I'd like to be able to play fighting games in front of my family without feeling embarrassed.

Is your family particularly prudish?
Besides, the costume design looks a bit more conservative this time around.

I'm not surprised that it's included Moose, I'm surprised they're using it to talk the game up.

They're not. It's the ESRB ratings description.

I hope that's Voldo's cock piece. He's the only one on the SB/SC roster I've ever fantasized about sexually. I'm just really into bondage.......like really into bondage.

New story trailer:
That channel has a few character creation trailers too. Looks like this mode has a lot of potential, but I'm afraid most people have terrible taste or they will create huge, fat and muscular lolis just to troll.

Well, as far as I know, there are the following modes:
- Story - Arcade (has 4 different routes) - Quick Battle (like Tekken's; you fight created characters) - Versus (and CPU vs CPU if you're looking for a battle theater) - Legendary Souls (boss rush mode featuring bosses from previous games too) - Training - Character Customization/Creation - Online
Assuming the netcode is good, online will be pretty neat. It's got lobbies (up to 6 people), chat, replays and another mode... that I can't tell what it is because I don't know Japanese. http://www.4gamer.net/games/132/G013276/20120113069/

i was hoping for something like a weapon master mode or something. as repetitive as that mode in 3 was i did enjoy it enough to play through the whole thing. i wouldn't mind an improved version of that either.
i guess i'll just hope story mode doesn't suck ass again, though that multiple arcade route has my interest now

I hate that mode in 3, not because it was particularly bad but because I got up to the final mission, saved, then got hit with the save corruption bug early copies of the game had.

There was a way to salvage all your characters and other unlocks (CaC items, concept art etc) but as far as I know you lost your progression in that mode permanently.

Edge Master mode in soul blade is the greatest mode in any fighting game to date, second best probably goes to that world tour mode in SFA3, but that wasn't individualised.
