Yeah, I can see Yuri using Saikou Shadow both. Calibur is next to Saikou and he has a connection to Kurayami as well. Tho, Calibur's pose in the picture leads me to believe there's a person in there. Saikou Shadow has a specific neutral pose.

Tho, just for fun, I'd like to raise that Sophia is the 2nd most likely user for Kurayami, unless they bring back Tassel and/or Kamijou would love to see Kamijou back out of all of them, even if temporarily. Sophia has connections to the two Calibur users, and she's pretty much just there a figurehead for the swordsmen and nothing else. Taking up the sword would be her honoring her two closest friends and becoming of help towards the swordsmen.

Also, a holy/pure dressed woman using a dark sword is a neat idea to me. It's only my reasoning towards a narrative purpose. Mei is Akiko II pretty much, she has no connections towards Kurayami and the Caliburs before her. Becoming Calibur would be out of left-field. Tho, Dezast did become Falchion despite having nothing towards Kyomu or Bacht, but still.

I guess in terms of ranking Calibur IV candidates to simplify it for me.

1. Kamijou = Sophia
2. Yuri
3. Tassel

I wouldn't say it's automatically feminine, since it's just a legs together pose. Does it seem that way, sure, but it could also be a more "focused" kind of stance.
