Pretty much anything I can think of has been covered, just one thing I want to throw out there:
I would like to see the ability to just choose a weapon during character select again, regardless of what happens with CaS. I often go over to my brother-in-law's to play SCIV, and I'd like the freedom to use different weapons without having to take up time to make a custom character and CaS slots to do so.
Edit: Other thought, though it has sort of been touched on, I'd like to see Night Terror return to the game, I thought he made for an awesome boss character.

SC4 turned me off with the Creation mode, they took away from the creativity and originality from it forcing you to rely on game characters to be upgraded by the items. Or you went to Story mode or the Tower with a weak good looking character or strong silly character. Another problem may have been that the budget for SC4 was used up to get Dark Vader, Yoda, Starkiller, Three Star Wars stages filled with Star Wars trademark creations and theme songs. Compare SC3 to SC4 and the space that a XBOX360 disc or Blu-ray disc can hold...SC3 honestly had more content. They were worried too much on topping SC2's guest that they go and lease out characters whose colors you can't even change, weapons are unavailable to your using and quite frankly didn't make an epic splash in the series like Link did for the Gamecube version. In today's market you can rarely pick up a title for either system and look at it and say it's worth it's price tag. Now we're just paying for their name, or the character on the cover.
If they are going to make a step up, with an exclusion to what they have to fix to the game mechanics, fighting games will always have an unbalanced character(s),glitches, and things that just make you shake your head in shame along with a "wtf"...But we need to focus on the game content itself, bring back the real modes. The tower of souls wasn't fun, missions like "Defeat your foe before you are swallowed by quick sand!" "The rats on the floor are explosive!" The tower tried to gather this feeling but didn't.
Story isn't really that important because you can always just throw what happened to the side, follow someone else's path, push it so far ahead of every other installment people won't even bother to think about it. But I would like to see something new outside of the focus of "Journey for the cursed blade". Make some Demon Boss pop up that's going to make people want things like Nightmare around, or something that Nightmare might want to kill so he can absorb it's soul and become Night Terror, that will cause everyone to stop him. Make a new power that has nothing to do with those swords but rivals them and wants them destroyed so it can be the sole power in the world. SC3 kinda turned away from making a redundant antagonist and so did SC4...But you found most people's endings focus was on killing Siegfried at the end.
Overall I would like to see the Creation system go back to what it was in SC3, add more clothes, maybe two layers for every equipment slot. Keep the new body features in SC4 and bring back more hair. Get mission mode, exhibition theater, real artwork to be unlocked not all that cgi that I can find on the internet and don't waste the budget on extravagant guest. NamcoBandai has an extensive catalog of characters that can be ported for nothing than paying George Lucas all the money he's trying to rape back from Star Wars. And If they don't bring back custom weapon styles and just keep it strictly to styles of the main characters so what. The thing was the from SC1-SC3 they had something appealing for everyone. SC4 was just appealing to old SC fans, SW fans and pervs. I just want something that when I'm not spending countless hours of playing against friends that I can sit and play it by myself without saying "I wish they still had..."

Is that a problem in Broken Destiny or something? Maxi can CF from stance in SC4.

Anyways, I find that having only 3 commands and 2 actions in training is too restrictive. Would really appreciate a few more slots.
Thanks for listening.

A training mode that displays and tests the execution of
attacks and easy combos would be great for more casual players in learning techniques.
To help convey an attacker's disadvantage after being blocked, and to create more realistic looking and dynamic feeling battles, there could be different blocking animations unique to each character. In addition to adding visual interest, this would help the defender know how unsafe the blocked attack is, and also explain why someone like talim can block just as effectively as nightmare, as talim could sort of deflect or dodge the attack as blocked, while nightmare could use his large sword to simply take the impact. This effect could be as subtle or as unique to each character as needed.
Character Customization was great in IV, just more slots and more choices. Allow Limited Edition to start with everything unlocked again please!
Constantly mashing a button while guarding to prevent throws is rather flawed. Perhaps have the two throw variants also be assigned to a different directional input of escape-- In addition to A+G and B+G, the attacker can choose to start the throw mid or high and the defender must predict which the attacker will choose, giving a more immediate opportunity to prevent a throw, but also allowing the attacker to play mindgames. Throws are an important and appreciated part of Soulcalibur though, despite the complaints heard against them.
Just a few ideas for awesome new weapon styles: A nimble Kusirigama (Chain-Sickle) wielder, Two large steel mallets or balls chained together (like a hefty Maxi), and a fast striking short-spear user
Only thing else I can think of now is online lag... but Namco-Bandai won't disappoint us with that again!
ps : Don't let our ideas obscure your creativity too much... you know better than we do
