So here's a quick recap for all those that have been trying to follow along:

Wario was all:

And then Ruzbeh was all:

Then Gaime goes:

But Drinky went:

Then Gaime replied:

And Drinky went:

Thanks to IAmTheFMan for putting all this together!

[terrene]

Deep in the hundred acre wood
Where Christopher Robin plays
You will find the enchanted neighbourhood
Of Christopher's childhood days
A donkey named Eeyore is his friend
And Kanga and little Roo
There's Rabbit and Piglet

But most of all Winnie The Pooh!

 

[terrene]

La la la, I'm going to be in a swordfight today, what should I wear? Tee-hee, next-to-nothing ought to do it -- and how about that see-through skirt!

[SatelliteOfLove]

his name is Olcadan

Minor owl deity of Celtic mythology, but "Owl Guy" to Brigid, Lugh & Co.

 

[shattyboombatty]

 

[Suburban Cowboy]

so in the story of sc3, who supposedly won sc2 (you know how ryu supposedly won in the original street fighter)?

 

[Vormund]

Looks like Raphael did. Barely.

 

[Helznicht]

This shit's even infected WoW's boards; it is its own Beast.

Boards? Try Fing ingame. IF was getting "ya rly" yelled everywhere.

 

[Kiriku]

So did the owl thing really start at GAF originally? I thought someone just brought it here...

 

[Error]

it started at SA then brought to here in the Thursdayton thread

 

[GeoNeo]

I thought it started at something awful forums ?

 

[Manabanana]

Okay, now i have played SC and SCII but he looks a little um "special" to be voldo wouldnt you agree ?

Underneath the picture it says, "Voldo 2P color."

 

[polg]

That name sucks. His name is Owl Guy.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

So, how about that OPM demo?

The review was right, the game speed is pretty crazy fast; but it doesn't feel uncharacteristic for SC.

I was using Kira for the raging nipples (actually I didn't notice der nips until the second round - NIPPLES?! Take that bump mapping and blooming fx!) and for the simple fact she's not that god damned lamer Mitsurugi. She reminded me a bit of Cammy because of the hard slash and kick aerial move that can be modified with any of the three attack buttons.

I can't wait for the final game. My buddy and I kept playing it over and over.

Those owls are going into create a character and getting named O RLY and YA RLY. :lol

 

[Brandon F]

Really hoping the black screen pause between combat rounds is removed in the final. Game should also look nicer in Pro-scan/widescreen, neither of which the demo support.

Though limited in the demo, the CAW is nothing more than slapping new skins on existing fighters. Dancer=Voldo; didn't create a ninja class yet. This isn't so bad really, freedom to create a Cassy/Mitsu/whomever of your own. Equipping different item combinations adjusts 'personality' sliders that seemingly serve a purpose?

Fighting is -blazing- fast now, really catches you off guard. Some neat distortion effects going on during certain moves/hits too.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Really hoping the black screen pause between combat rounds is removed in the final.

I assume it will be gone since Namco has been pretty good about that in all their games.

Hmmm - I didn't even mess with the Create A Character mode. :X

 

[Sweedishrodeo]

i think soul calibur 2 may be topped...

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Well it's the best Shantae I could manage with the limited options in the demo.

The damned thing reset on me while I was fiddling with my electronic picture taker. So no full body shot, which is okay because those pants simply would not do.

Hopefully I can make a 90% Shantae and friends in the final version.

As well as resurrect some Toshinden favorites.

That looks like Goddess Athena.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Yeah, like I said - as close as I could get with the demo.

I'm hoping the proper hairstyle and accessories are in the final game. Which shouldn't be impossible since they're nothing out of the ordinary.

I wonder if you'll have any control over body proportions? A scrawny Rungo and B Cup Sophia simply will not do.

 

[Mike Works]

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

O RLY

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[Ferrio]

Oh crap didn't realize it was coming out this month.

 

[NotMSRP]

A link to the Nintendo thread where the owls originated from?

 

[Ferrio]

They didn't originate on this board.

 

[Shadow Moses]

man, you guys are killing me :lol

 

[Hyoushi]

They didn't originate on this board.

Exactly. At the time of that wednesdayton thread explosion, Gamefaqs' LUE forum already had this whole archive of owls to be seen. So definitely not a first on gaf.

 

[Ferrio]

Like many things I'm sure it originated at SA

 

[Anyanka]

so in the story of sc3, who supposedly won sc2 (you know how ryu supposedly won in the original street fighter)?

Raphael fought Nightmare as the last battle. Raphael ended up getting Siegfried to control himself, who then took the Soulcalibur out of Soul Edge and stabbed Soul Edge in the eye. Siegfried is now freed from Soul Edge while SE has posessed his old Nightmare armor.

 

[Vormund]

I was using Kira for the raging nipples (actually I didn't notice der nips until the second round - NIPPLES?!

 

[JasoNsider]

Does anybody know if this is going to support widescreen? This game has such beautiful backdrops so I hope it supports it.

 

[Miburou]

Does anybody know if this is going to support widescreen? This game has such beautiful backdrops so I hope it supports it.

Seeing as how SCII did, I don't see a reason why this shouldn't.

 

[JasoNsider]

Oh, to be honest I never bothered to check in SCII's options menu for that. I just assumed that since most stills were released in 4:3 that the game only had that option. You know what they say about assuming!

 

[Solid]

new wallpaper get! owl guy included!

just change to 1024 or 1280 if you want them bigger.

 

[Deg]

I dont get it. Where did this Owl Guy come from in thr SC series?

 

[mr_sockochris]

So is Owl Guy an actual proper charcter? I always assumed it was just an example fighter of the create mode.

 

[Xellotah]

I have to say that is one.... cute owl... I mean look at his cute beak..

 

[Xrenity]

I bet the devs are reading GAF.

THIS CAN"T BE COINCIDENCE

 

[Outcast2004]

That's Voldo's normal 2P costume.

I'm gonna call it right now; casual players are gonna love this game, but hardcore players are going to absolutely HATE this game after a couple of months.

I'm just pissed that they made it PS2 exclusive..... WTF?

Yes I'm biased, only becauuse my PS2 is dying a slow painful death. Having to redo the white cog everytime I want to play a game of King of Colosseum 2... ergh

 

[Piepz]

new wallpapers just change to 1024 or 1280 for higher res.

These could be next-gen target renders for SC3/4

 

[SolidSnakex]

They put a new interview for the Chronicles of the Sword mode. It sounds pretty cool

Yes. Where you move your unit, how you command your unit and what type of unit you select will be critical. The unit type that you select will not only affect the map battles but also the SOULCALIBUR fighting, so it's pretty important.

Wow! So your unit type affects the strength of the character's fighting?

Yes. If you select a knight, your defensive ability will increase, but the speed of your 8 WAY-RUN will slightly decrease.

As you defeat enemies you gain experience points and you will get stronger and stronger. As your level increases, your attack, defense and health gauge status will all increase.

Great! You can go shopping!

Sure. You can buy a strong weapon to defeat the boss.

Wait a minute? There are bosses?

Certainly. There's a boss in every Chronicle. Haha!

Make sure the check out the other interviews from Kimagure Watcher, they're pretty entertaining.
