New Soulcalibur IV character revealed
In the latest issue of Famitsu, a new character for Soulcalibur IV has been unveiled. Her name is Scheherazade, and she joins the cast of fighters using a rapier for a weapon. A Raphael clone perhaps?
One odd noticeable trait of Scheherazade is that she has pointy ears, almost looking elf-like. Her character portrait is also drawn in a different style from the other mainstay characters. We're not sure what that could mean, but we won't read too far into it. The name Scheherazade sounds familiar, especially to this blogger. One Thousand and One Nights anyone?

Ivy's breasts could be a character on their own.

And it's also the name of Rimsky-Korsakov's symphonic suite, based on the The Book of One Thousand and One Nights (mentioned above). If you haven't heard the music, check it out, it's awesome!
Nice that there's another Soul Caliber character--I definitely like the name on this one! Maybe she'll have something to do with a Russian or Arabian fighting style or weapon type. Or maybe they just thought the name sounded cool.
