There are scans from the latest Famitsu with the character Scheherazade, who looks really weird. Elf ears, pink outfit, kind of bird-like and fighting with a thing sword. The artwork is completely different than the usual SC, so is she a guest character from somewhere?

bjork · Mar 12, 2008

There are whats?

MCD · Mar 12, 2008

nah, she looks like SC3's Tira.

i don't like it still.

ram · Mar 12, 2008

honestly - without pictures such threads are worthless.

rollingstart · Mar 12, 2008

yeah, she looks unusual.

It actually reminds me of the look Lloyd had in Soul Calibur Legend or whatever for the Wii. More realisitc Tales of character.

SolidSnakex · Mar 12, 2008

Sounds like the name of a Pokemon.

She looks like she belongs in some shitty Tales Of game.

Seriously? How ignorant can you be?

donkey show · Mar 12, 2008

Hopefully he/she/it looks like the Guymelef of the same name from Escaflowne.

EDIT: Nope, not at all. :lol

more or less this is what she looks like:

basically

The Faceless Master · Mar 12, 2008

looks like an elf with tizoc's cape

GeneralIroh · Mar 12, 2008

I think she is from the Shining series.

NeonZ · Mar 12, 2008

Not only her design, the style of her character art is completely different from the other designs too. It's weird, even the colors are different, there's much less contrast than in the other character arts (though that might be just the bad scan).

JetSetRadio · Mar 12, 2008

I've given up hope a while ago to play a worthy Soul Calibur (dreamcast) successor. The introduction of those bullshit starwars characters was one thing, now another deception, as you might encounter a pink elf online in battle.

AAh, SFIV is still coming this year. Is it? IS IT?

WTF??
I want Rimsky-Korsakov's music in SC4?

Let's wait and see if someone else goes ahead and does it. I kinda hope not though.

SiegfriedFM · Mar 12, 2008

I would have loved to see a real Arabian Nights/Prince of Persia type character, but this is obviously not it...

The-Switcher · Mar 12, 2008

"Doesn't fit at ALL, looks like bad SNK LULZ, face is too weird and cartoony, very ugly, looks WAY too bulky! Steoidz!! LUL!!"

-- oh wait, this is a thread for Street Fighter IV, right?

ZiZ · Mar 12, 2008

she doesn't look Arab or Persian...

Error · Mar 12, 2008

ALLENNNNNNNNNN SHEZARDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

MCD · Mar 12, 2008

she looks like a fairy/fantasy character.

turk128 · Mar 12, 2008

She... looks like a SRPG support character.

The S-Word · Mar 12, 2008

looks like a Tales of____ series character. Her face doesn't even have the same style as others..

D3VI0US · Mar 12, 2008

WTF is that thing? As if Darth Vader and Yoda weren't bad enough that's just fucking retarded. I don't like this, I don't like the fact that they're putting so much effort into these guest characters. If they fit more into the confines of what the game was it wouldn't be so irritating but it's a fucking elf. Anyways I'm still stoked for the game, it looks great, but it's like why not put that effort into the custom characters instead, seems like a more worthy use of time. This chick will probably help them sell in Japan though.

BishopLamont · Mar 12, 2008

Why are her boobs so small? Makes no sense.

I love how you're acting like he's in some minority or something.

Yeah, Scheherazade is a household name.

The fuck?

I'm absolutely amazed that people are bitching about the style of this character.

Because Soul Calibur has always had normal-looking chacters that all fit with each other.

Xapati · Mar 12, 2008

Those pics are too small to decide if I like her, especially considering the artwork and ingame is often radically diffrent for SC4 characters. Although she does seem like a weird character.

Anasui Kishibe · Mar 12, 2008

I know who Scheherazade is, I've read the poem

Finaika · Mar 12, 2008

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.

Gantz · Mar 12, 2008

How is he new? Wasn't he in SCIII?

soqquatto · Mar 12, 2008

not knowing the Sheherazade name is not really something to be proud of. It's sort of common culture, although of course you can't always know everything and yes maybe you can skip 1001 nights after all.

besides, the Magic card of the same name (albeit with a random spelling) was the ultimate awesome trick you could pull to your friends/enemies in a friendly/annoying game. forking it was also priceless.

sorry for being nerdish.
