Soul calibur III didn't have gimmick characters. Did you hate that one as well?

I didn't really HATE any of them till IV.  III was okay.  It was really just a port of 2 though with new non-gimmick characters.  The reason I hate IV isn't that it has the gimmicks, but that the gimmicks got in the way of making a successful and competitive fighting game.

It's very likely going to be successful (saleswise, I don't know if that's what you meant). And there is nothing stoping it from being a competitive fighting game. Every competitive fighting game league has rules, the exclusion of characters can be in those rules. If you have a problem with the fighting system that's another story, one not easily fixed by rules (but not unfixable. example, some smash bros leagues don't allow edge hogging).
