First Batch Of Soulcalibur Legends Characters Revealed

The latest issue of Famitsu revealed more details about the upcoming action adventure title Soulcalibur Legends. The title is exclusive to the Wii, utilizing the wiimote and nunchuk for movement and combat. We have some returning combatants from previous SoulCalibur games, Siegfried, Mitsurugi, and Taki. New to the franchise is Isuka, a 16 year-old boy who travels with Siegfried.
Chronologically, the game comes between Soul Edge for the PS1 and SoulCalibur for the Dreamcast. Here are the rest of the details as divulged by the game’s producer, Jin Okubo, and director Tetsuya Akatsuka:
- Story takes place between Edge and Calibur. As we already know, Siegfried changes into Nightmare from SC1 to SC2, so the story in Legends will fill in the gap as to what happened
- Selectable players will be limited at the beginning, but as players progress, they'll unlock more
- Battles come in chunks of 5 minutes to 10-20 minutes
- Each character learns new moves as they level up and are encouraging players become skilled in one specific player
- Not all SC characters will be playable
- Co-op play is still in the works, though likely split-screen.
- Controls will be nunchuk + wiimote. Wiimote primarily for attacking, nunchuk for movement, buttons for as parrying and dodging
