I liked Raphael, pre-vampire crap. SCII was so good.

Setsuka/Li Long/Zasalamel better be back!
And the Bloodborne default Hunter (Saw-cleaver) as a guest.

Pick Zasalamel.

Only, Bloodborne isn't a Bandai Namco release.
Zas is doing pretty well. 3rd place and only 9 votes behind Taki (who is 52 votes behind Talim).
With that in mind, I had to go with Lizardman, who is lagging behind (largely due to them splitting his votes between himself and... himself). With his votes combined, he'd be just ahead of Astaroth as # 26 of 45
As it is, Lizardman is at 30th (behind all the new kids save for Pat, Lexia and the Alexandria alternate forms; a terrible disgrace) and Aeon is at 34th.
Out of 45 that doesn't sound so bad, but when you consider that the characters following are mostly mimic characters and bosses (and Patroklos), well...
I guess I can't blame people too much for not voting for him, since they destroyed any interesting character that he had or could have had when they pooped out his story for SCIV, and then rather than cleaning up the mess, they preserved it in a little glass box with SCV and then they pooped on that for good measure.
Still, I invest only in potential! And potentially, if they wound the clock back to where things were in SCIII and didn't screw it all up, they could have something special on their hands.
In any case, they should NOT give the character an in-story reason to be nothing more than a mindless cannon-fodder mook jobber goon blargh monster. That is some of the ugliest destruction of a character that you can do. Aghhhh! And I've had to stomach it for two games and for 10 goddamn yearrrrssssss
It's 2 am and I'm ranting about a
Didn't know she was that popular, indeed, but her disappearing make me give up on SC, so I'd gladly welcome her back.
(as far as characters are concerned, I think the series went down since SC II )
Yup. Out of all characters that they cut out of V they had to cut him. My go-to character. His weapon and fighting style is just so fucking cool.

All my other characters seem to be sufficiently voted for (Talim, Seung Mina, Kilik) so I had to vote for my bro Algol who seems to be hurting right now.

Hwang got my vote. Would be nice if we could vote 'no supers', too.
Yeah, I could get behind that. I don't like how they interrupt the flow of a fight.

Ugh. I'd rather them focus on refining SCV's system than reinventing the wheel for the 6th time.
Oh man, this so much. I fucking loathed the supers for that reason. I also dread that in the upcoming Tekken 7.

What about Brave Edges at least? Those were cool.
Brave Edges are all right, though I'm not too fond of having to manage meter either. Still, they don't interrupt the flow and don't become tiresome as quickly as supers do.
Not to mention that some supers are better than others so it creates more problems for balancing.
That too.
Pretty high. Just behind his sister. Lingering around 14/15th place.

I wouldn't get my hopes up about this. It's most likely be some F2P garbage littered with micro-transactions out the ass.

They've already got a F2P SoulCalibur, and it's still being supported with new content. I imagine this is something better.

Gonna vote Kilik for my friend. He was depressed in what he turned into for SCV. I realized I don't really have a favorite character and if I did she isn't coming back (Pyrhha Omega). Hopefully the guest character is a good pick so I can just use them.

I figured Namco would just let Soul Calibur die. I'd love to see a series reboot on current gen hardware. These games are always oh god so pretty.
On topic I just need Tira

Especially considering they've went all in with almost all of their other games.

Too lazy to screencap but the top 9 right now is Talim - Taki - Zasalamel - Ivy - Siegfried - Nightmare - Yoshimitsu - Sophitia - Mitsurugi
SC 2 HD on Steam is like free money

She's one of the most unique characters that got shafted from 5 with no replacement for no reason.
People were pretty pissed when she didn't make it in back then. Even Setsuka got a Patroklos pallet swap

Seug-mina i need you BACK !
This is all.
If more than one vote was possible i would have voted for zasalamel, setsuka or viola but ..oh well.

Same.
My vote would be Mina/Talim/Zasalamel/Yunsung/Rock
I hate to be one of "those guys", but the old cast just is so much better than the crappy SCV replacements. I do prefer Rock to Astaroth.

I voted for Taki since she was omitted in SC5 and I didn't like Natsu. Surprised to see Talim leading the poll.
Anyway, I hope not too many people waste their votes on the likes of Mitsurugi, Ivy and Siegfried. These are beloved staple characters that will surely be in either way, other more obscure characters may need the votes more. Reminds me of the people that voted for Ken, Cammy and Gouki in the SF5 poll a few months back.
