Yet Another New (Female) Soul Calibur IV Character

tallteen86 | July 08, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360

What appears to be the seventh new character to be added to the ranks of fighters in the new, soon to come Soul Calibur IV game, has made an appearance (presumably, she'll appear on both the PS3 and 360 console versions). She doesn't show as much skin as some of the other characters, but that is just fine.

Personally, I don't find her as cool, or visually appealing as Ashlotte, or many of the other female characters, but she is attractive enough.

The guest artist Hirokazu Hisayuki, has been involved in several anime. Notably; My-Otome, Mai Hime, Outlaw Star, The Vision of Escaflowne, and (what I find ironic) Tekken: The Motion Picture.

I didn't even know there was a Tekken movie....

So, do you think there are any other surprises like this, awaiting people looking forward to Soul Calibur IV? Time will tell.

With this, the seventh new character to join the Soulcalibur IV line up, we're starting to notice a trend. Kamikirimusi, like her predecessors Shura, Scheherezade, Algol Fear, and Ashlotte, is a female fighter designed by a well known Japanese artist, this time by guest artist Hirokazu Hisayuki. Kamikirimusi will fight with a very large metal club/mace and satisfy fans of exposed upper thigh flesh.

Her facial expression seen in the scan above — click through for the full-sized version if you're just visiting the front page — accurately sums up our thoughts on her design.

Quite a few new characters in SC IV, neh?

Again, I wouldn't be surprised if characters appeared as DLC too (including the console 'exclusives', at some point)....

Not as visually appealing as some of the female characters in the game, but not that bad either ^_~

Interesting weapon choice too. I wonder how well she'll play?

  Well they are bonus characters, so in a sense, they are generic, heh. I'm seriously considering writing hate mail to Bamco if they don't show a 'new' solid male SCIV character.

  There is always the possibility of him being released as DLC....So get it then....Or maybe wait until (if it ever appears) there is confirmation of a Kratos DLC....

  Because they feel the fans of the series (primarily males, I'm betting) demand more sexy girls with big boobage, and exposed skin, than male characters, to oogle...
