Earlier tried to share the news at DLike but didn't work the way I wanted it so I'm sharing it as a regular post:

Unreleased characters, rapier expert Raphael Sorel and the Soul Edge-wielding pirate Cervantes de Leon, were leaked in an Esport event in Melbourne, Australia over the weekend! The gameplay footage shows some of their attacks and playstyle plus their Critical Edge moves.

Raphael is a poke-heavy character who can interrupt opponents with quick flourishes of his blade while Cervantes attacks with speed and power & has pretty good mixups and confusing teleport moves. Both fighters featured in previous Soulcalibur games.

We can expect an official trailer in the next few days from Bandai Namco but in the meantime, Enjoy! 😁
