Is Nightmare a female now? I am totally lost on the SC lore.

we can neither confirm nor deny that, but from the portrait it definitely does not look like sophiemare. the breast plate seems to be homage to his SC2 armor.

honestly, i don't want nightmare to have a new host, he's good as his own character, he doesn't need a new host, he can already exist as an independent entity in SC3 and SC4.

oh and "WHAT"S WRONG?!" *bitchslaps someone* will not sound awesome with a female voice.
 
If that is Nightmare Sophie, I can't wait to see her kneeing people's crotch, butt attacks & sitting on her opponents faces in Nightmare form rofl.
 
A female Nightmare is too clever an idea for Project Soul to actually implement

at most he'll have even more spikes on his completely-blue armor

If it is her I'd expect all of the cutesy poo shit to be gone.





But crotch crushing will become even more brutal.

I'm saying they'll look back at the finished product and go, "you know what would've been badass?"

and that's when it'll hit them

Yes, 3 is X's daughter

We don't know who 6 is yet. Hopefully we'll find out by the end of the week. IF not, then there's a public event next week and they should tell us by then.

18 is assumed to be the Created Character slot.

Nice, thanks

I'm seriously just waiting for Setsuka info. That's all I need and I'll be happy. Sets is supposed to be one of his favs so I expect she'll return.

I'm talking about #8. If that isn't Lili, then SC team is aping the Tekken team a bit too much.

That's Sophitia's daughter. She's really nothing like Tekken's character aside from being blonde with straight bangs.

For what it's worth, I think I see a hint of eyelashes in the corner of Nightmare's eyes, and they look generally more female. But that might just be because I would want it, since I'm sick to death of original Nightmare.

However, I don't see why a Sophiemare would be in heavy armor, unless the Nightmare armor actually took over her.

Edit: Slim Nightmare? I'd be surprised if Sophie wasn't in it then.

Yep definitely female/feminine.
Also the only time I liked Nightmare was in SC2 (just because he slotblocked Sieg lol, and I used the alts). Doesn't help that his design got super ridiculous by the time we reached IV.

But he is too iconic to lose (he was the Project Soul logo!) so they wouldn't get rid of him. Also the new design of Soul Edge doesn't fit his play style so they had to change that too.
That's ignoring the fact that Taki is gone and Sophie is the only other iconic female representative of the origina castl. But we have 2 sword and shield Alexandras and don't need a third one.

You are not giving them much credit. I mean Nightmare was born from a canonical ending, any other characters that are as memorable/unique?
Also the Soul series arguably changed the main character of the series at least three times. What other series do you know of did the same? KoF is probably the closest we can get.

And wears a white dress with frilly skirt :P
 
I still think the best clue we have to go on is that earlier trailer that had a creepy feminine voice talking to Pyrrha about how they can be "together forever". Add that to that early Patroklos' profile from Famitsu about how he states his mother "died because of EVIL!" and I think that does a lot to hint at what likely is in store for us this time.

But, we shall see~! As far as big-name fighters are concerned, this is easily the one I'm looking forward to playing the most within the next few months.
 
Even if Sophitia isn't literally Nightmare, she'll definitely be in the game as some evil thing possessed by Soul Edge or whatever.
 
Raphael looks boss, Leixia is cute (and not Kilik's), and Nightmare....YES. I really like all of the activity going on in the stages as well.

EDIT: I initially thought the sword was shorter but that was just the initial sketch.
 
The stages sure do look ALOT better then 4's. I also think overall 5 looks ALOT better then 4 did in all areas :) Eizo being in this is sending me over the edge.... can this be preordered yet? Is it a March release?

Amazon's had the preorder up for almost 6 months now. The rumored release is end of January.

New thread for this new news. When Ezio is actually confirmed, I'll bump this one.
 
Raphael needs a pistol now.

edit - Also the screenshots of the stages look absolutely gorgeous. So much so that I'm worried about the framerate of this game.
 
Yeah, I didn't think that was Sophie. I'll admit that I'm disappointed at the lack of a female Nightmare, however. Would've been cool.

Cervantes and Yun, reveals and I'm set.

One should never worry about the frame rate of a fighting game. One of the few aspects of the genre that remains consistent.

This game is getting more and more gimmicky with every passing moment...

What in the world are you talking about? The gameplay looks really good and Ezio is a much better fit for the SC universe than most past guest characters.

Meter management, a new guard system, and a major shift in the way guard impacts are done...gimmicks.

Character that makes sense in the world as a guest character...gimmick.

Wish it was more like everybody's favorite Soul calibur and they put in an Elf or Spawn or some random McFarlane creation. Everything was better in the past.
 
Really digging that trailer. Ezio is a great character and he fits well. Also, Nightmare in motion is a welcome bonus.
 
Nightmare is looking like a Mecha ..... that narwhal horn in his head borders the EVA-01 =P

And yay for slow motion walk in the Ezio trailer xD

Namco does a better animation job with Ezio than Ubi itself

Wouldn't be the first time something like this happened. Starkiller's model and his animations in SC4 were easily better than anything that he got in his own actual games. :lol

I wouldn't say that. Ass Creed has some of the best animation I've ever seen. The clothing animates amazing, though. Very impressive stuff.
 
I'd always thought Team Soul's depiction of whatever character they're featuring at the time has been that character's best depiction in video games.
 
It's a lot easier to make a great looking character model when you know there will only ever be two characters and a background on screen at once.
 
So when will we get a fighter made up entirely of Soul Calibur guest characters?

Link, Spawn, Heihachi, Kratos, Darth Vader, Yoda, Starkiller, Ezio. GOTForever.
 
I hate Dampierre with all my heart, so I'm glad to see that he's DLC. There might be a spot left on the character selection but rather that than having that awful excuse for a character. Having to face Revenant, Charade and Lizardman every time through story mode would be better.
