We’ve been getting bi-weekly updates from Namco over the last few months on SCIV, and they might just continue all the way to launch day. Today’s epic reveal features the confirmation of SC staples Talim and Yoshimitsu, as well as Rock, the lovable barbarian cloaked in animal hide.

Rock was featured in the first Soul Calibur game, but vanished from the series for the last few installments, and reappeared as an unlockable Astaroth-Clone in SCIII. He didn’t have the interesting grapple-attack depth that A-town possessed, but his voice acting was phenomenal. “BANGOOOOO!”

The fact that Yoshimitsu’s back means that come July 29th we’ll all find someone to hate for overusing the dreaded sword-hop. How the hell does he do that!?
