Taki's Replacement Revealed?!

Okay. We've had Taki in every single game of the franchise, and she's always had a very important role in the story... until SCIV. Let's face it, almost every single character in the series was designed to be in one single game. They either have their revenge, complete their mission or live happily married after ever. Whatever they do next to keep them fighting is just stupid. Just look at Astaroth, Maxi or even Taki. They had great stories back in the days when they were created, but in later games they were basically just fillers story-wise. I think that's the reason why we got a 17 year jump.

But getting to the point of replacing Taki is just too risky. She's a fan favorite, in few words, she's the Chun-Li of the series (I think someone said this in other thread already). But hey, this ain't Street Fighter; in this series people actually age (just look at Siegfried). And a 40 something year old woman is not as agile as a ninja, even being a ninja. And they also look way less attractive, and SC is a lot about attractive females.

Besides, this was more than to be expected. We got one of the most important characters replaced -Sophitia- and people weren't crying like babies like they're now. In fact, she was basically replaced in SC2, but for some reason they decided to bring her back as an extra in the console version. Ok, I know it's different, since Pyrrha looks just like a young, scared sophie. But this character could even turn out to just be Taki, who with some Soul Edge-ish magic turned younger/blonde, we don't even know her name, who she is or how she got in the story.

My point is that people are hating without even knowing who she is.

-Now- The chances of the other character being a veteran are way much higher now -that's if they keep their 'one new one old' revealing formmat- but I actually expected the female to be the returning one. Who might he be? He's not Raphael for sure, since he holds his sword with his left hand. Zasalamel? IDK, he has hair, that would just be weird. Aeon Calcos? Hell no! It would just make no sense.
 
Precision and tactfulness were always a part of Taki's character and style, so i'm upset at the moment to see that her replacement is a flamboyant lindsey lohan
 
True,people are hating her without knowing who she is.BUT THE REAL REASON IS BECAUSE she's Taki's replacement "unless they have their own reasons",as PB-Adamas said,it really is an epic fail..C'mmon?!How misguided can Namaco be?!?!removing Taki???Taki haters might enjoy this new char...that's just sad.
