SoulCalibur V Interview with Producer Tago-san

Ivy is so freaking ugly. I don't know why she's so "popular". I can't wait to discover a million ways to auto GI her with Xianggy or whoever takes her place in this game.

Also, I noticed the health bars decrease in larger increments this time around. D: That's horrible. It'll make the fights shorter and less exciting. What about the fun of the fight itself? I'm not liking this new game one bit.

It still takes place on planet fight too. *sighs* We need some more interaction with the surroundings. Are there only two people in a world at one time? Gimme a break..
 
Keep in mind some of the flashes may be a form of special mode as well. I'll be trying her out at EVO though!
 
Pasting this from before.
First of Ivy will be the Best. She is pretty much going to be the main character, like how originally it was going to be intended. As Namco wants her for SC6 and so on.

Any lot of interesting stuff.
Right Now SS and CS come from SW. SS now has Ivy normal Throw start animation. CS now has SS throw start animation. They seem to do the same damage in SC4. Her normal B grab seem to do a bit more damage.

She has a new attack after CL 33B. 214B still has big side step it now come from SW.

CL is now remove. She is going back to her SW and WP stance like in SC3. I think it a good thing cause CL looked weird. Her side stepping seem to be very good. Maybe not as good as SC4 CL stepping, but similar to SC4 SW stepping.

One thing that is very troubling is that they might make Ivy easier to use. I really hope not, Ivy should always be a very difficult character to use. That what make her so fun.

The main character is Patroklos, but maybe in future SC she may take over the role as main character.
 
Keep in mind some of the flashes may be a form of special mode as well. I'll be trying her out at EVO though!

I still think the Red and blue flashes are EX moves, and the color reflects what effect the EX is giving the move.

About the flashing yellow bar, my personal suspicion is that its the 'now you can be CE'd warning'... Since Daishi said there was some triggering factor beyond just having meter. It doesn't seem to be a low life warning, doesn't always happen in the footage.
