Hilde, Maxi, Tira and Voldo Confirmed for SC5!

A few hours ago, Daishi Odashima confirmed on his twitter that 4 characters would probably be revealed during GamesCom, in Cologne, Germany.

Probably 4 characters are going to be presented at GamesCom. Cross your fingers for your favorite character!

We now know, thanks to an exclusive video at 1UP GameVideos that Hilde, Maxi, Tira and Voldo have been confirmed for Soul Calibur 5! GamesCom hasn't officially started yet... so stay tuned for more!

Soulcalibur V - Gamescom 2011 Trailer

 

Rejoice my SC family Rejoice!! Soon SC5 will be in our hands, sooon....

 

Glad to hear that my main is in the game, after having a crap day at college :)

 

1:14-1:16
It seems that whoever doubted the Just Guard might think twice about it after seeing that benefit

 

I'm glad it was Voldo and not some shifty recreation.

Voldo is one of the few characters that, unless it's a CaS, is impossible to recreate

Voldo is just plain weird all together. He has nice moves but weird

 

WHERE IS ROCK!!! I need to make up for my manliness deficiency in real life NOW!

On a sidenote, I'm glad Tira isn't completely ruined. I guess my theory of her becoming a nun didn't happen.

Voldo is a character it would be hard for them to recreate, though, I gotta say, I'm not hating Natsu as much as I thought I would. Granted, yes, she's basically Taki re-skinned, but I think doing this from a story stand point gives them the ability to go in directions they probably wouldn't with previously establish characters without people going "oh, they removed my character." The character itself might be gone, but for the most part their style is still there so gameplay wise, you're not losing them entirely.

 

Maxi looks like he went and became a captain in his time between games; Tira looks slightly less bat shit crazy now, but at the same time, pretty freaky; is it just me, or can you see more of Voldo's face now? And you know honestly? If they balance Hilde out, I really don't think she's going to be that being of an issue. I liked her in 4, I just never dedicated the time to learn her. I know everyone said she was broken as fuck, but c'mon; she was a new character and untested in the field. They may have figure out away to fix her, or balance out the rest of the game to where her previous strengths aren't as glaring.

 

ONLY CARE FOR TIRA <3

looks like her sciv 2p is back but with some changes

i like her 1p costume better... but 2p its pretty cool too..

 

Ok, so lesseeee....

There's what, 26 characters in SC5?

Half of them will be returning characters (talking about CHARACTERS, not character styles). That being said, there's:

-Mitsu
-Seig
-Ivy
-Tira
-Maxi
-Voldo
-Hilde

Out of 13(?), that's a little over half, so speculation time! who's left to show?

-Grown-up Talim (YESSSSSS \[>0<]/)
-still jail-bait vampire Amy, with SC4 look and cheapness and even less personality
-Zas, hopefully buffed up like he should be after a fighting for a millennium or two
-Eeeeevil Killik? Meh, as long as he stays far away from my Xianghua...:/
-Astaroth; I mean, he's like a teenager now. C'mon.
-Still up in the air on this one. But with 35-yr-old Tira still looking 15, it makes me more confident that we'll see my girl Setsuka come back; but for some reason, I think that girl she came across in her SC3 ending (with the knife, trying to kill somebody I think) will probably take her place

....still waiting on BANGOOOOO!! Really, there aren't any heavy hitters shown yet.

AND WHERE IS MY MUHFRIGGIN LEIXIA

 

I posted this in the thread that got deleted...

If you're at the show stop by and say hi.

Also, take a very close look at the models and visuals in this trailer (as best as you can). There's been a lot of work between this and the last. Maybe it isn't easy to notice...

 

I saw Tira and Maxi and threw up a little in my mouth.
I was sort of expecting Hilde and Voldo.
Chances of the characters I want back are slowly decreasing. Lol.

 

Wow!

I thought the trailer was cool. Though it probably would've been a lot better if they actually showed more gameplay of the revealed characters, and not just their CEs. Well, I guess this was their way of "wettin' our appetites" and gettin' us hyped up for their upcomin' panel at Gamescon.

I knew without a doubt Voldo, Tira and Hilde were goin' to make it in this iteration; one's too iconic not to be in, one plays a major role in this iteration's main characters' [the Alexandria family] stories, and one has close ties to one of the first main characters. But even though seein' those three didn't surprise me [though I'm very VERY glad to actually see them, Tira especially], my mind was blown when I saw Maxi in that trailer because I thought FOR SURE Maxi was goin' to be replaced this time around [I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who thought this]...Well, I officially dub Maxi the "Kenny" of this series. He seems to die in every iteration, and yet, never misses an appearance in one...

I'm also surprised to see Hilde retainin' her original weapons and fightin' style. After Tago-san singled her and Algol out to be the cause of the unbalance in SCIV in that ATP interview, I thought they were goin' to scrap it and give her a whole new style. Hopefully this time around, she'll be bad enough to actually have to use more than 4-6 moves to win.

Those who are worried about them still lookin' young, I'm pretty sure their models are still in development. Right now, since the game's still early in development itself, they're probably tryin' to get the characters' base models and moves in, while addin' more detail to them as they go. Perfect example:

Here's Pyrrah from the first SCV trailer:

[Pretty much a CaS design]

Here she is a month or so later in the EGM magazine photo:

[Detailed enough to be a clone of Cass or Sophie]

And here she is in a more recent photo:

[Her own character model]

They're all still subject to change at this point.

 

MAH Hilde is back! :D

Now all we need is Zasalamel and Setsuka and the game is perfect.

Here's Patroclus from the Comic Con trailer:

And from the new trailer:

I think I see the improvement. Sorry for the low-quality pictures.

 

I swear that cat thing is looking right at me.

 

I have to say... they all look great and seem to be living longer lives in the 17th century. Hilde, Maxi, Voldo, Tira... And who else? Well they're still kickin it in SCV but I'm sure all bets are off when SCVI, VII and VIII come around. Surely, someone's gonna have die by then... I like to see some more brand new characters in the next trailer.

 

Let's see... how loud did i scream when i saw Maxi and Hilde? Well, i think this household hates me now.
MAXI!! HILDE!!!!!!! QwQ

 

I think Hilde and Maxi haven't changed dramatically costume wise. Only Tira and Voldo seem to have some big differences in appearance from IV.

 

I loved the stages in this trailer. Noticed the beautiful forest stage when Hilde did her CE.
