"Namco graciously invited Kayane to come to GamesCom to try out the build of Soul Calibur 5 that they brought with them, but was unable to share her impressions of the game until August 30th because of a media embargo that was in place. Now that the embargo is over, Kayane stayed up until 6AM her local time in France just to share with the community her impressions of the game."

Ok...I'm officially hyped:

Guard Burst: If you keep guarding, the life bar flashes from yellow to red until the guard breaks. The system is called “Guard Burst”. Attacks like 3B will easily become a guaranteed hit. It recovers from red to yellow to normal after a certain time.

Guard Impact: [Returns from previous games] Single command 4A+B+K which repels all H, M, L attacks. Uses 25% of the gauge. Doesn’t work on throws, unblockables and CE. It’s pretty powerful. The existing system was OK for advanced players but others couldn’t use the repel & parry effectively.

When successful, your guard stun time reduces to a set frame. All attacks can be GI.

Just Guard: [Meant for advanced players] Just before an attack hits, press G to do a standing or crouching JG (2 frame buffer). Just Guarding big attacks will give more frame advantage than small attacks. Mapping G to multiple buttons and using slide input won’t work. Pressing G rapidly won’t work either.

Critical Gauge: Fills up to 200% at MAX. Critical Edge = 100%, Brave Edge = 50%, Guard Impact = 25%. Being active and taking action fills up the gauge. Hitting the opponent, making them block, doing ukemi etc.

Critical Edge: The command is 236236A+B+K. The timing has been balanced to be very easy so any one can pull it off. You can think of it as a powerful version of standard attacks. Damage and speed varies (10 – 40F start-up, 40 – 160 damage).

Properties also vary: some have impact properties, some have invincibility against high attacks, etc. Until the start-up animation plays (screen freeze), it can be stopped with standard moves. Once it plays it’s unstoppable.

Miscellaneous info: Separate background music for each character.

Replays available after each round.

"Speed. It's what has separated 2D fighting games from their 3D counterparts for so many years. That's not to imply that 3D fighting games aren't fast per se, they've just never really been at the same level... until now.
Soul Calibur V is fast. Not crazy Marvel vs. Capcom 3 fast, but it's definitely a Usain Bolt-sprint faster than the competition. It's the kind of improvement that might go unnoticed at first glance, but when paired with the game's other new mechanics, helps define the experience as something completely fresh to franchise fanatics."

Error with your link, the correct one is.

Yay instant blocking

More like parry/Just Defend.

With this, plus Super and EX moves, plus the timeskip, the game is feeling more like Daishi's love letter to 3rd Strike/Garou.

P.S.

DAT ASS!

New character is called Viola, she is currently working together with Zwei, she can manipulate magic jewels and apparently has no memories of her past, said to have cold eyes that make you wonder about said missing past.

I heard that the girl's name is Viola, but that may not be right. Also people are already speculating that this is Amy with a name change just because Daishi once said on his twitter that some veterans may come back with a different weapon. Then again I could see this new girl being mistaken for Amy, her dress is so damn similar lol.

All I've got to say is that it's about damn time we get someone magical in SC.

EDIT: Amnesiac? Oh boy that makes 2 in one game. :v: Also thanks SoBa for confirming her name. Lol what if she is Amy with no memory?

There's a lot of speculation that she could be Amy, her face, eye color, dress, stockings and stance are all very similar to Amy. The possibility of her being Amy is very high.

That fact Viola is an amnesiac and that this game takes 17 years after SCIV makes this a strange and interestingly high possibility. If this does turn out to be Amy, i think it'll be so that we only have one fencer if Raph returns. I wonder what could've happened to those two in 17 years.

Did anyone else have a Castlevania flashback regarding this girl?

Hm.

Using an orb as a weapon (from what I can tell here...)... may replace Tira as main...
