I meant more like, of the existing characters, showing their involvement with the story. I'm wondering whether the first trailer will be story-based like Tekken 7 or if it'll just be like hey! we're back! Considering it's a huge PlayStation event, I would see it as a waste not to tease a PlayStation exclusive guest character.

Ummm.. haven't they always been story based? I remember that's how SCV was.

Oh god I completely forgot how bad that trailer was. Still, the trailers have never been full on story before, partly because before SCV each character had their own individual story and there's never been an actual 'Story mode'. The SCV trailer was mostly about Siegfried's SC4 arcade ending and he's not even the protagonist of 5, they just added a slow-mo of Patroklos at the end.

That's probably the reason why.

Honestly, i wouldn't mind them going back to that. It's very rare that a single story mode were almost all characters interact with each other turns out good. I would much prefer it if they give us a good arcade mode with character intros & outros to show us what each character is doing in the current timeline and introduce us to the new characters of this iteration. I'd much rather have them invest more time in other modes or the gameplay itself instead of a story mode that would most likely end up being meh.

I agree. My ideal fighting game would be one that has a story arc that focuses on a few main protagonists and a few main antagonists from the character roster, and then a separate arcade mode where each character has their own personal story arc. I'd rather have a great story mode than an arcade mode but I'd rather they went back to the way it was before if the story isn't going to be good.
On the flip side, I really don't like arcade modes that are just four or five fights long, and seemingly unlinked to eachother. SC2 style arcade mode would be great, with CGI intros, outros, and unique character interactions before fights based on how the character's story goes.

Well according to the leak i'd say Killik will be revealed in the first teaser. Sophitia isn't unlikely since she's fairly popular and Hoshino's favorite. As well as maybe Seig or Mitsu. Not sure about a new character being revealed from the start.

Where did you read that? Last I checked Astaroth is Hoshino's favorite character.

My bad, you're right. I thought he mentioned that on FB in a comment or something but i was wrong. Unless he changed his mind when he became the director & producer.

Wait, where did he say that? I've always been under the impression that Sophitia was his favorite because of the way she has been promoted as the "face" of Soulcalibur since Hoshino took charge. She hadn't had this much prominence in the advertising even before she got cut in SCV, so it's easy to make that connection.
 
Yeah but she was cut in SCV and I don't recall her being promoted like she was when Hoshino took charge.
