Soul Calibur V Assets from San Diego Comic-Con!

In preparation for the upcoming Namco Fighting Games Panel at the San Diego Comic Con (the countdown on the front of 8WR is currently counting down till the panel); Namco has released some new assets and character artwork which confirm Ivy, as well as a stage without ringouts.

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.

Oh man, I'm such a slowpoke. Only now I noticed that Zwei switches his hand during a fight. He uses tonfa-grip with his right hand and sword-grip with his left. (incoming "Btw, I'm not really left handed" moment).

Also forgot to mention that I love the stages, especially that moonlit battlefield is gorgeous. Not sure about the endless aspect, but let's just see how it plays out.
 
Zwei a warewolf...? Wonder where they got that inspiration from*coughcoughTwilight*coughcough*

hehe, but that's pretty awesome actually... it's certinaly different too. :0
 
oh, speaking of twitter, for those worried about putting the leaked stuff up, he also said basically, 'if its out its out, look at it'.

neither he self believe it that. he read and saw much as he could,was only for be good with Daishi and win an answer in twitter,I was dissapointed because the material for show was stolen before of the Comi-con and that remove all surprises anyone no matter how is the fanatic level can avoid saw this before
 
On Twitter Daishi replied to someone and it makes it sound like he admits Zwei is a werewolf.

なるほどね~。Interesting observation ;) RT @Mister_Rugi: @Daishi_CALIBUR My early speculation is that Zwei is a werewolf...

I'm a little leery of this, but at the same time it could be awesome if executed properly.

And hey, if they bring in a werewolf, then Raphael better make the cut! XD
 
all right. today at 4:00 PST, Namco is doing thier live presentation. Ill be there with cameras on. From what I hear, there is playable demos of SV5 there. My source on that is my cousin who is working the event. Filthierich, Tago-san and the rest will be there answering questions which I will be trying to get a few of mine in there.

I wanna ask bout the meter. Can we get a little more info on how it works?

I got a few more. Anyone INTELLIGENT have anything else to ask!!
