One of the few fighting game series I missed out playing. I don't know much about the Toshinden series, but since it is a weapon based 3D it leaves you with a special niche in fighting games. Your biggest competitor is going to be the Soul series (which your game can be made now would be perfect since the Soul series is on a down swing right now).

With that in mind your characters that I've seen (I've skimmed through some of the newcomer characters since I assume those are your created ones. I'll try to get the rest at a later time.) are well done. The little bios are interesting and some of them have unique weapons (i saw a bladed yo yo and chainsaw sword i think).

As I also have my own weapon based fighting game in the making I think a few things may help you if you haven't come across these already. The first is that while Soul Calibur has been the standard for weapon fighters, over the years it's discarded some things to streamline itself and come into it's own story. Weapons like the Seven Brancher, the Shovel Axe that has an Iron Maiden head and Soul Calibur (evil form) haven't shown up in the series for a while. They could be used as ideas for weapons. Also the original Soul Edge had something I liked a lot which was the weapon break system and the weapons having stats. It might be something you could use.

Second there's another 3D weapons fighting game that has been forgotten by most people. Bushido Blade is also a game you can draw ideas from.
