Sweet, thanks!
In video 1 we learn that Nightmare has big potential for tournaments, according to Tago 
So we all know by now that nightmare is basically venom in the fact that they bonded with 1 character and basically became an evil version of saI’d character. What are you guys thoughts on the new host.
For some reason I stuck on the thought that Sophithia is the new host, and I she is I pray to god she has an alt where she isnt wearing armor(ala the Siegfried alt for nightmare in SC2) ofcourse she wouldn’t be topless, strap on a robe and that bigass arm and a more fitting voice and She is good to go.
What’s all this about Aeon Calcos popping up in the theme select?
Wait, what? Aeon Calcos? The original Lizardman? Where did this pop-up? Time to go investigating…
EDIT: Investigation complete! I guess we have this as proof:
The idea of playing as human Aeon and not lizard Aeon sounds awesome to me. I’ve got the idea that his story will be something like he became human, but he still has his “lizard-like” instincts, so his character will be something like a Blanka style wild-man where he fights kinda like Lizardman does, but he’ll have a lot more “human” moves, so to speak.
Gah! This new “leak” has my hyped!
DOUBLE EDIT: For those wondering about the screen, it comes from an italian version of the game that somebody played at a convention, I believe. Rather than have everybody’s theme have a unique name, the Italian version has everyone’s theme as “Theme of [character]”. Apparently, the name of Aeon’s theme will be “Brutal Instinct”, as apparently that name was identifiable in that most recent stream that Namco did.
I would not mind that. I’m kinda hoping he isn’t completely human, More around 75%-90%. Where from a distance he looks human but once you get closer its alot more noticeable.
BTW can anyone link that pic with the world map? I keep hearing about but i have yet to see it.
Maybe Killik is the new host. Maybe that’s why Xianghua married somebody else.
I thought the original Lizard man wasnt the same person as the new Lizardman…Like the Lizard man of the newer games were just different people who got put in that state…So does that mean this dude is old as dirt?
Nah, the Lizardman of the SC games has always been Aeon Calcos. He’s the strongest lizardman, therefore the leader of all lizardmen. As far as Aeon’s age goes, I read that it was 51…or was it 53? Regardless, he’s in his early fifties. So…he’ll probably look like Mitsu. Though, for all we know he’s still a lizardman. We’ll have to wait until the official reveal.
Many speculate that since Aeon Calcos is a spartan, he’ll be a fully human sword and shield wielding character, or maybe even fight like Kratos did in that PSP Soul Cal. I still like the idea that he’s a wildman that continues to fight like a lizardman despite being human, or maybe even a human that has lizard-like features. Hell, his critical edge could be him *turning into *Lizardman for a short time, gaining an attack boost. Again, we’ll have to wait for the official release…but the next series of reveals have me very, very hyped.
The only Lizardman that isn’t Aeon is the one from SCII, if I recall correctly.
It would be interesting that instead of a human form he regained his soul and his humanity, but kept the lizard body while returning to using a sword and his old name.
Hmm, “Brutal Instinct”?
Interesting
So when playing Soul Caliber do you guys prefer the more traditional 6/8 button stick or any other controller?
I for some reason cannot play good at all with my TE Stick, but i recently found out that my college had a old Soul Calibur 1 cabinet and i fell in love with the button layout for it.

That’s obviously not the cabinet that i was talking about but the buttons are the same.
Anyone know where i can get a stick where it has the same layout as that for the PS3?
That just the top 3 buttons of the top row and 1st button of the bottom row from the old NamcoSega layout.
Just map your buttons as:
BCG
A
To get the shape, best to use something like a HRAP 3 or HRAP EX. Either that or wait for the SCV SOUL EDITION from MadCatz.
Hori has a SC layout stick on the way too.
True, although I still don’t get why they’re not using the Soul Calibur layout like the MadCatz one is.
It is using the noir layout too.
So I’m sort of a newcomer to the Soul Calibur series, I bought Soul Caliber 3 but didn’t play it that much, I got Soul Calibur 4 too but lost it soon after moving house. I remember in Soul Calibur 3 you could use a Lance moveset, I very much liked playing with Lance but I dont think it was present in Soul Calibur 4. Is it available in Soul Calibur 5?
I didn’t really find Hilde’s Spear/Lance & Sword weapon set to my liking. Kilik’s and Seung-Mina’s were a bit different too. They were cool, but just not the Lance.
No custom movesets in Soul Calibur V. Everything is based on an existing characters moveset.
But the buttons aren’t laid out the same way.
The SOUL EDITION from MadCatz has:
X Y B LB
A LT RT RB
[] /\ O L3
X L2 R2 R1
The Hori SCV has the default MS layout for the 360 version and the SFIV layout for the PS3 version.
B X Y LB
A LT RT RB
[] /\ R1 L1
x O R2 L2
With the Soul Calibur V layout, your buttons are automatically set to:
A B K
G
