You can't compare the two 'til we see what Hoshino does with Soulcalibur 6. Those are two spinoffs, not main games. Daishi made a half-baked competitive game.
I'm not sure we could say these are real "games", rather assets "randomly mixed on a support" xD
If SC6 is supposed to be created, and if Hoshino is in charge, he'd better listen to the community... And indeed, Daishi's job was bad because he was obsessed with Patroklos and the competitive aspect of the game (ok, and because it was rushed). Hopefully brighter days are at hand...
No, fuck the casuals who make up 95% of the fandom! Let's have another half-arsed competitive fighting game with 3, no let's make 6 mimics this time!! hooray!!! Fuck off.
They also said an announcement was coming soon like what, a year ago? Don't think the Facebook group that is run by Namco Bandai EU has a lot of weight on a project ran in Namco Bandai JP
