I'm still up in the air about which Alexander I'll main. Maybe I'll main both. I know Sophitia could rush in as good as the rest but that's why I always like Cassandra more. Brash attitude. Linear, in the opponents face, some strong punishes that don't require alot of stepping off the opponents axis. Screw a second "Angel Step"! I don't need another one when I'm already in their face with a 8B air combo! I don't need to duck again. I can cancel into a Gi attack and attack! Like the more I see Sophie in Pyrrha, the more I'm not inclined to use her. The more I see Cassy in Patroklos the more I'm going to miss throwing ass in my opponents face...but fuck it. Hopefully this guy has a tea-bag throw or something!

Honestly Pat is looking more interesting to me then his sister. Good evasion options, not alot but a few, and a strong rush game, just like his auntie Cassandra. Least that's what I hope for.
 
Looks like Patroklos does in fact, have an Angel Step. You can see it in this video at the 40 second mark. There's also a few moves in that video that we haven't seen before. Looks interesting!

I think I'm gonna main Pat...cum guzzling yoai or not... :\
 
I just hope NAMCO break their recent habit of introducing broken characters...
If he gets a 236236236 I will feel so bad... As I abuse it...
 
@lobo I think it's pronounced Paht-Rok-Los
heard it in some videos,but still not sure =\
 
Ok..... Patroklos is pronounced like Pa-tro-klos, stress the "a" and pronounce the last "o" the way it is. However I've heard the "o" being pronounced like "u", but I guess that happens when the name is spelled like "Patroclus".
I guess the correct latin pronunciation is "Patroklus", but Cassandra must be calling him Patroklos (Πάτροκλος). I'll be calling him that way as well...

Also it is not sure that Patroklos (the one in mythology) is gay. That's a 50/50 situation. Some say he was and some others not. In Homer's Illiad nothing like that was hinted. He only placed Patroklos as Achilles's best friend, just to indicate that Achilles is not just a killing machine but a caring friend as well. In another myth Patroklos is stated as Helen's ex boyfriend. However there are myths where it is stated that he and Achilles had a romantic relationship. If you ask my honest opinion about his favors, I'll tell you that he might have been bysexual. And that is because some of the history teachers make clear that ancient Greeks were bysexual... "Look at those vases if you don't believe me"...
 
Hmm. An interesting design for a character that is supposedly "Greek". I liked the look of his style of fighting in the SCV Trailer. I can't wait to fight as him!
