Reminds me a bit of Marvel Infinite.
It's either Sperm or Pollen, which is basically the same thing so.... yeah.
My first thought was: "Is this one of those 'get a random guest manga artist to make a character' things like in SC4?"
Considering that burst attack he did near the middle of the trailer, I think they are channeling a bit of Abyss in his design as well
All the old characters are going back to the classics since this a soft reboot probably through the whole series. That said I wonder if the other outfits from the series will be unlocks or dlc.
Maybe they'll include alternative outfits for the characters. They've added them since Soul Edge/Soul Blade.
I had a random idea that Viola is a time traveling Amy sent back in time to prevent Raphael from getting the Soul Edge since his using it in a more subtle way via creating proxy conflicts (rather than Seig's plan of "travel around the countryside and break stuff") is horrifically more effective.
I've definitely had multiple discussions with people talking about how with how vague and evasive they were with viola's story there's actually a pretty fair chance of her showing up in this game...
