From Yun, Bayonetta and Hero to Meta Knight and Hilde - Why is it nearly impossible to ban fighting game characters?
Overpowered boss characters have existed in fighting games since the very beginning of the genre as we know it forcing developers to make them non-selectable for players or easily banned in Versus Mode. It's much more difficult to police a normal fighter that is arguably broken or top tier, however.
With the recent controversy surrounding Dragon Quest Hero's potential bannable design aspects in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, content creator Stumblebee has put together a new video to go over why it seems nearly impossible to ban characters in fighting games in a competitive sense.

Guilty Gear girls hit the beach, Android 21 strikes a pose, and Hotdog29's Bison gets a literal interpretation via Phamoz's gorgeous fighting game art
The fighting game community is filled with creative types and today we're highlighting one fighting game fan who enjoys taking characters out of their usual combat-fueled atmosphere and imagining them in more recreational arenas.
Phamoz is a very talented artist from Hong Kong who can not only recreate our favorite fighters with a beautifully soft style but also adds to their character by sometimes placing them in unusual settings.
Soul Calibur 6 has three more characters lined up as DLC for their second season, but who might they be? Let's speculate on likely contenders
Soul Calibur 6 has had a strong first year, with several favorites who weren't part of the launch roster joining throughout the year with Tira, Amy and Cassandra arriving as post-launch content alongside the quite unexpected guest character 2B from Nier: Automata. It's been so successful, in fact, that we were treated to a Season 2 reveal at EVO 2019 last month, and mentioned as having happened only due to immense fan support.
With the Season 2 reveal, we saw that SNK's Haohmaru from Samurai Shodown will be entering the fray as a guest character, with three more mysterious slots promised for other characters. Although not explicitly confirmed, the implication was that Haohmaru will be the only guest character of this season, with the rest being fighters tied to the Soul universe. There could of course be brand new characters in the mix as well, but since we still have beloved favorites from past games missing from the roster, it feels apt to take a look at who's still missing in action.

Soul Calibur 6 now allows players to turn off custom characters for online matches after latest patch
The ability to create and customize one's own unique fighters in Soul Calibur has been one of the bigger draws of the franchise for over a decade now, but not everyone wants to see some of those creations when trying to advance their online rankings.
Cassandra finally came to Soul Calibur 6 this past week, and with her came the beefy Version 1.50 update which added in a feature that many players had been asking for since the game launched in 2018.
