"During the initial presentation, Namco Bandi announced that it would be working with CyberConnect2 (the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja series) on the animations for SoulCalibur V. In the previous games, all the character animation was motion-capture based. And while SCV will have some motion capture as well, it will also include some handcrafted animations--perhaps culminating in some very unorthodox attacks."

Do you think this means SCV will slowly change and become better than SC4 animation-wise?

I think that means we'll see more moves which are physically impossible to do. I don't think the animations themselves will become better as doing animations by hand is much harder than motion capture, especially when trying to make them look realistic.

Tell that to Troika and Valve. The end result is generally less uncanny valley too.

They are now streaming Ace Combat trailer, last time SC5 came pretty soon after it. So if you hurry, you might see it

What's come out so far is pretty interesting, but if this is all we're getting then I'm pretty disappointed. Has Namco officially unveiled Asta/Voila, all is it all by way of gaming sites?

Thanks! Looks like we'll be able to do mini-Evo moments with repeat JG. Viola looks very interesting. I want to hate on the out there character styles but that shit is dope.
