New screens prove Lizardman, Kilik, and Xianghua are still throwing down

With all the hubbub about characters like Darth Vader, Legend of Zelda's Link, and the undeadcomic hero Spawn showing up in Soulcalibur games, it's easy to forget that there are plenty of stellarweapon-slinging brawlerswho are actually native to this 3D face-basher. Unless, of course, publisher Namcohas sent us first-look screens of that confirm three more characters from previous games are going to show up in the eagerly awaited Soulcalibur IV.

Feast yourretinas on these15 new pics, which show off Lizardman's scaly skin, Xianghua's short shorts, and Kilik's long and strong staff.

I was the founding Executive Editor/Editor in Chief here at GR, charged with making sure we published great stories every day without burning down the building or getting sued. Which isn't nearly as easy as you might imagine. I don't work for GR any longer, but I still come here - why wouldn't I? It's awesome. I'm a fairly average person who has nursed an above average love of video games since I first played Pong just over 30 years ago. I entered the games journalism world as a freelancer and have since been on staff at the magazines Next Generation and PSM before coming over to GamesRadar. Outside of gaming, I also love music (especially classic metal and hard rock), my lovely wife, my pet pig Bacon, Japanese monster movies, and my dented, now dearly departed '89 Ranger pickup truck. I pray sincerely. I cheer for the Bears, Bulls, and White Sox. And behind Tyler Nagata, I am probably the GR staffer least likely to get arrested... again.
