SOUL CALIBER 2: THE DREAMCAST CHARACTER?

while constructing my latest list on amazon.com(games that shouldve been released on the dreamcast http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/lis...ie=UTF8&lm_bb=) i thought of soul caliber 2 and how the gamecube, ps2, and xbox each got a character that was exclusive to each console(ps2:heihachi, gamecube:link, xbox:spawn) as big of a hit the original soul caliber was on the dreamcast it was a shame the system didnt survive long enough to see its sequel grace its platform, but if it did?! thats the stuff that interesting threads are made of! heres my question:

if the dreamcast wasnt cancelled as early as it was and soul caliber 2 were released on it, which video game character(in which incarnation) shouldve been chosen as the consoles exclusive fighter?

here is my answer: jo musashi!
which incarnation: revenge of shinobi attire but with the dog from shadow dancer and the moves and magic(and controlls) inspired by shinobi 3

shinobi would be a perfect fit for that game. one of the things i love so much about shinobi 3 is that the controlls for the character feel like youre controlling a character in a fighting game, super sharp and responsive with alot of different moves

More likely Hotsuma. He's the guy from Shinobi PS2, but in our hypothetical world of the Dreamcast living longer, that would've been a Dreamcast game. Or someone from Virtua Fighter (most likely Akira) -- no weapon, but Heihachi didn't have a weapon either.

Best choice would've been Hornet though.

Gilius Thunderhead, Tyris Flare, or Ax Battler.

is that the dude from shenmue? and who is hornet? but yeah if they were to choose shinobi it wouldve been the shinobi from the 128 bit game(which totally fails in comparison to the awesomeness of jo musashi!) i wish they wouldve just remade shinobi 3 in 3-d with 128 bit graphics(lol!!) that wouldve been awesome!

Yes, and Hornet is the car from Daytona USA. It was already a playable character in Fighters Megamix.

Or Revenge of Shinobi in 3D.

SC2 on DC could have had Jo Musashi, or Michael Jackson.
Both would be too cool in SC2.

Well, since they saw no problem in putting Star Wars characters in the later ones, my choice would have to be Indiana Jones, also the nazi dude with the breathing problem and nun-chuk coat hanger from Raiders, that guy who rips people's hearts out in Temple of Doom, and Sean connery with an umbrella.

Joe Musashi is the only logical choice here. BTW has anybody played Super Shinobi 2 Beta?

How is Ryo Hazuki not a logical choice for the time? (though I still agree about JM being the best choice)

and IMHO counting all time, how is Michael Jackson not also a logical choice?

Players could chose between the black Michael Jackson, the white Michael Jackson, and "era" Michael Jackson's as well.
Wow! That'd be too cool now that I think about it.

Knuckles, w/ interchangable accessories from Sonic Adventure.

At first I was wondering "Who would say Knuckles seriously??"
Then, I saw your avatar.

lol
