So, a few weeks ago, Soul Calibur 5 was officially announced. I figured now would be the time for me to talk about what I would like to see in the next Soul Calibur game.

1) Weapon Master - This is what got me into the Soul Calibur series (apart from Link being a guest character). I would like to see Weapon Master return in the style of Soul Calibur 2, so custom characters are for more than just showing off online.

2) More weapon styles - I want to be able to use a character with a weapon style other than those used by most of the main characters. I want to see the ability to create a monk character. Also, if possible, I want to see at least Necrid's weapon style from Soul Calibur 2.

3) Team Battle and Battle Theater - Why were these removed in the first place? Team Battle was a lot of fun, but Battle Theater was MADE for custom character matches! It would also be exciting to make tournaments and set the difficulty up to maximum.

4) Special Matches - Soul Calibur 2 had special obstacles to overcome in Weapon Master, such as explosive floors and walls, invisible opponents, and lighter gravity. It would be nice to see this return as options in versus matches.

5) Return of Dampierre - Dampierre is a welcome addition to the Soul Calibur roster in my book. I want to see him return in SC5, as well.
