That's assuming Siegfreid will be alt or an echo fighter which he might be but he also might not beBasing Nightmare off his SC2 look makes sense: it's iconic, a lot of fans associate it with him since 2 introduced the series to a wider audience, and it's not as busy as his later designs
The bigger issue would be how hard they lean into the dark magic he starts tossing out in recent games, hard to see Siegfried doing that
and his trailer would absolutely feature Link. Make it the inverse of the Hero trailer, Nightmare tearing down all the good-guy swordsmen

True but man i hope so...that would be really neatRight, I was saying if they went the alt route, SC2's design would make that the easiest since... Siegfried already was an alt in that game, haha
could honestly see an Echo too, get the series' main villain and hero with Siegfried getting more light and ice effects. Doubt they'd go that far for DLC tho
give me Spooky instead; so he can summon ghosts for his moves
anything to have Pac-Man content be beyond the arcade era
that's why you go with the dude on the logoSoulcalibur doesn't really feel like it has a main character anymore.
That's boring, though.
talim topped that poll because she missed SCV, it's not worth considering for the series outside of that specific contextI dunno why people say Nightmare is the only choice for SC.... well okay I get that he is the mascot but Talim is definitely the most popular SC character and it's not even a contest. I might sound silly since none of my most wanted are crazy popular but I do think Talim WOULD have a shot somewhere if a SC character was considered. And Talim despite being absent for a full game in SCV still won the popularity poll.
"Anymore". Remember when Mitsurugi was dead center on a poster of Soul Edge?Soulcalibur doesn't really feel like it has a main character anymore.

Just gimme Edge of Soul for the cheese and I'd be fine with most anything
...probably not talim tho I guess

I swear I've seen an official timeline summarizing the events of the series and Mitsurugi isn't even on it because he doesn't really do anything.I've never seen a stronger argument against defaulting to the main character for a fighting game rep than Mitsurugi.

I'm pretty sure she won that poll exactly because she wasn't in V and had no replacement, so getting her back was the top priority for the fanbase. She didn't seem that popular during the previous games.

Honestly Sieg/Nightmare feel more like the main protagionsts of Soul Calibur more so then anyone else. Maybe Sophita but even then i would still go with Sieg.
Mitsurugi's story is only tangential to the entire storyline about Soul Edge. I think he's mostly there at this point to annoy the shit out of Taki.I swear I've seen an official timeline summarizing the events of the series and Mitsurugi isn't even on it because he doesn't really do anything.
I never said she wasn't popular, just that she wasn't that popular. And the other missing characters generally had gameplay replacements. There was a huge commotion around Talim at the time because her entire weapon type was just completely eliminated. The poll's numbers also weren't even that big. Talim won with 862 votes.No, she was always popular. And also she eclipsed even other veterans that didn't return in V by a huge mile.

shockingly people dont like egregiously unlikeable fartmasters that exist at the expense of numerous female charactersThey tried to address this with SCV but nobody liked Patrolkos
I only got into Soul Calibur because SC2 had Link and so did you.

Cos she was on the cover of the GameCube version (it was interesting that each version focused on different characters, further suggesting there's really not a "main" character), I always saw Cassandra as one of the main protagonists of SC2. Her home stage is even home to the LoZ Easter Egg where selecting Link and playing on this stage will change the BGM to a LoZ Them arrangement.
But then you have Xianghua, who the story says defeated Soul Edge and her default weapon looks like the Soul Calibur.
But if I were to go with the character I played the most as I'd have to root for Seong Mi-na.
Edge of Soul in Smash would be awesome.Just gimme Edge of Soul for the cheese and I'd be fine with most anything
...probably not talim tho I guess
Completely true. Soul Blade, though, that I was already a fan of.I only got into Soul Calibur because SC2 had Link and so did you.
?!?!? She is the most popular SC character and it's not a contest? That'd be like saying Sakura is the most popular SF character because she won a popularity poll, even though Ryu is obviously more popular.I dunno why people say Nightmare is the only choice for SC.... well okay I get that he is the mascot but Talim is definitely the most popular SC character and it's not even a contest.

I'm slowly giving hope for a Bamco fighter in general... this is our future:
add Lloyd coming back, maybe Chosen Undead and KOS-MOS somehow made into costumes too and that's it
Patroklos also got a story mode where the player is forced to kill random people several times while Patroklos foolishly believes they're monsters. The game doesn't even try to sell him as edgy or cool, but just a fool. His standard in-game battle quotes also were based on this early story. They just seemed to assume people would instantly jump on board him, rather than attempting to make him likeable at all. Obviously, you also have Patroklos Omega, but by that point they pushed him too far to suddenly make him an hero.shockingly people dont like egregiously unlikeable fartmasters that exist at the expense of numerous female characters
The whole single player was badly planned anyway. They wouldn't have needed a big budget to do something like the Weapon Master or Libra of Soul modes, but it's clear the people behind SCV just didn't get the appeal of Soulcalibur's single player modes.They couldn't fit like 95% of SCV's planned story into the game because the dev team had a shoestring budget and a shortened dev window.
