* Confirmed in Soul Calibur 4; Zasalamel's full profile downright states he's a former member of the tribe that was tasked with the protection of Soul Calibur after Algol's death.
 
== Zasalamel is [[Warhammer 4000040,000/WMG|the Emperor of Man]]. ==
He's immortal, has been around since the beginning of civilization, and, in SCIV, dedicates his life to guiding Mankind to its full glory.
* Alternatively, Zasalamel, Mitsurugi, Algol, and Talim will all combine and form the Emperor. Zasalamel and Algol for awsome powers, Mitsurugi for the fighting skills, and Talim to add the messianic touch.
Line 179:
** It will be revealed that Siegfried’s friend who tried to protect him from Taki in Taki’s backstory was actually this universe’s version of Veral (the main antagonist of SCII’s little alternate universe adventure story), and he will be this game’s main protagonist.
** Tira will have been consumed Soul Edge to give him a power boost.
** The new bonus characters would be: Link for Wii and an ancestor of Desmond Miles of Assassin's Creed for 360 and [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]]
*** Some of us ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' fans have been waiting for Dante since the rumor that [[SC 3]] was used for a DMC 3 boss battle.
 
Line 371:
For one, ''V'' is set to be released in 2012, one year after ''Castlevania'' will be celebrating its 25th anniversary. Who's to say that Konami's [[Milestone Celebration]] (besides some new ''Castlevania'') won't involve inserting one of their characters into this series? It's not like ''Castlevania'' doesn't have its fair share of supernatural and gothic elements, so it'd be right at home with the series' atmosphere. The Belmonts also bring a very appealing set of moves and weapons to the table, including the Vampire Killer, subweapons, and [[Limit Break|Item Crushes]] (which could fit the concept of supers used in ''V''). I could honestly see it working similarly to [[The Legend of Zelda|Link]], only without the whole [[Character Tiers|"bottom-tier"]] label.
 
The most likely candidates would be [[Castlevania (1986 video game)||Simon Belmont]], his great-grandfather [[Castlevania: The Adventure|Christopher]] [[Castlevania II: BelmontsBelmont's Revenge|Belmont]] (which would make a bit more sense), or (even likelier still) Christopher's son Soleiyu, given the chronology. The ''Soul'' series takes place in the late 16th century. If my facts/sources are correct, the timeline goes ''Soul Edge/Soul Blade'' (1584) --> ''Soulcalibur'' (1587) --> ''SCII''-''SCIV'' (1591). With the 17-year [[Time Skip]], that would put ''V'' somewhere around 1608. The original ''Castlevania'' is set in 1691; this would mean that Simon would yet to be born, although ''Castlevania'' has its fair share of [[Time Travel]] that could mitigate this problem (as was the case with [[Tekken|Heihachi]] and [[Spawn]] in ''II''). Christopher's adventures took place 1576 and 1591, but he already seems to be well into middle age and has a son. The reason Soleiyu would make for the best representative is because he was only 15 in ''Belmont's Revenge'', which would make him 32 here.
 
Personally, it'd great to see Soleiyu make it into the game, since he and his dad are ''easily'' the most obscure members of the Belmont clan.
 
Alternatively, it could instead be [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Alu]][[Breakout Character|card]], seeing as he's functionally immortal. Even though he went to sleep in [[Castlevania III: DraculasDracula's Curse|1476]] and didn't awaken from his slumber until [[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night|1797]], this could always be [[Hand Wave|hand waved]] by the dark influence of Soul Edge disrupting his sleep, forcing Alucard to go investigate. Alucard has enough to also seamlessly transition into the series, with his Alucard equipment (namely, the Sword and Spear), Dark Magic, [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|transformation magic]], and [[Summon Magic|summoning]] of his [[Familiar|familiars]].
* [[Jossed]]. [http://www.fightersgeneration.com/np9/ezio-sc5.jpg Looks like the] [[Guest Fighter]] here is [[Assassin's Creed II|Ezio]].
 
Line 405:
== [[Assassin's Creed|Ezio]] WMG ==
* The Soul Edge and/or Soul Calibur will be revealed to be a Piece of Eden, specifically "The Sword" and one of the characters will be a mercenary for the Templars, which is why Ezio is trying to track them down.
* The Animus Desmond was placed in by the end of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|Assassin's Creed Brotherhood]]'' is glitching and the Soul Edge or Soul Calibur is the key that will allow him to be able to move on to the [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|next part of Ezio's life]].
* Ezio is a [[Virtual Ghost]] inside of the ''SC'' world; ''SCV'' happened, but Ezio is actually part of a re-enactment of that era. Even though both series take place during the time of [[The Renaissance]] (making Ezio the ''only'' guest so far who completely fits the atmosphere of the series), Ezio is allegedly dead by 1524 at age 64-65, which means that by the time of ''Soul Edge'' (the very first game), he would have been dead for ''exactly six decades''. [http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-10-21-ezio-confirmed-for-soulcalibur-5 According to Tago,] Ubisoft sort of gave them a story for Ezio's inclusion, "saying he could exist in the world of ''Soulcalibur'' through the power of the [[Genetic Memory|Animus]]," which is "why at the beginning of the trailer you see all those Animus type reboot sequences." This could be used as a [[Sequel Hook]] (maybe Desmond will learn something about Ezio through this event or maybe pick up some more combat skills due to the bleeding effect), but seeing as the presence of guests runs on [[Rule of Cool]], it sounds unlikely.
* Ezio's presence is merely a new animus training program for Desmond
