Here are some pictures of her, Shura:
Wow, I'm digging what I see. Even though her outfit is a bit... =_="
Haha, in the two pictures in middle, she kinda reminds me of a female Sephiroth.
And two Katanas...nice. Also her name is pretty cool.

I know.
Her outfit seems pretty cool on the upper part. They didn't had to show her ass. >_>
Also; I'd have been nice with a male bonus character. 2 girls is enough.
Oh and Shura > the other 2

yeah, but there will prob be more bonus characters that'll be male, they just haven't released them yet. Shura is by far the coolest of the bonuses tho, she looks awesome, tho showing the ass really wasn't neccesary. Its looks like she's gonna fight with two swords which'll be sweet, I kinda wish she was an actual character with a story. She should just take Setsukas place, she sux anyway.

Haha I definitely like Shura better than Setsuka in terms of looks. Dunno if her fighting style is as enjoyable as Setsuka's though.
Setsuka doesn't suck btw. She's pretty awesome to play with.

I hated playing as Setsuka, I just didn't like her fighting style

Setsuka > Shura a million times over. Setsuka has dignity, depth and a moveset not designed for a five year old, this Shura thing is just a fan service bonus made for the sole purpose of attracting old pervs and pubescant teens
TBH, if she had some form of pants (American definition) to cover up her thong than she wouldn't be too bad at all, but adding that to the DD cans she's got weighing her down she's just pathetic. I'm losing respect for this game character by character, and it's a shame because Soul Calibur was the best fighting game series in my opinion, SC1 being the best game ever, but now it just makes me sad. [/rant]
*Sigh*, I suppose I still have Tekken to look forward to.

I like what I see, but at the moment I'm praying to god that my favorite game series doesn't turn into that crappy DOA.
And wtf is going with all these bonus characters, what the hell! are there no more new characters related to the story line!?

There are like only her and Ivy wearing outfits like that and you guys are worried it might turn out like DOA?
C'mon. The DOA characters are just ridiculous.

Look at every returning female character aside from Talim. Each one of them has jumped to a new stage of slutiness. Most look as if they've had breast implants and show almost twice as much skin as their previous incarnations. Now I bring you exhibit B, Angol Fear. Need I say more about her? Than of course there is Shura as well. I can honestly see Soul Calibur 5 having Ivy wearing nothing but a thong and nipple tassels. I know it's not as bad as DOA yet, that's true, but it's heading down that road. Just look at the games from Soul Blade to now, how with each game it's gotten that bit worse. If it keeps going that way, it will end up as a new DOA, which is why it makes me sad.

First of all Scheherazade, Angol Fear & Shura might be bonus characters, but they're only manga characters...so they're kinda considered as a guest characters. I doubt they'll be in the later games. Second of all, funny how you say "aside from Talim". Because last time I checked, her panties (or was it a g-sting) was visible. Ivy has always been like that, so let's not mention her. I can't really think of any other female characters who have gotten all slutty. Taki is pretty much the same, Mina is better, Xianghua is pretty much normal, Hilde is all covered, and Amy is nothing. Okey, maybe Cassandra and Sophitia changed and got bigger boobs, but that's only in their concept arts; not in the game.
You're overreacting once again like you did with the Star War thingy. I think Soul Calibur IV will be awesome. Can't wait for it.

Shura reminds me of Taki most. And she has a total of 4 blades...how the hell does one take advantage of that? Better question, what's the point?
Bonus character, guest character, it's the same thing! They are from other series. Setsuka's got a unique and deadly style, btw.Hmm...DoA isn't a bad game. Sure there's the sex appeal, but it's fast-paced action is kick-ass, that and it has one of the greatest ninjas of all damn time, Ryu Hayabusa.

quote takininjaWhether they're bonus or guest, two of them still look slutty and are in the game, so saying they're guests means... well, nothing.First of all Scheherazade, Angol Fear & Shura might be bonus characters, but they're only manga characters...so they're kinda considered as a guest characters.
quote takininjaNo, lets. Yes, she's always been like that, but notice how she gets worse with each game?Ivy has always been like that, so let's not mention her.
quote takininjaIf you were to read what I said properly you'll see that I said sluttier (new stage of sluttiness = sluttier)I can't really think of any other female characters who have gotten all slutty.
quote takininjaBoob implants (you yourself even made a chart showing how they've inflated, or am I mistaken?)Taki is pretty much the same
quote takininjaFair enough, she's not so bad.Mina is better
quote takininjashe's wearing short shorts and a belly top. Fair enough, not primarily slutty attire, but worse than her previous ones, no?Xianghua is pretty much normal
quote takininjaredundant because I saidHilde is all covered, and Amy is nothing.
quote Tiger of Wureturning female character
quote takininjaand they're showing more skin.Okey, maybe Cassandra and Sophitia changed and got bigger boobs
quote takininjaFurther proving my point, thank you. You're also forgetting another one, Tira, who hasn't changed too much, but was still introduced in SC3 (a later stage game) and looks like a whore.funny how you say "aside from Talim". Because last time I checked, her panties (or was it a g-sting) was visible.
quote takininjaI was ranting. You know what that meansYou're overreacting once again like you did with the Star War thingy
quote Rant definitionnow believe it or not, when strong emotions are represented it usually indicates an overreaction, thus why I stated [/rant] so please don't reiterate things I've said, because I know what I've said... in fact, I was the one who said them. [/rant]a loud bombastic declamation expressed with strong emotion

Tiger, sorry but I must rant as well. I hate sentence quote breakdowns, it's ignoring the fact that what we say are DEPENDENT sentences, not independent. If it were independent, we'd likely separate the sentence instead of clinging it to a paragraph. What does this mean? It means that taki's sentences rely on her other sentences, much like what I'm typing relies on what I've said since the first sentence.
Don't take this too seriously, I just hate it.
Mina wins this debate doesn't she? Right on!Oh and thanks for the pictures, taki.

lol, naa I ain't taking it seriously (are you hinting at the old gamegrep bullshit by saying that, if so I'll hit ya
) at the end of the day it all boils down to opinion. I mean, when I'm annoyed I become, in most definitions of the phrase, a total wanker, thus ranting about shit that doesn't matter until it subsides, which it has now. While in the wanker state, my arguementative side bounds around uncontrollably (something which you of all people have seen before 
) thus the rants. Like I've said though, it's all opinion with no definitive answer, thus arguing about it is pointless.Anyway to stay on topic, I don't like the game anymore
They've made Lizardman too slutty
