“I wonder what a more mature Ivy is going to be like… wow, those boobs haven’t aged a day…” Still, she’s got an uphill battle in my eyes- you can’t replace Taki and expect me to just welcome you with open arms! Video footage makes it look like she’s even faster than Taki, which could be interesting. Nonetheless, I’ll give her a fair shake before I pass judgement.
I admit that my first reaction was a little knee-jerky seeing as Natsu is replacing one of my favorite characters in the entire series. “What have you done with Taki, you godless jackals?!” I mean seriously, you have this epic vision to impart upon a worthy mortal, and the best time you could come up with to deliver said message is while she’s butt-naked? That’s ancient Greece for you. Wow… Pyrrha totally looks like her mom circa Soul Blade, before she was demon-sword destroying badass and still just a young priestess that totally got spied on by Hephaestus while she was bathing. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and hope that he doesn’t end up being a gigantic annoying douche bag.
I like his fighting style, and that Super Move of his looks pretty sweet too. Just give that sucker a few more scars, a scraggly beard and a blade, and point him in the direction of whoever needs to be cut three ways- long, deep, and fast.Īw c’mon, I can’t be the only one that thought Patroklos looked like a woman in the debut trailer! So this is the new hero of the series, eh? Alright, he seems cool enough. He’s still that quintessential ghetto-assed ronin he’s always been, and I’m glad that Namco didn’t change him up too much. Mitsurugi is back, and looking exactly like I imagined he would 17 years later- dirty, grizzled, and dangerous. According to the story that’s been released thus far, Siegfried is no longer in possession of the Soul Calibur, which brings his weapon back to the old-school zweihander that would probably make Cloud Strife fall into a phallic rage. Siegfried’s been through all sorts of changes and redesigns throughout the series, and he’s come a looooong way since Soul Blade.
There was no doubt that this guy would be back. “There is no Soul Calibur without Siegfried.”
CUSTOM SOUL CALIBUR 5 CHARACTERS SHREK UPDATE
I’ll be sure to update this post should any more characters be announced down the line. Little by little we’ve been seeing which characters are going to be in the game, so I’m offering my initial reactions as well as my take on the roster.
