The only thing being discussed in that respect is the character designs.Frankfurt said:WTF? There's actually people that think SC3 and 4 are in any way better than the new MK?
Denial is a helluva thing, I guess.
I would argue that Mortal Kombat was never good and it took them 9 games to finally make a decent one. Let's not get too excited though, it's good but it's still not up there with the big boys of the genre in my opinion.Frankfurt said:WTF?

Yes, but having a plasma cutter in a weapons-based fighter is like bringing a BFG9000 to a bare-knuckle brawl.pantyhelmet said:you do realize light sabers were in the last game right?
Mitsurugi wouldn't kill a hottie like her, would he? That would be heartless.Master Thespian said:Setsuka probably caught up to Mitsurugi and was promptly sent to the afterlife with her master. Maybe she cuts his eye out or something first since he looks more and more fucked up with each passing game.

SC5 needs cougar SetsukaPachinko said:Well Taki wears a mask all the time anyway so they'll just have to draw her boobs hanging lower then usual and call it a day.
Ivy can just find some demonic mystic BS to make herself eternally young.
All the men can just eat senzu beans and , the remaining women? who cares
I don't think that their boobs will reach Itagaki-esque levels like they did with Ivy and Mina. Just a thought.jbttwin said:Me too. Besides their bra sizes, Talim needs buffed a little (or a lot) and Amy needs toned the fuck down.

The funny thing is that she had to be one of the least-used characters in the game, from my experience with SC4 online.jbttwin said:Yeah I think Ivy's not gonna age. She's almost a staple to the franchise at this point so getting rid of her would piss alot of people off.
FlightOfHeaven said:SCIV does not hold its own in the current pantheon of fighting games. It needs to go back to SCI/II greatness.
As for Ivy, give her a daughter. I really liked the concept art posted earlier.
Just out of curiosity, how does it explain Spawn, Heihachi, Link and the Star Wars dudes?Erigu said:That website was just confused, apparently.
There's probably more consistency than you'd suspect, actually...

There must be some other characteristic that makes her so popular and I can't imagine what that characteristic could possibly ever be. Probably the arm armor. Yeah, definitely

Fair enough, that all makes sense. I withdraw my earlier comments!NeonZ said:Spawn -> Sent to the past by a powerful demon (forgot his name) in order to collect Soul Edge when it was active.
Link -> When the Soul Edge was broken and the evil seed was created, a Soul Edge fragment warped into Hyrule, and powered up and corrupted a sorcerer. Link beat him in the end and Zelda discovered that the fragment came from another world and sent him there in order to destroy the source of that evil.
Heihachi - > Scratches himself in Soul Edge fragment in the present and seemingly dreams the whole thing. Tekken and SC are the same universe officially anyway.
Star Wars -> Vader feels an energy reaction in a far away place through the force and launches towards that place in order to obtain the source of that power. Yoda feels it too and goes to stop him. In the Starkiller's story, rather than going personally, Vader sends him.
I'm sure they'll go more of a Tekken 3 route than an SF3 one. We'll have some clone movesets on new characters and the like instead of dramatically new ones.TheOGB said:Is it too late to say "inb4 Street fighter III comparisons?"
Looking forward to seeing more of this
I'd be okay with this_dementia said:I'm sure they'll go more of a Tekken 3 route than an SF3 one
She exists to kill him. It's not like he's looking to kill her, but if she wants to die by his blade then why deny her? loltwinturbo2 said:Mitsurugi wouldn't kill a hottie like her, would he? That would be heartless.

Amir0x said:Right but the early half of 2000s is when the genre was dying out. There were releases but only a select few did anything: Tekken and Soul Calibur, basically.

MisterHero said:17 years later?
Sounds like another fighting series is bringing a little more focus towards its world and characters, which is something I personally.
SC did always have a detailed background but the continued focus is welcome.
I think it was mostly III and IV where character stories were basically "Character X got discouraged but then a thing happened and they set out again, their resolve strengthened!"Kaijima said:In point of fact, where the SC team fell apart was in their world building after the original SC.
Soul Edge and Soul Calibur had exceptionally detailed worlds, character biographies, and plotlines for why the characters were doing what they did.
However, from SC2 onward, it seemed each game was a kind of retread of the basic plot of SC1; the game world never really moved forward a lot, and I swear to god I have no idea what the hell was supposed to be really happening with Siegfreid and/or Nightmare.
Performing a core dump on SC, moving it 17 years later, and starting with a fresh core cast would be a great move. Get back to the rich and inventive mythology of the first two games.
Neiteio said:Why is my clockwork Gothic Lolita killing machine Ashlotte not in the bra lineup? Surely she is in the game.
I know she was one of the "manga artist" contributions, but to my knowledge she was 100 percent original, and not only was she the only "manga" one that didn't suck, she was AMAZING.
We'll probably go through some Tekken like procedure, where everyone cut from the roster will slowly be re-added in the sequels.Roto13 said:I hope whatever characters get left behind get some kind of closure.
Well, Shura has already been confirmed to not be in the game. I don't think any of the manga-ka bonus characters will be returning, as they aren't canon.Neiteio said:Why is my clockwork Gothic Lolita killing machine Ashlotte not in the bra lineup? Surely she is in the game.
