Perhaps, like Ivy, she has two stances.
One for her dual katanas, and the other one for her dual wakizashi.

quote Tiger of WuI understand your thinking, but Musashi was the one that used 2 swords and Kojiro only used one. Which really is stupid on Namcos part cuz if they based Mitsurugi is based on him then he should have had two swords from the begining of the series, so i guess they just based him off looksYou 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.

"guest" vs "bonus" character: new characters to stay?
New character Hilde is guaranteed into the SC roster. These newcomers however... Is the list below a bunch of Spawns and Links, destined to only appear once and disappear by SC5, or fully integrated cameo characters with future-full-membership, a la Yoshimoto?

character from: Star Wars
Yoda
creator: George Lucas
known works: Star Wars
character from: Star Wars
Angol Fear
creator: Mine Yoshizaki

character from: A new creation for SCIV created as a nod to his character Angol Mois in Sgt. Frog - they even wield similar weapons
Scheherazade

Shura

Yoda and Darth Vader will not be in SCV since they're just guests...probably. I don't know about the 3 bonus characters though. Maybe they have some roles in the new modes. And I hope Shura doesn't have two stances Ray. Then she'd be hard to play with like Ivy. >_> Then again, I've never bothered to train with her.
www.soulcalibur.com has changed now! The site looks awesome.
Another bonus: Ashelotte designed by guest artist Oh! great;
She looks freaking awesome. Seems like she can use both sides of her weapon.

Wow, Shura is hot! She reminds me of Ivy, but she looks better than her. She has a nice butt too.

Oh and also; if you guys visit soulcalibur.com > characters, you will see Setsuka there. Although, she's one of the character that will be "coming soon". Nice to know Setsuka will be back. ^^

Thats incredably stupid. I don't really care that she's covered up, but come on the game should be the same here as it is in Japan, either cover up both versions of the game or expose both versions of the game.

quote takininjaI already posted that in the other thread. But anyway, that's stupid. Why would they cover her up more in the North American version than Japanese version? They really should have just kept it how it was.Haha, seems like they've covered Ivy's boobs:

I thought I'd randomly pop into the forum and post up more info on Ashlotte. I'm awesome like that
...
quoteJapanese magazine "Ultra Jump" has revealed a new character for Soul Calibur 4.
She was designed by guest artist Oogure Ito (Oh!Great), famous for his Tenjou Tenge and Air Gear mangas.
This 19 year old girl's name is Ashlotte Meideru and she wields a great axe. The scan reveals her to be a mechanical "execution doll", made by the wicked Protestantism group, to destroy Astaroth for his betrayal.
Little else is known about her character at the moment.
She's certainly an interesting addition to the Soul Calibur 4 crew.

Seems like most of you like Ivy's-almost-naked version better. lol I really don't mind that at all. Her outfit is not that important...and it's just her boobs.
