The introductory trailer (Mitsurugi and Sophitia):
The 2nd Trailer (Nightmare, Killik, Xianghua and Groh):
Apparently, it's like Street Fighter IV-esque interquel, set one year before Soul Calibur 1.

I wonder who are they calling for the Guest Character.
It'll be Noctis, again.
I would guess Geralt from The Witcher or William from Nioh.
For those curious about Groh's story:
The mysterious Aval Organization was a secret group with origins rooted in ancient times. They say the group came to be when a king used the spirit sword to defeat its cursed counterpart, and with his dying breath, entrusted them with both the blade and his unfinished mission. Each new generation has taken on the group’s mission to rid the world of “Outsiders”—those connected with the cursed sword.
One such member was Grøh, about whom little is known save for that he was a fearsome warrior. Though his fighting style is shrouded in mystery, he is believed to have wielded two swords. Some also say he kept a certain technique close to his chest…
Calling that Groh's ultimate weapon will be a dual wield of Soul Blade and Soul Calibur.
Ivy and Zasalamel are in:
Yesssss
I've been waiting years for Salami to come back
Looks like he has some cues from Abyss too
Ivy was a given, but Salami is a surprise.
Now where is my man Cervantes?
I'm gonna guess that the next reveal is gonna be Taki and Yoshimitsu or Voldo
plus a new character
There's only one return I want, and that's Hwang over that goober Yun-Seong. Come on, Namco, you know no one likes him.
considering SC6 is back in time, the Korean Krew is probably gonna make a return
Give me a superior custom character creation and my money shall be yours. (I created so many cool chars on my PSP:wub:)
Waiting on mah boi Maxi to be announced!
Also. Don't talk to me about chacracter creator! (I may have a problem)
!

I'm not sure if I'm getting this. The only time I ever seriously played Soul Calibur was in college when friends would gather in one room and play each other.

Ivy and Zasalamel are in:
As usual Ivy looks fucking ridiculous. She should be so much cooler, but she shouldn't be able to move without her clothes falling off.

Personally, I never liked Ivy's dominatrix clothes in any game, and prefer her more formal alt outfits.
Yes, yes I know. In a world where people from around the world can understand eachother and have no racism at all and fight for a evil, sentient sword with no bloodshed at all, a minor grip-page about a baroness dressing like a dominatrix is a relatively minor complaint, but still!
Ivy is doomed to looked stupid but I thought her SCV look managed to be a classy enough take on her usual get-up to not be egregious
that said, given the time period for the game, I hope she gets an HD version of her cool SC1/2 alt
It was nice that they at least threw us a bone and gave us an alt outfit that made her look like a fabulous French noble instead of a dominatrix.

You say minor, but it's important for girls who play video games (and there are plenty) to know they can be strong without looking like a sex object.
Like, oh, this:
It was fabulous. Even when you fought and knocked pieces of her armor off she was completely covered up underneath. Like a person wearing armor should be.
I played two SC games, and I still don't know of any background reasons Ivy's dressed like a dominatrix?

because boob
also using "well you see the lore says" as justification for "because boob" is lazy and hacky
Sophitia, Cassandra, Seung Mina, Hwang, and mostly Taki are the ones I want, and only Sophitia has be announced so far. How sad.

Sure, but there's still usually a lore reason. And I really don't remember there being any in particular for it.
I thought, lore wise, she doesn't want to have kids due to the Soul Edge DNA she got from her dad Cervantes.
Someone pick up the phone….
Because I called that.
Better than Sir Noctis MF.

I think we can all approve of that.
I would also love it if Shepard from Mass Effect was the sci-fi rep.
Geralt is a disappointingly reasonable and acceptable choice
here I was expecting something really stupid like an Overwatch character
Ive heard a rumor that Roronoa Zoro is a guest character. It would be cool but I'm not holding my breath.
I think we can all approve of that.
I would also love it if Shepard from Mass Effect was the sci-fi rep.
…..Dead Or Alive 6 isn't coming out anytime soon.

I guess they could use the Omni-blade.
I guess they could use the Omni-blade.
Exactly.
Although if they insist on medieval weapons they could always use the Warden/Hawke/Inquisitor.
Looks pretty cool. Hope he doesn't end up bottom tier like Ezio did
YES! MY BABY IS BACK!
Yes, Taki returns! Really hope you can take that stupid ass mask off though.
Just need Cassandra and Seung Mina now, and hopefully Hwang over…I forget his name.
Sorry, this one slipped by me. Siegfried is also in:
Namu namu, bitch!
This game just got even more flashy!
Thats MAH BOI!!!
Sorry to interrupt you my man, but here comes dat boi!
First, the E3 trailer of the game's story mode:
And a interview with the developers:
And some unofficial leaks say that Cervantes, Astaroth, Mi-na and Lizardman (Back to his sword and shield), are also in.
Talim is in. ^_^
Yes!
I just need Cassandra, my main.
Yes!
I just need Cassandra, my main.
Sophita or go home.
Also, good to see Talim and her husbando Wind back. I look forward to Kotaku shitting all over her as well.
I'm liking Talim's revamped look. And those combos are going to give someone a seizure.
DLC. Because of course they would. But damn if this isn't the best she looked like.
