I'm pretty sure the roster still has slots remaining.
Soul Calibur 5
-
-
Naw the roster is done and talim aint in the game.
-
Then who is between…
[hide]Kilik and Ghost Sophitia[/hide]
-
! The last four characters made me think Namco forced Project Soul to rush badly. I mean, Patroklos with Soul Calibur isn't needed, as they still have the multiple weapons, right? And there's that issue with now being a Setsuka clone of all things. Evil Killik and Elsyium/Resurrected Sophitia make this game have not one, not even two, but THREE god damn "ditto fighters". Pyrra with Soul Edge is somewhat understandable, but she plays like Sophitia, which I thought Patrokols already did.
! Very dissappointing, but at least the blame is not fully on them. -
[hide]So then, not only will Talim, Yun Seong (who I do like), Setsuka, Zasalmel, Cassandra, and Rock not be in the game, but Seong Mina, a character who has been with the series since Soul Blade, will not be in the game either?
Wow. I'm sure Project Soul isn't to blame like people are saying, but still, that is some uber bullshit. Above all, I don't understand how Mina isn't coming back. Lizardman (who I do like), Yoshimitsu (favorite Tekken character), and THREE fucking mimic characters get in…...but not Mina. Seriously. What the fuck. Does Namco seriously have that much issue putting any woman in the game who is and looks older than 32?[/hide]
-
! Mina has always been a favourite mine. I guess Namco sure has a problem because it keeps repeating over and over(Michelle, Jun, Taki, Kuministu, Cyogenic Nina and Anna). Its hilarious that the DOA series is stucked in the same year since the 90's.
-
I was really excited for SCV, but that was before I knew the roster was going to be THIS AWFUL. I mean, seriously. This is too disappointing!
And damnit, why does the Street Fighter x Tekken roster look so appealing?! (Elena, Juri, Ibuki, Guy & Cody, POISON, ROLENTO, I mean, WTF)
maaaaaaan…

Some like Zazalamel (who is immortal) and Rock (Who should have been succeeded by Bangoo) don't have any excuse, but I'll waive Yun-Seong and Mi Na from not being in. The whole idea of them + Hwang from Soul Edge to SCIV was Japan was invading and they needed Soul Edge, but since the invasion was now over, I guess they didn't need it anymore and don't care. That said,
! At least the should have Mi Na's moveset assigned to Xiba or Killik
Oh yeah, and isn't Hilde in her 30's in this game? Still, it is dissappointing.

Zasalmel has varying popularity, so I'm not entirely shocked about him.
Setsuka, I have no idea how she didn't get in besides her age.
Rock has always seemed awkwardly placed in, so maybe I can see him.
Yun Seong, while having plenty of haters, has some value due to having something along the lines of Hwang's moveset.
Talim has a vast, VAST fanbase, so I have no idea how she didn't get in.
Seong Mina was one of the title characters of the entire series and was about as valued as both Sophitia and Taki, as she was one of the three female veterans.Look, I don't need the character back. I'm fine with the characters having a successor. Bangoo would have been awesome.
Hilde is now 35, which I believe is the oldest a female character has ever been in a Namco fighting game.
Also, about Mina's moveset being on…
[hide]Xiba or Kilik. Xiba completely has Kilik's moveset. Kilik is a mimic character who randomly takes on the moveset of any of the male characters in the game, much like Elysium who takes on female mimics. [/hide]If anything, they might include all of their movesets for Character Creation. ….If we're lucky.
This is supposed to be the roster, but...
[hide]I'm still seeing two slots left open. The bottom row has: Patroklos wielding the Soul Calibur (having Setsuka's moveset), Elysium (mimics female characters), Edge Master (mimics everyone), ???, Kilik (mimics male characters), and Pyrrha wielding Soul Edge (having Sophitia's moveset, which she apparently didn't have before).
I know there are two blank slots, however, Algol hasn't been placed on the board yet. Also, Katsuhiro Harada (the producer of Tekken and Soul Calibur) has been confirmed as a 'bonus character' that will have Devil Jin's moveset, so he may or may not take up the last slot.
If Harada doesn't take up that last slot, then maybe that last slot is our last character.[/hide]
-
Here's what I think.
They are purposely dumbing down the game.
Why?
The Capcom route.
-
It's fucking stupid.
! Three mimic characters, two alternate version characters, one of which inexplicably has another character's moveset (Setsuka), the other of which belongs to someone whose fighting style inspired hers (Sophitia)– and Algol.
And if they were going to include Kilik (as a mimic character), and Elysium (Not!Sophitia, also a mimic character), why have characters that are basically Kilik (Xiba) and one that is almost exactly Sophitia (Omega Pyrrha)?!
Pretty much, what the fuck? -

Kilik is a mimic character who randomly takes on the moveset of any of the male characters in the game, much like Elysium who takes on female mimics. [/hide]No no, I said it she or a successor didn't get in, it should have been on one of them. And it's true ever since Astaroth took his spot under him, that Rock was damaged goods, but a new game, new characters, his successor didn't have that and could have been something.
And I think for Talim, one of the hooks was the whole young girl/innocence thing. Being about 28 or so might have muddied that. Of course, a niece or somehting taking up the Tonfas wouldn't ave been so bad, but whatever.
-
Insider you forgot about Dampiere. He is DLC and most likely take the slot next to Voldo.
Also I just got the game. Small cast but fucking loving the new characters <3 Viola why are you so GDLK <3 Dressed up as a cowgirl swinging a flaming skull lol

Rock has power due to the fact that he was in Soul Blade, but I can understand why he won't return. Talim being 28…I don't know. It could still work, but I don't care either way.
Mina, I honestly think she could get in, successor or not. I'm pretty upset that Mina and Yun didn't get in. My only hope though is that they don't include the characters, but instead, include their 'Soul' moveset for Create a Character.

I like Dampiere, but that would suck. They could easily include him in the CaC select or something like that, but leaving a slot empty for someone to buy a character? That's annoying. They did that in SCIV with Vader/Yoda, and it was annoying.
I swear, I am so OCD with character select menus… Though, this is far from MvC3 character select issues.
-
Eh, me myself, I never really liked either of them, but would take them and two others over the last four characters.
-
Yun and Mina are my secondary mains.
Yeah, my two mains (Ivy and Taki/Natsu) are already in, but it still sucks.
-
After all the hype I got… Now I'm not interested anymore... Dunno why. Maybe cuz 3 mimic characters are a joke after all... Same for Alpha and Omega...
or cuz I found my love for KOF resrurected with XIII
-
No matter what, Create a Soul is the whole reason I want to play the game. If the souls of the missing characters are usable, I'll have little reason to bitch.
-
Still I see no reason to replace Talim, Zasalamel, Yun, Seong and Rock with 3 mimic characeters (Why Kilik for gods sake?) and 2 "evil" characters ala SF. 1 of them even copy the awesome Setsuka. They had a story after all -.-
This + the 2 new main characters are completely unappealing for me… BTW I watched the story already and geez it was a pain in the ass. Even if I don't care for the story in fighting games, but here it would be better to leave it out completely.
-
From what I've gathered…
story spoilers
[hide]
-Kilik has gone insane and has let the evil hiding deep inside him corrupt him. Because of this, he has left Xianghua. Xianghua has married a general, however, Leixia is actually Kilik's daughter. Leixia finds her father's amulet, forcing her to take over Kilik's role. Xianghua freaks out and tries to protect her from this fate, but ultimately to no avail.
-Kilik now serves Soul Edge and is 100% evil.
-I THINK Elysium is supposed to either be a false image of Sophitia meant to fool Pyrrha, or is Sophitia herself trying to save her children.
-Pyrrha's second form is her wielding Soul Edge. I actually defend this character usage, because unlike her brother's second form…. Well, let's just say "DARK PYRRHA RISES!" However, they should have made her the final boss, if that's the case.I have no idea why Patrokros has to wield Soul Calibur differently, or why Algol is even here.[/hide]
-
Well I could spoil more but won't. But some very small mistakes are in your list. Just enjoy it on your own, when you get it.
Maybe I will rent it later on
-
Liking the game so far, Combat seems tight and doing the supers arent that hard at all.
-
Any videos of
! Elysium in play yet?

But what do you want to see about a mimic character?
-
How she looks in motion? How well the modellers got the 3d model to the artwork shown on the previous page? How her tits flop about? Take your pick.

Well her stance is depending on who she is using… After her armor is brokens he looks like a slut.
Now I'm finished with the story mode..: And seriously... They should have done no story mode... Would be still better than this shit. I hate Patroklos and his whiny Emo sister.
Worst thing is... After all the story does not give anything about the other characters... Just maybe ZWEI
-
The Devil Jin move set is just so broken.
I made a She-Hulk with it. She's my new main.
Gonna post my CAS later today. Don't know who else to make lol
-
I'm probably going to use CaS for my mains, but then have some fun.
By the way, how do you unlock CaS items? Gold?
-
By leveling up. Basically replay Arcade and other modes in the game unlocks new items.
-
That she-hulk looks awesome!!!

Ezio is pretty cool
So far my faves are Ezio and Tira -

My thoughts exactly. I mean really, outside of the awesome online play, this is by far the emptiest Soul game that I have ever played. No team battle, no arcade endings, hell there's not even a freaking gallery mode. And the Character creation mode is above decent at best, but nothing special though.
-
Super Soul Caliabur 5 release in 2 months.
or maybe a bunch of DLC with features that should have been there.
-
I am gonna check out the story mode to see how good or bad it is.
-
Why isn't there an option for unlimited time in vs matches?
-
The story was not as bad as I expected.
Here goes my pros and consSPOILER ALERT
- I really liked the narrative style with artworks.
- I really enjoyed the most side characters like Zwei.
- To my surprised, I really liked Xiba (I think they made him look like Luffy). I really liked the Maxi team.
- The English voice acting was decent.
- It actually seems to be over may be not.
- As Kishido said, Pyrra and Patrokos were so annoying, obnoxious, and overdramatic
- No Mitsurugi ???!!!!!!!!!
- No Taki ?????!!!!!!
- Not enough team Maxi. They should have been the main characters
- Not enough Siegried.
- They don't really tell us if Kilik and Xianghua got horizontal.
- I am pretty sure its not over cause Namco needs sequels(money).
+/- Sophitia in a sexy outfit but from Patrokos's imagination ?????!!!!!!!!
-
Taki wasn't in the game at all, so I don't know what you were expecting. Mitsurugi not being in the Story Mode is bad, though.
That said, I think the ideas they have are a step in the right direction, but it's not quite there yet.
-
I should have said. I wanted Taki to have a sensei role in the story mode a bit like Ivy.
A fight against Mitsurugi would have been awesome, I so wanted to see artworks of him in action.
The story was not that bad at all to be honest. To my surprise, I actually think the Story mode was better than MK9's. MK's story sorta went downhill when
! almost everyone gets killed and how Raiden was trolling us. The story should have sticked with Lui Kang, Cage, Sonya and Raiden.
-
As much as she was a bitch in SCIV, since the whole crux of Natsu's tory was she was on a mission, and good enough to keep going, I would have liked Taki in. Natsu was good enough, but they could have always given her something else ninja-y like a Kusarigama if both would be in. Oh well.
-
Played a little of this last night. Really fun. Mostly used Omega Pyrrha and enjoyed that. Wish she had a few of the variations of the kicks that Cassandra had and that the recognition of the Demon Step motion went smoother, though.

Not to go off topic but your suggestion pretty much equates to the first MK Movie that and that and developers wanted to turn status quo on it's ear.

At least MK9 paid attention to other characters.
[hide]The mass murder pissed me off (they killed my love D=), but it was never boring. Save for Kitana and Mileena, everything before Nightwolf's chapter was awesome (to be fair, Nightwolf was awesome too, though).[/hide]
-
I just got this on Saturday. It's been awhile since I've played Soul Calibur, but I'm getting the hang of it. Kilik was my favorite character, so naturally Xiba is my main. Though I've been sampling a few more characters here and there. I'm also surprised that I'm having a lot of fun with the character creation. Most of the ones I've created are based off of other characters: Luffy, Zoro, Guts, Kushana from Nausicaa, and the third Doctor.

A friend lent me his copy so I've been goin to town on the create a character

Taken with my crappy phone camera.

Holy shit, nice Hexadecimal there!

Best part: she's got Viola's moveset ^_^
