Turn Your Voice Into The New Game.

Im not sure if anyone has said this, but make the AI edge master CP is able to do most combos, hit mostly with safe moves, punish ...etc make them more similar to high level play, so that people like myself who have literally 0 offline opponents can still practice daily with a "worthy" opponent.

It great you want to gets some ideas we have for the game but as lobo said before, take all the information you see as a grain of salt.

People don’t realize the implication when they suggest changing aspects of a character or the games mechanisms. So please don’t take everything you see here to heart.

When Jaxel talked about how moves should consist of 2 properties of 4 choices Range, Powerful, Speed, and Safety, his intent is to balance the game but there are much more factors to consider.

Pushback from block attack; An attack could be a fast long ranged move that is unsafe on paper, but the pushback in the game makes it safe. Moves the that Tech Crouch (Goes under highs), moves that Tech Jump (Jumps over lows), Evasive Moves, Guard Crush Moves, Auto Guard Impact Moves. Moves done on tip range having better properties. These are all thing that affect Moves and either make them weaker or stronger.

There also the Human Reaction factor, even if a move is unsafe on paper, it might be a very fast move, that it become very difficult to react and punish

People here have good intentions, but be careful when you consider these ideas.

If you have ideas on creating new move for character you can discuss them in the Soul Arena, and that would help in the creative process.

Pretty much everyone discussed the aesthetics stuff they would want in SC5

1) Every Character should have all their standards costumes from Soul Blade, SC1, SC2, SC3, and SC4. Also these costumes should be standardized, meaning when I Select a character like Ivy, I will see all her old costumes as default ones. So when an armor piece breaks the wont be in their underwear. Also PLEASE DO NOT LET ANY 1P COSTUMES from any version of Soul Calibur be CUSTOMABLE. 1P out fits are unique to the character theme and idenity and no other character should have that. Also I really don’t want to see a Character like Talim in Ivy’s Dominatrix out fit.

2) Stage from all pervious Soul Calibur title should be in SC5, and the Music that comes with that stage, and maybe just Update Some of the Soul Blade and SC1 Music. Also Stages like the seesaw that are small and dumb should be in Special Verses. One more thing for the character select menu, we should able to any Soul Calibur character select menu music to play in the back ground.

3) The return of the Characters with everyone’s move set. There are 3 of Them Edgemaster, Charade, and Olcadan. All these character SHOULD PLAY THE SAME. NONE OF THESE CHARACTERS SHOULD HAVE SOME ADVANTAGE LIKE 10% BOUNUS DAMAGE OR HAVE EXTRA MOVES. These characters are the same only difference should be aesthetics and nothing else.

4) More Weapons, again this is more aesthetics. In SC4 each character has 7 weapons, I would like that double, so people can customize more. Also give us the ability to edit the colours of the weapons.

This is your product and you should design it, as you like. In the end we will buy SC5.

Now the only thing I really want to discuss or wish for SC5 is for our community to be united.

In SC4 the community as of now is divided, because of a few characters. Algol, Hilde and the Starwars Character have splintered this community. Now I am not going to discuss where these character are broken or not, because that debate is not for this thread (and I ask other member not to bring that debate here).

These characters have caused the most controversy because their differences are very apparent. Soul Calibur is a weapon-based game so when a character like Algol who shots bubbles is introduced it changes the very foundation of the game. This lead people who love Soul Calibur for it weapon-based aspect hate Algol because of this difference. To them Algol does not represent Soul Calibur.

Hilde was just overpowered; the risk reward was to great in her favor. She is a fine addition to SC and a unique character, but she just need to be toned down.

Starwars Character. These character are not overpowered and seem to have a lot of thought put into them, but there reason I bring this up is because they are Starwars Character and NOT Soul Calibur Character. These Starwars character just take away from Soul Calibur, because all it shows is that Soul Calibur need some ploy to be marketable, and that it can’t stand on it own two feet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am in Toronto and our Community is very broken up. I have talked with my own community members asked their opinions on Algol and I firmly believe he is bad for the community. Recently there was a debate in the Toronto Thread about Algol, and it illustrates the division we have about this character.

The American SC4 Scene is dead except in the East Coast and that because they disallowed Algol and Hilde.

The French community is thriving; they are the most active and have the most player. This is because they remove the Controversial Character, Algol, Hilde and Starwars Characters. THIS KEPT THE GAME FUN FOR THEM.

So when you create Soul Calibur 5 please do not put character like Algol, Guest Character or Bonus characters. As in then end this will divide the community and kill off the game.

Please Review the changing done in Broken Destiny. Whether or not this is the direction you want to take Soul Calibur in is up to you, but review they change to see it they are beneficial for Soul Calibur.

1) Damage in Broken Destiny is significantly higher than SC4. The game seems to focus alot on combos.

2) There is less Air Control as more move now have unique properties that limit air control by creating some air stun animation.

3) No Verticals at all track.

4) Everyone has the same step and step is quite large; in SC4 everyone had his or her own unique step.

5) The Amour Purge that was created makes Critical Finish non-existent. Amour Purge input is weird (Down, Down, Down A+B+K). Amour Purge animation look silly. Running forward increase the Soul gauge immensely.

6) Please Review the New Character Dampierre. This character will for sure be another controversial character if he remains the way he is now. He is a character that has many random attacks. If that is the design you want him to have that fine, but please review his tools. He has a half-life combo. He has a random Unblockable attack that can either be very fast or very slow. But if the Fast Unblockable hits it leads to his half-life combo. He also has an infinite if he get you near a wall, but this infinite is random as he will sometime fall down. He also has some ground grab where he has a chance to get 60 plus damage and where you can only get a down kick or down vertical attack if you defend correctly. The risk-reward is heavily sewed in this favor as he has little risk for heavy reward. Please just review this character and balance him if you plan to put him in SC5.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Voice Acting and Dialogue in SC4 was much better compared to other SC version. So please keep maintain that.



Also can you make Nightmare and Cervantes sound bad ass again like they did in SC2. In SC4 Nightmare and Cervantes just sound lame.


Come back to me ...my child -->

Just want to add one more thing. In SC3 people could bring there own custom edit and colour edit to a friend house by using a PS2 memory card. But for SC4 there no way to bring your custom edits to your friend system. Only way to have your custom is to create it yourself.

For SC5 is it possible for you to let user upload maybe just one(not sure if more would be possible) custom edits/colour edits online. That Colour Edit would be associated with that user name. And if you do this you would have to create a new feature that lets put your friend PSN ID, and then it will copy their custom to your system. Just on problem with that is that anyone who know someone PSN can copy or view their custom edit.

In SC4 you have the ranked match leader board. So the player score is upload to that server. So why no have something for people to upload their custom edits.
I don't think this should be hard, because it not you uploading an image, but just the codes for the colour changes.


I know some people have mention usb, this could also be an option. For the usb to work. SC5 would have to give a feature to export the Custom Edit on to usb. And then an import feature to allow you to play using you custom edits.
 
The new SC should include all the modes and that were in SC2 and/or SC3. Also, it would be awesome if there was a story mode just like the one in SC3. In addition to that, another Chronicles of the Sword or Weapon Master mode (either of them) would be great...
As for the characters, there should be no guests, but the old abandoned ones should make a return (Li-Long, Edgemaster, Necrid, Nightterror, Inferno etc). Additionally, all of the canon characters must come back and most importantly, KEEP SIEGFRIED, PLEASE, PLEASE,PLEASE!!!
About the music now... The new soundtracks should be more like the ones in SC2/SC3. If some SC2/SC3 soundtracks would make a return, they will be welcomed (Hellfire, Forsaken Sanctuary, etc).
Concerning Siegfried now (assuming he returns), please don't kill him again... Make him suffer a little bit... I mean that, he should somehow find out that Soul Calibur is as dangerous as Soul Edge (Taki is right)... Ohh... And please, in the end (not in this SC nessecerily) let him find out that the only sin he commited was killing accidentally his father, the rest of the sins were just Soul Edge's against his will... Also a great ending for him would be, the freeing and resurrection of all of the souls inside Soul Edge and maybe the magical resurrection of his father... Last but not least, DO NOT MARRY HIM WITH ANYONE, NEVER. He is better alone... So, please forget about SCBD's Sarya (or whatever her name)... PLZ, PLZ, PLZ, PLZ, PLZ.
As for the moves and stuff, I'm not an expert so, I'll leave that to the experts here who know what's going on. All I can request about that is balance.

Well, silly or not, that's what I'd like to see in the new SC. Thank you for this GREAT opportunity!!!

PS: The series should last a very long time with loads of sequels... Besides, THE LEGEND WILL NEVER DIE!!!
 
An in-depth tutorial mode like the story mode of BD. May have been mentioned before.

More just frames for some characters. Like Xianghua.
