It can be a retelling of Soul Blade/Edge and still just introduce functions of later characters. Setsuka’s master, for instance.
The real questions is do endings have QTE’s.
We’re living in a fucking fighting game renaissance, holy shit
New gameplay details.
There’s a new mechanic called “Reversal Edge” that lets players “defend against the opponent’s attack and directly counter with a powerful strike highlighted through a dynamic camera”.
Not quite. There’s a fraction of a second of her and Pat from the ending of SCV. (time is at 0:37 on the trailer) 
So now I feel like its either a time travel story or it’ll be a dual path with a events from before soul blade and after scv interacting in some way.
Shit game 0/10 won’t buy
So Guard Impact turned into Focus Attack?
And from Playstation Blog
I hope they refine the 8-way run from V and the last part don’t mean there are no hopes for Cassandra at all.
Spoiler
Alpha Patroklos can still be in
Also, destructable armor returning too
Hey, maybe addition of a mechanic like that is a way to help deal with fast, safe offense.
Maybe this is was a GI by Sophitia at the end before Mitsurugi blowing her up and her clothes

Also, 60fps trailer

glad this finally came out for prep launch
namco been trying to milk the series for merchandising too long
i hope it plays like 4 and 2
have 2 s speed and mechanics but some mechanics from 4
give them back their huge movelists and have ex moves as optional
maybe they could have a style selection
like for those that want shortened movelist with bar
and the old school that wants huge movelists with the hidden tech
…I want breakable weapons back from the very first game.
And SUPER KHAN SESSION MUSIC!!!
That would be neat, but they need to sort their shit out in the gameplay department because Reversal Edge sounds like some stupid shit.
We need this move back

Also, I didn’t need Tira had some specific taunts
Agreed. It sounds like Red Focus.
trying to pick out the clips from the old games in the sophitia flashback/vision
[details=Spoiler]Weird face Soul Edge used by Pyrrha (sc5)
Seigfried seals up Soul Edge with Soul Calibur (sc3 intro)
Nightmare looking cool (sc3 intro)
NPCs on the battlefield/running away (sc5)
Pat & Pyrrha destroy the swords (sc5 ending)
Nightmare being all Sauron on the battlefield (sc3 intro)
Soul Edge opening its eye (sc1)
More NPCs flying into a vortex (sc3 intro)
Soul Edge/Soul Calibur combined (sc2 intro)[/details]
Lots of sc5 and sc3 in there.
It would be pretty dumb to reboot series while maintaining the same numbering. Unless it’s pulls an MK9 I don’t see how that will be possible. Also, can we get Artorias as a guest character?
So Taki will be returning right?
Instant buy.
I just wanna slam peoples’ faces Into the ground, and toss them up into a backbreaker with Astaroth/character created Astaroth again, hope I’m not asking for too much!
So is it a DP or a GI with a canned follow up or a focus attack? Who knows, but prepare for the bitch storm
Zasalamel.
