I was doing some thinking and realized, this game will probably have Yoshimitsu the 1st back.

That's kind of cool. Will his old outfit & moveset return as well? Will Yoshi the second be an alternate outfit? Hmmm
 
I'm sure Edgelord is some kind of Star Wars guest character...

Isn't the gimmick with Yoshimitsu is that he looks radically different in every installment? Though, they could just do a revamp of his SC1 costume if we're expecting the same treatment as Mitsu and Sophie.

Half black, half white hair? I feel like we've seen that before...

They've done more than one Japan-associated character whose European. Just a thought since SCV's characters felt out of place. Maybe it's that CyberConnect2 union that led to those trash designs? I mean even ZWEI didn't really belong.

ZWEI had that wolf motif, but I'm guessing Mr. Edgy is probably a yin-yang motif. I mean what are the tiger and that olive branch in Rugi's and Sophitia's art for?

I'll remain skeptical. I think Verge hinted Edgy was a bishie. Oh boy...

And if they are indeed rivals, what did Kilik ever do to him?

I don't have confirmation of that, but is a personal speculation due to his body type, outfit, and stance that he probably is.
Whether people like it or not, a bishie hasn't exactly been done yet in the series.
And bishies aren't automatically bad design types. Street Fighter's Vega is one of the best of all time and he subverts the whole trope by being a narcissistic serial killing psychopath who hates to the point of wanting to kill all people he deems ugly thanks to his ugly dad killing his beautiful mother, rather than being someone people are supposed to actually find attractive, in-universe women should fear and be weary of him and not fall prey to his beauty and tricks.

Furthermore, looking at something like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which is filled to the brim with bishie guys doing gar things and I personally am a fan of it and that's a great series in my opinion.
So it's not that bishies are automatically bad designs, because they aren't.
But there are a lot of bad bishies that exist that series have created, sure, because some are lazy or stereotypical, but people will argue that it's a preferential thing to like or dislike them in the first place.
It's like saying gar men are automatically bad, too. Both statements and stances are ignorant and preferential.
There are great bishie designs the same as there are great gar designs.
You just have to keep an open mind and not shit on something just because it falls under a certain banner, but judge the character by itself and what the writers do with it.
 
I don't like Cassandra either for pretty much the same reason. Annoying to fight, and her attitude makes it even worse. I get why other people like her though. I just don't have patience for them personally.

Vega is one of my favourite characters in a fighting game. If Edgy is anything like him then I'll be happy (even more so if he fights similarly to Kilik) :D Though I find it weird to imagine him being an Edgelord but being like Vega too because that's two very different personas.

As much as I like Amy, I wouldn't wait for her, except maybe as DLC.

I know that, probably, likely, but any way of having her at all will make me happy. Though unless they rewrite it, she's important to Raphael's story.

Also, Z.W.E.I. is not the Dual-Blade user. It was already said that the character is entirely new, and, lets be real, if Z.W.E.I. was returning, the most different thing it would happen to his moveset would be getting a E.I.N.less version of it. You're making an extreme stretch to make one be the other, its not gonna happen.

I don't think it's too much of a stretch, but we'll see. Only way to find out for sure is when they show more about the character, or even if they're keeping it under wraps, when the game comes out. I'm not saying he's literally Z.W.E.I., but he's the man who becomes Z.W.E.I., and that would be in the story.
 
The assassin part is promising at least, but the blades look a little too bulky for an assassin.

A part of me thinks he might be after those affected by the Evil Seed. Maybe a connection to the three treasures?

Except that wasn't even reflected in his in-game model. lol
They really failed pretty spectacularly with adapting ZWEI from art to model. Most notably is that his face looked like some kind of Wyatt Russell looking shit in-game.

To be fair the SC team drops the ball a lot when it comes to making the renders look like the art. Look at Viola for example. All of the colors are way off lol

Never forget her.... "growth" that wasn't reflected in-game either. lol

Being completely fair, that character artist has a thing for drawing oversized breasts on everyone (see also Tira for an obvious example). And whoever did the character models for SoulCalibur V didn't quite want a repeat of SoulCalibur IV, so they toned it down a bit instead of taking them literally.

Not even just the breasts though (especially since if Sophitia is anything to go off of, we're going back to SC4 sizes lol), just the colors.

I like that they borrowed the whole 'demon sealed inside her' thing from Naruto
Click to expand...
Even though a lot of people refer to Natsu as femNaruto (including me), but the thing about "demon sealed inside" is older than feudalism and has nothing to do with Naruto or anything like that, as this concept is exploited in a lot of tales, stories and cultures. Besides she has not that much in common with Naruto and this usually just used to describe how out of place she is in SCV (in her current version), than to actually literally compare them to each other.
I agree with everything else though. I'd appreciate Natsu's return only if she will get a different from Taki moveset (and won't be a replacement anymore), if we get Taki first and if her personality would be changed to fit more her profession of ninja, situation of being half-possessed by demon and times of events - if any of that won't be done, Natsu is unwelcome in SCVI for me.

I hope that's just because of lighting.

I'd hate for his hair to be like that too.

Agreed. Multicolor hair in general look pretty ridiculous in my opinion.

His second outfit was pretty cool. If it was his base one, then it would be pretty nice.
