Guess The Next Character Reveal(s)!

I think it's a 50/50. Wouldn't be shocked if we don't get another reveal in 4 days, but revealing only 1 character this month seems odd. It would also make sense to reveal the guest alone or have 2 weeks between him and other chars.
 
I think with a big streamed event this week, we'll get a few more characters. I could be wrong but I feel if you get Ivy, Zas, Geralt and 2 or 3 new playable characters it would be enough to carry them to E3 before needing another build for public events. Then when E3 comes around they can add whatever was announced in April, May, and possibly E3 itself.
 
They definitely wont miss E3 for a reveal, but i don't think theyll stick with one build for 3 months. They didn't do that in SCV iirc, nor would it have made sense if they did.

Also, E3 will be like, 2 months before release so...

It's been 2 months since the Evo Japan build that they're still on. This Thursday makes it 62 days. E3 is 74 days from this Thursday. It's not that big of a stretch. They don't need frequent build updates to bring the game to regional tournaments. The point is to get people's hands on it, not to beta test every character. Hell, Strongstyle only had the 2 character build.

Builds are attached to big public or press events. Here's what SCv's later builds were like. TGS had a playable build with all but 1 character that was announced up to that point (12 total, Viola was probably still a work in progress). Because TGS is a huge event with a lot of press coverage. This was in September. In October, the press got to play the Ezio build, which also had 4 other characters in it(17 total). Cause guest character's are a big story so they need a new build for the press. (What we see Thursday will probably be whatever XBox Magazine played when they were shown Geralt.) In November 4 more characters were announced. In December, NEC got a build to play. It was still the Ezio build. Cause there was no big public or press event since the Ezio build. They just used the most recent build they had.

There just isn't another big press event before E3 to necessitate another build unless they invent their own.

What's with this 2B meme? We already have a guest character, and a pretty darn good one at that. Arguably even the best possible choice.

2B is a cyberpunk anime android from the future, complete with machine guns and a floating sword. She's about as bad a fit as Darth Vader.
 
2B is a move name and therefore cannot be added to SC6.

Adding Soul Charge and “back throws” (as opposed to back throws) is bad enough.
 
If 2B were announced as the second guest character that'd be the hypest shit ever. Even if you don't like her, you can't deny the fact that she would bring in a LOT of sales, just like Geralt will.

Trust me, I don't dislike her. I just recently started to get into Nier: Automata and I am hooked. However, it is just going to get very silly to have more guests that it will solidify how Soul Calibur is known for that and character customisation. (Though Injustice, MK and even Tekken keep on adding more guests as of late.)
