SoulCalibur V Trailer Highlights Cast So Far

SoulCalibur V Trailer Highlights Cast So Far

New and old mix it up, with Viola stealing the show

Written by Dog of Thunder on 15 September 11 at 13:28

I'm not going to write anything up here, as for once, we have a trailer that shows off characters and provides us with a glimpse at their motivation for fighting, unlike a certain other fighting game series that is using thirty second abstract videos to tease their roster.



SoulCalibur V takes place 17 years after SoulCalibur IV with new faces, old faces (literally) and a new combat system that promises to be the fastest in SoulCalibur history. You can head back into our archives and reacquint yourself with a trailer of the old characters as well as some screenshots of the old guard.

Personally, I want to see more of the girl at the end of this latest trailer, Viola. The only thing we know of her is backstory is that she is traveling with Z.W.E.I., the Gothic fighter that summons a spirit companion during combat.

SoulCalibur V has no release date but is expected to arrive in 2012.

The franchise has gone downhill since the third installment... It will never be that awesome again. Upvote for SC3 HD Edition with online vsersus support!

Although I'm still going to get this. Seems like they took out that crappy armor system, which was what I hated most about IV.

Haven't played one since Soul Blade on PS1 and have seen nothing to make me want to amend that.

This is starting to look dissapointing. Anyone else notice that R2-D2 is screaming around the 1:09-1:13 mark?

I dont mind what theyre doing with SC V by making a new tale with a new generation, but they better not pull something like they did with SC IV and put something dumb like Star Wars...still the biggest smh in any game I have ever played ( love SC, really hate Star Wars, big kick in the pants when I found out that). I also think they should re-do SC III and make it for XBOX 360 like what Halo did and also add SC II, the game that introduce me what SC was.

Please please please don't have taken any characters out from IV!
I hate it when developers go backwards.

The game really does need Cervantes, Seigfried, Talim, Voldo, Rock, and Taki.
I saw Voldo, and I saw what I think was Seigfried but he had long hair? and maybe a Taki-esque character. The rest are still missing. I loved SCIV and even the armor system worked well imo, added something a bit different to the franchise.

Also I'm holding out for a top quality story mode and Tower Of Souls to make a return.
Before I have these things confirmed I'm not getting day one, like I originally planned on doing.

Mikerboy44 said:OMG NO TALIMHey now, let's not think like that! She's one of my couple favorite characters, and I'm holding out hope she'll be in. Especially as she was a youngster in the old games, it would be nice to kick some ass with grown-up Talim. At the very least, if they don't include her, they better insert someone with the same weapons and fighting style. It seems that's what they did with the two new blond characters from the start; they're apparently replacing Sophitia and Cassandra. cry

Smokin Joey, there are definitely going to be some characters that are lost. Honestly I wouldn't mind not seeing Rock or Lizard man along with the Star Wars characters. It's too bad they don't just keep adding to the roster, that would be nice.

The fighting just seems a bit off putting to me...I don't know what it is. I'm just hoping this doesn't disappoint. Still want to see if they redeem themselves with console exclusives this time around...Star Wars was an awful idea even if you liked the series. But that's just my opinion.
You seem a little furious...

All I know is Voldo is in there.
Which is a pure win.

Could use some Siegfried and Talim though, I agree.

Looking interesting. Seeing this makes me miss that Soul Calibur feel and gameplay. I haven't really played SC since the first one on the Dreamcast.

I love Soul Calibur, but I'm still likely not to get this. I'll try out my friends one when he gets in on the PS3 (yes, my opinion of this game will be decided on the PS3, that's how little I'm looking forward to this :/)
And agreed about SC2 & 3 being re-released on Xbox, those were AMAZING! I miss Necrid!
Also, I don't wanna see adult Talim, I know what SC does to their adult characters (think like Ivy D:)
My trophy case is a story. Everybody read da story! :3
