8. Dont Go Crazy With The Redesigns
When Yoshimitsus new design was reveled for Tekken 7, fan reaction was a mix of ambivalence, disinterest, and outright dislike. While Yoshimitsus always been a wacky looking character, his redesign looks like the embodiment of an Inklings nightmare. Nothing about the design suggests that he has anything to do with being a ninja outside of a sword and his light-up hakama pants. Likewise, fans speculate that Gigas is actually Bryan Marduk. While theres no real problem with new characters, Gigas is a pretty huge redesign of generic old Marduk if that theory pans out. With that in mind, Soul Calibur 6 needs to be conservative with redesigning the returning characters. A lot of it does depend on how they deal with the time skip that occurred in SCV. Seeing as we dont know how theyll handle the next game, anything could be possible. Regardless, it would be nice to see most of the characters return in ways that arent too bizarre and alien-looking.
