Astaroth and Viola Announced at TGS

Tokyo Game Show started today (half a day ago, due to timezones) and already a metric ton of information has been released about various fighting games for the upcoming year. Soul Calibur V is of course no exception with Famitsu getting the details on two new confirmed characters!

The first revealed character is a returning favorite... Astaroth; who if my math is correct, is now 23 years old. The second new character is "Viola"; who attacks with disembodied jewels, very similar to Z.W.E.I. She is working with Z.W.E.I. to accomplish something or another.

Q1 means the quarter of 2012. Like Feb - April. This is just an ussumption.

 

sorry for the second post, accident

 

Maxwell McGee and Hisaharu Tago TGS interview.

I like that he said stats won't be affecting the gameplay too much. Now I don't have to make a trash heap to have a powerful character.

Dont know if someone posted this vid but here it is, the game looks awsome but dont know its me but it needs more emotion and the sound of the swords clashing its not convincing for me at least.

 

here are some of the videos that IGN posted so far. There might be more coming as these were posted about an hour ago.

One shows Asta's CE

One shows some Maxi and Siegfried

And one shows Natsu and Pat

 

So much hate for Amy, lolz

Some people are really close minded.

 

Astaroth looks baws as fuck. The electrified terminals on his back, the skullface, the sewn together patches of green skin? He's like the Incredible FrankenSkull.

Best Asta ever.

 

Yeah, I'm going to hate him even more now. He looks top tier already.

Voldo vs mitsu

I was just about to say it worries me that Mitsu hasn't gone into a stance in any video, and as soon as I think that he went into Mist.

Also...Voldo SC2 4k is back. Yay! Mostly useless, but oh so satisfying.

 

Mitsu's old B+K is back

 

astaroth is officially SC's frankenstein now O_O with plugs on his back~

so as of now, we got:

viola, the little violet riding hood
zwei, the werewolf
astaroth, the frankenstein
and prolly: raphael, the vampire
and most likely: cervantes, the zombie

this game is turning into darkstalkers...

Pyrrah & Patroklos: Hansel & Gretel

 

Pyrrah & Patroklos: Hansel & Gretel

ZWEI vs Mitsu

 

A SC5 joystick!!!

Mitsu has 6B2 back and it looks like his 33B is actually his 66B like it was in SC1! And it kind of looks like he has some form of B[2]

Awwwww yeeeeeaaaaah, Asty's been confirmed!

And it seems like Amy, sorry, VIOLA, is siding with a werewolf this time around. TEAM ZWEI.

 

Also...Voldo SC2 4k is back. Yay! Mostly useless, but oh so satisfying.

Yeah, I was disappointed to see that as well. I really liked his 4K in SC4.
