Xiba, Yoshimitsu, Cervantes and Aeon Confirmed!

Today, Famitsu announced four new characters for Soulcalibur V! While Yoshimitsu was "sort of" announced in the custom character trailer, there was never any real confirmation. As well, hints about Aeon Calcos comings from soundtrack leaks (the same way Raphael was discovered early). Aeon Calcos in case you don't know, is the original Lizardman!

In addition to the return of the immortal Cervantes, Namco has revealed a new staff user by the name of "Xiba". Xiba, a character clearly designed around the Monkey King from the Journey to the West story in Chinese Folklore. Several months back, Daishi stated on his twitter that Kilik was an "ill-fated" character. With the introduction of Xiba, it begs the question: "What happened to Kilik?"

​

 

Sheba: I don't know why, but i think he won't play like Kilik. His design reminds me of something...
Human Cervy: AWESOME!! Nice to see they ditched the zombie pirate look.
Yoshi: A certain Pocky Yoshi will be very pleased. I'm also thrilled to see Namu back.
Aeon: Fire breathing lizard with angel wings? New main!! :D

 

i like them.....but i'm not quite sure about lizardman having wings...specially those kind of wings
i mean, i still like him and i'm glad he's returning.... and he looks bad-ass, but i don't know, i'll have to wait and use him.
Cervantes looks cool....and younger, like rejuvenated. Glad he's back though.
Yoshi..... it's yoshi :P

 

Whos the new kid? Is not Leixin, or whatever, who is he?

 

A raft and another boat. Of course we need stages like this. :P

 

So the animal motifs then... there's no doubt who the "High Spirited Tiger" is.
There's something lizard/dragon like on Cervy's pants.
All I see on Yoshi is flames flames flames.
Aeon is... eh lizard and... those wings...?

 

 

Xiba - I guess it's not Leixin as I speculated, oh well. But hey, I like his concept similarities to Sun Wukong. Guessing that this is the "young male" Daishi would add in the game. Leixia might have a new friend/rival outside the palace. :)
Cervantes - Knew he would come back! I noticed that his jacket looks similar in appearance like Ivy's, only it's red and longer. I see that he appears a little more laid back with his beer and has grown some hair on his chest. xD
Aeon - Not partly human as I speculated, but wings, DUAL axes and BREATHING FIRE, holy crap. o_o
Yoshimitsu - Also knew he would come back! His mask splitting to show a skull inside kinda creeps me out, but very interesting concept.

 

Please, another link? that one does not work for me :(

These are all returning stages, BTW (hopefully with remixed music).

 

I was hoping for female characters to be revealed. But whatevs.

 

Shiba looks like fucking justin Bieber. Seriously wtf. Little monkey? What a joke.
Human Cervantes with red jacket is meh.
Yoshimitsu looks quite bad too imo, too much red, stupid helmet.

Lizardman again is pretty damn good.

 

Sheba it's Goku XD...... He's only missing the flying nimbus haha

 

Sheba looks like an obvious Son Wukong homage.

I hope Aeon has flight mode.

 

hopefully lizardman counts as a new character seeing as he has wings now and ditched the shield. if not thats a wasted slot. sorry lizardman fans never been a fan.

"Hopefully he counts as a new character"?


Mmm...

 

Here are the stages from Famitsu.com: I don't know how to use the "spoiler". Sorry for my noobieness...

 

Also, I'm fairly sure this Yoshimitsu is a new one. You almost get the impression that he killed the previous Yoshi. Evil Asian character in SC? YES PLEASE.

 

Please another link :(

 

I'm quite... Disappointed.

This. Aeon looks so cool and I love him already, but otherwise...boring. And no Bangoo. Darn!

 

Tira did give Pyrrha her mother's sword.
