everything is beautiful and nothing hurts

so yesterday there were some new character reveals for Soulcalibur V.

guess who is back and deliciously unaged?





Initial thoughts:

-DAT HAT


-lol bat-motif. for serious, Namdai. you've just like, out-batted Batman. it's getting a ~little ridiculous.
-the concept art looks wonderful but the 3D model is...underwhelming?
-that Raphael is still 32 physically and Siegfried is uh...39? 40? how many years is this time gap again makes my irrational fangirl heart flutter for reasons I cannot discern yet. But the answer probably involves a whole lot of porn!fic.
-seriously. DAT HAT.

and with this bit of news revealed, I am going to bury my head in the sand and not look at anything SC5 related until the game is out. I admit I am doing so in part to avoid all the stupid, stupid speculation/fan theories/awful photoshops that sequels inevitably get prior to release. (I'm okay with going crazy with the fan theories, but only *after* the game is out.)

there were some other characters too, like Xianghua's daughter that got swallowed by lotus blossoms and that sentient suit of armor all the fanboys squeal over. i would say something about them but Vampire Hunter Sorel's epic pimp hat has deservedly sucked up all my fannish glee.
