Silk, for men’s *barongs maybe, (although we prefer husi or piña). *Silk see through pants? In one of the most hardline conservatively Catholic countries in the whole world? I think not.
Noticed that as well. That’s why we were wondering if they changed the GI system.
Perhaps Talim was a rebel trend setter. Way ahead of her time.
The much more likely explanation is fanservice.
That works, too. I can’t hate.
Did all the new gameplay features remind anybody of Star Gladiator or is it just me?
Talim’s outfits are more influenced from the Mindanao Malay wear in my opinion. They can have really elaborate dresses.
Yeah, some of them - specially the new super system - kind of remind me of Star Gladiator.
Not that I mind though, I really like what I see.
Yeah I’m pretty amped for this game. I really liked SC2, but the third and fourth ones were pretty meh for me. Regardless this game looks fantastic!
I’m hyped now hope there’s gonna be more characters and gameplay footage at E3.
Tira im looking at you :rolleyes:
OP here. Been following discussions on 8way run and such, so I’ll post a few facts I’ve found to answer some questions.
Confirmed Characters: Patroklos, Pyrrha, Mitsurugi, Siegfried, Nightmare.

Reason for the stiff faces: Facial animations have not been added to the game yet. That’s why they’re expressionless, and the gameplay trailer (by design) avoids their faces as much as possible.

The gameplay seems to resemble Soul Edge. I wasn’t excited when I saw the first trailer, but after seeing the gameplay I’m eager to see more.
Oh shit! I had no idea there was a Soul Calibur 5 thread on this site already. I’m really hype for this game! What little gameplay that was shown in that trailer has piqued my interest. I mained Talim and Yun-Seung since SC2. I hope to God they’re both in this one. I’m so maining this game when it comes out.
I think you are pretty far off. Pat is “the bad guy.” My guess is the story is he leaves to go chase the sword because he wants it’s power against his mother’s wishes hence “goodbye mother.” Pyr grabs Sophie’s old weapons and chases after him to stop him. That is probably far more likely of story. Remember the original soul edge was essentially a bunch of people wanting the sword for its power not knowing of its danger. The new characters will fall into this plotline again.
Even though Namco skipped the Mokujin Style Character last game, If they bring it back I want Olcadan. There really aren’t enough Bird headed characters in Fighting Games these days.
Still holding out for Milf Tira.
O RLY?
I’m calling it now. their nicknames will be Pat n’ Pie. (Patroklos and Pyrrha)
New facebook pics are up,
Looks like we got young Ivy, talim, taki, possibly setsuka or a daughter amy,and the Vamp and a few more.
Still no Tira
Son I am disappoint.
I get so tired of that. It’s just the third laziest way to expand the cast (and Namco is really pushing things with Christie and Eddy still being damn near interchangable…they need to switch it up and have Christie do Regional and Eddy do Angola). The first being MK’s pallette swaps, second being SF’s ken/ryu/gouki/evil ryu head swaps.
