Yeah, I wouldn't mind being able to level up weapon styles or even characters and having them have stat increases. But tying it into clothing is just dumb.

[Fey]

oooooooo, yes, I love alllllllll the games of this series, and own all but 4 since I do not yet have a system to play it on! Doesn't mean I've not played it, just don't own it LOL

Fav characters go by the game so:
Soul Blade: Taki, ninja chick for the win!
Soul Calibur 2: Ivy, OMG I still want her mock pirate outfit!
Soul Calibur 3: Aaaaaaaaaamy, pretty pretty loli will put the hurt on you!!
Soul Calibur 4: Hmm, toss up...I always love Raphael as a good secondary for any game, but this time I can be yoda AND Darth Vader...
Soul Calibur 5: CANNOT WAIT TO FIND OUT!!

As to sigfrieds connection ot nightmare, nightmare is the 'evil' that sigrieds soul created when he was possessed by the sword, so yeah, super connected.

I'm a fighting game NUT so really, I love this game for the fact that it's old school, great combos, great taunts, and faaaaaaaabulous designs! When they introduced Creat-a-Soul...well...then it just got perfect :)

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I wonder if they're going to bring back a random character in 5. They didn't have one in 4 for some reason. Then again, I never really saw the appeal, given that there's a random button anyway.

[Fey]

really? I never noticed that they took that away, but I usually go right for my created character or raphael when I convince friends to play it

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Maybe that's why they took it out. Who wants to play as some faceless, random mook like Charade? Not when there are custom characters to use, especially.

And about Raphael, did you get a feel for how much he changed on 4? I used to love playing as him, but he just felt so different, I couldn't get into his new moveset at all. Amy, now... that's where it's at. Used to destroy people online with her.

[Fey]

Okay, funnily enough I found raphael easier to use, but some of his moves reverted to his soul blade ones, which I knew better than the 'new' moves of 2 and 3. Amy, yeah, I can kill eeeeeeeveryone with her.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

She's just so fast. And stabby! Stabby stabby stabby! :D

[Fey]

but daddy taught her to be sooooooo stabby, he's a good daddy for that LOL
though, I do have to say...wtf amy is up with that outfit, seriously, wtf

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Yeah, Amy's outfit tends to be the subject of much discussion on the fansites...

*sigh*

[Fey]

I loved her outfit in 3, made perfect sense...but then...the fur...and the bad corset..and the combat boots...its like every bad hot topic moment rolled into one.

Maybe you can cosplay as Ivy in her mock pirate outfit from SC2

[Fey]

one day, ooooooone day. for now I am content with my SC3 Amy costume :D

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Here is the most recent trailer, showing all the new characters. I like Zwei (the guy with the one-handed sword about halfway through). There's speculation that he's a werewolf.

And... it is... so... lovely to see that Ivy maintains here time-honored tradition of not wearing pants. :|

[Fey]

OMFG
I want to be a size four NOWWW!!!
Ivy's otufit has a MINI jacket!!! I'm a huuuuuuuuge sucker for them!
O.O

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Yes, she's wearing approximately 400% more clothing than she did in SC4. /facepalm.

Ivy was best when she had that pirate costume you mentioned above. I don't really see how the way she dresses fits her character, given she's like... a celibate hermit or something, isn't she?

[Fey]

er, well...I think they're more matching her weapon, a 'whip' sword and all...and besides, they could only milk Taki's painted on ninja suit for so long before they needed something skimpier.
but yes, this and Ivys pirate outfit are now my favourites...though I did like her SC2 alternate as well. Can't wait to see everyone else's looks!
