Maybe I was referring to that GG dispute. Fair enough, though. You have a point, they've gotten more slutty. Mina ftw!

Lizardman...yeah they need to cover that guy up, too scaly. xD

They finally got a dual-wielder. I was hoping for a Mitsurugi-rival Dual-katana wielder... but I didn't think it'd be a woman.

Still, nothing beats the original cast.

Shura's got nothing on Taki, Mitsurugi and Yoshimitsu.

And Setsuka's got more class.

Nonetheless, Shura and Hilde are the only new characters I have any interest in so far.

And Hilde's the only major addition, the rest are guest characters (if someone challenges this with the 'bonus/guest' thing, I swear to God I'll hunt you down..., or just ignore you xD).

All the "Bonus" characters are new as well, aren't they? The only thing that sets them apart from being a major addition is that they were designed by seperate artists who also designed famous anime characters.

But because of that fact, they do look a little out of place.

But they're still characters that are canon and new to the SCIV world, aren't they?

Unlike Vader and Yoda, who I hope are just guests for IV and won't be staying with the cast. -.-;

EDIT: Unless they're the same type of BONUSES as in SCIII... where they're simply CAS mods with names and stuff for the single player campaign. -_-''''

EDIT 2: However, that being the case... Damn this game's CAS mode is a step up from the last.

Yeah that'd be great inside info for CaS.

I really doubt we'll see any new male faces at this point...

When they were anounced as bonus characters I thought that they were the same as bonuses in SC3 thus not canon, if Ray originl thought is right and they are part of the story that would be awesome, but I don't think they count, in which case, we need some more new canon characters

there r lots of bonus I wonder y

1 thing I hope namco does is, that when u go to the shop u can buy the costumes from SE, SC, SC2, to SC3 but I doubt it

^I sure wish that would happen I'd love to get Astaroth's p2
costume from sc2

Please, I am the darkness, and I say this with all due respect, stop double posting. It is against forum rules. If you have something to add, edit your post, do not double post.

The past costumes is a good idea, I'd like to see an up to date SC1 Mitsurugi.

doh I'm sorry Wu =( and oh yea I'd like to see Nightmare's SC2 costume

I doubt you can buy the previous outfits! But I hope they have more than 2 outfits like in SCII.

And here's a better scan of Shura.

I just love her face and that skull she has on her right shoulder. Awesome.

You know what, I'm thinking this woman may be based on Kojiro Sasaki. In the scan it shows Mitsurugi in a side pic (who is based on Musashi Miyamoto, Kojiros real life rival) thus, maybe they're rivals in the game and maybe she's supposed to be based on Kojiro. It would explain the double katana's and wakizashi's and may make for an interesting story.

I think she's based on an anime characer named Shiki.

Also; here's a pic of Ivy and Shura



SLUTS!

That's what they are battling for...who's more 'slutty.' It's supposed to be some ogre skull. How does someone take advantage of four swords? :S
