Isn't the monkey kid a pole arm fighter?

I imagine out of the 6 or 7 slots left, at least one has to be Korean. My guess would be a Hwang/Yun hybrid.

Xiba has two or three of Mina's moves at least. There's always Hilde anyway if you aren't specifically looking for Mina's style, just polearms in general. Hilde's style actually fits a polearm better than Mina's, especially considering how Mina's always rather close to Kilik's.

Forgot Hilde, but she has that sword too. And a staff isn't really a polearm.
It would be cool to see a European fighter with an actual halberd or an African one with a spear, but I've pretty much given up hope of seeing more characters who actually represent a country and/or style rather than being mysterious people with arcane weapons.

Mina and Hilde have nothing in common.
Mina is almost nothing like Kilik.
Mina's a lot weaker, and supposed to be a power-hitting character.
Kilik is more about mixup with a bit of range poking.
I'm thinking Mina and Yunsung's style are going to be combined somehow into a new character right now.
I'll be super-happy if Mina returns, Monkey Boy doesn't seem like my type of character, but I'd have to learn someone new if Mina and Yun are both out. I want a Korean.

that's because mina and kilik shared some moves ( with different speeds )
Xiba is supposed to be a "new kilik" i want my MINA ( or a new mina )

I'd be inclined to say that Yun-seong is a given due to his young age in Soul Calibur II/III/IV. I'm not sure about Mi-Na or Hwang at this point.
At any rate, at least we know Talim is a given at this point. There's no way that she's not in the game.

I want an older, more badass Hwang but Team Soul are assholes and won't give us something that cool.

Demo footage by Namco of these characters http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/19315788
The time stamps are off by +5 minutes due to an edit that was made after posting. Matches start at 54 minutes in.
Next week will be a new character and gameplay mode info. Dunno if it was translated correctly, so I don't know for sure if it's just one character or multiple.

Dunno what you've been watching. Seems like you just want to shit on the game. There is tons of quality footage out between these namco game nights, SCR, and the French streams. There are hours of great SC5 matches and it looks great. Namco is doing an amazing job with this games presence for the competitive community.

Aparraently this game has SF2-style variable attack damage?
Some moves will do random damage as "Clean Hits" Some folks in the competitive community are up in arms over this, I don't think it's anything more then a minor nuisance at worst.
my only wish is that Clean hits had unique, interesting animations so that it looked awesome.

Lizard man looks cool with feathered wings. There's a contradiction going on that makes it very appealing to look at.

How random? Is it a specific distance thing or just straight up random number generator shit?

Lizardman looks very handsome. I can't wait to play~!
Clean hits only, and only specific moves. I don't think we'll know much more (or if they keep it) until people have it and can test.
I think it's dumb, but since it's a specific moves I don't see it being that big a deal in the long run.
