You guys heard the (supposed) spoilers for SCV yet? Some of it I guessed, but other stuff I would’ve thought too predictable or cliche for them to even go with. Then I remembered what era we’re in. Anyways, lol if true. Might get the game Tuesday or might just learn what I need to learn over someone else’s house. Don’t know yet. Tired of coming out of pocket for these folks, and then more dough later for charas, add-ons, and holiday theme DLC like santa hats and shit. But yea here:
Lawl
[details=Spoiler]Z.W.E.I and Viola is actually Yun-Seong and Amy respectively with amnesia. Algol saved both of them from being nearly malfested to death and revived them as new identities with new magic powers.
In coincidence, Z.W.E.I stumbled upon Viola who were rescued by Algol on both separate occasions away from each other, so the pair traveled together and eventually ended up with Siegfried’s group in search of a successor for Soul Calibur (Alpha Patroklos)
Taki doesn’t even make an in-game appearance in the game besides showing up in drawn art images in story mode. Taki traveled to the West to investigate the new troubles happening after SC/SE returned again. The ending of Natsu’s storyline suggests Taki will return in another spin-off game or sequel.
Mitsurugi and Siegfried eventually confronts Algol once again but is interrupted by Nightmare and ‘kills’ Algol to fuse SE/SC together to become a whole new boss similar to Night Terror but is stopped by Patroklos before he can do that. Tira and Pyrrha come in to save Nightmare so the battle of Alpha and Omega happens.
If Patroklos decides to seal Pyrrha into crystal, Elysium will step in and battle him for the bad ending.
Sophitia was resurrected as a goddess after being malfested and now is Elysium by the way. Cassandra is barely mentioned.
Maxi gets to fight Kilik but wasn’t able to save him in time due to Soul Edge’s influence over both of them, so Xiba and Leixia have to battle both of them in an attempt to save them from corruption.
Kilik is a bad guy now because he chose not to hand over the Kali-Yuga (which had infused the remaining power of Soul Edge after SC4) to Xiba because he did not want the staff to corrupt him so he chose to try to suppress SE himself, and became distant to his friends as his personality started to change.
and turns out Kilik is actually Xiba’s genetic father with Xianghua, and Leixia and Xiba are actually step siblings (but unaware of it) After Kilik left Xianghua to protect them from himself (but didn’t tell them), Xianghua was forcefully married with a general at the Ming army and bore Leixia. Xianghua didn’t want to tell Leixia that she had a step-brother since Kilik and her were estranged at the time when Kilik began to change and couldn’t reveal that to her family and current husband who were unaware that Leixia was Xianghua’s second child and Xianghua’s ‘innocence’ was already taken by another man instead of him.
Xianghua gave Xiba under Edgemaster’s care to protect him from being a target of the Ming imperial army, while Kilik vanished in the meantime.
Cervantes reveals that he was still actually cursed by Soul Edge the whole time and his human appearance was just temporary since Soul Edge would continually fluctuate or diminish with its power. Cervantes tells Ivy she is cursed just like him because they have remnants of Soul Edge power because of his bloodline, and as long as it exists, they will continue living in their current state and cannot die, and Ivy’s ending shows her starting to form purple skin like Cervantes had.
Raphael encounters Viola and realizes that it is Amy, but Amy under Algol’s power cannot remember her past forcing her to fight him in battle. Raphael wins and takes her unconscious body with him in hopes that he can help regain Amy’s memory.
Talim, Zasalamel, Seung-Mina, Cassandra and Bangoo (not Rock for some reason but possible re-skin option) are DLC. Setsuka vanished after SC4 so that’s why Patsuka was in the game to fill in her fighting stance. Might of forgotten a few more, but that’s it. Pretty disappointing and predictable if you ask me.
