I'll just jump straight into it.

• Bring Team Battle back

• Bring Weapon Master back as well. But instead of a point and select adventure, why not try an actualadventure? Much like MK Deception did with its Konquest mode. (With Siegfried as the protagonist, of course)

• Here's the big one: have the choice of which movesets you want for your character. You know, at the character selection screen, you choose your person, but after chosing the person, have a menu to select the move sets from either SC 1, 2, 3 and 4. So many times I've heard people wish that they could use the move sets from SC 1.

• The ability to create your very own fighting style for your character, and maybe add in an XP system, where certain moves cost you a certain amount of XP, e.g. Have someone with their primary style with the Great Sword from SC 3, but you could add some of Siegfried's or Nightamare's moves.

• On the note of character creation, actually give us the ability to adjust certain things like hair length, eyebrows etc. All those people who want the perfect Sephiroth in their Soul Calibur matches really cry out for this.

• Bring back the substance! SC 4's story mode was a total letdown. Bring back Tales Of Souls from SC 3. I found that to be a good way to portray SC's story for each character.

• Take out the gimmicky characters that don't belong in the world of Soul Calibur. It's happened twice in the SC franchise, but the only character I thought that could fit in was Link, because his time period is closest to that of SC (I would assume.)

• Have Tag Team matches in online matchmaking. 2 vs 2, but one at a time. When one person is knocked out, his partner gets a go in the next round.

• Along with Tag Team, why not a Tournament mode? Have a room fill up to say, 8 - 16 players, and then have a tournament go from there. Sure, it may be a little time consuming, but I find tournaments to be fun, and you'll get to watch your opponents beforehand and firgure out their strategies.

• I would have a total fangasm if this happened - Bring back all of the nostalgic arenas and stage music from Soul Blade, all re-made and remixed to the highest quality. I swear I would hug every single Namco employee if they did this. (A nerd can hope. :) )

• Bring back nostalgic characters as well - Ling Long, Hwang, Soul Edge, Inferno, Edge Master.

• Have a replay save option. You know, after a match, have it ask if you want to save it so you can watch it again later.

• Edge Master Mode - meaning the tutorial mode that SC 3 had. It would seriously help out the new guys to SC, much like how it did before. I don't know why they took it out.

• A larger selection of weapons and effect would be nice. Not just the typical *Increased strength but low defence* and *Health absorption*.

• Have a better variety of clothing. We all know that SC is set in the 16th century (or something like that) but it's not like it's trying to be authentic to that time period. Put it some more whacky or unusual outfits and maybe some badass ones that you would find in a Final Fantasy game.

• PLEASE - Bring back sword struggles from way-back-when in Soul Blade. I loved those. Also, why not have the jumping ground attacks and the critical combos, instead of those stupid critical finishes. I mean really, I NEVER use them in an actual match, because they usually end while the soul gauge is still green.

• Going back to character creation - have an option to be a Lizard Man, or those random 'entities' that have those weird snarling, banshee-type voices. (AKA Inferno noises. xD)

So yeah, this is just my little growing list of ideas for the next Soul Calibur, which I'll edit every time I have a random epiphany. :lol:

I've been a huge fan of the franchise even before I could read properly, (No joke, I was born in 1994, Soul Blade came out in 1997. :) ) and I've noticed that it's always trying out new things in each installment, but isn't executing them as well as they could.

The best in the series is easily 2, because all of the modes you'd expect in a Namco fighter, are there. If SC 2 were to come onto the XBLA and have online matchmaking, I'd sell SC 4 in a heartbeat and download it.
