Assassin, Berseker and Lizardman would be DLC as well, and probably more characters.


No idea what you're talking about now. You need to explain that post.

Those are characters from Soul Calibur II...

Okay I only remember Lizardman.

But that doesn't explain why Soul Calibur II has less characters overall and less bonus characters than Soul Calibur IV. Why weren't those DLC ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Soul_characters

With each entry in a fighting game franchise new characters are added, this is why SC IV have more characters than SC II. The extra characters that SC IV have didn't exist when SC II was made.

A more interesting question would be why Soul Calibur IV is missing several modes that Soul Calibur II have like Time Attack, Survival, Team Battle and Team Battle VS.

 

Now onto why Assassin, Berseker, Lizardman, Sophitia and Seung Mina would be DLC if SC II were made today.

SC II appeared first in the arcades without those characters. It got patched four times (versions A, B, C, D) before the console release.

Sophitia and Seung Mina won a popularity contest in Japan and were added as secret characters to the japanese version of the game.

Assassin, Berseker and Lizardman were added to the game in the american and european versions.

 

If SC II were made today we would get the first and buggy Soul Calibur II version A without those characters. If it sold enough then it would get patched and Sophitia, Seung Mina, Assasssin, Berseker and Lizardman would be added as DLC.
