Not the same character...like at all.
Except for very much so in his last proper appearance (SC1) and he was basically just Mitsurugi before that.

So we're never getting Hwang back.
Until SCVI when he'll make his glorious return in silver fox form.So we're never getting Hwang back.

Personally I'd really like a dream match kinda game with all the characters from the other games rolled into one complete with a version select.
SC1 Maxi vs anyone. It's about time.
Returning to the characters that made this series popular in the first place would be great but let's move to the important question that no one is asking:
Who will the guest characters be?
Trevor Belmont.

His last proper appearance was SC3AE, hell even the custom style in SC3 was actually complete and used in tournaments. That's the Hwang I want. It's unique enough to be in the series, same with Li Long.

Yeah, those--the Chinese blade and the dual nunchaku--were two of the best custom styles.
Mitsurugi, Siegfried, and Cervantes all changed for the better. (Cervantes not because of age, but because of a new body.) Maxi, Kilik and Hilde sorta.Based on how they aged up most of the returning characters for SCV I'd expect him to look exactly the same as before.
Seriously one of my dissapointments with the SCV roster was how many returning characters seemed almost untouched in age. They made Mitsurugi look really cool and grizzled and then seemed to handwave away the passage of time for everyone else because of magic and reasons.
Mitsurugi, Siegfried, and Cervantes all changed for the better. (Cervantes not because of age, but because of a new body.) Maxi, Kilik and Hilde sorta.
Everyone else does need to be allowed to age too though, barring some exceptions that actually make sense in canon. (Which is far fewer people than they left untouched.)
Yeah, it's a problem, and it's getting hard to ignore. They tried to "fix" it with the kids in SCV, but that just backfired. (As it should of.)From what I can tell Japanese developers don't like to see their female characters age past around 30.

It's definitely a wide spread problem. Older women don't fit a very narrow view of what some people find appealing, and since so many female characters are designed with attractiveness as their primary attribute (which is a whole other huge issue), it leads to a definite lack of any mature female characters.Actually, I have a hard time coming up with examples of older female veteran characters in video games at all, especially Japanese games. And I mean physically older, not chronologically but magically stopped aging.

A sad and shortsighted situation to be sure, but hopefully one that will be rectified going forward.

They just stuck his body on a CAS style.
But if you want some of the CAS styles back, whatever. That chinese sword one only just barely has anything to do with Hwang, though.
Dude...Chinese Blade is Assassin's fighting style wholly lifted. Assassin is based off the unique moves Hwang has had since Soul Blade plus xianghua and Yunseong. If it has Hwang's head kick throw....it's based off Hwang...
... I'm having trouble reconciling "Hwang is different from Xianghua because he was different in SCIII" with "Hwang's SCIII style is from Assassin whose style was from Hwang from SC1" Which is it? You said Hwang's style was different from Assassin's.
Hwang/Assassin/Chinese Blade all have Xianghua influences since SC1 but has enough unique moves that make him a separate character worth playing. Just because he was clonish before SCII didn't mean he had tools and moves that separated him from the templates he was based on. Simply saying Play Xianghua is dismissive because you play Hwang different than you would Xianghua.

Sounds more like they're the same or different depending on which one is convenient as an argument for why that bland-ass Hwang deserves to come back.

Why you gotta be so negative and try and put down a character that other people like?
That's all that argument was. Hwang was a really fun to play with no matter how "bland" he may be. Hell Kilik is bland as hell but people love that staff style that was ripped from Seong Mi-Na. See how silly that argument is?
There's a reason Seong Mina was left out of the arcade version of 2 and didn't return (and wasn't represented by someone else) in 5.
Mina was fun in 4 even if she sucked. Getting to whack people hard with power shots and hitting them in the nuts in fun for me.
So assuming SC6 is coming, when do we expect to see it? Namco won't pit Tekken 7 and SC6 head to head, but we don't yet know when Tekken 7 will see a console release.
My guess is that if Tekken 7 hits consoles this year we won't even hear much about SC6 until 2016. If Tekken 7 is 2016 (especially late 2016) then I could see a SC6 announcement as early as E3 this year.
Tekken x SF is still in the works as well, but I can't imagine that will have any impact on a SC6 release.

If SC6 is happening, I think it'l be announced at e3. Like you said, they're not going to put T7 out around the same time, and seems like they're still doing a lot of work on the arcade version. Add to that, the MO for the past couple tekkens has been to give the arcade an update and then port the update to consoles. I think T7 is at least 1.5 years off. So, hopefully, SC6 would come first.
More teases by Verendus seem to hint that we may see it at E3. Considering what he's been spouting has lined up so far for the sake of the next DMC, along with everything else we've seen, I'm daring to get a bit more hyped!
Man, if even half of that list is true, I'd be super fucking hype.
It's a close race between I & III for my top pick.

and didn't return (and wasn't represented by someone else) in 5.
I can get behind this.
Yeah, and there's a reason they brought her (and Sophy) back in a hurry.
Talim didn't return in 5, either. Clearly there was a "good reason" for that, too. (looks at character poll with Talim blowing everyone up)
SC5 roster was horribly selected. That's "the reason". Don't use 5 as an indication of popularity. Mina was WAY higher on the poll than a lot of characters who made it in. Lol, Lizardman.

Yeah, I'm curious about a T7 Unlimited/BR. If that happens then it pretty much guarantees SC6 comes first.
Signs are pointing to SCVI being at E3. If Verendus is on the money.
I'll be so giddy if zasalamel makes a comeback. That guy is rad as heck.
Also, if this gets a Nintendo console release (I'm assuming that this will be out during a post Wii U world) I'd love to see Hyrule Warriors Link be the guest. He has a rad design and it'd be cool to see that guy get sucked into a totally different dimension!
