Though it's expected of any fighting game, or any game series in general, new customization options in Soul Calibur V are likely to have players scratching their heads in confusion. It will be interesting to see how these four meld with the rest of the roster, including guest characters like Ezio. The three returning characters shown are: the Dread Pirate Cervantes, now somehow resurrected as a human being rather than the undead ghost that he was in previous games Lizardman, now using his human name of Aeon and Yoshimitsu, though he calls himself "Yoshimitsu the Second." Aeon seems to have gone through some more significant changes than the other two, now wielding two axes instead of one as well as the ability to sprout wings and fly. The tail he appears to have may make him a reference to the Chinese legend of the Monkey King. Kilik was more the calm pacifist type, while Xiba is much more loud and boisterous. Though, in terms of appearance and personality, they are quite different. The newest character shown is Xiba, who looks to be taking Kilik's spot as far as fighting styles go. Have a look at the newest additions to the roster of Soul Calibur V in the trailer below:

Now, a new trailer has been released that shows off a few more characters that we can expect to see once the game releases. Soul Calibur V is no exception to this rule, as they've promised that the roster will be a mix of both old and new characters - with the older characters enjoying noticeable changes due to a 17-year timegap. Sometimes the new faces make fans happy, sometimes they don't. As a result, it's expected that developers will add more characters to future releases.

A series can't always feature the same characters over and over again, or it will grow stale and stagnate with the fans. Any fighting game has to be able to evolve and change as time goes on.
