Taki's Replacement Revealed?!

[Relius]

I'm kinda glad that the characters are anime-esque. I mean, seriously if I wanted to play as a Roman Gladiator or a character that gives true and full homage to a cultural background and what have you, i'd play the Deadliest Warriors game. Every character in Soul Calibur has always fallen into some sort of anime archetype, anyone complaining about the animeness of the characters should be shot, as they clearly haven't played the Soul Calibur Series.

Taki was like the alpha female of the group. You toss all the bitches into a inflatable pool and have them wrestle tits deep in chocolate pudding and taki will emerge the victor over 60% of the time.

wait wait wait that mean tailm will be the alpha bi**h yay.......

I'm sure we have

Yeah a serious Xianghua, how about a friendly Astaroth and Ivy as a nun.

180° changes FTL.

Friendly Astaroth? Give Ashlotte a less reckless movelist and we have it. ^_^

Heh, Nuns have boobs too. I'm quite sure Ivy is still celibate anyway.. >.>

Man, there are some real haters on this thread, despite the optimism of some, and a few others trying to temprament said haters.

I can see why people might be a little upset with the new design, since we've had taki since, what, '96? Talk about an old favorite. Quite simply, even with her bazooka chest, she's well loved and irreplacible by ANYBODY.

But, seriously, this game is 17 years later, and taki is on the older half of the cast. Her (unconfirmed) replacement should come without too much surprise. I might also dare to say that, while i woulk like to see playable middle-aged taki, if she looked the same as in the old games (which alot of suggestions in posts seem to point to) I would have been pissed of, because that would be really stupid and unoriginal. (which is why i hope they don't do that with Ivy. Matter of fact, they should get rid of her)

This new chick, I really like her design. She's a little out of place if you think of her as strictly a 'taki replacement', with her bright colors and all, but just thinking of her stricrly as a new SC character, I think she is awesome. And like Pyrrah, I think she'll look even better in the game. Cant wait to see how her hair movement is done, that should make her character look even cooler in motion. She definitely looks like she'll be a secondary for me.

Now, bring back my Xianghua, Daishi-san!!
