No, I'm not talking about the consequence-free happy pill from Brave New World, although that would probably be a good addition, too. I'm talking about Soma Cruz from Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow fame, two of the best Castlevania titles to date!



Okay, so Soma Cruz looks a bit like a sassy drag queen from the near future (they'd make him look less silly, I'm sure!), but don't let his looks deceive you! He has quite a bit of potential due to his ability to obtain the soouls of all the enemies he encounters. Also, he wields a huge variety of weapons! I mean, like, whoa, dude!

Possible moveset (supposing they give him a poleaxe [just for some variety from the sword] and not, say, Excalibur):

A- For speed issues, give him a simple jab.
AA- Jab, hook.
AAA- Jab, hook, roundhouse kick.

Tilt A Up- That quick uppercut thing that the Curse of Darkness guy does (yeah, yeah, gimme a break)
Tilt A Down- Similar to Ganon's, quicker though.
Tilt A Forward- Quick jab with the poleaxe.

Air A- Surrounded briefly by Erinys (sort of like a Valkyrie, all holy and winged and such).
Air A Up- Full spin with poleaxe stretched out.
Air A Down- Lunging kick thing, bounces off enemy like link's Down Air.
Air A Forward- Quick poleaxe swipe acring from bottom, stops horizontally.
Air A Backward- Quick poleaxe swipe from the bottom, stops horizontally.

Running A
- That cool slide kick thing. You know what I'm talking about.

Smash Forward- A very wide arcing from the top attack, like Marth's (strong tip, put pole doesn't hit!).
Smash Up- A wide arcing swing, like DK's up tilt.
Smash Down- Swing's back-down, then forward-down (more lunging forward).

B- By default, lunges forward in a slower grab motion to steal other player's B attack (yes, like Kirby).
B Up- One Hippogriph jump, fast and very high like Game and Watch's.
B Forward- Aguni! Beams of fire race across the ground, mid range.
B Down- Creates small tornade around himself for a few seconds.

Super Move- Sword Familiar - A gigantic Claimh Solais shoots out and completely ***** everything on screen.

Of course I'd much rather have Alucard, but Soma would be cool, too. <3

Visiting from above.
This is the second Castlevania guy you've suggested. How many Castlevania people are you expecting in this game Matt? :p

I just beat Dawn of Sorrow today, so I'm a bit excited for Castlevania at the moment! It'll pass by tomorrow, I'm sure.

Oh, hey, has anyone warned RVD fan for being a douchebag yet? I would if I could, but I don't think he's posted in the Pool Room.

The moves are nice but he sounds too rigged. To make it "balenced", make him light to throw/send when hit (semi light like mix between G&W and Falcon), slower attacks but still strong, and I don't know about the B button attack. He only gets the soul after the monster dies.

Nah i think he should be a little rigged Just look at him he should be a hard opponent to beat and easy to own with but i think he should have som slow moves but i use masamune all the time so i dont know what slow is XD what i wanna say is that he should have a different variation between his attks with most of his weapons it'll be random....

I like the idea of soma being in brawl. By the way they could do it as to where he uses a whole bunch of different weapons like the masamune for quick attacks the poleaxe for strong attacks and the death scythe for smash attacks.

as much as I think he would own, Simon Belmont has an overall better chance. he has been in More CV games then anyone else, and would represent the CV franchise more then Soma. Simon also has a whip, which is the trade marked weapon of Castlevainia. Soma has... a lot of different weapons. which would make it difficult to deside which weapon to give him. I like Soma as a character, but I think Simon would be a better choice in terms of Brawl additions. although if Soma got in insted, It wouldn't bother me that much. Castlevania getting Rep in Brawl is all I care about.

like i said he wouldnt just use 1 weapon itll be random each time u fight. Simon otherwise probably but soma has made his record really well. i dont know about simons whip its just to like * wow a whip....* like my idea* Cool he can attk with different weapons in each fight like game in watch with his moves or something close to that. i have 2 that agree XD so far i gave them something to think about.

that way might work. but it still dosn't change my mind. I still think a whip would; a) add a new weapon type into SSB. b) be a good, fast weapon with a very long reach (sweet spot at the tip of the whip). c) represent the CV franchise best, because a whip is the trade marked weaopn of Castlevania.

sure, Soma would have interesting moves. but Simon is more deserving of being the Castlevainia representative. Simon also has a bunch of item that he used in his games that could be part of his moves. like the Daggers, holy water, throwing axes, ect. Simon would be equaly as interesting as Soma could be, and is overall more likley.

He would definately be one of my all time favorite characters to play with. Soma Cruz all da way to Brawl son!
I haven't played Castlevania in my whole life, but im not going to diss him. simply because i donnot know this character soma, the attacks are good, but i don't really like the persona giving off of him.

ha ha, Do you have a GBA? if not buy it haha, or play the Nes and Snes games on your computer
no, i sold that too, mainly because all the games i owned at the time sucked, and i had beaten them about 10 times each. Ex: super mario circuit, or something like that.

and this is my mom's computer, i broke my laptop at christmas, for not having it charged, or something like that. in a few months, im going to get a sweet new comp! flat top dell:) :) :) :) :) :)

hmm

*Spoilers!*

soma rocks, mind you, a lot of people dont know who simon belmont is...
soma IS quite populair, seeing they wanted to make just one game (aria of sorrow)...
it is my understanding they made dawn of sorrow BECAUSE soma's so populair.

anyway, I think they should give him (B) Flame demon, (B UP) Bat company, (Side B) Leopard
and (down B) petrify

furthermore, he should be able to glide (flying armour)
his weapon of choice: none, knife or a new thought of weapon (dracula sword?)
i dont think soma shuld be able to STeal a move by pressing b... maybe he should learn a move when he KO's an opponent.


Simon should be in alongside Soma!
and Julius would also be cool! (think of the battle with him in aria of sorrow)
