues, that race way like... 12ft tall. And second... It's just a stupid idea since they had no real fighting style.
IGN, I am sorry for giving you another hit, I did not realize it was your site.
Sophitia is pretty much Elysium . But yeah the rest of the old cast can easily return as a dlc skin and moveset scam .
The rest of their list is ridiculous as far as guest go , but then again it's IGN . They barely know anything about soul calibur and fighting games already .
These guys have been paying no attention: after all the hate towards the Star Wars guests (although I personally enjoyed using Vader), they want Project Soul to included Darth Maul and the chick from avatar?
Raiden, motherfuckers!
Raiden should be in this game.
Oh well, you can probably create an accurate version in the custom creator anyway.
