Soul Calibur V Assets from San Diego Comic-Con!

In preparation for the upcoming Namco Fighting Games Panel at the San Diego Comic Con (the countdown on the front of 8WR is currently counting down till the panel); Namco has released some new assets and character artwork which confirm Ivy, as well as a stage without ringouts.

The most stunning of all this is that the male character silhouette that Daishi leaked to us last week is not Raphael, which I'm sure most of us assumed, but is instead a new character named "Zwei" (German for "two"). He also appears to be holding his sword in a "tonfa-like" fashion.

im gonna be all about me and ask in a form of maxi is returning!

 

this might go under meter, but ask what you need aside from meter to do a Critical edge, and what gamplay specific effects the red/blue/purple flashes represent.

 

all right. today at 4:00 PST, Namco is doing thier live presentation. Ill be there with cameras on. From what I hear, there is playable demos of SV5 there. My source on that is my cousin who is working the event. Filthierich, Tago-san and the rest will be there answering questions which I will be trying to get a few of mine in there.

I wanna ask bout the meter. Can we get a little more info on how it works?

I got a few more. Anyone INTELLIGENT have anything else to ask!!

HRD

Eh, HRD. Can you ask if Armor break is still in the game? I understand its not the best question, but I think it's a simple question I know they will answer

 

ahhh not bad....ima jot that one down 4 sho

keep in mind I dunno if ill even be able to ask questions. But ima be hunting filthierich down like I was a fat kid, and he was cake!!

I can answer the one about armor break without him asking. At some point one of the producers (I think Daishi, read it on here somewhere tho) said he wanted the game to be 'classier' and used armor break as an explicit example of how it was too trashy... So you can just about expect it to be gone.

They have my permission to do that. 10000000%
I won't be sitting like an @$$ next time infront of the screen to make a good outfit by picking some good clothes and then matching the colours just to see my character naked in a 60 - sec round!

... I am sad

I just figure they would have better undergarment to customize... LOL didn't realize how much time you put in your design. Maybe I'll stop my whining, if they add more and better environment destruction...

It is entirely possible that the gameplay could remain and the visual is gone/reduced or vice versa. It's hard to get the full meaning through a translator in 140 characters or less.

EDIT: I wouldn't mind it returning in a reduced fashion along with TTT2's new dirt/water system.

 

Environment destruction could be cool, but I hate equipment destruction. I do hope it's gone.

 

Oh, and I hope that the selection screen will be like the one from SCII.

You mean when you can make the characters say something as they load... I agree I loved that version. But now that we have creation mode i understand them wanting to show the full body!

It just feels awful to see that dress become pieces into a second... Plus I always want the colours to match, at least for me... I just hated that new addition of clothing destruction...
But they could do something that would take much time and effort. The 1p and 2p outfits don't break entirely, perhaps they could add this thing in every piece of clothing; making it a bit worn out... But that's too much...

I don't see how this translates to what you just stated.

Also when someone sent a link to their fan art earlier this month he said "There will be problems if her armor breaks"

Not that that confirms armor breaking or anything, but the amount of random speculation on this board being reported as facts from the producers has gotten ridiculous.

Good research! Yeah, I hadn't remembered it right, but 'players should have the option of it not to happen' implies the same end result really... which is no armor breaks, or at least no armor breaks with actual game effects, and toggleable cosmetic ones.

The latter seems to me to be a joke based on the fact that she's already down to her undies (or maybe that she's not wearing any armor to break :p)

I'm not trying to be lame, I just like looking a intense battle. I think I've been watching Dragon Ball Z too much. But like accessories break off (like a necklace)... LOL okay I'm done about the whole idea.

 

It's actually how you feel about it it. Every person is different and that's good.
And if I want my characters to look like models with their awesome clothes in SC that's not Namco's fault... But I like the fact that they are taking it away...

TBH at first I really liked the idea of equipment destruction.
But it turned out stupid. SCBD's equipment destruction made it more hideous to me... But I get furious in SC4 in online battles... Sometimes my characters are left with their underwear...

The BD version gives me the giggles, I picture people placing tiny gunpowder charges at various significant places in their outfit.

Rereading the tweet, he's either saying its removed or 100% toggleable, the latter of course being the win-win.

If you get a chance to get your hands on it, check to see if command input buffer is back to how it was before SC4.

 

so when the panel starts (in 2 hours and change), will it be at comiccon.namcobandaigames.com, or somewhere else?

Could you maybe ask if Ivy's style is going to have control over the state your in mid-attack, or if it's going to be like SC2 where you have to switch states outside of one, do one attack, and be forced back into a set state?
Having control over her states was a very good addition to her, and it'd be very dumb to be downgraded and have that taken away, especially since they're getting rid of another style. >.<
