Soul Calibur 5

[MIRACLEfool]

You know, I can't wait to play a 24 yr old AStaroth, just so I can say "Yeah, I'm not a child anymore bitches"

Sophitia is pretty much guaranteed to be replaced by her son, since he's supposed to play like her. Since Soul Calibur/Edge are now shorter and smaller swords, the Calibur will most likely be carried by Patroclus while Pyrrha (his sister) will most likely be the one carrying Soul Edge.

And to keep the age more spread out, the new characters will most likely be young.

This is all speculation, of course.

I hope to god he's not a model swap...can you imagine a guy breaking somebody's kneck with his thighs and kneeing them in the nuts? EWWWWWW.....

[iw2ma]

LOL I kinda do hope for that. In fact i want him to have Cassandras critical finish with the hearts and the butt rape.

Kilik has been in the cast for a long time as well man, never doubt the KILIK

Nothing really new, but some people might've missed it:

SoulCalibur V First Impressions

By Jane Douglas, GameSpot UKPosted May 11, 2011 9:35 pm CET

Following the announcement of SoulCalibur V, Hisaharu Tago of Project Soul talks us through some key changes for the fighting game series.

The teaser trailer with which Namco Bandai announced SoulCalibur V (out next year for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360) was a tease indeed. It offered only glimpses of returning character Siegfried, much older than he was in the fourth SoulCalibur game; new character Patroklos; and the now-shorter SoulCalibur sword. Speaking to the press after the game's announcement, the producer, Hisaharu Tago of Project Soul, was slightly more informative, though plenty of questions went unanswered and were deflected with reassurances of details to come at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo in June.

With the game set 17 years after the events of SoulCalibur IV, Siegfried is now 39, says Tago-San, and he no longer wields the SoulCalibur but another, unspecified two-handed sword. The new guy, Patroklos, is the son of Sophitia. The SoulCalibur and Soul Edge are no longer two-meter-long megaswords but "short" swords, and the game's story will explain how they came to be truncated.

The game's plot follows on from Siegfried's ending in SoulCalibur IV, beginning a generation later. Tago-san explains that this "generational shift" allows for a break from SoulCalibur traditions, introducing new characters, including Patroklos, and setting the scene for a new battle system. This system is "lighter, sharper, and more elegant," says Tago-san, and SoulCalibur V's new characters will play into the new fighting styles.

Patroklos' style, for instance, is based on his mother Sophita's, but it's lighter and faster in feel. (We have to take Tago-san's word for it, with nothing more to go on than the teaser trailer.) The faster, lighter fighting styles will be more accessible to new players, Tago-san says, for whom the slower, more deliberate strike-pause-strike feel of the usual SoulCalibur battle system may have been off-putting. By way of improving accessibility, combos will also be easier to perform. Between the lighter, quicker fighting and some improvements in the online system, fighting should generally feel more immediate and reactive; unlike previous SoulCalibur titles, where it felt heavier.

Other characters from the previous games will return, though Tago-san wouldn't be drawn on which characters. (Wait for E3, he says.) There will also be guest characters, as with the Star Wars characters in SoulCalibur IV. (Wait for E3 announcements, again.)

That wouldn't be too hard to picture I mean he already looks more FABULOUS than Raphael. For him to be a greek warrior I was expecting a design that's a little more masculine.

Apparently you never played the PSP version with cheats.

KRATOS DOING THAT

FREAKING KRATOS

AND NIGHTMARE TOO

[Ragnorok64]

I'm kind of hoping they do hot 40-something version of some of the original characters simply because it'd be something different. What other middle aged female characters are there in fighters?

New Interview with Producer Hisaharu Tago for SoulCalibur V

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVDcABCkFHA

[Senzait]

WE HAVE A NEW CHARACTER CONFIRMED!!!

PYRRAH! Sophitia's daughter!

Here is the sketch from the official SC5 website:

Tweet from Daishi:

Daishi_CALIBUR Daishi　Odashima

Instead I’ll tell you a little secret; I’m currently working on Pyrrah’s balance. Patroklos seems stronger at the moment.

So folks it seems that Sophie and Cass will not be returning but instead will be substituted by Patroklus and Pyrrah. Thats what I think at least

Dont forget to support the community by liking SC if you have a facebook!!

[arctus32]

so does this mean Cassandra's single forever :P

Since both her sister's kids seem to be playable

[Tsuki Garyuu]

Something eerily tells me she's not going to have any sort of armor. lol

[RadRed]

She doesn't, really.

[Starlight777]

Oh dear god my hunch about her being playable too was right. Looks like we have our 2 new wielders of Soul Calibur and Soul Edge. Also that picture makes it look like she might have cutesy or clumsy attacks. Please don't let Pyrrah have an ass Critical Finish if those still exist.

Completely agree lol, that argument is all over 8wayrun too

[SolxBaiken]

I just want her to play like Cassandra (aka not boring like Sophitia)

Hmm come on completely new character (in terms of gameplay/weapon style)

[Starlight777]

Ok so I found this SC4 concept sketch of Ivy and I hope that if she comes back she turns out looking like this.

http://p.twipple.jp/data/z/J/T/4/J.jpg

This is basically the sexiest I've ever seen Ivy aside from her 3rd costume in SC2. Also Pyrrah having a few cutesy attacks like Cass is fine as long as they don't overdo it.

[MIRACLEfool]

Lulz Ivy's boobs got smaller instead of bigger this time around

[SolxBaiken]

That's impossible, Ivy's never been that covered up...

If that concept is used for 5 clearly that's her substitute

= w= (actually I really want that to be the case, I want as few old SC characters as possible...)

[Blade]

I just wish there was a character who literally either played like Haku-men or played like Yoshitora Tokugawa from Samurai Showdown 5.

[Starlight777]

So we'll most likely get footage on E3 sweet.

[Hecatom]

well according to a previous tweet or something, the game is only at 10% of development, so who knows

Edited May 21, 2011 by Hecatom

[SolxBaiken]

Well they already stated they'll have something to show at E3, but yeah I read the 10% thing and wept girly tears ; w;

[Hecatom]

probably they would show some early 3d models of some of the new members of the cast and some old members to build hype

[SolxBaiken]

Taunt, taunt. Tease, tease.

Also I think after E3 we should remake this thread...I do love making pretty threads :3c
