Xiba |
Xiba is the spiritual successor to Kilik, the rod-wielding martial arts master of SoulCalibur. While not being related to Kilik, Xiba fights with the same martial rod skills.
The only thing faster than Xiba on the battlefield seems to be his metabolism. Xiba is constantly reminding his enemies of how hungry he is. What is he hungry for exactly? Victory? Vengeance? Power?
Well, he keeps talking about steam buns, which raises the question: is his hunger for food or lust? Thus, is the power of the Soul Edge.

Leixia |
Leixia is the daughter of Xianghua, which is easily recognized by her fighting style. After hyping Leixia up with stories of her adventures and promises of adventuring together, Xianghua quickly stomped on Leixia's aspirations of exploring the world together with a quick, "lol no."
This was after Leixia showed her mother a mysterious blue pendant, which she believes has something to do with her mother's sudden change of heart. I, on the other hand, just think Xianghua was trolling her, big time.
Unrelated question: Did Chun-Li ever have any children and put them up for adoption? Why do I ask? No reason.

Ezio |
The Animus is definitely a 9.0 on my weird shit-o-meter, so it's no surprise that Desmond's constant messing around with it would eventually cause his memories of Ezio to bleed into his copy of SoulCalibur V. Seeing as how Desmond and his team have all that snazzy equipment, they definitely got their hands on a Templar shipment of SoulCalibur V copies.
Playing video games too close to the Animus is sort of like sitting too close to the TV. Sooner or later, your DNA and memories are going to bleed into the signals of the television and become one augmented reality.
What? That never happened to anyone else?
