So anyone notice any sort or pattern in these reveals? Alignment, nationality, anything, color schemes? Or is it just random?

Kilik, Xianghua, and Groh were revealed together and their stories are strongly linked but that's about it other than Talim being the next reveal after Okubo hinting at her at E3.

I suppose they could reveal Astaroth/Lizardman/Voldo/Tira or something together if they do another big group reveal at EVO again but I wouldn't count on it.
 
I think it's worth noting that morality around the world is going to be different relative to your own. To put things into perspective, this is the list of age of consent around the world. If you think underboob on a fictional girl is disturbing, you ain't seen nothing when it comes to certain countries (looking at you middle east).

Taki was also hinted at by the Bamco twitter team before her reveal.


I also think they were clever enough to reveal Zas and Ivy on Feb because of Valentine's day and BHM.

Note Talim's homeland of the Philippines.
 
"Grown men designing a minor with sex appeal in mind is kinda creepy" shouldn't really be a controversial statement but here we are.

Anyways, think her voice actress is the same? She sounds a bit different but not entirely. In the same boat as Taki in that regard.
As far as who it is, I have no idea. I've seen in multiple places that she was voiced by Hynden Walch, and other sources say she was voiced by Kate Higgins, though she sounds nothing like her.

Congrats to Master_Thespian! You are winner!

Don't be. He's irreplaceable.

We can assume there are nine character reveals left. Of those nine, the following are safe bets:
1. Voldo
2. Astaroth
3. Cervantes
4. Lizardman

That leaves Hwang, Mi-na, Rock, Raphael, Cassandra, Yun-Seung, Tira, Setsuka and Hilde competing for the final five spots. Or a new character addition.

I agree with your top 3, but why is lizard man so certain? Just from the images?

If so I'd say that since they're looking to SC2 for this one you're probably getting the above plus(in order of most to least likely in my eyes):


5. raph
6. yun (or hwang, not both)
7. cass (part of SCII, but cloneish style so a little less likely).

Supposedly there's 1 more new character for 8, which leaves 1 slot for:

Mi-na, rock, Tira, Sets, Hilde.

Of those-

Mi-na- was actually in SC2, but I could maybe see her not making it?

Rock- I'd be shocked if he was in given that everytime he's in the game it feels like even namco doesn't care. Shame I'd like to see more large characters.

Tira/hilde/sets- all outside the SCII timeline, all decently popular, all with unique and fleshed out styles. I'd put all of them as most likely to hit DLC.



As for Talim-

K. Do we know what her Soul charge does? Actually on that note do we know what most of the soul charges do BESIDES add extra damage on some moves? It seems like most of them have some character gimmick/passive, but I haven't seen all of them listed anywhere. The ones I know:

Groh- gives teleport moves
Kilik- drains hp, ups damage, changes super
Nightmare- Unique in that he can access his outside of SC with some moves.
Sieg- Gets a new move at low hp vs getting it out of his SC.

and that's it? I know all characters get "new moves" with their SC, but from what i've seen its usually just a combo extension and don't actually change up playstyle much (like say groh's teleport options). Do any other characters get special properties due to SC that we know of (i know taki gets chip when using one of her weapons, but that seems to be unrelated to sc?)

It's different. The voice actress is definitely Kira Buckland - she has a distinct voice and I've heard it in many places before.
 
Yeah, out of the remaining SCII and III characters Tira's definitely the most likely returnee. Doubting there being more SCII and III characters is one thing (it's a silly train of thought but at least comes from somewhere) but putting Tira as less likely than Raph, Cassandra, and the Koreans is just strange. You can't even blame story for it since the birds of passage stuff would be really easy to squeeze into the story, giving a couple characters some run-ins with them.
 
I really wonder about Raphael since his semi-clone is more popular both as a character and as a fighting style, except unlike Rock and Astaroth who are completely unrelated Amy's existence pretty much revolves around Raphael so she can't really be in without him. It's an odd situation.

TBH I kind of want to see them put in Amy but not Raph, purely for all the butthurt it would cause.
