Another set of tweets talk about controls, specifically easing the stress of players who prefer using a gamepad to play rather than a joystick. Odashima is a self-professed pad player, since "we [the team] plan on reducing commands like A+K so moves are easier to pull off on pad."

Odashima has typically played it coy since December, not really giving away too much on what he's working on, but a May announcement suggests the game is moving along nicely, and that would also be right before E3 in June, which leads us to suspect that this new Soul Calibur title will be at the expo -- preferably playable, of course.
