Very excited to be back on 8WR after all this time. So far we've got the gameplay trailer, and I thought it'd be fun to invite newer players to the series and/or veterans to spot some familiar moves from Mitsu and Sophie.


I havent played SC for too long so I have forgotten most of the abbreviations, but we can see the following below

Mitsurugi

-BB
-66BB
-MST
-MST BBB
-MST BBB4B
-11_77BA
-66A+B
-A+B
-A+K
-RLC
-RLC A+B
-3B
-22BA
-2K

-B grab (from SCV)
-Soul charged 22BB
-44AA (SCIV)
-33B (SCIV)
-4A (SCIV)

Sophitia

-66B
-AS or TAS B4
-4AAA

Let's have some fun.

Mitsu has MST BBB4B, 11_77BA Series, 66A+B, A+B, A+K, & Relic, & RLC A+B
 
I see his back grab,
his SC5 B grab,
his old soul charged 22BB into
SC4's 44AA into
SC4's 33B (probably some sort of power move all together)
SC4's 4A
 
I saw Mistsu's old 66A from Soul Calibur 2. He will be a beast in this game.

Mitsu
66AA
6B8
6[A] to Mist stance

Mechanics Im noticing
-There is a meter of some sort under the time clock. Probably for supers but not sure about what else yet.

-GI No longer requires meter at this time

Well, I have been looking for interesting moves in that preview and this is what I can get for Mitsurugi

New horizontal move(it seems to be a new 3a) You can see at 0:53
22A from SCIV is back(Yesss! I missed that move)
1A No longer knocksdown in NH(but maybe in CH?)
MST KB No longer NC, you can get hit with the low but block the high, however, the second hit causes a stun
He have a new move which looks like his BT B+K, it seems to be his new 66K. You can see at 2:35 and 3:53
2KB(Same as in SCV, but it seems to deal less damage)
1aB Have a new super cool animation
Another new move at 2:47. Low hit, then mid hit that launch and leaves you in Relic or he can launch itself forward after the low 6:04
He have a new RLC A. He also a new move in RLC(Maybe K?) You can see both at 2:49
Ha have AAA? His regular AA followed by 88/22A+K from SCIV 5:36
66AA from SCII(OMG hell yeah)
One of his regulars grabs is replaced by is A grab in MST
44KB/4KB first hit no longer knockbaks(at least in NH) but it seems that the whole string is guaranteed

I haven't seen his 66K kick or his 3A punch, so it seems that they removed for new moves, if that's the case, I'm going to miss 66K specially, that was one of his best moves.
 
I think Mitsu has a new 2A+B to puts him in a new stance. Mitsu has FC 3B and stuns on normal hit goes into MST.
 
Mitsu looks really close to his SCII version, which is great and remains my favourite to date (I also mained Mitsu in SCIII; but that was mostly due to Sieg being unplayable for me). I am also really digging the promise of the gameplay being close to SCII and V.

Where's the TASB4?! I didn't see it I really hope she still has it from SC3/4.

Some more footage:
https://twitter.com/x/status/939362726580649984

Here's my compilation of Sophitia's moves I saw, hopefully I didn't get the notations mixed up, most are from SC4 Sophitia.

B chain throw
A throw (knee to the nuts can leave them standing still, didn't show KND version)
B,B
A,A
2A
66A+B (still TCs , looks like you can do it as 88A+B and looks like lethal hit move?)
4AAA/1AA (1A doesn't KND)
4AB
3B
4B
22B (can be charged for GB)
44B+K
22 B, A, K
AS K (22 B, A, K )
CH 2 B, B 4 (KND looks it RO too)
66A (Looks like it can be done as 22a)
3A
A+B (aGI)
3A+B
FB 1B has a follow up attack (aGI, but kind looks like her 4B+K from SC4)
4B
9K, A, B (was done from 8wr)
BT B+K (upskirt properties)
9 B+K (hold for UB still there)
44bA (UB)
1K (KND on Run counter)
A,K
11A,A
44A (B CH followup)
2B+K, BBB
44K (like Omega's)

New move with auto gi into low.

After Soul Charge her 4A, B becomes a Guard break and 3A+B has an extra hit which looks like 44B+K that is GB.

After her CE she catches the sword without looking like a badass.

Noticed a blue streak on some moves, I think these moves only might get a Run counter?

Nice analysis, but Reversal Edge lose to Guard Breaks like 3A+BB (3rd Hit) in Soul Charge Mode. They protect you from Chip Damage when the opponent is in Soul Charge Mode.
 
I've seen RLC B, which looks like it now does guard damage.

I've been waiting for someone who knows more Mitsu stance moves & transitions to play the build. Like, what about SCIV's 6B+K? BBB(held)? RLC A? Etc. All I see so far is 3B 234B / 1A / 66BB / B6 for days.
