Siegfried's quite a tragic character. Kills his father unknowingly then when he realises what he did he can't handle it and his inability to accept it causes him to seek out Soul Edge and causes him to become the monster Nightmare.

The hero gone bad stereo type is very common in fighting games, but I often felt Siegfried/Knightmare was possibly one of the most well written. It's not an evil power that's inherited, but one that was obtained through searching for a solution to ones cause. Siegfried had honorable goals, but he didn't realize the very tools he would use would actually do more harm then good. The hero acknowledges his mistakes, and tries to redeem himself, not after beating himself up about it though. And th is is why he's one of my more favorite characters in gaming.

@Unknowing Reaper Siegfried is what most people would call an antihero as he starts out young and naive, becomes a tool of evil and then finally fights for his redemption. Anti heroes are more realistic, because nobody is perfect. We can all feel more in common with an antihero because he or she makes mistakes like we humans do. He is not without his faults and many people want him dead, but that's what makes his story interesting.

ryan morfei the latest tales anime which focus on Zestiria and Beseria doesn't bring the characters together either for obvious reasons Beseria takes in 1000 years before Zestiria. A potential anime Soul Calibur will most likely have 5 main factions which are #1 Kilik, Xianghua, and Maxi. #2 Yung Soeng,Soeng-Mina, and Talim for the group with Cassandra, Taki, Misturugi, and other side main characters kinda involved with their story. #3 Nightmare, Tara, Astroth, Lizard Man, Ivy, Zalsamel, Voldo and even Cervantes will star in that faction/part. 4th will be possibly Groh and his gang. And finally #5 the main protagonist group while Kilik is indeed the 2nd main protagonist of the series this group will star Siegfried and Hilde.

Just clearing up a few things to what my memory tells me about SC canon. I don't think any of the in-game profiles said that SC1 Nightmare lost to Xianghua, but it is said in Kilik's SC2 profile that he defeated Nightmare during SC1, but "couldn't destroy Soul Edge". This perhaps implies Kilik lost to Inferno afterwards, and Xianghua beats Inferno. Though it is likely both Kilik and Xianghua fought Nightmare together though, which makes sense considering the situation. I'm assuming SC6 will clear this up though. Also, I'm pretty sure you got the whole Abyss SC3 events wrong (even though I do like the idea of Siegfried and SC3 Nightmare teaming up to kick Abyss' butt). Tbh, SC4's profiles were never clear if Zasalamel even became Abyss in canon; it only mentions that Siegfried and Nightmare were both ripped apart by the maelstrom created by the swords' clash, and Zas saw the future and changed his mind about ending his own immortality. However, I'm hoping someone can prove me wrong on this because the idea of Siegfried and Nightmare teaming up to kick Abyss' butt before their big sword clash in SC3's finale sounds awesome.
@SeventhheavenDK5 жыл бұрын
Well, Soul Calibur 6 cleared the events of the first SC. Kilik defeated Nightmare and Xianghua and Kilik indeed teamed up to defeat Inferno. About Zas and Abyss, yes, it is canon that Zas became Abyss and Siegfried and Nightmare together defeated him, reverting Abyss back to Zasalamel.
