Fighting games are perhaps the best genre for introducing bonus characters from other franchises. Soul Calibur is especially known for this, including everyone from Yoda to Link in the various releases of their games. Without further ado, let's dream up the top five guest characters we want in Soul Calibur V.
#5 – Raiden
Metal Gear Solid has a vast host of characters to choose from, but perhaps none more fitted for for Soul Calibur V than Raiden, star of the upcoming MGS: Rising. A cyborg ninja in the same line as Gray Fox, Raiden is agile and damned hard to kill. He also wields a katana, with which he can slice through everything from tanks to watermelons. Better yet, series creator Kojima is no stranger to tie-in promotions, so the idea of Raiden featuring in Soul Calibur V isn't that far-fetched.
