Angol, is sexy like gloria from devil may cry 4.

I think, the more um, interesting characters, the better. People are making too big a deal about both of them. ok, the elf girl doesn't fit? what? and Link, Tira, astaroth or... Darth Vader do? only reason you think they don't belong is because you'd rather have the same set of characters for the rest of the series, which would be boring. Part of the attraction to the soul calibur series is the diversity in characters

People haven't even played as these new characters yet and their already saying they could never play as them. You might find out that they play really well, you might find out otherwise.

the more the better, just wait people!

2 out of 4 of those were secret characters. By the way, technically astaroth's design fits.

There's nothing wrong with how they may play. It's how they look that's the problem.

Yes, I would rather have characters who look like they fit the game. Soul Calibur, Soul Edge and Soul Blade(the original) back in the 90s were games with serious stories that most fighting games even today don't even contain. The story was decent in SC2(even with the ridiculous multi-dimensional plot because of the secret characters) and degraded a lot in SC3. I already know they're going to give Vader and Yoda some out of this world storyline(probably more stupid dimensional rifts) and I'd rather have other NAMCO characters make cameos, because they would be a bit more related and relevant. Although asking for that might make soul calibur seem like the super smash bros of Namco games. So yes, I'd rather have a bunch of characters that look like I can take them seriously within the soul calibur story.

Who the hell said Link and Darth Vader fit? Do you get the concept of bonus characters? They aren't meant to fit.

And yes, Astaroth - a golem - fits more than an elf.

Seriously, don't presume to know why we don't think certain characters belong. I only ever played SC2, so I'm not interested in the "same set of characters for the rest of the series." That doesn't mean that I can't find certain characters out of place. Part of my attraction to SC2 was that the characters didn't seem completely retarded (ie: no schoolgirls or guitar-playing witches) despite being varied enough.

So Angol is supposed to be the character on the PS3 box who had Ivy stand in for her?

She also appeared in the intro to SCII as the little girl with Rapheal, and she was playable in the arcade version of SCIII. Not sure why we need so many rapier wielding characters now..
She was a hidden character in the home version of SC3 as well.
None of these people are very creative or they wouldn't be working in videogames.
Wut?

I know some people like to rave about their favorite videogame stories and art and all of that. But really games are games, they're like sports. A creative character is like a fancy helmet design or a cool mascot (sports comparison). As much as people want to rate up games' creativity, it's nearly always pretty abysmal.

That's ridiculous. It's just a different form of creativity. There are artists and designers who dedicate themselves to this industry who would be pretty blown away by that statement. Game design itself can be quite creative.

Sure, literature is a better means of storytelling, and sure, videogames are not and never will be fine art.. but to suggest that creative people don't work within the videogame industry would just be flat out insulting to thousands of people.

Games are games, but they're not like sports.. maybe in how they're played or received but certainly not in how they're designed.

This makes me think that they added Yoda and Vader just so these new characters don't seem so terrible

Video games are used in fine art every day, it's only a matter of time before it becomes even more immersed so that you can't say that statement whatsoever
Literature will be better than most everything, simply because the imagination is limitless
There is a lot of creativity within the game industry, games like Katamari, Killer 7, Gary's Mod, Crazy Taxi, Little Big Planet, Seaman, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, No More Heroes, ETC (the list is huge) wouldn't exist. Machines like the Dreamcast showed us just how creative a collective group of creators can be. The Nintendo DS is continually proving everyone wrong and that the touch technology they decided on was a genius move of creativity. The Nintendo Wii has the possibility of doing the same.
To say their is no creativity in video games is just stupid. Benchmarks would never be made, successful franchises could never be possible. Online consoles wouldn't be rampant, and consoles wouldn't be taking the attention away from pcs as much as they do now.

To say that there is no creative people in the video game industry, you're either kidding yourself or are completely oblivious to what goes into making a decent game. The character designers, the story and dialogue writers, the music composers, the modelers, the texture artists, even writing good code would be considered a creative feat by some.

I would say that to fully immerse a person in an interactive story while all they're really doing is staring at flashing lights on a screen takes a great deal of creativity. From the simplest of games like Portal to the more heavy undertakings like Mass Effect or Call of Duty, I don't think that you can play these games for even a few minutes and claim that there is no creative effort that goes in them.

I think you've been playing the wrong games my friend. Or maybe too many mmorpgs.
