Soul Calibur V

[Bloody_Inferno]

But I thought Namco already announced Siegfried's ending was cannon? At least that's what I've been reading everywhere. Not that it would surprise me if they said it was cannon then did a 180 and say everything fixed itself after a month or something.

Sounds like the Street Fighter stories all over again (sans mistranslations). Judging from the OP teaser, looks like they're gonna do just that. I wasn't paying attention at the time about Namco announcing Sigfried's ending confirmed canon, but looks like all that's changed now.

Changes, mistranslations, jokes and fanfiction did give birth to some memorable moments in fighting games (Gouki/Akuma).

EDIT: Also notice that both Soul Edge and Soul Calibur are now short swords this time around.

Phyrra Alexandra... Sophitia's daughter now confirmed as a character.

And the first official screenshot:

Oh, hello Mitsurugi!

[Grand Moff Tim]

[ittoa666]

This looks alright. Might have to give it a try.

 

[ShadowFactoryX]

needs moar oversized titz

WAIT!!
thats not what i meant

honestly, ive been a huge fan of the soul calibur series.

since finding out about this release, ive been back playing 4
i had to start fresh cause my old 360 hdd went kaput
what really sucks, is that its going to be hard to get enough honors to get all the gear, cause no one plays online at all anymore

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

Gameplay footage anyone?

Gameplay footage anyone?

Interesting video, that is a LOT of new characters. Also, faster? Wasn't Soulcalibur fast already? Will definitely continue to watch this game.

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

Brand new character... no idea who... but I guess all will be revealed in the fullness of time.

Yeah I saw her yesterday, Taki replacement? There's another silhouette character that hasn't been revealed yet. Looks a lot like Raphael but more... spikey?

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

Ok so her name is Natsu.

Plus a new character named Zwei:

And a classic returns:

Couldn't get any smaller pics. Sorry.

Ah so it's this Zwei guy, he looks pretty cool. Model not quite as great, but I'm still eager to see how he plays.

Ivy looks the same as always.

EDIT:
In one image Natsu appears to not be holding her swords and is twirling them. Kind of strange.

Also looks like Zwei actually fights with a more "average" grip. At least he does in all the screenshots.

 

[daemon barbeque]

Woohoo! Mitsurugi is as awesome as ever! I only play the game with Mitsurugi, so the new characters interest me only if they are
a)Females
b)Females with nice bodies
c)Females with nice bodies and less coverage LOL

I am all in! It looks fantastic!

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

Xianghua returns, now with 16 year old daughter Leixhua. Assume that both characters are playable.

Also:







Natsu and Zwei in action.

 

[signalgrey]

why are their 4 characters with a short sword and shield? Sophitia, and then the two kids and the other one i never played that was basically sophitia 2. Lizard man too if you count him in is 5.

 

[ittoa666]

As long as taki or a character that plays just like her is in the game, I'll be happy.

 

[bigreddestroyer]

No no no no NO!
It looks to me like they've put in the game Street Fighter-esque Super moves and (most likely) hyper combos...
WHY?!?!?!

I think the idea is Sophitia/Cassandra won't be playable.

No no no no NO!

They look absolutely nowhere near as damaging, can't really judge how easy meter is to build/supers are to land/punish etc though.

The footage also confirm the return of Voldo, Maxi, Tira and Hilde.
