Annon-Guy: What makes or breaks a Guest Character for you?

I know you focus on the main cast and all, but when a Guest does show up, how do you feel about them?

Feel free to use the Guests from Soul Calibur as an example. I know Link and Ezio are the most well received while Yoda, Dark Vader and Starkiller get shafted on.

Honestly, I haven't had much reason to complain about the guest characters I've been presented.

In Soul Calibur's case, we actually got VERY GOOD representation for a lot of guest characters (Bandai Namco and Project Soul were pretty skillful in that regard).

I'd argue that Spawn's presence in Soul Calibur is actually dwarfed by how he was presented in Mortal Kombat 11, to be honest.

If they managed to sneak Spawn in Guilty Gear, I'd go crazy... hahaha...

Samurai Shodown's Guest characters (i.e. Baiken/Warden/etc) were "simplified" to better suit the game's mechanics, and while that's something some people might complain about... in Samurai Shodown's case, "simpler is better" in a lot of ways. Even for Baiken in that game... she felt very solid in the game itself (well maybe not as versatile as she was in Accent Core or Xrd, but those are the peak of GG, and are hard to compare to).

I'd argue Soul Calibur IV's DLC wasn't the problem... the gameplay elements and mechanics were the larger issue.

Yoda is... well he's a mild amusement... Soul Calibur IV got mixed responses on a GOOD day... but people still loved Starkiller and Darth Vader regardless.

Yoda is the "Kliff Undersn" of Soul Calibur, if you can believe it... tiny character, awkward hitboxes, silly hits and combos... but DESPITE ALL THIS... he is very lore-accurate to the films that depicted Yoda in Combat in the Star Wars series (which is funnily ironic.)

I'd argue that they could've chose Boba Fett or the Mandalorian and got a stronger response, but that's Star Wars for you.

Honestly, I'm a huge fan of Jedi Survivor and Jedi Fallen Order, but that's a different story.

Soul Calibur IV itself suffered under its own mechanics and features, the Tower of Trials it had was some of the hardest content ever seen in an SC game, to be honest... not nearly as fun as Libra of Souls.

I'd say the character DLC wasn't the problem with that game... the mechanics of the weapons and the unlockables needed more to be improved upon.

In terms of visuals though, Soul Calibur IV is still one of the prettiest SC games (SC6 wasn't nearly as bright, but it also had a lot more stable features and played at a faster pace like SCII and SCIII are better known for being).

SCIV also didn't have an extensive museum/library like SC6 does, so that right there should tell you something.

Also SCIV had a ton of guest characters beyond the DLC and many of which looked nothing like standard Soul Calibur cast, some were straight out of an anime (Angol Fear), which was jarring to compare to at the time, since most SC characters look semi-realistic.

My standard for guests boils down to how well they fit in with everyone else in the roster... if they stand out like a sore thumb but can still scrap well in a fight, I guess that's fine for some people, but for me I don't necessarily want to be embarrassed by my friends when I decide to pick a character.

Angol Fear definitely stands out, however a character like Ashlotte was inspired.

It was Ito Ōgure who came up with her design, but as a result we got the Clockwork Doll character creation template later on in Soul Calibur 6... and many fans have appreciated it.

(By the way, Ashlotte is still one of my favorite SC designs as well.)

You could argue that 2B is the "next big step" in that aesthetic and genre, though in her case it's a bit more complex.

2B is also a guest character in Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising now, which is also nice to hear, I'd argue that Granblue is the 2D equivalent of Soul Calibur (and given the staff that created the game were former Project Soul Staff, that should be obvious).

Even if Harada once stated that Project Soul had to be disbanded in order to make a game like Tekken 8 possible, I still believe that everyone who was behind Soul Calibur as a series would love to work on something similar in the future... it was that great a concept.

Ultimately, when it comes to fighting games, you have certain themes you want to make present... and when including guests in to that theme, you want to make sure they mesh well overall.

Of course, that doesn't just apply to fighting games, but to every game that has that level of potential.

Despite the fact many might consider Soul Calibur dead and buried... MY SOUL STILL BURNS.

TW: INCEST You guys do not even understand the chokehold this duo had on me when I was a teen. The bad ass sister who could kick any guy's ass and the super possessive big brother with a 'touch her and die' complex. It's such a toxic duo, but I honestly love it and need more fic recs with this dynamic. 💯

Short Review

Air Gear is about a futuristic new brand of Automotive rollerskates that when modded allow the user to run as fast as cars. Street Gangs use these skates to fight in various turf wars over territory. Our protagonist is a plucky teenage boy who finds out that his adoptive three sisters are all skaters who have their own gang together, and inspired by the freedom the skates give, and letting him virtually fly, he and his friends form their own gang to prove themselves against the other gangs.

While the anime is technically science fiction, the writer's whimsical use of physics is often borderline fantasy, so should be treated more akin to Star Wars. a Fantasy series that uses the trappings of science fiction instead of outright canonizing magic. This whimsical use of science also extends to an (mis)understanding of biology, with the writer often using real medical conditions as flavor dressing for functional superpowers characters might have (an example being a Blood-Gut caused by Obesity giving a character a fresh supply of extra blood they can pump into their body on command to give them enhanced strength and stamina)

The series has otherwise gorgeous art when it is not being horribly offensive towards its underage cast of characters. Some battle art genuinely being some of the best art in shonen manga period. This is sadly poisoned by the fact that to enjoy this fantastic art, you have to sit through the mountain of a list of trigger warnings described above

The anime itself only covers the first half of the manga

...

Thank you to Honey Ham in the discord for this!!!!!! Yikes though jeez

In addition, all of these titles are set to release on March 27th, 2018. Below are the official synopsis, and box art…

[retroldschooltv]

Tenjō Tenge (天上天下 lit. Cielo y Tierra o A lo largo del Cielo y la Tierra?) es un manga creado por Ōgure Ito, más conocido como Oh! Great. El título posiblemente está basado en la frase dicha por Buda cuando nació: "Sólo se honra en el cielo y tierra" (天上天下唯我独尊 Tenjō Tenge Yuiga Dokuson?). La historia principalmente enfoca a los miembros del Club Juken y el grupo opositor, el consejo Disciplinario, que es dirigido por un estudiante en una escuela dedicada a las artes marciales. Como la historia revela, ambos grupos tendrán batallas en curso, que se han dejado sin resolver por cientos de años. El manga ha tenido notable éxito, siendo licenciado en varios países, incluyendo su distribución a países hispanohablantes como Argentina, España, y México. Estando el manga aún en publicación, fue adaptado a un anime de 24 episodios; un año después se lanzarían dos OVA. Existe también un especial de televisión que narra la historia del Club Jūken. El manga llegó a su fin en la edición del 19 de agosto de 2010 de la Ultra Jump. Se anunció que en la 12° edición de dicha revista, se publicaría un capítulo especial del manga. La romanización original del título de la serie es Tenjho Tenge: si bien se desconoce la razón, lo más probable es que se deba a un error, confundiéndose Tenjho por Tenjoh(manera común de romanizar vocales largas) #tenjoutenge #retroact #anime #manga #ohgreat

Playlist: https://goo.gl/BLj6e4 Ashlotte Maedel is a bonus character in Soul Calibur IV designed by guest artist Ito Ōgure. She is a creation of Fygul Cestemus. Her weapon, named Krnielk, is an axe with a lance on one end and an axe-like blade on the other that resembles a iron maiden. Ashlotte's moveset is the same moveset as Astaroth, which is ironic, having the same moveset as the person she was designed to kill. She is smaller in stature, her throws have an 'invisible' distance between her hands and the opponent. What lies in her soul is Honesty.
