We knew that in addition to Siegfried and Ivy, Soul Calibur Legends would feature other playable characters from the series. Everyone's favorite underdressed ninja, Taki, is joining the roster, to help the other two battle wave after wave of wimpy-looking mummies and three-foot-tall ninjas. Astaroth is also visible, though it's not clear if he's a player character or an enemy.
Of course, now that we think about it, putting a female assassin in the game hews even closer to Death By Degrees territory. Well, Soul Calibur was always better than Tekken, so maybe the spinoff action games will follow the same pattern!

Exxxxxcellent!
I love Soul Calibur and I'm very curious about this upcoming offshoot. Is it looking to be like Samurai Warriors 2 et al? I'll have to go do some googling.
Thanks for the update JC!

If Link is in there, it's an instant buy.

Looks like the SC III costumes are being used. It's shame since I never liked that mask on Taki and her alternate costume in SC II made her look more like ninja.
Also, ninjas are spies first, warriors second so we aren't that much closer to Death by Degrees. Besides, Taki's been in the series since Soul Edge; she's not going away that easily.
