I actually think that center spot gets filled with a guest character, bringing the launch roster to 21.

Locks (15)
Mitsurugi, Sophitia, Kilik, Xianghua, Maxi, Taki, Ivy, Nightmare, Astaroth, Voldo, Cervantes, Yoshimitsu, Darth Rival, new #2, guest

Probables (6)
Siegfried (as a unique character), Raphael, Talim, a Korean, Lizardbro, lolEdgeMasterlol

DLC locks (4)
Tira, Zasalamel, Setsuka, another guest

DLC possibles (???)
Hilde, Cassandra, Seong Mi-Na, more guests

I think Li Long, Rock, Dampierre, Algol and all the SC5 kids are gone. I was hoping they would rework ZWEI's style but I don't think that's going to happen now.

Um. What the hell is "Colour 1" and "Colour 2" and why isn't it two completely different costumes? Gods, give me strength.

In regards to the character select screen I have an idea about why atm it doesn't look like a lot of characters and my theory is that it has something to do with the story mode. I know everyone is tired of me saying this but I believe the story will take place over multiple game timelines, and as a result of this I think there will be different layers of the character select screen with different themes per timeline. Maybe happy, cheeky Sophie is in the SC1 select screen, along with all SC1 characters plus potential new characters introduced in that timeline, and then the SC2 layer adds Talim, Cassandra, Charade, Necrid, Raphael, Yun-Seoung. The SC3 layer will add Setsuka, Tira, Amy, Zas(Abyss and possibly Night Terror?), and as it also marks the spot where Sophitia's personality changes, maybe the SC3 and 4 layers will have the more solemn Sophitia. You get the jist.

Am I being too hopeful? Maybe I should help make the game lol.

I really hope your theory is correct sounds cool.

Because I'm not 100% sure they will make his movelist separate/give him his own slot. I think they will, but I'm not sure.

That's a fair assumption. Since Sieg and Nightmare were technically the same character it would give them the excuse to cut him. But Seig has been his own character for a while now, it would be a shame if they did that.
 
I am expecting the following characters undoubtedly:
  • Nightmare
  • Siegfried
  • Kilik
  • Xianghua
  • Maxi
  • Taki
  • Cervantes
  • Ivy
  • Astaroth
  • Lizardman
  • Voldo
  • Dualblade guy
  • Dualblade guy's BFF
  • Mitsurugi
  • Sophitia
  • Yoshimitsu
That would be the "core" roster for the main story (remember, Nightmare already exists because the Evil Seed has happened, so Schwarzstrom, the Temple trio and our Greek warrior) and we're already at 16. Which means 4 are left. Counting at least one guest (although, hey, we might not have one), 3 spots are left.

So we have to consider the following: New girl character (because I doubt they'd make just new guys), returning character, boss character. Alternatively, another character, with Character Creation, if it comes back, being center.

So, possibilities:
-Seong Mi-Na, who was already in Soul Calibur
-Hwang, same as above
-Edge Master (depends entirely on if they want to make a mimic character)
-Like in Soul Calibur V, a returning character with new moveset (ie: Patroklos-> Alpha Patroklos). The most likely candidate here would be Nightmare, because if something must change the course of history is Siegfried breaking free one way or another sooner than he must.
-Rock

I don't count Rapahel because he's literally out of the picture story wise until SC2, and well, let's be honest, off the characters I listed above Edge Master and Mi-Na have more chances to come back than anyone else, so...

Let's put it like this now:
  • Nightmare
  • Siegfried
  • Kilik
  • Xianghua
  • Maxi
  • Taki
  • Cervantes
  • Ivy
  • Astaroth
  • Lizardman
  • Voldo
  • Dualblade guy
  • Dualblade guy's BFF
  • Mitsurugi
  • Sophitia
  • Yoshimitsu
  • Edge Master
  • Seong Mi-Na
We're already at 18. Taking shape, isn't it?

I hope the buffoonery with the replay camera, especially in the Gamespot previews after the ring outs, is just the player messing around and not a stupid glitch.
 
One of game play videos we see the menu after a offline fight and it's the same as SC5 with just rematch character select and main menu nooooo we need button configuration and stage select there aswell :(

Also SCIV's end-battle music! I reckon they're all placeholder.
 
:/

The idea of getting only 21 characters is quite problematic imho, especially if the game has been in development for 3 years now. They'll probably rely on DLC to get money from us.

So far, if the 20-21 chars roster is confirmed, I will probably think a bit longer before buying the game...

I highly doubt we will only have that many characters (if we do I'll be really shocked) this is an early build of the game so is subject to change. And like someone else mentioned, we could get multiple pages that have more characters on.

If not, and the base is 20/21, then they will probably have character DLC (which I could see them doing for SCV characters)

I would love them to reintroduce the Creation only styles too from SCIII, they were awesome! Or, have the styles of removed characters for creation if they're not going to have the actual character.

I do hop the number of characters is a placeholder. It might be a reboot, but cutting characters introduced in II to IV would be the last nail in the coffin for the series, especially if they focus on DLCs.

I'd be terribly disappointed if we got less characters (not counting the mimics and Oprah) than in V, especially with all the cut styles (Zas, Talim, Yun) they should reintroduce...
