fucking nigger

Great character design. She can poke out an eye or two with those.

Ouch.

Now I see what can beat the lightsabers

@Billy Bob Joe: Jesus. get banned much?

On topic and not being a racist, SHE NEEDS MOAR SPIKES. that is all

@Billy Bob Joe:
Thanks for playing!

Neat weapon. Perhaps she'll play a bit like Seong Mina?

Aside from the boobie-spikes, I like her design. That weapon looks pretty interesting too. ("Is it a mace? Is it a spear? I'M SO CONFUUUSED!")

ANOTHER ONE? Get with the game releasing already.

Oh and second on more spikes.

Hmmm I'm going to have a hard time picking between her & the elven girl as my secondary character.

Do any characters use a club or a hammer? I forgot.

Looking forward to her ingame screenshots. SC4 will be fun to play. Lots of great fighters coming out this year!

@Billy Bob Joe: Wow. Why do people like you exist?

I like the design... the nipple spikes make me lol. What practical use could they possibly serve? They better have some sort of attack where she shoves her boobs into the enemy.

it's a pretty cool design but it makes me think of a lot of bad puns and sayings... Like she's en pointe... er points... or she could cut glass with those things... ooooook moving on.

I hope that she doesn't just play like seung mina though, i get kinda sad when characters have the same movesets but just look different, although soul calibur has been getting better about changing up the similar characters

@Billy Bob Joe: So you're the reason why everyone on the Internet or online gaming has a bad rep. So not necessary

This character and the elf girl look like they stepped right out of a generic fantasy anime.

I'll still be there on day one for the gameplay and the chance to get my no-talent-having ass kicked in online, but the developers are really diluting the aesthetic identity the series used to have with these poor character design choices.

What the hell country is that from? Seriousley. In line with the fantasy-esque pink chick, I guess. Well, I like the design, I'm just gonna go NUTS trying to guess which country she, and the other new characters hail from.

Plus it seems she's giving Ivy a run for her money, slightly.

Good stuff.

Nice design. I approve.

Is she like the evil version of Angol Moa? I <3 Sgt. Frog!

gero gero gero gero gero gero gero

Works for me :O

@Billy Bob Joe: Another one bites the dust. Queen would be proud.

@Topic: Sorry lady, the room where cast auditions for the next game in the Tales of Series is taking place, is past the second door to the right. Seriously though, shes hot, and would probably make for a fine addition to SCIV's cast, but damn she reminds me of an antagonist you'd see in a JRPG. Also, although I'd like to see Oh,Great! Contribute to character designing like he did in Tekken 5, Mine Yoshizaki is alright I guess.

So who's going to contribute to the slew of jokes this will garner? All hope is lost if you don't make a Madonna one after viewing her nipple spikes.

So how exactly does she attack? Slashing/stabbing with the spear end? Bashing with the wrecking-ball end? Doing the manly chest bump into her opponents? Perhaps some combination of the three?

*poke, poke*

At least, players can't complain now about a lack of variety. I suspect the next new character will be an oran-utan with a yoyo.

@Billy Bob Joe: Tell me you didn't just say that?

This may have been said before but it looks like Soul Caliber wants to position itself as a serious contender against DOA, not to pleased in the way it's heading.

@KeroseneClimax:
dun dun dun
Another one bites the dust
dun dun dun
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust

@Shin-Kaiser: Nice Booker T reference!

ANIME CALIBUR!!!

Seriously... what went wrong?

@Shin-Kaiser: We've only seen 3 new characters, and of them one is encased in armor and the other has perfectly normal sized, well covered, breasts. This is the only newcommer who is well endowed and shows it. None of the new outfits for SC 4 have been anything more or less than what the characters have been for about 5 games now (except for Ivy, but it's still the same spirit of her character).

None of this is particularly eye-popping or tragically out of synch with SC's usual look.

@Billy Bob Joe: FEEL THE WRAITH OF THE PENGUIN!!!! TOPIC- I agree needs more spikes.
@Brian Ashcraft: Could this possibly be filed under maximum risky? I'm looking for one more before I get out of work Ash, come on sweet sweet risky business!

@Garro: Scratch that last sentence. I meant it in relation to sex appeal, not the total general aesthetic. I know the elf and this girl are treading into new territory.

Spiked crotch would be funny too.

it makes you wonder if she's got any spikes hidden in other places.

O.O

@KevinHalse:

I'm happy this site is well moderated to eliminate people like you from bringing it down. Reasons like you are why I stopped visiting a few other game-news-informing sites.

@Topic: I've never played Soul Caliber, as much as I love mastering crazy combo's and gaining length on my e-peen, they just get boring so fast to me.

Ahhh, sorry Kevin... Didn't mean to click you.. I don't even know how that happened? That was directed @Billy Bob Joe.

Sorry >_<

I swear there's an episode of the original star trek where Spock and Kirk have to fight each other using weapons just like that...ahhh, William Shatner...he can't hear us over the sound of how awesome he is.....

@Cchrist: agreed! is there a release date for it yet? I'll then have to remember to add several months coz I'm in Europe (sigh...)

@Billy Bob Joe: been a while since I've witnessed the full majesty of a monumental retard in its native habitat...thanx for setting me back to square1 on my "shrug off misanthropy" course

One more thing, the magazine has also revealed Amy, Cervantes and Zasalamel as returning characters.

@KevinHalse: I know overt racism can cause angry outbursts, but The dude is already banned. I'm a brother, and I already could care less now. Unlike Youtube, you too could likely get banned for your post. I hope the people here realize that your upset, and cut you a break.

I think Madona did this on the 80's.

Why is she wearing a crock-pot for a hat?

@KeroseneClimax: ok ok Madonna joke...er...she steals children??
ohh wait you meant a joke about the spikes? oooo

Just think how crazy game bewbs will be in next-next gen systems.

Yeah thats totally awsome... she's got big... boobs ... *yeay*

Honestly i'm so fucking tired of developers (japanease ones in particular) treating me like a 12 year old pupertal metally challenged person... Still my most wanted fighter though :P

im gonna assume billy bob had a racist cousin and left himself logged in, cause his other comments (glancing over em) seemed not nearly as ignorant, anyway.

on topic: thank god, i was worried with the recent slew of pics that titties were becoming less of a priority here, but clearly that's not the case. Did SC just feeling out-DOA'ing DOA?

So, is she a friend of Voldo? Or do they just shop at the same store? 'Cause he also has spikes in odd places...

It's not like SoulCalibur's cast has been exactly... down-to-earth... in the past. Just for a few examples... We have Nightmare, the evil embodiment of SoulEdge...Voldo, the silent, insane, bondage-clad contortionist... Cervantes, an undead pirate... etc.
So, basically, I don't see what the problem is with these new, original characters.

Nor do I see a problem with Yoda and Darth Vader. After all, Star Wars did take place "long, long ago." :P

@Billy Bob Joe: You know, his commenting history makes it obvious that Billy Bob Joe most likely did not post that himself, which totally sucks. :(

@TheIrishNinja: One can only hope so...

@shrewd: Also, I kind of wish they brought back cameo characters from previous SCs, like Link and... well just Link.

im ok with the anime look and the spikes (all of them :P)

im not ok with racist idiots (die in several fires).

i havent seen the other characters yet, im gonna have to go check them out >^.^<
