Remember Soul Calibur 2? That was a good game. I suck at it. Mostly because my best character is Zasalamel and that cat didn't even show up until Soul Calibur 3. My office performs regular Soul Calibur/Tekken 5 tournaments, and I get served on a regular basis. But I can do Feng's 10-hit combo like 'taint nothin'.

I still lose. I have world champions at my office, and they got their shit together.

However, if ya'll remember SCII had bonus character for each platform. PS2 had Heihachi, which was meh, Xbox had Spawn, which really depends on where you were coming from, and the GameCube had Link, which rocked the Casbah.

But I hear rumors on the Tubes that bonus characters might come back for SCIV. I'd like to see some opinions on who should be in on the fighting. In mine and the opinion of many others, Kratos would get SCIV to sell 12 trillion copies on the PS3. People would be buying the game just to touch it, to feel its glory, just to punch Xerxes in the taint simply through the power of Sparta.

But on the 360, I just don't know. No character has truly appeared from the aether to fill the role so far. I would say the Master Chief, but DOA already kinda sorta did that. Frank West would be good, but he only works against zombies. Marcus Fenix would be excellent, but he would just chainsaw everyone to death.

You guys got any ideas? The 360 is a great console, but its mascots are few and far between. Who could face the likes of Mitsurugi's blade or Ivy's gigantic boobs? I would like to know.
