Because SC3 gameplay is great. If we got patches back then, it would have been great.

I want SC3 Arcade with netplay more than I want SC6 lol.

This is true.SC3's patch was the arcade version, and it was the best SC gameplay ever.
I should've put it better, and it's been a long time, but I felt like a lot of his combos were predictable (as you said with his wolf) and too low of damage to compensate. Plus a lot of his moves that felt they should combo couldn't because the recovery and/or start up frames were just long enough that they couldn't connect.What combos didn't work? I *think* I was the highest placing ZWEI at Evo 2012, and while he was easily in the running for worst character in the game (and still got nerfed in the big patch), it was mainly because the Wolf attacks couldn't be varied. If you saw 4A you knew what Wolf attack was coming after it without any kind of mix-up beyond Wolf or no Wolf (which actually worked in some setups). If they bring him back in SC6 (please!) and just allow you to mix-up the Wolf attacks, he becomes infinitely better.
Exact same total as SCV, and he made it into that!
But yes, I'm aware he's not exactly a franchise staple.

I learned all of his stuff and got fairly decent with him, but the payoff wasn't worth it at all. When it comes to SCV, I'll just stick to Siegfried and both Pyrrhas.
I don't even remember his Critical Edge being damaging and again, his Brave Edges didn't prevent him from being predictable.He could put out some damage when he had meter, but otherwise I agree. If they bring him back I hope he gets some buffs, but at this point I'll take whatever they give me.
Can someone explain to me what makes this character interesting to someone that never played The Witcher franchise? I've seen plenty of footage of the game and the character doesn't seem to have much of a personality.
Yeah, he fits aesthetically, but he coming across as a little "been there, done that" to me after we just came off of Ezio from Assassin's Creed.

"Upcoming" is what interests me. If this was the MonHun Skin, that wouldn't count as an upcoming game.

Feng Wei with traditional Chinese sword would be an excellent fit.Wouldn't be mad if they brought back Heihachi or another Tekken rep.

With the right setups you could get 60%+ with meter. You needed the meter mainly to hit confirm 1K into damage. I tried looking around for some old videos, but this MLG video was the best I could find. 1:04 in the video is where my combo ZWEI starts.
Isn't that what Hwang and Yunseong are all about? And the custom style in SC3?Feng Wei with traditional Chinese sword would be an excellent fit.
He seemed to be really popular from SC2. But then they changed the way he played in SC3 and I dropped him. I still like him though.
I can't imagine he wouldn't return. He assumes too many roles for the series. (Rapier/Fencer, French-rep, Nightmare/Siegfried's-rival, etc...)
I know, right? Really, I just want them to bring back his dodges from SC2.I think he'll be back. I'm really looking forward to what new creative ways Namco can come up with to break Raph players' spirit. SC3 and SC4 were just straight nerfs, but they really upped their game for SC5. They released a great, perfectly balanced character that everyone loved, got Raph players all excited, and then just ripped out their hearts with the patch. It's gonna be tough to top that for SC6, but I'm excited to see them try!
Gamedev is such a horrible industry from a labor perspective. I wonder if any game sites will pick up on this and investigate or report on Bandai Namco's labor practices. I know Waypoint runs stories related to this from time to time.
In Soul Edge/Blade, it's Faust, which was shattered when he fought Cervantes and "rebuilt" by Soul Edge (according to the SC2 weapon description), so now it's evil.

That's what I meant by "modern day Taki". She used to be my favourite in Soul Edge and SoulCalibur. A badass demon hunter, with a pretty face behind that mask. I didn't mind the way she looked in SoulCalibur II either, but you could tell by the artwork where this was heading. It wasn't enough that she already had a nice figure and was wearing a skin tight outfit, they had to give her ridiculously large breasts and turn her into a pin-up girl for no good reason. Natsu isn't preferable to Soul Edge or SoulCalibur Taki, but I'd rather have her than the monstrosity that Taki had become in SoulCalibur IV.
Speaking of which, that game also ruined Setsuka for me. She suddenly went blonde and busty, wearing very revealing clothing compared to her stylish kimono from the previous game.
Seriously. What a downgrade. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Hilde has bikini armour should she show up in this game. One thing SCV did right was to tone down the fan service a bit, without making the characters unattractive or anything. It still had fan service. It just didn't look as absurd.
I like both designs to be honest. It's the striking contrast is what's great about them. If she comes back it should be p1 and p2 outfits.
I'm having a hard time understanding those translations so it makes it a little hard to understand the exactly what he's trying to say. It'd be amazing if anyone who understands Japanese could gives a summary of what he was trying to say. Hope he is well.
To Namco suits: fuck off with this treatment. Delay your game to next year.
Namco fans really go all out with mods, lol. I remember Tekken 6 PSP had character movesets modded to Tekken 7 before the console ports were a thing.Did you guys know the PS2 version of SC3 actually has a patch to make it balanced like the arcade version?

Pretty neat novelty.
