Eh, what you had in mind was fine for a character of your own. But yeah, I was going for a old-school "Shoot" fighter kind of wrestler that used jazzed-up collegiate holds that deal damage, but don't look particularly impressive.
 
Personality-wise, he's old and bitter about how he and his wife got "Screw-Jobbed" out of their respective titles while in their prime working for the CWA and holds some resentment towards Zangief & Rainbow Mika's trainer. Basically "Old man yells at cloud: The Character", while at the same time using "Insider" talk and terms that, ironically, expose the "Business-side" of pro-wrestling more than the people he calls rivals.
 
Again, the background and storymode is pretty much there, but a moveset is lacking... Maybe have one V-Trigger power up his Command Throws beyond even the EX versions and/or add a follow-up attack after certain ones like a KOF grappler? (Clark, Shermie & Blue Mary come to mind.)

Man, y'all have been busy since I last checked into this thread. (And onto this site in general, but that's beside the point.)
 
I have an idea for some old, grizzled Pro-Wrestler who gets a bug up his butt to go after Zangief, Rainbow Mika and Alex for "EXPOSING THE BUSINESS!" and compete in the next  World Martial Arts tournament, but I don't have a moveset or a defined design for him yet. I know that compared to other grapplers, his moves would be intentionally spare or old-school with only the minimum amount of spins or flips and such. (So think Suplexes, Piledrivers, a Fireman's Carry and a singular Dropkick compared to "The Flippy 🤬 most of y'all think you need to do to get over.")

This victory strengthens the soul of... Titty! ... Uh, Taki. You win!

I'm loving her, as I mentioned to you, I love that she fills the role of arrogant martial arts princess now that Karin's been made nicer and Juri's heading to the anti-hero path. She sounds really fun!

Here's my contribution from the old SRK.
 
"Here’s a character I first made on unity that I’ve been continually updating for a project I’m working on. Yagami helped me update him further and today was spent fleshing out his place in SF canon. At first I named him Louis Green, a tribute to Al Green and Louis Armstrong (had a strong music motif) going to re-sprite him again soon.

Finally was able to create something decent. Taekwondo rival to Juri.

Nothing was guaranteed. I was sure she'd be in SCV. She wasn't 😑

My Main Goddess Ultra Amazoness Queen Alpha-Bitch Kunoichi Taki is back and she gon' be mine. Scrub gon' cry when they step out of line... 

Wellp, time to pre-order this bad boy. My Main's back.

Huh... So Remy was supposed to use the "Poisoned Hands" gimmick F.A.N.G. eventually got and was initially going to have a split personality? Neat.
 
Here are some Makoto designs http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/126069

Having way too much fun right now...     

I feel like I'm in the same boat. A lot of ideas, but not enough time to think them over and type them out.

Yo... what about those golden shadaloor soldiers Capcpcpcpcpcom?

As a long-time fan of the SoulCalibur series, I'm excited for SCVI. However, I'm also kind of guarded about the game because of Namco-Bandai's track record of treating the series like a red-headed stepchild compared to all of the attention, marketing dollars and development each and ever Tekken game gets.
 
Personally, I'm waiting on Taki, Astaroth, Raphael, Cervantes and new characters.

Yeah Menats can be relatively rare online depending on the league level. I've run into only a couple since she came out. Cammy is still sort of common but there is an ocean of Guile at early Gold. Guarding the gates with sawnic bewms.

I just wish I could use Ed's V-Skill and V-Trigger II effectively. It's about the only reason why I don't have him as a pocket character myself. That, and I can't do dash-up combos for jack shit.

Thank you. I feel that for as not-good as I am at playing SFV (Last in both of my previous tournaments), I can understand the game, how the systems flow to create a fully-featured moveset and understand what the strengths and weaknesses of that moveset might be.
 
For Katja, I wanted to get the feeling across that for all of the tools she has and all of the potential there could be for shenanigans with either V-Trigger, she's a high-risk moderate-rewards fighter that can get stuffed easily.  Basically a character lab-monsters could flock to, make videos of the character doing flashy stuff, then sort of either drop the game again or go back to playing a functionally better character.
 
I have a couple other characters typed up, but nothing as complete as this first one... Ah well, watch this space. I'll be back.

I didn't really have a chance to respond earlier, but I wanted to commend you on your work. I checked out the art work at SRK1. I don't think you give yourself enough credit. Katja is as fleshed out anything I've done. Before clicking the spoiler figured you'd just constructed a move set or just a narrative. You went all out on both. Plus you also described all of her techniques in detail. Since I could give you two thumbs up. I gave you one here and one at SRK1.

Well, it took me long enough... Here's my take on a "New Dan Hibiki"-ish sort of character, but instead of one particular group of fighters she's a parody of a whole bunch of SNK's sprawling cast.
 
Name: Katja Hartkern 
 
 
So.... Yeah. I feel that this is still not as technically-minded as some of DARC_REQUIEM's bios, but I feel this is an OK start. As always, rate/review/flame/encourage and suggest changes if you feel they're needed. Katja also has a couple of alternate costumes, but I'm too tired to post them right now.
 
Lastly, if anyone's interested, the piece of concept art someone drew of Katja is visible on the old SRK forum version of this thread.
