GameSpot interviews SoulCalibur V Producer Tago-San at Comic Con 2011 and shows off some new gameplay footage featuring the recently confirmed Ivy. Looks like she will only have two stances this time around!

The most stunning of all this is that the male character silhouette that Daishi leaked to us last week is not Raphael, which I'm sure most of us assumed, but is instead a new character named "Zwei" (German for "two"). He also appears to be holding his sword in a "tonfa-like" fashion.
