On second thought, just add a couple new original fighters. There are tons of weapons that aren't firearms out there. Figure out some styles and don't add bullcrap guest fighters.
SC V Get Star Wars out and bring in...

They honestly just need to stop with all the guest characters that have nothing to do with Soul Calibur. I like what SC3 did having only original new characters.
That being said, i do have one wish which is that from here out, they keep the movelists from guests available in future games as CAS or something. For example, i'm getting somewhat attached to the Aprentice knowing damn well that his future is non-existent. This sucks, but they could easily replace the lightsabers with regular swords(including sound effects), and the problem would be solved. Then they wouldn't have to worry about licensing issues with Lucas Arts, or scrap the work already done and keep fans happy that enjoyed playing Starwars characters(for the most part). Not holding my breath on this one obviously though, it'll be too much of a nice gesture from them.
One thing i've noticed about guest characters is that they have to fullfill specific criteria in order to be considered.
A. It has to be currently popular, arguably moreso than SC. They want the guest characters to help SC's game sales, not so much the other way around.
B. It has to wield a weapon of some sort to fit the theme of a weapon-style fighting game. They made an exception with Heihachi probably because he was an easy choice with most of the work already done.
C. They have to be able to make a decent move list out of the character that makes sense. Which means a large amount of close range attacks, with maybe a few long range attacks.
From my observation, this appears to be what they look for in possible guest characters.

Master Chief could use an Energy Sword as his primary weapon, and it's not as if Cervantes doesn't have a gun anyway.

Dynasty Warriors fits all of the criteria above and make no mistake, the warriors series is immensely popular in Japan so there won't be a problem with popularity, weapons, or movelists. So yeah, anyone up for some Dynasty Calibur? ^_^
