Turn Your Voice Into The New Game.

Hello, I'm new here and I'd like to throw in my two cents on some things. I have played all of the games in the Soul series with the exception of Broken Destiny, so naturally I'm very excited for Soulcalibur V, and I want it to be the best it can possibly be. Some of this is just going to be personal bias, but I feel strongly about all of it.

Gameplay

Without a doubt, Soulcalibur I and II are the stronger games in the series. They were the most balanced, fast, and fluid. I ask that the game play more like those two than the latest games. I found SC4 hard to play well, and even when I would play well, it just wasn't very fun. I appreciate the Soul Gauge and Critical Finish features, but I feel they could use some tweaking. CF's are hard to perform, and they just feel rare to the point where they don't even exist. If they could be easier to perform that would help. (Not sure if BD addressed this issue)

Game Modes

Please bring back the Team Battle mode ala Soulcalibur II style. I can't stretch that enough. Survival and Time Attack are also appreciated, but not necessarily required if the main game modes are worthwhile. I highly enjoyed Edge Master Mode/Mission Mode/Weapon Master Mode of the older games, so something in that fashion would be appreciated. I did not enjoy Tales of Souls, Tower of Lost Souls, or Soulcalibur IV's repetitive story mode, so please try something a bit more engaging.

Character Roster

All I ask, is that we get all of the Soulcalibur IV cast, (excluding the guest characters and bonuses) plus Dampierre and new characters, along with the return of Li Long and Hwang. In the same way that Rock and Astaroth and Kilik and Mina were differentiated, I believe Li Long and Hwang could be set apart from Maxi and Yun-Seong respectively. Please bring these two back. Hwang/Assassin was one of my mains in all games piror to Soulcalibur IV, and it's a crying shame he has not returned.

Character Customization

I felt like SC IV's character customization was really limited, in some ways more so than Soulcalibur III's. More faces, voices, attire, and a height changing feature would be great. I also would like it better if there were no "stats" in the game. Tower of Lost Souls more or less forced you to make a character decked out in armor just so your stats would be higher. I want to be MY character and rely on strategy rather than how much health I have and what kind of damage I'd do.

Other Things

How about a separate stage for each character ala Soulcalibur I and III? I prefer it when each character has their own unique stage as opposed to multiple character sharing one stage like in Soulcalibur IV. That way the stages feel more personal, and the music that plays at each stage will not fit the stage, but the character as well. Maybe give us a more Soul Blade-esque soundtrack? I always thought Khan Super Session had the most Soul. =)
 
HOnestly i dont care about single player. For me SC has never being a single player game.
i also dont care about story(except SC2), " if Maxi is still chasing after Asta..Lol I dont care"
Dont care about any gimmicky crap from SC3. For me SC3 was made to introduce the general public to the Soul calibur world.
SC3 was the game advertising Soul calibar to the world(First-time i ever saw a SC advertised on T.V.) Sc3 was a downgrade version of SC2 with flasher moves, so that Newcomers(noobs could play)
and Sc4 was a huge leap forward. The Reason im writing this is because, "i cant believe there is was a need for a petition for SC5 to be made".
If your on this forum your a hardcore SC Fan, and if their asking for our opinions im expecting SC5 to be a game made for the hardcore SC fans

Things that dont belong:
- Story doesnt matter (Concentrate on refining the fighting)
- COLLECTION ART, gallery (go buy the book) who plays SC to look at Pics in Gallery.
- SC4 Special Versus (if you play this mode your SPECIAL)
- SC Tag team mode-(not needed; but, sure why not!!! can it be Four-player-Tag 2vs2)
- useless Tower mode
- guest characters "NO". Dont waste your time on this just refine the old characters(increase Characters movelist)
[Example: Do you know what you get when you Add SC2Ivy+SC4Ivy=Goddess or Sc2MAxi+SC4Maxi=DoubleDragon]

Things i want in Soul Calibur 5:
- SC4 Engines fine, just refine it (and keep away from SC3)
- better netcode (might as while make SC5 Online focused)
- SC verison oF Tekkens "Dan, warrior, sage" ranking system (example: peon, swordsmith, soul-slayer, Egdemaster)
- Every single characters costume (From SC1 To SC4) ...That Should Be Easy...NAMCO
- More items for characters to wear(weapons, cloths)
- RO's are fine(its not SC without Ringouts)[just dont make stupied square ringout stages]
- Sc1 Stage Mitsu(stage with the flying arrows)...The shit:)
- SC1 Stage Taki(Best stage music)

---Critical-Finish best New feature of SC4**
- Two kinds of Critical-Finishes: One for Smashing/Crushing, and the another for Guard-Impacting Crushing.
its easy to win, its hard to CF:) (i dont know about you guys but ive hit the point were a win doesnt say much unless i CF you)
---Soul Charge**
i love Soul Charge like everyone else, if their going to bring it back, "i would like to see high risk, mid reward for soul charging" (make soul-charge have different colors and styles like in Tekken6 rage choices[sarcasm])
[Soul-Charging should drain the Soul-Gauge.]
if i "Gi" your Soul charged attack, i want a guaranteed counter-attack on my following attack, or better yet Soul charging with a poor Soul-Gauge and getting "Gi,ed" equals=) Critical Finish;)
- I personal want peoples disconnection records shown and tracked, so that i know your a loser before i play you.
 
As some of the members said, it will be a good idea to bring old costumes back. More fithing syles will be good too, like the chinese fan.
Character creation should be able to used male and female clothing. A simple upgrade to theater and art work display. And bringing some old characters back like Li Long and Hwang, but as a XBDL (like dark Vador in SC4 for the Xbox 360).
also tag battle is a great idea that should not be ignore.

Oh! and one more thing from me... plz KIP HILDE!!!!!!!
 
Characters (request updated 14/05/11):
-Return missing original casts as bonus characters through DLC in the later run.
-Must maintain their youth.​
-Can be a clone of the original self but difference in age (given that both fight differently).​
Example:​
-Grown Amy (Original), young Amy (bonus character).​
-Matured Yungsung (Maybe fights like Hwang?), young Yunsung.​
-Vampire-like Raph (More vampire-like powers), human Raph.​
-A balance patch so they can fit in better with the original cast.​
-Exclude other clone characters.
-Exclude guest characters.
-Exclude CAS as the last resort; keep the costume customization.

Mechanics:
-At least do something more creative for the Soul Gauge system. Do I just wanna see a flashing blue orb? Can I do something different once I reach that level?

Story:
-Instead of long text give cut scenes; all these long dialogues would be more worth watching if it was translated into action.

Controls:
-Make the right analogue stick an attack just like they did in SC3 and in SC2 for the GC controller's C analogue stick.

Modes:
-Time Attack Mode
-Survival Mode
-Team Battle Mode
-Extra Time Attack Mode
-Extra Survival Mode
-Extra Team Battle Mode

*I want all the modes except probably Standard and Extra Team Battle Mode to have online rankings and recorded replays.
*Team Battle Mode and Extra Team Battle Mode should available to play both offline and online.

Stages:
-Destructible and indestructible objects within the stage not just at the edge of stage.
-Objects can also be destroyed by weapons not just by body blows.

VS Screen:
-SC2's vs screen is the best
-Cast shadows only on characters you're about to face unless you're fighting against a human player.​

Any further updates will be edited here.
 
I have no clue if this has been said before...but how about a fight replay and history. You could check out how you did in a fight, where you messed up, what you learned, etc. and also save the fight(s)

I also would like to see better game balance. I like to enjoy my soul calibur fights similar to chess matches. The better the balance of the game, the more even the fights, which means a better and balanced "chess" game.
