Soul Calibur 5 Official Discussion

Well if the game is good I will definitely be playing it competitively and trying to encourage my scene to play it as well

Excellent link! It definitely brought my hopes up.

Im going to end up buying it anyway as I buy buy every fighter that’s released but I really hope the game turns out fine and they don’t ditch my favourite character.

Daishi changed his hairdo in his twitter avatar, looks like Ivy’s, so I guess Ivy is going to be revealed next.

I think Daishi is making a mistake. First, he announced this could be Patrolkos 2P costume

Then somebody said the design looks like a character from Saint Seiya, and now Daishi says he might go with this design:

I really like the first design much better. If you do, send him a tweet asking for the first design.

aint nothin wrong with saint seiya lookin’.

We need some new info mang, I need to see Tira. Or at the very least, confirm Nightmare won’t be a total bitch again for me.

I know I check every day for new info just to be disappointed.

the “saint seiya” costume would be awesome

There’s a lot of reason to believe both concepts will be available, with one as DLC.

The only characters in Soul Cal who need to have dead animals on their heads are Rock and/or Bangoo.

That costume contrasts way too much from the original outfit, which isn’t a bad thing per se, but…eh, I don’t like it. The other costume he posted looks much better.

Why not just replace him with Amy anways? Amy was already made to be soooo much better than Raph cuz Namco hates Raph.

That looks kinda boss. All that’s missing is a handlebar mustache to complete the old-world royal uniform look. I’d vote for this is I had Twitter.

If Namco hated Raph he wouldn’t last past SC2. More likely they didn’t see Amy being a beast in SC4. These things happen. Why make these kinds of conclusions, “Namco hates _____,” “Capcom only loves.” I mean, set aside that it’s individual teams, but I’m tired of lines like that.

The alternative costume looks good but I can’t get past that stupid-looking hat. It looks like a wedding veil or something.

It’ll probably be a third, unlockable costume. Namco normally isn’t greedy.

Those attire DLC for SC4? They are *still premium, with no sign that Namco will unlock the items. Yoda/Vader are also still premium on their respective consoles, and probably will be even after SCV drops. I’m not saying Namco are greedy for this, but let’s not put certain things past them.

*It’s my belief that if items are on disc, and there’s no reason to believe it’ll raise significant revenue after some time (especially after some years), you might as well unlock them via an update and call it a day. That’s my stance on it, though.

I’ll make these kinds of conclusions since Raph has struggled to make mid tier at best since ver A. Why keep having a character and never bother to make them decent and address their real faults? Cuz Namco hates Raph. Whether literally or figuratively who cares? Mind you Raph might have been ok in SCIV (the whole game is digital donkey shit), I never heard anybody bitch about him post patch so I can guess he’s not THAT great anymore. Meanwhile X and Cass got crouch grabs they didn’t need in SC3. Raph didn’t even have a GB in SC3 console. Every one else did. His 3A+B didn’t even RO anymore in SCIV unpatched. Maybe they gave it back to him in SCIV patch but prolly not. Anyways, Namco does indeed hate on Raph. I bet they gonna fuck 'im up even harder in V.

Meanwhile Amy right out of the gate is upper tier and highly dominant in SCIV. She wasn’t too bad in SC3 AE I think, I can’t verify cuz no one cares about SC3 AE.

I do hope they bring back George Washington Ivy tho.

“In one ear…”

Forget it. Think how you wish, life goes on.

Thats what im thinking just because they dont make him top tier doesnt mean he is disliked -_-

Watch-Impress has some extra SCV art I haven’t seen posted, and short character bios (that you might be able to figure out with Google translate) http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20110616_453420.html

Again, it’s hinting that Mitsurugi’s 8th-youngest brother might not be dead and is possibly combat-trained. And it’s still a mystery over which Sophie offspring is good or evil.
