SoulCalibur V

EBgames apparently has him as pre-order bonus in AU if you don't mind buying from them

Ha, nope, the regular game is $98.00 from EB.

i had a feeling there was a reason you wouldn't buy from EB, but that's ridiculous

Mecha-Astaroth!

And Devil Jin style's footage:



Also this is how it seems to me the game ranks the characters based on their "ease of use" stat:

Easy: Patroklos, Ezio, Pyrrha, Siegfried, Aeon, Nightmare, Mitsurugi, Astaroth
Medium: Leixia, Natsu, Raphael, Xiba, Ivy, DJ
Hard: ZWEI, Hilde, Cervantes, Maxi, Yoshimisu, Voldo
Very Hard: Viola, Tira, α Patroklos

It's like that everywhere in Australia, I import from the UK and pay $40-$60 for everything.

Doesn't Mitsurugi have a few stances? Surely that would at least bump him up to medium.

Some characters lost 1 or 2 stances. Mitsurugi is one of them if I'm not mistaken.

Edit: Yes, he lost his Relic ctance.

Ah lame, I liked his stances.

I hate Pyrrha more than Patroklos, she's like the worst character.

Hilde's 2P outfit is terrible.

What is wrong with you? She looks adorable.

Unless she's a massive bitch as Omega Pyrrha, then I can't imagine her getting much better.

hilde is going to be one of my mains

couldn't you get the pre-order bonus like that then?

More screenshots from the Gamefaqs leaker:

Spoiler:

1. O. Pyrrha
2. O. Pyrrha's movelist (Sophitia's best move)
3. Kilik
4. Aeon-Kilik
5. Astaroth-Kilik
6. Patsuka-Kilik?

That looks like vampire hunter D, Mihawk and a musketeer, you're just a hater.

Elysium vs Kilik
α Patroklos vs Pyrrha Ω

I think Elysium's 2P is Sophitia. Pyrrha Ω has a demonic arm like Nightmare.
This vid also confirms that Elysium and Kilik are mimics.



And Harada put himself in the game. DJ style looks crazy.

Not unless I want to pay for shipping on top of that $40-$60, I'd have to order from GAME or something if I wanted pre-order bonuses.

Looks like there won't be any arcade endings.
I guess I'm ok with this. I always thought it was extremely boring to have to play arcade mode with every character.

neo doesn't want to see my custom characters. chou, will you do me the honor of witnessing my beauties in action?

As long as your "beauties" aren't huge, muscular women with deep voices and Voldo's style, sure. Speaking of atrocities, Algol's Critical Edge is sooo wrong and disturbing... I think I'm gonna puke.

Algol is seriously one of the worst designs even though he's got Jamieson Price for a va.
