    Ya mean ya wondering about why the hell they even claim to have such an age gap? Its kinda like with Tekken where it supposedly took over a couple of decades and later got retconned with shorter amounts of time?

    I always preferred her clothed outfits in SC2. She looks good in ruffles.

    Have you seen Mitsurugi? The ones who remain the same have a fairly close connection to Soul Edge, and we know that's got an age delaying effect. Seems a bit early to say who's a clone of who when we dont even know their move sets yet, either.

    This makes Voldo... in his late 60s, almost 70s? Pretty good for an old dude.

    Wonder if he'll suddenly keel over in a match because he threw his back out because of all that weird contorting he does? :p

    Someone was nice enough to do an (in English) write up of their experience with the current SC5 build. English isnt their native language, but it gives some interesting mechanic insights.

    Mmmhmm, guess who our new guest character will be? (Naturally, those who do not want to be spoiled should avert your eyes immediately.)


    I'm sure this news will excite many, but I've had it up to here with these guest characters... -_-


    P.S. - I did a quick perspective fix on the leaked pic, should anyone be inclined to play guessing games as to who else is on the roster.

    The only guest character I liked was Link.

    I always liked that long dress that she had. Like, the stripper outfit or whatever was iconic, but it got kinda old after countless hours of single player, and [this] new one is definitely a pleaser. :)

    Ezio!
    Very nice.

    In regards to Ivy, I like that her new outfit makes her look HAWT but is not so skimpy you wonder why she is wearing anything at all.

    ...Not a huge fan of guest characters, but at least this one half way fits.
    *stares at the Star Wars characters*

    Yeah it seemed like they tried to get closer to nekkid with each new game. This new one looks better (not like she's wearing dental floss)

    I'm fine with guest characters as long their presense isn't overly intrusive to the game, like the Star Wars characters were in SC4. Mainly The Apprentice. There was absolutely no reason for him being the sub-boss in Arcade Mode.

    I don't know how it was in SC3, but in SC2, the last one I played before 4, Link, Spawn, and Heihachi were entirely optional. You only ever saw them if you were using them.
