Odashima tweeted the above teasers today, saying that the pair would be unveiled at the con. “Show anymore & I’m in trouble,” the Project SOUL designer said, leaving us to speculate about the identity of the pair. One looks like he could be the rapier-wielding Raphael, who first appeared in Soulcalibur II. The other looks a bit like Talim, the pint-sized fighter who also made her first appearance in Soulcalibur II.
The pair may be new characters, what with Soulcalibur V set some 17 years after the previous entry.
Kotaku will be at Comic-Con 2011 in full force (read: Owen Good and myself) from July 20 to 24, so keep an eye peeled for reveals just like this one.

The one on the left could be Raphael, but to my mind his stance has more of a Cervantes feel.
