For some reason, Lizzy’s profile is still outdated lol
On the good side, seems that Dampierre’s status on SCV is indeed canon - since he does have a storyline tied with the game and all - which is pretty nice.
And on the useless-side, Bonus Character Ashlotte is also canon, according to Astaroth’s profile. But me gusta these things.
I’m loving the footage of Aeon. Thanks to those who caught footage!
Aeon’s looking different, and that I really like. Though, some speculated that he might have some of Kratos’ moves from that PSP Soul Cal due to the fact that Aeon has wings. I never did play that game, so…can anybody else tell if that’s the case? Aeon appears to have some “flight enhanced” moves, if you will.
JURASSIC EDIT: So, I guess initial impressions from SCR reveal that Aeon has a lot of Kratos’ moves from that PSP Soul Cal. I’m not sure how Kratos was as a character, but I like how Aeon the Spartan got moves from a previous Spartan. Otherwise, a lot of Aeon’s staple moves appear to be in, and he has a new “flight stance” where he apparently has a quick unblockable? I’ve heard the flight stance compared to Devil Jin’s from Tekken. Well, we’ll have to wait and see whether or not it’s actually useful.
The four exhibition matches were great. I was disappointed by the lack of Aeon, but the quality of the fights more than made up for it. Also seeing the 2P costumes in action was great, but I do agree that Astaroth’s 2P costume is stupid looking. I know that his 2P costumes have always looked bizarre…but this is far and away the most bizarre looking, I think.
Hopefully within the next few days we’ll get some stream archives or player footage from SCR so we can digest more of the new information.
So Dampierre gets an actual slot
So that’s
13 Returning: Mitsurugi, Maxi, Siegfried, Hilde, Tira, Ivy, Astaroth, Yoshimitsu, Raphael, Voldo, Nightmare, Cervantes, Dampierre
8 New: Patroklos, Pyrrha, Aeon, Natsu, Leixia, Xiba, ZWEI, Viola
N/A:Ezio
6 slots left, not counting the center one that appears to have something hidden behind it.
They ever say the roster was officially 50/50? if they did, I guess the Center is also a character
Huh, the last 6 could all be new characters then, with like Night Terror as the boss, or something
I really want Talim to come back, or at least something equivalent to her style. Also, please don’t let her suck ass again. They were really fucking around in the last game when they decided to make her ass slow for god knows whatever reason. SMDH
