I'll be voting for Zas.
I admit to liking Xiba in the sense that he actually had some unique moves compared to Kilik. And I like the lore suggesting that Kilik becomes an Edge Master of sorts, if not the gameplay (should've been an option for staff-only). Patroklos is a jerk, but at least...
I usually just use the CAS to make weird outfit combinations. In SCV, I had about a dozen Pyrrha Omega edits. Rainbow Omega, Demon Omega, Icy Omega, So red Omega, etc.
And then she picks up Soul Edge...
I was thinking the Soul team was doing these "months of (character)" based on the characters' birthdays, but Talim's is not in September, so I was wrong.
It's weird. To me, SC4 Sophie plays more like SC2 Cass (i.e. mid-range focused) than SC4 Cass does. That's why I play both in 4. I don't care much about close range mix-ups outside of throw vs strike.
So, my main(s)...
SE: Sophitia
SC1: Sophitia
SC2: Cassandra
SC3: Cassandra
SC4: Split between Cass and Sophie
SC5: Pyrrha Omega
WHY MUST YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE NAMCO?! WHY... IS IT ALWAYS ME?!
I am drawn to a combination of stronged-willed (Cassandra, Sophitia, Garnet), sassy (Cassandra, Natsu), strong (Omega, Julia Chang, Garnet), aloof (Kokoro), and freakin' crazy/dangerous (Omega, Doa2 Ayane).
Isn't Elliot one of the most popular male chatacters in DOA, even in the west? He's not really moe, but he is less confident and softer than the other males.
Admittedly, I don't care for Moe types that much. That is one of the reasons I play Omega Bailey over Moe Bailey, the other major...
I tend to play female characters over male ones. The only male characters I play in the Soul series are Hwang in SC1 and Maxi. It's pretty much the sisters and daughter 90% of the time.
Dammit, I like Cassandra more than Sophitia, but I don't want to have to pick between them so early!!
WHO DO I CHOOSE?
Bleh, I'll consider this a primary, vote Cassandra, and vote the sister that makes it for the remainder of the matches.
