Why the hell did they keep Casandra in if they wanted more interesting characters? As long as Raphael is in it, I guess I'll buy it.
Where do you see Cassandra?
2-player I thought. Isn't that her shield? She looks kinda different but I thought it was her.
thats Pyrrha, Sophitia's stolen daughter. She's the soul edge equivalent to the soul calibur Patroklos. This game takes place 17 years later, that cant be cassandra cause she doesnt look older (and I know, Ivy hasnt aged at all, and Tira looks.... something the same, but not everyone is getting the free pass on aging).
Also, in most recent games, Cassandra went a colour shift.
Going in progression of release since Cassandra entered:
<spoiler=Soul Calibur 2 she had a blue shield>http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080517212620/soulcalibur/images/0/05/Sc2-cassandra.jpg
<spoiler=Soul Calibur 3 she went a colour change and got pink>http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080206034547/soulcalibur/images/2/28/Cass-soul3art.jpg
<spoiler=Soul Calibur 4 it stayed pink>http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090616231056/soulcalibur/images/f/fe/Cassandra-alexandra-in-soul-calibur-4-jpg.jpg
<spoiler=Soul Calibur Broken Destiny continued the pink trend>http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091010003412/soulcalibur/images/6/6f/Scbd_pcwp_cassandra_1024x768.jpg
Sophitia has always used the blue shield since her first appreance in Soul Edge, which the pink shield being her 2 player. Cassandra got the pink shield mostly for a distinguishing factor between her and her sister Sophitia when both of them used a blue shield as their 1 player costume in SC 2.
And actually, if you look at cassandras shield, you can tell its not.
<spoiler=Seen here in SC2 pic, cause its the easiest to see>http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080517212620/soulcalibur/images/0/05/Sc2-cassandra.jpg
That symbol on her shield is a reference to Greek Nemea, and is called the Nemea shield on her <url=http://soulcalibur.wikia.com/wiki/Cassandra>wiki page.
Looking closer at the shield, Soul Cal fans will recognize that as the <url=http://soulcalibur.wikia.com/wiki/Sophitia>Elk Shield.
<spoiler=Famously wielded by Sophitia, as seen here in a SC 4 screen shot against cassandra>http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090911204544/soulcalibur/images/c/c2/T_soulcalibur4_tgs07_englishdub_0002.jpg
There interesting thing is that <url=http://soulcalibur.wikia.com/wiki/Pyrrha>Pyrrha is listed as using the Elk Shield and Omega Sword, which SC fans will again recognize as Sophitia's go to sword and shield combo. Which raises the question as to whether or not Sophitia's going to make the game (as some had speculated) and what will happen, since it was speculated that her contamination by Soul Edge history would be fleshed out and she would be something like a Nightmare figure. Cassandra has long since been ruled out as appearing.
...
So TL;DR, no, thats not Cassandra, simply cant be cause the people at the team have already said they werent going to bring her in.
