Destructoid: "Aerox continues his streak as my favorite tipper for today by sending in a link to the above trailer. I've been following the progress of Soul Calibur: Legends for a while now, mostly as I think it's an interesting experiment in what Namco can do other than 3D fighters, but the more I see, the less I'm impressed by it.
That clip up there is footage of a gentleman named "Lloyd" hacking his way across a number of different backdrops. "Lloyd" is a character from Namco's Tales of Symphonia, and my -- and presumably your -- first impression is that "Lloyd" is a really stupid name. In a game about fighting with deadly weapons, I can fully accept a guy named "Mitsurugi", I enjoy names like "Ivy" and "Cervantes", and I'm even cool with a character named "Lizard Man", if only because it's an apt description of a man who is also a lizard. "Lloyd", however, sounds like he should be flicking a bee off the gas station hot dogs he's just set out for display, while ogling a picture of Katie Holmes' braindead ass on the cover of OK! Magazine".
An in depth look into the Soul series and their history of guest characters spanning 12 characters, 7 games and 14 years.

Great read. I can't wait for Ezio Auditore da Firenze to make his appearance in Soul Calibur V. Resquiat en Pace fighters!
Woah.. Kos Mos was in a Soul Calibur title? I never even knew she made any cameos outside of the xenogears series.
An amazing article so much work has gone into this .. this is something that all soul calibur fans should check out
It’s not yet known whether Soul Calibur V will continue the tradition of format-exclusive special characters, but for the purpose of this top ten feature those from previous versions will be excluded. Only those characters which make up part of the core experience will be eligible, even if some of them have oddly appeared in the Tekken series also.
and considering that SC5 is 17 years in the future, the only girls that wont be saggy are talim and amy, everyone else is gonna be old
Top 10...Thats easy, start at the one with the biggest boobs as the number one, and so on.
If Ivy is in this game, her boobs will be hanging a bit lower then we are used to from her tho.
Considering this game is 17 years after the last one.
Glad to see Yoshimitsu at #4. Dude has been a beast in every SC game so far.
Jon Lynch: "Soul Calibur is easily one of the most popular fighting series in gaming and has been since the franchise first debuted as Soul Blade (or Soul Edge) in arcades. There’s no denying that one of the many factors of Soul Calibur that helps bolster the popularity are the female characters. Over the years, the women of Soul Calibur have slowly clawed their way up to the top of gaming to sit alongside the likes of the Dead or Alive women."
Alissa Kiss is the best western cosplayer ever. I still think her Cammy beats this though.
