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.

Hell yeah, you are right. 10 years ago, the story of SoulCalibur was amazing.

No stupid tournament story... But a tale of souls and swords... Eternally retold. I really believed in those words back then... But it became so boring and unsatisfying after the years... Oh my.

And about the " are 40 years old women still fit and sexy enough" question, i shall leave this here:


I think this world is way to much focused on young and sexy bodies... But oh well.
 
All I hope is that she actually uses BOTH of her blades, even in the simplest of combinations like AA or BB. I mean, what's the point of havin' two blades, when you only use one 3/4s of the time [I'm lookin' at you, Taki]? If she does, she might be the one to quench my "Duo Katana user" thirst, in this iteration [assumin an actual duo katana user that's not a clone of a fully established character, still won't show up in the series [I'm galrin' at you, Shura]].
