If it isn't the Burger King and the Harlem Globetrotters, it's not good enough.
Thanks, but it's just the 25 most probable given the year the game is set and what the series has established. It's not a personal list or a leak or anything, just logic, assuming series consistency.

The sad, REAL American dichotomyAbout Tira's going around: Isn't she some sort of malicious spirit or something? She's probably not traveling by boat or horse-drawn caravan and stuff. I'd expect her to be teleporting all over the place.
My DA account... I draw stuff sometimes!![]()
You know, even though I'm the person who contributed that trope to this wiki, I'm kinda creeped out by its use here.
Also, she's not that sexy.
The sad, REAL American dichotomyFor "sexy" for me, it's not about what she's wearing so much as it is personality. While I never found her original design sexy even before playing the game, playing as her confirmed it.
Like... she's fine, I guess, but just not for me.
I'm not saying you're wrong that that trope could happen here. Just personally, I don't see it. Like... I imagine if it happened it'd be significantly older dudes trying, then she'd kill them anyway.

The sad, REAL American dichotomyIt's just my tastes, but I'm not going to uniformly put down SC 3's designs. Setsuka had appeal, and Zasalamel was inspirational (before they dialed it up too much in IV).
When I was 15, Talim and FFX's Rikku (both games I was playing at the time) were my first video game crushes. But they were "cute", whileI found Ivy and Sophitia, and FFX's Lulu, traditionally "sexy". Then came the box for "sexy" Like one of those 3 circle venn diagrams. Under those boxes:
- Some characters are cute, but neither hot nor sexy, like Talim.
- Some are sexy, but neither cute nor hot, like Setsuka (offscreen character development before V helped her get hotter, in my opinion)
- Some are hot, but neither sexy or cute, like... Ivy when you consider her backstory.
- Some are hot and sexy, which overlap a bit more, but not cute, like Lulu. Or Mortal Kombat's Mileena.
- Some are cute and hot, but not overtly sexy, like Rikku
- Some are cute and sexy, but not hot, like... Darkstalkers' Felicia
And there's characters out there that are some other combination, or all three, or what have you. But I personally never saw Tira as strongly as any of those. She just wasn't for me. I can understand others with different tastes finding her "hot", but I never saw her as particularly cute or sexy.
The sad, REAL American dichotomyHe has drawn other characters I've found sexy. I'm sure he won't be bovvered.
The sad, REAL American dichotomyIf we're going on looks alone, I'm waiting to see what Mina looks like under this current art style (preferably with her SE or SCIV costume, a good outfit is often better than just skin), as if the characters were real, she'd be my favorite.
Also, I'm hoping that we finally get more characters, including men, not just from Western Europe and Eastern Asia. As it stands, Zasalamel is the only representative that the remaining four and two-halves continents have. And while it's cool that he's at least black, and therefore personally relatable for me and my preference to cosplay if I ever did, I'd like someone in the series from an actual culture that isn't "inexplicable Magical Negro from Qurac".
- Married to Taki's best friend (and now her clan's leader)
- Trained Maxi
- His sister is Xianghua's friend
- Was canonically Cervantes' last opponent before Sophitia
- Hell, in the (non-canon) manga, his sister was apparently killed by one of Fygul Cestemus' lizardmen.
Like, it would fit the setting that the spirit swords are drawing characters together or pulling them apart, hence how they keep finding each other while crossing Eurasia.
Anywho, back to where we started, Xianglian's SC design?
NICE.![]()

The sad, REAL American dichotomyVergeben is back with more leaks.
Considering he nailed the new character before the game was revealed I think it's safe to say at least some of this is true, though take it with a grain of salt anyway obviously.
There's some good in that. I'd be frustrated if Mi-Na wasn't back, and also if the direction still just seems to be "Western Europe and East Asia" again.
Who is the character in your profile image?
The sad, REAL American dichotomyThat's Ann from Persona 5 . Amazing game, a must buy and one of the best games of 2017.
That leaks is starting to lose some credibility as well. His SF V said Roxy & Sodom would be in Season 3 but there no sign of them.
He also said the cast of Lost Sword would be in the game but the cast of SC 3 to SC 5 would be DLC.
What? The standard Soul Calibur nearly always have all the cast with Hwang & Li Long always getting short end of the stick. Is he saying we should expect Pyrrha, Patroklos, & Leixa to be in the game as well? Also calling major BS on the exclusion of Mina. Prioritize Yunsung over her, absurd.
Not so much a grain as so much as a gallon of salt (that can't be healthy) is being swallowed here.

It’ll be Nakoruru. And she’ll be just as much of a beast as she was in Capcom vs SNK 2.
