Soul Calibur 5 Official Discussion

The higher-ups are plotting something… Maybe a Tira reveal … well I can hope

They might be talking about the season premier of Weeds.

More balance tuning work today. I wonder how Sieg is going to turn out in the end?

That looks like the Critical Finish from SCIV, but applied to the new Critical Edge mechanic?

Sophitia needs to breastfeed her babies.

Actually I think that’s her ending.

New Silhouettes from IPW.


The girl has to be a Taki replacement.

Love the rationale for this ‘new generation’ of Soul Calibur. Bring back all the men and make them middle-aged (or immortal), but toss all the females who have been with the series since Soul Edge, and swap them for somebody young and hot, because eww old used-up women. But seriously, there’d better be some new characters (with an original moveset) in this game. I guess I was hoping too much for a SF3/MotW-style revamp.

Seems like a new character and maybe Raphael?

I don’t see the Taki replacement at all. Why would a Taki replacement be wearing hip armor? That ain’t ninja wear.

That’s an interesting point. Geta sandals aren’t ninja-like either. But her pose looks like she’s related to Taki somehow, or will end up with her moveset at least. We all agree that she (that’s a she isn’t it?) is probably Japanese though, right?

Def. a she. Boob outline doesn’t lie.

We don’t know that’s a Taki replacement. Please phrase it as opinion because that’s how misinformation starts.

Personally, she seems like an adult Talim.

Some observations, girl has some form of samurai scale/plate armor on her left shoulder as well as her hips, but her right shoulder seems bare. Reminds me somewhat of Mitsurugi. Another thing is her hair, which seems done in some form of topknot and also reminds me somewhat of Mitsurugi. Pretty sure we have some form of Samurai girl here.

The other one, I’m willing to bet that it’s Raph.

Assuming the french bastard is the olther sill, looks like the man’s still a Vampire or has been hanging out in Skyrim a bit too much.

Yeah, I don’t see her as a ninja either. She does remind me to something Daishi said once, something about jungle/tribal girls.

Her armor and slippers are too samurai to be jungle/tribal though.

I get the feeling the female Silhouette will be a genki girl from the pose. I’m gonna say it’s a new character

Bungie made the concept look good with their ViDoc series. Lionhead made it a pleasant view into their day-to-day. Ubisoft took themselves way too seriously with theirs. And now, Project Soul has a short dev video blog (possibly a series) for SCV!

It’s about time this trend went into fighting games. It’s longer to make than text blogs but I love them.

No traps in that era?

Japan still thinks the west doesn’t like traps, and Soul is a West geared game.

the new guy has a SHORYUKEN! I demand that raphael gets blanka’s electricity

can you imagine that? B,B,B (opponent side steps) BABABABABAABABABABAAABABBABABABA
