New Soulcalibur IV character revealed: Scheherazade

Finaika said:
Dunno if my Japanese is right (plus the poor quality scan) but the developers said that there have been requests for a rapier-using character. So they based Scheherazade's design on Record of Lodoss War's Elf character named Deedlit who uses a rapier. Also they said Scheherazade's design is like a Science Fiction Elf.

What? What the hell is Raphael then? I didn't play SCIII, did they kill him off or something?

I don't think he did if anything in his ending if I remember correctly he took the blade.

Because namco NEVER has two people with similar styles in their games. Right?

Like I said before I want another Samurai type in the game but female version kinda like Setsuka but Samurai!

Yeah I know but that quote makes it sound like fans were beating on the gates outside Namco studios begging for a rapier based character or something when there already is one in the game. It just seemed strange, that's all.
 
Judging by her features I don't expect her to be much like Raphael even though they use a similar weapon. She's an elfish type of character, so it should be interesting to see.
 
I like the character design just fine, but I must admit, when I saw the name, I was hoping to finally get an Arabian-style sword wielder. Nothing to do now, but to keep my fingers crossed.

I think everyone was expecting something Arabian Nights themed when they clicked on the thread but I'm not in hate with what I saw. Maybe she's Link part 2 or something.

I love SC but the universe is getting so weird.

Search deep within your soul, or maybe this very thread, and you will find the answer ;)

Yup, I like the fencing types, and being a D&D nerd, I'm also partial to elves, so I have nothing against the character design, but I'm still waiting for a badass with a scimitar to show up.

There's no way that's a male. Wait, Poison, Bridget, the cast from Magna Carta. I guess it's possible.

That is what I am saying yo!

Always beware of the Mighty Trap! :D

It's days like this where I feel that humanity is no longer worth weeping for.

Don't do it man those tears are better put else where!

Weep for the mortgage crysis going on.

Where is white-armed Athene of the flashing eyes, to escort me from the wroth of Poseidon's twisted sons?

She who offered the olive tree and won the hearts of the men of Attica. The protectress of the fearless Danaans and patroness to the righteous Achaeans of the shining spear and solid shield.

I approve of this form of scanning!
 
What were we talking about again? :lol

Well to get somewhat back on track if you even remotely like classical, listen to Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade Suite. I did classical trumpet for a while and it's one of the best pieces I ever performed. An Arabian themed stage set with some variations on that symphony in the background would be amazing.

So Scheherazade told a thousand tales, or was it just one tale, of souls and swords, eternally retold? Eh? Eh?
SC1+SC3=SC4. Amirite?
