14 for the Soulcalibur ask?
14. What is your favorite stage?
It's hard to pick just one, so I'll do a small selection. I think what tends to factor into my favorite stages is, like, general atmosphere, nice lighting, good background music track, and an enclosed space/sense of scale -- feeling like you're high up is a bonus, and I tend to hate infinite scroll stages (they always feel kind of generic and boring to me). I also think I'm a bit biased toward SCII and SCIII stages because of the sheer amount of time I spent playing those games (their 1-player modes are quite extensive!).
Kaminoi Castle - Sakura-Dai Gate from Soulcalibur II:
youtube
I really like this stage. One of my favorite tracks from this game and I like the stone walls (that you can bounce off of). I like how open and high up this stage is and how you can fall off the edge. Also, the way this stage captures the lighting and colors of twilight. I think why I tend to not like or remember later SC games' stages as much is that the stages are more dynamic and so the lighting changes over the course of the battle, and there isn't just One Beautiful Color Palette you associate with each stage. But the lighting on this stage is optimized to capture perfect sunset vibes with the white walls of the castle tinged a pale purple, and that makes it very memorable for me.
South France Mansion - Library from Soulcalibur II:
youtube
This one is admittedly a bit of a weird stage because like... what's up with that open ledge on one side that you can just fall down from? Why would you design a library this way...? It's very odd. But it's a very memorable stage -- fighting in a library mansion is really cool! And I like how enclosed this stage is, with bookshelves as walls. (I apparently like walls that really feel like part of the stage!) And once again, the golden light filtering in through windows does really make this stage feel like an indoor library in the late afternoon. I really like it!
Eurydice Shrine - Gate of the Gods from Soulcalibur III:
youtube
I love how high up in the mountains this stage looks -- the vistas, the snow gently falling, the strong wind in the stage. It also gives a nice sense of open space, and the flowing water in the background gives this stage a meditative vibe. The music is pretty epic too. Top tier stage.
Thanks for the ask! Ask me Soulcalibur questions.

Hi!
I don't draw cats very often, so I just had to draw one just for you. I chose my favorite Yuumi skin, I hope it's not a problem <3 Thanks for your request and for nice idea!

Rough sketch of a battle between an elves and orcs. Totally inspired by the events of the first age when Morgoth took over Beleriand.

6 and 19 for the Soulcalibur Ask List
6. Who is your favorite character design?
Ooh this is hard! If we're talking which character is my favorite overall across all of their designs, I would probably say Setsuka. Why Setsuka? Her costumes from the start have always been very detailed and elaborate (I guess she benefits from being introduced relatively late in the series, when SC could go all out on the graphics!). The "East meets West" idea behind her design is such a fascinating concept, which is explored in so many different ways in her designs. And she gets such interesting color palettes, whether it's the pink and red of her "Queen of Hearts" SCIII design, the purple and pink of her "Cho-han Dealer" SCIV design, or the black and gold of her "Cool Delinquent Coat Cape" SCVI design.

If we're talking about single favorite design across all games, it's Seong Mi-na's SCIII 2P costume for me. This look is unparalleled IMO. Her hairstyle is so cute. The asymmetric strap and sheer material of her top! The side-slit pants! The green and blue color scheme, which is so different from what she normally wears, but which suits her 100%. *_*

19. Which game do you think has the best opening?
I struggled more than I expected with this question. My first thought was "SCIII!" then I thought "Wait, what about Soul Edge?" and then I thought "Maybe SCII is my favorite???" But now I'm back to saying Soul Edge:
youtube
Selling points:
The "Edge of Soul" song is bomb.
...with visuals matched to the music.
Good intro to the full roster of characters -- with the exception of the villains (poor Voldo).
Dance break in the middle featuring ~The Ladies~
Despite the primitive graphics, this opening is action-packed and epic.
Thanks for the ask! ๐Ÿ˜Š Ask me Soulcalibur questions.

I love how I went into the miette tag because it was trending and there were so many posts about miette trending from years ago. She's just always relevant, always trending, a cultural icon
