Please tell me Lizardman is still in this bitch! PREASE!!!

1422

Woot, never! :slight_smile:

1423

I know you Kilik fans want to see him return, but in all honesty, it would be pretty sad and sexist of Namco if by having the 17-yr jump, they only replaced the female cast lol. Maxi was the perfect opportunity to bring in a new nunchaku user, but instead they just made him an older Elvis.

Considering who’s left to be announced, my money is on Kilik or Yunseong being replaced by a younger self. Likely Yunseong though cause no one likes him so may as well give him a new coat of paint. The other male characters like Yoshimitsu, Cervantes, Zalsa, etc. are most certainly just going to come back as themselves as they’ll look no different aged up and can’t reasonably be replaced. Lizardman, I think, has been cut. Too many small shield users.

edit - Also to yah: Raph was kept in cause he’s a vamp yo, he doesn’t age. Plus he probably went all Blade and is vamp vampire-hunter, going by his new look.

1424

Seeing as Cass is likely not returning (and we get two Sophie clones - both Pat and Py are closer to Sophie than Cass), I might be maining her as well.

Here’s hoping for some Urien level shenanigans.

Maybe there’s some old Elvis fans at Project Soul?

1425

I actually expect her to take things to a new level. I haven’t seen much of her gameplay, but it seems she can leave her sphere mid or low.

Add a 3D plane to that and we’ve got 8 way unblockables. I just jizzed a little.

1426

Patroclus is TOTALLY NEW CHARACTER. Dont let the sword and shield fool you. Pyrrha is like a Soph/Cass combination. Judging from one of the CAS revealed, and the Short Soul Edge sword, its possible she could still be a “SophMare”.

1427

Jax just stated that you can’t do left right unblockables in the game.

1428

Aww. Well, Viola’s “Aegis” is still going to be interesting.

1429

You can do low mid unblockables/hard blockables hopefully.

Still hoping for Ninja Turtle guest characters.

Where’s my Rayon McIntosh DLC?

1430

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Cass returns as an older MILF. If Sophitia is in fact the boss/new host of Soul Edge, or however the story goes, Cass would certainly have a reason to still be in the fight. Plus, from watching a lot of Pyrrha videos, sure she has a few moves reminiscent of Cass, particularly her CE, but she’s almost 90% a Sophie clone imo.

1431

Just pre-ordered SC5 today and put $20 (Cnd) down on it. Le Bello is mine! Mwahahahahaha! :3

1432

Viola looks sweet. I’m definitely compelled to use her, rather than the my old main NIghtmare

1433

there are still lots of empty spots on that select screen so i expect him back too

he’s always been a favorite of mine

1434

Where did the rumor of Sophitia being the new host come from when Nightmare obviously still has the Soul Edge?

1435

Great that means that A few weeks after all the people who can’t play her will let her go so I can main her. It’ll be just like ssf4 with makoto hahaha she’s mine buddy mine XD.

1436

I think it was a rumor that popped up during EVO, something to do with the character select screen there.
And Sophitia fans wishing that she would return

On a unrelated note, I totally heard Harada say Lizardman was the new host for the Soul Edge, and the switch happens at the mid-point of the game.

1437

Is Z.W.E.I. voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch, because his design screams JYB (angsty anime moon angst).

Z.W.E.I. looks pretty fun to play, but i really really really don’t like his design, so im probably gonna just use a Custom character with his weapon.

1438

Viola walkthrough with Filthie.

1439

I don’t even need that. How about a Michelangelo alt costume for Maxi. I’d rather play as a ninja turtle than Elvis.

1440

That walkthrough fucking blows. He did the same mashy mcmashness for 4 entire minutes talk about getting unhype.

Viola does look interesting, too bad he did a bad job trying to show off what she could do.
