The main character of the popular anime and manga series was practically created for a Soul Calibur appearance. Hitokiri Battousi AKA Kenshin Himura (Rurouni Kenshin) His unique weapon, which can lock and reconfigure into all of the forms I mentioned above would allow for a deep stance-based character that could transition from different weapon-states in mid-combo, similar to what they’ve already established with Ivy. Daredevil has had a few different iterations of his look, with an armored version debuting in the 90’s that might fit in well with the medieval themes of Soul Calibur. His highly acrobatic and gymnastic movement would open the floor for a movelist filled with daring and visually stunning movements, as well as opportunities for his costume to look incredible in Namco’s high-def graphics. His lack of direct physical powers and skilled use of batons/Escrima sticks, staff, whip techniques and nunchaku skills make him a perfect fit for the series. I chose Daredevil because he’s one of Marvel’s most prominent, skilled, and famous weapon-wielding characters. With Marvel Comics being an entertainment juggernaut (see what I did there?) now more than ever, Namco would be wise to incorporate the character seen on the popular Netflix series, who’s now more well-loved in mainstream media than he’s probably ever been into their franchise. We’ve already seen with the various Star Wars characters that Soul Calibur has featured that the series and its mechanics can accommodate the look and style of plasma weapons, and Hayato’s fast paced movelist would be right at home amongst Soul Calibur’s cast. Capcom 2, and it would be awesome for the futuristic bounty hunter to encounter his martial ancestor in Mitsurugi, who is essentially the low-tech version of who Hayato is. It might be asking a lot for Namco to partner with rival Capcom for this guest-appearance, but the main character of Star Gladiator has already appeared in other games, such as Marvel vs. I feel if they’re open enough to feature characters from those franchises, the following shouldn’t be weird for them either: 5. Soul Calibur has been one of the most welcoming and daring fighting game franchises out there when it comes to cameo characters, doing a great job with developing faithful and fun movelists for characters from a variety of sources. Namco’s Soul Calibur franchise is arguably only second to Tekken in terms of the company’s popular offerings, and with the most recent entry in the saga being around 6 years ago, with the next piece of the adventure poised to be released in the remainder of 2018, we’re celebrating the excitement with my top 5 guest-character suggestions that should appear in the franchise. SoulCalibur 6 will release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC October 19, 2018.
