Blah, this game is getting too anime-ish.

Who is that?

Her name is Kamikirimusi, I think. She's from Mai-Hime/Mai-Otome series.

She seems to have Siegfried's style. She's a bonus ofc.

This is bogus...stop wasting so much time on bonus characters, Bamco! Or at least let it be a friggin' male.

I agree with u storm, whats with all the female bonus characters, there isn't much new male.

Is Bamco starting to be sexist or something?

and please enough with the bonus characters
show us some real new characters important
to the SC story!

Shame indeed.

However, it's interesting to note that Bamco has said previously in interveiws that while they had character rosters in the 20's, SCIV would definitely have over 30.

BurningPatriot (SCU) sums it up pretty well:

It would be nice if these bonus characters turned out to be a tiny little fragment of what the game actually is, and Namco is saving some nice surprises for us come E3. It would definitely be good of them to give us at the very least ONE more new character.

On the bright side, like I said before, the director of the SC series stated in an interview that in the past they had a character roster somewhere in the 20's... for SCIV it will be in the thirties. This point becomes even more poignant when considering the only new characters that have been released are console exclusive, apprentice, Hilde, and Algol. This brings the total count up to 29 if you count BOTH Vader and Yoda.

I'm pretty sure we have more coming to us.

I know this is just rehashed stuff I'm spouting, but now that we are pretty sure (lol) the bonus' are clones, it becomes more important than ever.

While my hopes are lost for certain characters to make a rightful return... I think we can all sleep soundly with the knowledge that more original Namco official characters are on the way.

Hmm, now I'm curious, and my hopes have been risen again. Come on, Monday.

I have to say though, I don't give a damn about a high character roster count, especially with all the similarities to main characters. That's...Tekken-like.

Guess Bamco are trying to appeal to as many audiences as possible...from Star Wars fans to anime otakus (what Otacon used to be xD).

Ya, I agree with you. It seems that they wish to appeal to as many people as possible and make this game their legacy. I wish they'd put Kenshin Himura in this, but he'd seem like a clone of Mitsurougi. In any case, which ever characters they don't add we can hopefully create ourselves.

Rurouni Kenshin is getting old, why not, someone from Bleach, like Ichigo or Hitsugaya, but then again they r to strong to fight.

So, another bonus character? I want to see some more main characters.

I just realized, SW can be cheap to, becuz of the force, and yea I guess ur rite X3 reincarnated, Kenshin would be better, but DBZ in SC, that would never fit at all and they r also cheap.

Hey what about Jin and Mugen from Samurai Champloo, they r way more human the Kenshin

Lol and they kick butt together. 2 bad ass swordsmen from different backgrounds v.s the legendary, old school samourai which knows no equal. I'd love to see that fight. Jin & Mugen's rivalry reminds me of Kazuma & Ryuho from s-CRY-ed.
