I disagree with Aris on a lot of things but when it comes to Soul Calibur & Tekken i tend trust him. The guy has been in the competitive SC scene for a long time and was a world champion in SC2. Yeah what would that scrub know about Soul Calibur.

Anyone who shills for Tekken that hard is not to be trusted. That series has gone precipitously downhill since Tekken 3. Most overrated FG in existence.

I'll wait in Bandai Namco to comment on the matter regarding those concerns. It's been a couple of years so I'm sure they've been taking feedback into heart.

WE GET MORE NEWS! RIGHTEOUS ;)

Thank god lol! I really hope it more like SC2. Besides MK and KI, SC2 was the 3rd video game I really took seriously at a casual point. I will never forget the day 6 of my friends use to play this on the original xbox and always try to be better and beat each other at his place. Hours of non stop playing along with the Original Halo.

When I went back and tried to play the series on PS3, it wasn't the same. That's why I hope this version plays like the originals.

I thought like from the Playstation version of SC2, Heihachi was pretty cool. Not to knock on NRS, I actually like how Bandai Namco pick characters like Geese and Akuma from other fighters.

I would really love if they added Dante and Vergil from the DMC world as I think they would fit right in that story.

Besides Heihachi They usually go for more interesting guest characters that aren't from fighting games but more adventure style.

In the past we've had:
Link
Spawn
Heihachi
Lloyd Irving
Kratos
Darth Vader
Yoda
The apprentice
Ezio
KOS-MOS (pseudo-guest)
Devil Jin (pseudo-guest)

Based off this list and recent trends in games, If i had to guess who the next guest character is, It's going to be Geralt from The Witcher.

From what I heard Yoda was broken to hell.

They usually go with a theme of what's the hottest game or genre at the time being. They said the game is already 70% done, so they already have a guest/guests lined up. Im not too familiar with other genre of games popping during this year other than Overwatch, Final Fantasy, Persona 5, aaaaaand thats it!

Well if you think low profiling was a problem in Injustice then you should have seen Yoda in SC4, you couldn't even grab the guy.

But that being said he wasn't broken in the normal sense, he was probably the weakest character in the game, and banned in tournaments just cause he was wonky.

You know what's funny? You suggested Geralt from the Witcher, that's not a fighting game character, but it is still a WB character just like MK and IJ characters.

Most of the characters in that list aren't fighting game characters.
Geralt and the Witcher are from an old series of novels that originated in Poland the games are developed by CD projekt RED and published by them and atari in some cases.

WTF are you on about?

I thought that since the Witcher 3 was distributed by WB that means WB own the rights to the games and they were the actual publishers. Didn't know about the novels though. My bad.

Run counter isn't a big deal in VI becasuse we see you're not locked out of Guard during step which was the problem in V. And the Reverse Rage isn't the same mechanic from V, it's basically just seems to be Guts from anime style games where the last bit of your life bar is actually bigger than it appears.

It'd probably never happen but Senua from Hellblade would be a wild guest character. Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn? William from Nioh?

That would actually be great to have Senua.
I'm a huge fan of Hellblade (it's my personal GOTY) so part of me would love to see Senua but given the care and emotional depth that went into Hellblade, I doubt Ninja Theory would be cool with having her in a goofy fighting game.
