So average, out of all the SC characters they got her who's dead in her own series and become a crazy angel. She's like the sickly sweetness of Kaguya cross the boring ray of light of Joan of Arc. They could have had Xianghua who'd be like Lu Xun from DW6 or Kilik who's very popular among veterans. Hell even Voldo or Tira which would have made exciting interactions. But no, we got more dullness and another sword user. Dull, dull, dull.

I'm just glad they didn't go with Ivy, ANYONE is better than Ivy. I'm curious as to how she will interact with Achilles.

I hope they will have special dialogue between the two of them. It would be the second time she had interacted with a Greek guest character in a game, she had special conversations with Kratos, the God of War guest character, in Soulcalibur Broken Destiny.

Her quotes with Achillies will no doubt be about recipes on spanikopita and gyros.

As I said in WOU thread, I would prefer Mitsurugi or, even better, a Yoshimitsu to be added instead of Sophitia. But they decided to go with one man-one female pattern. Well, I'm more or less okay with her, but she sure won't be among the characters I will care about in this game.

Mitsurugi and Yoshimitsu would've been too on the nose. Samurais in a world with Samurais, kind of defeats the whole idea of people being sucked in from other dimensions, which WO3 started pushing with the inclusion of all these guest characters. Modern day assassins, Greek demigods, and French maidens and so on. Tossing in two more samurai would've just been boring...

Sophitia is an interesting choice and I quite like her inclusion to be honest. I mean, sure, Kilik or Ivy or even Cervantes would've been cool to see in a Warriors setting, but Sophitia sort of encompasses that warrior spirit. Greek warrior princess lady, makes a certain amount of sense.

That said, you could've chosen a more flattering picture of the girl. Ya know, something like this

I would have liked Setsuka, Seong Mi Na or Talim tbh, but I'm thankful Taki wasn't the one chosen (as much as I love her).

I mean, another ninja addition with two daggers? No thanks.

Sophitia's still awesome though.

Eh...I still can't get why Sophitia out of all the characters.

If she one of, if not THE, most popular Soul Calibur characters, I'm confused why. I personally found her bland. On the other hand, maybe that's what makes her stand out amongst some of the more infamous of female Soul Calibur characters. She is tied with Talim as one of the most "normal" of the SC characters.

Still though, if they really wanted to have an SC rep, they could've chosen more "unique" characters. I'm rather curious as to how she'll be integrated in this.

I didn't really care for her hotness upgrade in SCIV but she's always been one of my favourites. Hopefully they incorporate some of her signature moves into the game. I'd love for that throw attack where she sits on their face and jumps forward, slamming them into the ground to make it in :lol:

I'm just glad it wasn't Kilik. Overrated to hale, did he really need to be an Edge Master? Not really. Seung Mina was better <_<

I have to agree with Mitsurugi and Yoshimitsu being too obvious though, same with Natsu/Taki. Koei already have like 20 ninjas in the game.

Although if Sophitia's addition is only the first we'll be seeing, I certainly wouldn't mind Voldo/Tira/Ivy in the near future :sly:

I hope her inclusion brings more Soul Calibur + Musou games collabs :shifty:

As much as a like other characters more and would chose someone else, I don't mind her, it's already something from the Soul Series :2up:

Really weak addition. Mitsurugi will be much better suitable, even though my favorite is Maxi here.

Actually, she's a greek Joan (or is Joan a French Sophitia? :wacko: )

I can't see her being Power or Speed, so I hope she's Wonder (although I would never expect Sun Ce as Tech or Nuwa and Sima Zhao as Power types)

I my self hope she is a speed type. Speed and wonder types are my favorite types to use, so i'd probably enjoy her more as one or the other. I would be extremely disappointed if she was a tech or power type.

Eh, this might be a late remark; but personally, I don't really like guest characters and would prefer if Koei come up with original ones. But I guess she could use a chance.

Really? Until now, I haven't really see the benefit of Speed type characters (aside from their ability to double jump; which is rather meaningless, since I rarely use jump-charge attacks). What's their use actually?

Speed types can dash-cancel mid attack, making them perfect for combo enthusiasts. By jumping mid-attack you cancel it and the enemies still being jugled, leaving them open for new attacks.

that and double jumping is Fun!

Specially with Zhou Tai: Jump, Slash, Cancel, Slash, Cancel, Slash, Cancel... I think it's faster than runing :lol:

I get she's popular, but I don't think she overrides Tira or Taki in terms of female popularity. Personally I would've been interested in Siegfried as he has that whole human/demon thing encompassed in one person, whereas I'm sure Sophitia will still be "for my babies" :wacko:

I would have preferred Tira as she could give Da Ji a run for her money.

There's a number of reasons for that. But two main ones are:

1) It's easy to recognize her fanservice appeal. Ever since players got a chance to see a bit of her goods in Soul Edge and Soul Calibur, not to mention her infamous "Neck Breaker" throw moves, that was one way she found a means to quickly become a favorite in the series.

2) The other main one is due to the fact that she's consistently been one of the best characters to play in the SC series. Check any tier list for any game ranging from Soul Edge to SC4, and you'd find that she's either top tier material or just a tier below. Needless to say, she's one of the most picked characters for that reason, as well.

Couple those reasons together, and it's easy to why she's loved, especially in Japan.

Funny how I mentioned that and my neck got broken by people here because of it. :rolleyes:
