Why haven’t we gotten a SoulCalibur rep in Smash by now? It’s strange that the only Namco rep is their mascot when Capcom and SEGA both get 3 characters when they were heavily involved in developing both 4 and Ultimate. Plus SC2 had Link crossover.

>“The first thing is that the IP itself of the SoulCalibur franchise had low expectations from the company. It was actually facing a crisis of maybe disappearing. It took time for me to convince the company.”
>We asked Okubo-san whether this could be the last SoulCalibur in the worst-case scenario that VI doesn’t do well, and his answer was quite clear-cut “Yeah, that’s right.”
The franchise was on life support from at least 2012 to 2018, which is right in the wheelhouse of Smash WiiU and Ultimate development. Maybe there is more interest on Namcos side now idk if SC6 did well or not for them, but as with Terry, Byleth, and now Min Min it's really obvious the most important thing for getting in is Sakurai's interests.

talim for smash!

It did well enough to get a second season pass, it's alright.
Sadly, I think Namco doesn't really consider any of it's characters heavily despite the game being developed by Namco. Sakurai said constantly when in production meetings with higher Namco board when he would refer to Pac-man as "their character" they would go "oh right, Pac-man is our character" as if they forgot. In their eyes they don't even see Pac-man as their rep, just as a huge icon who naturally belongs in the game that when Sakurai and team are working on it they forgot it's even their character.
They seem more interested in developing and working with other companies characters for this game than characters they've already worked on countless of times.
That said Nightmare getting in and a trailer where he challenges Link to a rematch would be BASED.

One of the DLC is either Jin Kazama/Kazuya Mishima or Nightmare.

I just want nightmare

They need to put some villains at some point and Nightmare is iconic AND will be cool enough for all the zoomers who don't know him. They can even give him a corrupted Siegfried skin.
Ian Martinez
We only just got a street fighter rep, SoulCal is just not a big enough franchise.
Dominic Reyes
Shut up.

>nightmare, one of the more stupidly busted SC characters in the game getting a Smash spot and fucking the entire roster of smash with soul edge
anons I have an erection right now

The creator of the series said the protagonist is Xianghua, since she’s the chosen one & holds the titular sword “Soulcalibur” in every game. But the mascot is Nightmare. So it’s a complicated situation
Andrew Butler
it's almost like the last two games have been so half assed and empty with the most minimal effort put into most aspects about them that they did awful
Aiden Bell
If they ever put a SC character, it will never ever be sophita because sakurai kneeled to CERO

>The creator of the series said the protagonist is Xianghua, since she’s the chosen one & holds the titular sword “Soulcalibur” in every game.
...What are you even talking about?
Xianghua holds Soul Calibur in: SC1 and 6.
Siegfried holds Soul Calibur in: SC3, 4 and BD. Siegfried also holds Soul Edge(the true main sword of the franchise) in 1, 2 and 6- and Nightmare in all his versions are based on him.
Also, SC6's main hero is very obviously Kilik, not Xianghua.
Julian Lee
> The Hero: Daishi Odashima says he considers her to be the series' main character and, tellingly, she's canonically the one who wields the eponymous sword: Soul Calibur. As well as being jointly responsible (along with Kilik) for Nightmare's defeat. Later games' promotional materials would however emphasize different characters such as Siegfried and Patroklos, however.
The reboot changed it to Kilik
> He’s the main protagonist of The Chronicle of Souls mode, and ultimately the one to defeat Inferno.

I just want to know how much they weigh before the series is killed off.
Hudson Gray
I think nightmare would be a cool addition to smash just to respond to link being in sc2, but I wonder how they'd handle him with ike and cloud being the "big sword guy" and ganon covering the "big guy with big sword" styles.
also it'd be funny to see smash fags get triggered by another "anime swordsman"
Angel Lewis
Nightmare is in his game hyperaggressive, fast, and hits hard in his game. if they make him feel anywhere close to how he feels in 3-6 people are gonna flip tables. my dick is diamonds thinking about this.

Okubo said 6 sold better than projected, and that the second season of DLC was happening because of it. I thinkbits safe for at least one more game eventually.
Tekken would get a rep into Smash before SC. Best you could hope for is Yoshimitsu to cover both.
Grayson Lopez
It did well. They hadn't planned on doing a second season at all but the sales convinced them to continue supporting it. There was even a world tournament planned for this year but Coronavirus fucked it all up.
I really hope we get a SC7 because 6 finally, finally got the movement right again. All it needs is a rework (or complete trashing) of it's meter mechanics. Soul Charge is complete horseshit but lethal hits were a great addition.
