http://twitter.com/Daishi_CALIBUR Send the Soul Calibur dev team a tweet!

If you're tired of having female characters get put out to pasture just because they aren't 16 anymore, then let your voice be heard! Tell NAMCO that Seung Mina deserves to be in Soul Calibur 5!

The future of Seung Mina's Treasure Hunt is in your hands!

Bring back Mi-na! Bring back Mi-na! She deserves to be in Soulcalibur V. I don't care if Xiba has some of her moves. She needs to be in the game!

Will we ever see Seung Mina again? She's been my main since Soul Blade and I don't know if I want to keep playing this series without her...

@sketcha09

If she "played differently" then how can she have "same style"? Different moves, combos, tactics, stance, combat pace etc... it's a unique character.

It's like Sarah and Jacky in Virtua Fighter (both fighting Jeet Kune Do) or the Kim brothers in Garou (TKD), or Kim and Jhun in KoF, or Ryu and Gouken in SF4. Doesn't matter what the style it says it is, if the gameplay experience is different, then the characters are different and worth keeping.

[sketcha09]

@a0classcriminal Cassandra may play somewhat differently from Sophitia, but she has the exact same style and weapon as Sophitia. The same can be said for Rock and Astaroth. That's like saying it's okay to have an entire roster of characters with the exact same sword but different styles, or the exact same style but different weapons.

"Hands and feet" aren't the central focus of a hand-to-hand fighting game. It's the fighting styles, just like how weapons AND styles are in SC.

@sketcha09

You don't seem to be getting the point either. Using a similar weapon doesn't mean that styles are the same and it's "okay" to phase characters out. Cassandra for example (short ranged rushdown, reversals, dodging and low throws) was played differently from a more mid-range oriented Sophitia.

Equalling weapons and styles is like saying it's OK to remove characters in unarmed fighting games because they all use hands and feet.

@sketcha09

What "unique weapons and movesets"? The replacements are mostly palette swaps with generic personalities, and the newcomers could've been added without kicking the old guard out.

There was no excuse for butchering the cast like that, period.

[sketcha09]

Seong Mina not being in the game, and giving some of her moves to Xiba, was a better choice to increase the chances of new unique weapons and movesets to come in. Much like how Rock is. Seong Mina didn't have much story potential anyways, besides first being like Yun-Seong and THEN having to find him all of the time.

Talim, however, has a very unique moveset, weapon, and appearance from the rest, plus being younger than Hilde in age. There was no excuse for her not being in SCV.

[sketcha09]

@phantasmic1000 Chronologically they are. Physically, they are not. They are both 25 and 23. During Tekken 2 and 3, they were a part of a cyrosleep project, and were asleep for nearly 16 years thus preserving their age.

tbh i thought talim and mina were out cause of small boobs

imo we dont need a female qiba in this. what i rly miss are unique styles like talim or zasalamel.

mina and amy gtfo and never come back as long as you just copy other fighting style. (yes im aware mina was before kilik so he coppied her)
