Did they decide to tone down Sophia's boobs? They don't seem to be more exposed and bigger from the previous installment. (Not sure if that would be possible to pull off although)
I guess the point for bringing that up is to validate the image. If that's actually legit and they toned it down it's more believable to me. I don't keep up with the fighting genre at all though, so I have no clue.

Regardless I hope it's true, Ezio is an awesome character I would love to play him in some Soul Caliber.

sophy's not even in the game

 

[Criminal Upper]

Pardon? May I ask how Ezio fits in better then Link?

Ezio lives on Earth.

And Link is from a fairytale land that never existed?

Spoiler

aliens are influencing events in human history and magic mind control devices exist

okay

okay

As if that's anymore unbelievable than modern religion?

Regardless, I am hyped.

 

[Monocle]

This would be amazing. Hope it happens.

As if that's anymore unbelievable than modern religion?

Fuck you, everything was made by a wizard!

 

[hteng]

bigger sized of the char selection screen

you'll probably notice that the top rows are all new characters. so we would deduce that the third girl from the right is not talim but xiang hua's daughter.

edit: err.. from the left sorry

Jesus confirmed?

 

[Platy]

Also yoshimitsu, inferno (and basicaly every boss ...),servantes, the basic premise of soul calibur, nightmare, lizardmen, ivy's bust size ....

It is not like Soul Calibur is realistic either =P

Spoiler

actualy the more you think about, more Kratos enters the "makes sense in soul calibur" place next to Link =P

Altair > Ezio c'mon guys recognize AC's one and only true hero.

Yeah, I’m still gonna say that that’s Talim. It looks exactly like her! And the guy next to Ezio looks pretty cool....

It was more a response to Zelda being a fairytale, thus not appropriate.

Can someone please explain how a cold emotionless avatar like Altair is better than Ezio? Ezio had things he cared about, people he loved, desires, ambitions and dreams. He was an actual character.

Altair is slightly above silent protagonist in terms of personality.

 

[jackdoe]

And he had the better voice actor.

Anyways, I wonder what unlockable costume Revelations or the next AC will get for this (assuming the rumor is true).

Also, if they are looking for platform specific characters, no Kratos please. How about Drake for shits and giggles (and all around greatness even if it doesn't make sense at all).

 

[Finaika]

Yeah, I’m still gonna say that that’s Talim. It looks exactly like her! And the guy next to Ezio looks pretty cool....

That's not Talim.

It looks like a little girl while Talim is what, 30 now?

And yeah the top rows are new characters.

 

[Kaizer]

Pretty good choice if you ask me, looks like he'll fit in with the cast just fine.

 

[sleepykyo]

:|

Can you think of a more appropriate male that is popular in the west? At least it isn't a Star Wars character, Captain Price, Marcus/Dom or Nathan Drake.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

That's not Talim.

;_;

leixia, xianghua's daughter for comparison

 

[sixteen-bit]

I called it.

Is Xianghua's daughter named Linghua or is that fanwank?

 

[ThirtyPlus]

This.....does not anger me.

 

[Hours Left]

you'll probably notice that the top rows are all new characters. so we would deduce that the third girl from the right is not talim but xiang hua's daughter.

I think the bottom row will probably be all new character too. It's supposed to be roughly 50/50.

 

[Jay Shadow]

Yeah, I’m still gonna say that that’s Talim. It looks exactly like her! And the guy next to Ezio looks pretty cool....

It's Leixia. They said on twitter last month that she'd probably be seen in October.

 

[Hours Left]

leixia, xianghua's daughter for comparison

It's totally Leixia, the collar on the top is the same and you can see part of her hair on her shoulder.

 

[Emitan]

should be rayman isntead

 

[TheSeks]

Fits in better than Yoda or Spawn.

Hey now, Spawn was pretty fucking awesome. SC2, not so much.

I'd buy SC5 for Ezio, but then I remember I don't like SC too much. :/

 

[Platy]

It was more a response to Zelda being a fairytale, thus not appropriate.

I know ... i agree with you

But i still think that Altair fits more simply because Assasin's Creed TRY to be in our world in the same way that Soul Calibur TRY to be too (less, but still ...)

Also

There is this elf

 

[hteng]

I think the bottom row will probably be all new character too. It's supposed to be roughly 50/50.

yea probably, but i'm already satisfied since i main Nighty in SC4.

and rumor has it the release date is somewhere Jan 2012, i really doubt that though, you have 4 months left and no even half the cast is revealed yet.

 

[Monocle]

Never forget.

Spawn had a pretty fun fighting style, so whatevs. Although Hei walks all over him, obviously.

Dante.

 

[maomaoIYP]

I'm still not a fan of guest characters. The four palette swaps designed by mangaka in SC4 I can live with, but characters from other games or other worlds really ruin the game for me, especially if they are console exclusive.

Btw has Setsuka or Seung Mina been confirmed yet? They were my favourites.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

fitting if true

 

[Hours Left]

Btw has Setsuka or Seung Mina been confirmed yet? They were my favourites.

Neither yet.

 

[DasRaven]

Well, Ezio would be very fitting and easy to implement into the system since Dampierre from Broken Destiny (SC-PSP) has the same weapon.

They could easily massage Dampierre's moveset into something fitting for an assassin (less jokey).

 

[NeonZ]

Btw has Setsuka or Seung Mina been confirmed yet? They were my favourites.

Neither has been confirmed yet, but there's also no new character with their weapons so far.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Lame.

He looks like Zalasamel got AIDS.

I want Witchblade up in this piece Namco!

You know you want it - boobs and blades.

Crazy Mustache? Check
Purple and Yellolw color theme? Check
Love of Gold Coins? Check

Must be Wario time.

 

[Kimosabae]

Rumor from the leak is that the game releases January 31st...

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Perfectly fits like a glove.

 

[Finaika]

This picture is kinda funny.

Its all cutesy & family love, but the little girl is holding a freaking sword.

 

[alstein]

It could have been a lot, lot worse.

I still think guest characters should be reserved for Smash.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Will have to agree with the "fitting" sentiment. wonder what other guest stars will be. Hopefully they also fit as well as ezio does.
edit: I wonder if this means any other ones will be from ubisoft or will be from different publishers.

 

[Kimosabae]

That's a funny statement considering Soulcalibur 2 started the trend.

 

[sn00zer]

Probably the best character choice.......fits right in with the game visual design wise

 

[hamchan]

Ezio is pretty awesome, so I'm pretty happy with this.

 

[alstein]

That's a funny statement considering Soulcalibur 2 started the trend.

Yeah, and I hated it back then.

 

[Hours Left]

Yeah, and I hated it back then.

It'll be nice when all the fighting series get it out of their system, but until then it's just a lame marketing tactic that we have to deal with.

But at least when I see Ezio, it won't be completely jarring or ridiculous. I still won't be using him though.

 

[Skilletor]

I think it's an awesome marketing tactic.

It doesn't detract from the characters i play. It gets tons of attention to a game I love. It gets people who wouldn't pay attention to soul calibur to buy the game, making sure I get more.

I love guest characters. And hey, I'll actually use Ezio, so double bonus.

 

[infinityBCRT]

If I'm a hardcore Soul Calibur fan I'm probably cheesed off by this. But Ezio is one character I wouldn't mind seeing in a Super Smash Bros type game made with characters from T & M rated series.

Actually, after Star Wars in SCIV, this is the best possible news we could get. Hell, he would have even fit in back in the SC1 days.
