I got a look at the recent screenshot of the character editor and it looks like it has everything you could ask for, except height and weight. One of the things the really held Soul Calibur III's character editor back was that all the created characters were the exact same height and build. No fat people, gaint oafs, skinny runts, etc.

With all the other in-depth features MKA's character creator seems to have I'm really hoping they don't accidently overlook this simple, but important feature. Even a few preset body sizes to choose from would be better than nothing. Anyone know anything/sharing my feelings?

you should be able to adjust the buffness.... thatd be kinda stupid if all characters were exactly the same height and weight.

One thing that they really need to look into expanding as much as possible, is Weapons. A lot of people have creative ideas for their character's weapons. Do they have kusarigama-styled tonfas? I need those. Anyone else got some strangely styled weapons for their character?

I'd like to be able to use something similar to Voldo's Heavy Jur weapons from Soul Calibur 2. (They may look small in the pic but they're really huge.)

I also agree with Obreck about the height and weight factor being of importance. We should be able to adjust them for more diversity. It would be even better if it was more like Tony Hawk's Underground how we are able to adjust more than just the height and weight, but the facial features also.

The create-acharacter mode is the same thing as the creat-a-superstar in smackdown vs raw 2006.

I've seend pics of the editor from GI, and you're in luck: facial feature adjustment is in. The editor already has 6 pages of features for creating your character's appearance, 3 of which haven't been seen yet.

I'm just hoping height and weight are on one of those pages, after one of SCIII's character editor's biggest faults being it didn't include height and weight.

Judging by the images, Midway's been doing their homework, so I'm crossing my fingers. Or at least hoping someone important enough will see this post and add it in while there's still 9 months of development time left.

I can't see the picture, but I already know about the Heavy Jur weapons.

BTW, in addition to facial adjustments, you can also alter "Breast Size" for the girls.

OH MADONNA... Prepare for Marysues. Kthxbai.

Sorry, pics usually don't stay on if they're not hosted on a website.

That's a good thing we're able to adjust the facial features too. Yeah, I knew about the breast size alteration, which I think is kool. I think it would be better to be able to adjust the other attributes physique-wise, like in Tony Hawk. I only use guys. But I do create female characters too just for the sake of creation.

When I played online the majority of the people picked guys so there probably wont be as many Marysues as expected. By the way, what's Kthxbai???

I would have some strange orders to fill if I wanted weapons perfect for characters.

Let's see: A whiskey bottle, a blue longsword, a fork, a dead raccoon, a pirate cutlass...

I want to make some real CAC freaks like I do with wrestling games. That why I'm so concerned about whether height and weight editing will be included, since about 90% of my CAC ideas depend on it.

Kthxbai = 'Kay, thanks, bye.

Also, what about Gary Stus? They don't have, like, a groin size alterer or anything, so it's not that bad... but with available bios, I dunno...
