Two things.

1) If you had the reigns on the soul calibur series, what would you do to change it?

2) If there was going to be a clue style murder mystery (everyone in the same mansion, and "oh noes! someone was murdered! Whodunit?!"), well, how would that go down?

Everyone would kill Yunsung, and everyone knows who did it.

I've already commented on what I'd do for question 1.

VI makes an honest attempt to at least partially redeem Xiba. Kilik is respectfully retitred, possibly after starring in some cutscenes in Xiba's storyline. All characters in the game get their own storyline, ala IV, and all CAS characters get at least one standardized one. As far as the actual story itself, I dunno enough about it to really say anything in particular.

The Cluedunit: The cast is split into two parties: Good and Bad. The Goods have captured Soul Edge and are safeguarding it/holding it hostage/whatever; ditto the Bads, only with Soul Calibur. Both swords manage to possess one of its captors, and that captor starts slaughtering the others, one by one. The two possessees face off in the end.

I recently picked up Soul Calibur V.

Ayyyyyyup.

Could we get the current crowner unhooked? I don't have any suggestions for any further ones. X, do you?

Maybe we should just start putting together that dream game.

(Moved from previous post since I'm not sure anybody saw it)

So, when're those CAS contests crowners gonna be, and how're they gonna work? Might three contests (Alt costumes for official Soul Series characters, CAS's based on non-Soul-Series characters, and completely original characters) be a good idea? Also, should the crowners be separated by game (III to V), or mixed? Mixed would give us three, and separated nine. And then we have the question of up to how many submissions each player should be allowed.

I was waiting to see if more people were interested. So you would be?

I'd go for mixed, thus 3 crowners. Granted, that would mean CAS from 3 would be at a disadvantage in pieces to work with.

I'd also have to say no more than 5 entries per troper.

I was actually thinking two or three entries, but I don't know how many people would enter. Also, I've never done anything with crowners besides vote in 'em. :/

3 would be my ideal, but for some reason some of you guys think 50 created characters is too few, so...

I wonder, over the course of the series, what would be considered the best theme music for each character. I think Raphael's in V represents him best, for reasons I've already spelled out.

I think every theme they had suits them all well for different reasons. It's too hard for me to say. I guess one definite one is Cervantes and Bravel...

Oh and Wander, I was thinking of deleting one of my created characters and replacing them with one of yours. Just thought I would let you know...? It sounded better in my head.

What's wrong with Bravely Folk Song? While it's definitely a "pirate" song, I don't think it fits him personally. That's always been a pet peeve of mine with Cervantes' themes though.

That said, I really like "The Storm Bringer" as a theme for Cervantes. If anything, I'd say that SCV on its own is really good with using its music to reflect the characters moreso than the stages they fight in.

Don't ask what's wrong with me, because I don't know either.

I do occasionally dislike being copied, but here, I'm flattered. It was the point of posting the recipe, too. Go on ahead! which one is it?

I wonder if I could get the recipe for that Kunimitsu...

You're author avatar, W, er....? Sorry, I can't remember the name you decided to give him.

I didn't expect anyone to like my Kunimitsu-esque character at all. Funny how that works. As for the formula, I'll post that when I can for you.

Hell, name him after me if you want. I do have two conditions, though:

  1. He shall not use nunchaku, nor be referred to as Maxi, Black Maximum, Blaxi, nor any derivation thereof.
  2. He gets ALL the bitches.

ALL the bitches. Even the Based God's bitches.

Just because I made a Chie, and there was a Kunimitsu-inspired character made, doesn't make them or others off limits! If someone else makes one, we can compare!

So who all is interested in a Created Character crowner? We could do this soon!

Thread hop and Thread bump.

I know things have been quiet on the Soul series front (only 44 pages? Man, that's small), but I came up with an odd theory about the two swords which I put in the Wild Mass Guessing page for the Soul Series, and I wanted to see what others thought of it:

wild mass guessSoul Edge and Soul Calibur can switch genders.

Well not so much switch genders as neither sword has to be respectively male female. According to Elysium's wiki page, she doesn't have an actual sex, and simply chooses to appear Female ( it makes sense for manipulating Patrocles). I'm assume that since Soul Edge is the equal and opposite of Soul Calibur, it is the same way. In other words, Soul Edge could choose a Female form, and Soul Calibur could be male if it so chose. They could also both be the same Gender (so both swords take female forms, or both are male) depending on the situation.wild mass guess

Just a weird thing that was on my mind. I've never even played a Soul game (though that rarely stops me from joining in on some conversations). Just wanted to get it off my chest.

I have an addendum to that: while they can be either gender, they always end up opposite genders due to the extreme duality thing (and probably out of spite).

Don't PM me. We don't like being PMed.
