Well I mean, you could just ignore the Guest Character stories. It's not like they are important.

The new kid's dad is Rothion. Patroklos' family has been known for more than ten years now, it's nothing to speculate about.

I'm expecting Pat and a couple of returning characters. Considering Daishi was a bit hesitant to reveal Siegfried in his twitter though, I'm not sure if they're actually going to have any.
Edit: OMG at that Siegfried art!!!

Sigfried looks great. I'm liking the art direction much more than SC3's feathers and SC4's bizarre ice armor.
I'm excited. I still enjoyed the hell out of SC4, even if it was the weakest in the series. I even grew to like Soul Crushes, although they do need to get rid of armor breaking off mid-match and being handicapped the rest of the way.
My guess on new characters:
Sophitia/Cassandra likely replaced by Sophitia's son and daughter respectively. My primary character has always been Soph, so I hope Patrocles doesn't look like a total Tidus-like doofus.
Ivy will probably remain with some sort of demon blood or whatever plot device to freeze her age and boob size.
Mitsurugi will remain but older. Same for most of the male cast actually, although they might introduce new characters for Kilik, Maxi, and Yunseong.
If there's any female character that they'll keep at age 40, my money is on Taki to be the MILF of the series.

The guest characters never appear outside of their own stories though.
Yes, of course, if you chose Vader and went to play the story mode with him, there'll be a story explaning what the hell he's doing on Earth, but, if you play with anyone else, there'll be no Vader or Yoda at all. I don't see how that's a problem. Crippling the gameplay of the guest characters (by cutting them from story mode) would be stupid.
Also, technically, according to SCII's story, Hyrule is in another universe, not just a far away land. But the same thing goes to Link. He doesn't exist in anyone's story but his own. And, like already mentioned, those stories aren't referenced in later games.
Probably the weirdest "connection" is Angol Fear, who is a guest character but actually appeared in other people's stories and she's actually directly connected to the Sgt.Frog /Keroro Gunso manga. She later appears in that manga, and the events from her story in Soul Calibur are (very briefly) referenced in the volume 19 extras.

The last time a Namco fighting game jumped ~15 years, we got Tekken 3.
This new Soul game will be awesome.

Soul Calibur has a face on it now.
CHRIST, I love Team Soul's character designs so much. Who's their artist again?
One of the main reasons I fell in love with this series.
Anyways, those gameplay details don't leave me with much faith.
How could they possibly make combos more "accessible"? For the most part, the execution of most damaging juggle combos in SC came down to the simple fact of knowing them (memorization). Sounds like they want to turn attack strings into some dial-a-combo BS. Stun combos were already a step in that direction and I hated them.
Also, I don't want every character in the game to have to be in your face to be viable. The variety of weapons and styles that fostered gameplay from a variety of ranges was more pronounced in this series (well, at least the first two games) than other fighters. In 2d fighters, you can zone/pit/turtle. In most 3D fighters there's largely just pit/turtle with some variance between. Fundamentally, you could just take your inclination and apply it to a character. But to say Cervantes was a "mid-range" character actually meant something specific to that character. To say Mitsu was pitbull meant something specific to him. Kilik was beyond mid-range, etc. The closest thing to a pure zoning character in this seres has been Ivy, but it isn't zoning in the 2D sense.
Anyway, yeah, sorry for the rant. I suspect that if Team Soul has been developing this game in a bubble without paying attention to the recent trends set by SF4, MvC3, MK9 etc. - it's going to be trash, like the last few games.
