I was thinking recently and something occurred to me. There is a good reason why Soma may have been omitted from Judgment. For those who may not remember, when Soma is in a dangerous situation his "power of dominance" awakens allowing him to absorb the souls of the monsters he slays and thus gains their powers. However, when the situation is resolved, the souls are released and he loses the abilities he absorbed.
Because of this, Soma could have been omitted. After all, he would have any powers. The only way it would work is if he was transported to the area the game takes place in during either of his adventures. Considering that this is unlikely, I doubt Soma could work as a character for Castlevania Judgment.

Soma should've been in it. Who cares about the story.
-
*sigh* There's always bitching in a fighting game. There's no way they can please everyone.
"Why can't Soma be in it?"
*Soma gets put in*
"Well dammit, if Soma's in, Julius HAS to be in it! Who's Soma's adversary gonna be?!"
*Julius gets put in*
"How come Yoko doesn't get any love?!"
See the pattern?
-
Well, if he was pulled in there, isn't it very likely that his powers of dominance would awaken due to the impending danger, anyway?
-
Only because if he was in he'd smite Aeon for looking so darn similar.
"Y-you... STOLE MY STYLE!!! *pounce* RAAAAAARWRGH!!"
Besides, would we get to see the anime soma or the original one? And more importantly, would his coat be furry like in AOS? :P
-
If he had been in it, his design would have likely been a mix of his AoS and DoS designs. Which could turn out pretty cool looking, IMO. I always hated his disco boots in AoS...

Well, hardly any of the characters in Judgment were even remotely recognizable, so Soma could've looked like absolutely anyone. Or anything. But yeah, AoS-Soma wasn't the greatest design ever... his pants were positively embarrasing. :o
-
The fur coat would have to be a must :D
-
Soma and Dracula being in the same room would cause a temporal paradox that would collapse the universe.
-
Yeah Aeon would not allow it.
"Time was on the verge of being destroyed"

Notice the universe doesn't collapse when two Aeons fight each other? The universe should be able to handle Drac and Soma in the same room, then. ;)

i just think he is childish and has the silliest story ever...and not even Julius saved those games...sorry, it just doesn't fit right for a Castlevania game...
-
AoS's story wasn't THAT bad. THough DoS's was. Hell, PoR had a better story than DoS.
Aaaaaaaand here comes a Soma fanboi to lynch me. Gotta go!

Sucky? What the hell are you smoking? Soma's one of the most broken characters in the series. And Ridiculous? Only if you think plot twists in general are ridiculous, in which case I bet you hate No More Heroes or the Tales games.
-
I dont' think Soma's that great of a character, but it would have been interesting to see him in Judgment. He could have been a Shang Tsung type of character who could have used everyone else's moves.

Soma's about as effeminate as any other Castlevania main that Kojima did the art for. Hell, he's manlier than her Simon, that's for sure...
-
Character hating & faboyism
Even stupidest than the Symphony/IGAvanias ones

Bellbottoms are better than hooker boots and a woman's jacket is better than tight black leather outfits with extra feathery boas.
Face it, Kojima's style just makes characters look feminine, no matter what gender they are.

Do you know what that happened?
Because Soma was supossed to be a woman but IGA changed it at last moment. Kojima had already the final design for her, so she just got out the long hair and the bress and: Tata! there was born Soma.
And I'm not joking, that was true!

Julius and his manly facial hair disagree.

It's true: he was a whiny prick, but the plot device of potentially becoming Dracula was different.
Mostly I just want him there because he was very powerful, and think how they could use the DOMINANCE thing during a fight (could steal people's powers).
-
Soooo, Soma sucks because he wears a womans jacket and is effeminate? I fail to see the connection, but whatever... LOL @ Castlevania fans and their obsession with MANLY men....
-
I thought this game was supposed to cater to old school fans in some vague way, with Aeon being there as a newbie and Shanoa there to cash in on OoE. Like 1980s-1990s. Or to be on a stupid note, Legends ov Castlevania.
Soma isn't that old as far as I know, unless you count 6 years as roughly 60, You goddamn hipsterhead.
-
Soma isn't Jappanese xD
-
Actually, I heard that in the Japanese version he is. For some reason the versions outside of Japan refer to him as an exchange student living in Japan. However, it would make more sense if he actually was Japanese. After all, Mina who seems to be his closest friend lives in Japan and they seem to have known each other for many years. It's most likely that either a mistake or intended change occurred when the game was translated from Japanese.
-
Who's to say we DON'T dress like that in 20 years?
-
Geez...I'm not asking for the characters to be super macho men but at least have them wear the appropriate clothing and act the part.
Call me weird (or just european if you will), but I don't think it's inappropriate for guys to wear women's clothing ;D Not that Soma is actually wearing a dress or anything. (though that would've been rather interesting).

>:( I'm with you there; I call front row seats!! ;D
Hmmmmm... now that i think on it, Soma's "dominance" kinda reminds me of Kirby in a way...
-
Still, The Soma thing is just matter of artwork, the character, inside, is qute interesting :)
