Well, I do stand corrected. It's more like he was raised in China but we don't really know where's he from, but we can just say that he's Chinese, or at least someone that looks a little bit like Yunseong.

just because he's korean(if he is) does not mean he will replace Yunseong. Either way, HE'S REPLACING KILIK!!!!!!! A STAFF NOT A SWORD!!!!!.Point blank. Period.

I REPEAT!!! I stand corrected.
But Xiba does look a lot like Yunseong, especially in the eyes and hair. The lips are slightly different though.

Very well said. It wasn't Natsu herself, it was the design poorly meshing with the series.
(A lot less then ZWEI's) but she has no sense of even an ethnic background even relating to her origin. On sight I knew she was just a girl version of Naruto. Only difference is that she can actually fight.

Tell me how you stand correct. Even though just because he looks like Yung does NOT mean he will replace him. I'm sorry, but I see where your'e coming from but it makes no sense to me.I REPEAT!!! I stand corrected.

THIS IS JUST LIKE THE VIOLA AND AMY INCIDENT!!!!!

He lacks a child's body even though he has a child's face, its not the muscles. Its the purportion. He has adult feet and adult biceps/Chest.

I hope for some other big guy(Bangoo?) as now Asta is the only "wrestler" of the game.
I will like to see an uber fatass fighter(never had one in SC) or a skinny 2meter dude with gameplay based on reach advantage.
And in fact Xiba it is
Who is visually the most lean fighter? Maxi? Seem bigger than him
Patroklos? Seem way bigger than him
Talking about male fighters Xiba is still the lil fast quick monkey of the cast,and in comparision to others it seem reflect it
Again,he's not 12-13 that must look like a child, he's 16,a young man for that time
Plus the chara concept seem the one of a tough boy,example you see the raised in mountains thing,the monkey king reference,the "tiger" symbol(high spirited tiger)
He's a little warrior,and thay want to reflect it,simple as that

He is saying he stands corrected to the point where he is replacing yun. However he isn't recalling his opinion which is yun and Xiba look similar.

Xiba look like he 13 or 14 in the game. in the 2D pic., he looks kinda like he's 16.

I thought he meant that he was corrected on the weapon being a poll and not a "staff" like he said in his post.

teenagers have young looking faces, no amount of working out will fix that, specially since its apparent he shaves.

Because Xiba isn't "Korean" persay, he isn't going to replace Yunseong.
But yes, Yunseong could have been replaced if Xiba was Korean. Usually it takes one character to represent an audience, especially with the minority characters who aren't Japanese and Chinese, but even these characters are getting put back a little with the Eurasian references coming in (Natsu, Setsuka, Arthur).
If it weren't for the fact that Seong Mina had history, and fans love that character a lot (which I do love her as well), I bet she would have been easily replaced by Kilik and have Yunseong as the only Korean character instead. Hence how she never even appeared in Soul Calibur 2 (Yunseong's debut) at first. The consoles was when they decided to put her in.
Weapon-wise, however, Yunseong's style is too unique to remove, but most of that style is based on Yunseong's personality.

no he was just mentioning that, from what I Could gather, granted I'm not him so wtf do I know? Continue.

Xiba's 3D hair does not look like the artwork's.

That's what i'm talking about. Xiba is not replacing Yung. My last post may have came out wrong. The whole thing of Xiba replacing Yung makes no sense.

His profile says he is 16.

Okay.I know what your talking about. The reason why I was soooo confused was because you said that since he is Korean, he may replace Yung and that made absolutely no sense. I agree with you but the whole Korean thing, No.
