Not a whole lot to go on, but hey... it's Soul Calibur. You know you want it.
Most of what we have so far is a list of recurring characters:
Ivy
Mitsurugi
Sophitia
Siegfried
Taki
Voldo
Nightmare
Tira
Yoshimitsu
Raphael
Astaroth
Cassandra
Just shown for the first time, Hilde. New character, wields a spear and short sword, and wears a pretty nice looking set of armor.
Siegfried looking nice and shiny.
Nightmare, completely badassed out.
New trailer can be found here. TGS 07 is the newest, showing us Hilde in action for the first time.
A serene backdrop/battlefield to leave you with.
Previous threads have degenerated into "OMG teh boobz" discussions... let's keep that out of here, please.

If I threw pictures of Taki, or Sophitia's side-boobs, I'd have to throw the NSFW tag up.
This way, everyone can participate. Think of the children.

Looks awful. So far from what I have seen, I am very disappointed.
I loved SCII and III, just look at those videos. I mean, yuck...
Also it's Soulcalibur now. Not Soul Calibur.
Probability of the armor chick having a skimpy as shit 2nd or 3rd outfight? High.
It seems really quick, and somewhat jerky.
Anyone else? Or am I just getting slow in the... eyes.
fake?
And I must say this game sounds fucking awesome from the 1up interview. Legends doesn't look too shabby either. Oh and yeah, that has to be fake Zephry. Kratos wasn't mentioned at all.
I have to say, that would be pretty awesome.
Very fake.
As shit. Those are old pictures on the cover, maybe from the soul calibur 2 cover? Not to mention it is labeled as some guy's in the corner. Also they wouldn't have cover art this far out from the release date.
Veeeeery.
But the idea could be real.
Oh yeah, those HAVE to be fake.
After being mystified by the huge jugs, I noticed it doesn't even look like she's holding her weapon properly.

I'd probably try Hilde as I have a thing for spears/polearms in all games, and played Sueng Mina despite her issues in 2.
Of course I don't own a 360/PS3 so all this is pretty irrelevant.

The hair....I would be lost without his hair.
1UP: We really liked the create-a-character mode... Will you enhance this for SC4?
KS: This is another element that we've put a lot of effort into. This mode reappears in SCIV, and we have a lot of new options and it's been greatly enhanced. For example, you can now change the character's voice. We're including many more appearance options, and the different parts you choose will have actual meaning and affect gameplay.
1UP: Will you add online play to the game?
KS: Yes, the game will have online play. What's changed this time around is that the next-gen platforms have network infrastructure already in place, so it's much easier to develop an online component for SCIV. We've heard from fans that they really want SC to be online, and we truly wanted to deliver that, so we figured that with the current environment we couldn't make SCIV without online play.
1UP: Any thought to making a created character's strength change depending on what he's wearing?
KS: Yes, according to what items your character has, their actual abilities will change.
And yet the Wii gets no love.
No love
Welcome to the things you could have complained about with Soul Calibur III but really thats old news now.
猿も木から落ちる
Yeah, it totally doesn't get its own soul calibur game that's made specifically for the hardware?
I'm complaining again. This time with a console that has outsold the other two.
Bought.
I cannot resist the call of hobo hitler ninja fights.
Why, whatever could you be talking about there?
You're completely delusional man.
It's sort of the same with resident evil I guess, almost feels like a trend...spinoffs designed with their own engine and goals in mind instead of the "next-gen sequels" that the other consoles get.
The wii never seemed really suitable at all for arcade type fighters (not smash bros), anyway.
I made a pretty cool ninja William Shakespeare.
I named him Billy Shakes, and he was awesome.

Had it been at least comparable in power (and they could certainly have done this at a USD 250 price point, even if it meant taking a slight loss from the get go), you can bet your britches they'd see iterations of most of the 'big ones' (aside from, well, stuff that the control scheme is just blatantly unsuited for, like... well, fighting games).
Now, where were we? Oh, yes. Soul Calibur (None of this pansy single word stuff.). Hilde looks great.
Siegfried and Nightmare look awesome, and Cassandra (my other favourite character) looks nice in her art, but her ingame face looks like a demented monstrosity spawned from the foul depths of Tartaros.

The team at Namco probably just looked at the Wii Remote inquisitively and immediately thought "What the fuck?" Shortly thereafter someone probably blurted out the word "spinoff" in panic.
Still I don't mind. Legends looks to be coming along pretty well now. I will have to find a way to get in some time with Soul Calibur IV at some point though.
Anyhow, not sure if I'll get this. Then again, it has online multiplayer (I hope) so I may pick it up.

The latest game in Gravis Pad utilities series.
Soulcalibrate!
I'm pretty sure it was by something like 820,000 vs. 780,000 copies. I mean, sure, 40,000 is a lot, but take out Link, and where would sales numbers have been?
