One more anime-inspired soul for Soulcalibur IV
The anime invasion of Soulcalibur IV is relentless. It never ceases to end; with now having the fifth character revealed, how many more does Namco plan on adding? The latest anime-inspired, original combatant to join the roster is Kamikirimusi. She's some sort of half-demon and is a creation from Hirokazu Hisayuki whose previous works have included The Visions of Escaflowne and Tekken: The Movie.
As we've mentioned in previous posts, all the new anime cameo characters are female. None are male. Perhaps, that's a good thing as it balances out the very male-centric Star Wars cameo cast (Vader and his apprentice for the PS3 version). With Soulcalibur IV's release only three weeks away, it's a wonder what other stuff Namco will hit us with next.

I'd rather have had Kratos instead of this chick but I'll roll with the punches.

Tekken: The Movie? *shudders*
Well the more characters the better, as long as they don't take away any.
One more detail I would like to mention...I know I'm not the only one to notice this. WHAT IS UP WITH THE CELLULITE ADS!?? That is all.

does anybody know if all these anime-inspired characters have endings or not? i'm not sure if i should be excited about them or not yet. if they have no storyline, chances are i'll never use them.

Come on NAMCO! Kratos! announce Kratos!!!

i hope these "fun" characteristics that seem to appear last minute have some actual thought put into their development. hopefully they'll be competent characters and at the same time, not be broken.

Well, the girl design looks like from Mai-hime.
StevenRafael @ Jul 7th 2008 10:50PM
Wait... Are these cameo characters just that? Will they exist in future iterations??
I personally find it pointless to learn a character who doesn't appear in the sequels. I'm still disappointed about Necrid's disappearance.

I think you might be the only one in the world who misses Necrid.

I don't care where they come from, more characters is good! WOOO!
Dwag @ Jul 7th 2008 10:59PM
I was expecting someone like that dude that created One Piece,Naruto, or Bleach to do atleast one character luckily we still have a couple of weeks left.
They still haven't revealed who that new male character is.
Dwag @ Jul 7th 2008 11:01PM
Oh wait I messed up I meant dudes cause I know Naruto,BLEACH, and One Piece are created by different people.

Naxe @ Jul 8th 2008 2:32AM
ICHIGO!! He'll be a perfect fit. come on Soul Reaper : Soulcalibur .... i never thought of it till now. Make it happen!!
ryan @ Jul 8th 2008 8:03AM
dude, it's so easy to make that Bleach character in the custom mode. just black samurai robes + Orange hair + soul of Nightmare. i made him in SC3. :P
Fersis @ Jul 8th 2008 7:35AM
So theyre all girls now ?
Dwag @ Jul 8th 2008 10:41AM
whats the problem with that?
Fersis @ Jul 8th 2008 10:44AM
That is cuts off some creativity on the character design.
But yeah its not so bad , it just curious
sean @ Jul 8th 2008 1:05PM
