FWIW, that's not why they renamed the series. There was a trademark troll who was squatting on the use of the word "edge" in video game titles until just a couple years ago.

You might say he wanted to be an Edgemaster...

...Nope, I can't beat that pun.

Was trying to think of an "ow the edge" joke but none of them beat Edgemaster.

Surprise!

Wait, what's the exact opposite of surprise? That.

[up]Yeah, I wasn't expecting anything.

I did just see this for the first time, though.

For a few games now Netherrealm Studios' games (Mortal Kombat & Injustice: Gods Among Us) have had these well put together story modes where you play as one character for a bit, get into a few fights, then move onto the next character, all while telling an engrossing story. Now Street Fighter V is doing the same thing, or at least is trying to, I don;t know how successful it is. I sincerely hope that the next SoulCalibur does something similar, because all this significant story stuff happens in the series' background that you never actually get to see. At least there was story stuff in the early games, for a while there the "plot" just ran in circles not doing anything. But I'd love a reboot that told the story of the SoulCalibur series the way it was meant to be told.

I don't know that it would work as well in SC as it does in MK. In MK, there was one story that each character had a sizeable part in, but the characters' own stories got more focus in Arcade Mode endings of varying degrees of canon and possibility. In SC, there's somewhat of a main story, but the characters are often on varying paths, around the world. So while MK may have one "novel" with different character "chapters", SC may need a collection of independent "comics" with different character "issues". In each of the games, MK is more Two Lines, No Waiting, SC is more Four Lines, All Waiting.

[up] To be honest, I'd be okay with it coming to America if it means we could get an Arcade in more parts.

I still hate the trailer, but the game, like any general Pachinko machine, oughta be fun.

"Legends are coming"

Now they're officially celebrating the 20th anniversary of Soulcalibur. They said they have all sorts of surprises ahead. Would a new game be one of those surprises?

And then it turns out to be an officially sanctioned erotic manga of the series' most legendary character... Nightmare.

Because of course.

[down]Some of the reactions are priceless.

To begin this 20th Anniversary, let’s focus on characters of the game. July is Taki’s Month! What do you remember the most about the Fu-Ma Ninja clan top Master?

The correct answer is "tits", right? sad

Taki just beat Natsu in the poll. Glad they finally updated it.

There was no way Taki was going to lose. Lets be honest: none of the new blood is going to be their predecessors.

The only thing left to do is find a bus big enough to toss them all under.tongue

Most of the new characters have the disadvantage of not getting much attention in the story while replacing popular characters.
