Was that Soul Calibur V, or Tekken?
I understand the need for promotion and synergy for the upcoming Street Fighter x Tekken game, but between that and Angol, I don't like the incorporation of bare-handed fighters, as it takes away from SC's allure as a weapons-based game. Energy, invisible, or even hand/foot-worn weapons (gloves withstanding) are fine, but save the bare-handed stuff for your other fighting franchise.
On the bright side, the voices sound nice, as do the graphics (naturally). It's great seeing Edgemaster there, as well, though I don't get why everyone's eyes seem so big.

That dub needs some polishing. Not only does Edgemaster need a re-cast due to a vocal mismatch(He sounds like Yun Sung, the chipper boy hero, not the grizzled old Norse warrior he looks) but he needs it due to poor reading of the line in this trailer. His "You lack...[awkward pause]...training" was pretty, well, awkward.
I'm saddened that there were no female voices in the dub. It's not Soul Calibur without the classic cheesy lines such as "This way, ha!" or "Winning is all that matters!".
BTW how involved are the usual anime voice actors in this? If memory serves a few of the LA voice actors, like Lowenthal and Wendee Lee had roles in Soul Calibur 4. If Edgemaster is voiced by an anime voice actor I know, I'll forgive him his vocal flubs lol, especially if it is one who actively goes to cons so I can get a signature as recompense
