So Namco is going to be introducing a lot of new features in Soulcalibur IV. They know there's going to be some information overload, so the good folks at Namco have released this very helpful manga guide that details how the game works and some of the new features that will be introduced into the game.
The manga stars newcomer, and good lookin' gal, Princess Hilde Wolfkrone along with veteran, and also good lookin' gal, Cassandra Alexandra. Cassandra helps out Hilde by showing her the basics to the game such as moving, basic fighting and so on. Eventually, Hilde becomes the teacher and shows Cassandra a thing or two about the new game.
Some of the new stuff looks pretty interesting. The levels will have "gimmicks" such as moving walls and armored soldiers coming at you and it also looks like character customization is getting overhauled. I'm going to make a character with a giant bulge and focus all of his attacks to involve his crotch. Just because I can.
Head on over to Japanator to check out the entire manga, which contains some half-nakedness, tee hee.

I wuv chibi Hilde & Cassie. Just something is insanely great about taking these characters to another playing field, and making fun of them. =D
Actually I wonder if this might play off as a skit in-game.
Like the girls would just salute one another, our maybe asked about their A) favorite dish, B) what is their favorite country, C) where to meet a guy in this crazy place...
^^: haha crazy imagination
Bless you, Japan.
The sole idea of making 3d boobs bigger just sent shivers down my spine.
Anyway, I read them all... I laughed, I cried, I came'd a little, but in the end... I learned that I can make BIG JAPANESE TITTIES, KHAZIN!!!11
Also, CHAKA KHAN CHAKA KHAN.
I liked it as a new way to explain the new stuff on Soul Calibur. I also liked Hilde's costumes. She has a much prettier face in the game, though.
You are not as ambitous as you think.
Yeah, I love the chibis. ^_^
The translation was umm...unique...
"Boar charges madly ahead, well said indeed. But strong enemies are all over that place!!"
