I'm sorry in advance for the length of this post. I wanted to put the Japanese in this post but when I previewed it it all messed up. I've put it in a pastebin so you can see the Japanese I've attempted to translate:
pastebin.com/p9TGVVy5The first Famtsu article that had some information about Shinovi Versus and the new characters:

i.minus.com/i30Z94yzXEWbV.jpgI've attempted to translate the character information in that article:
Yumi
CV: HARA YUMI
A 3rd year at Shijuku (I don't know how it's translated, I've seen it written as Death Cram School), she's the leader,
To fight Asuka, the granddaughter of Hanzo who is Yumi's grandfather's rival, she ?opened? a school festival. (There's a bit of Japanese kanji swapping in the word "festival", check the pastebin to see it)
Murakumo
CV: KANEMOTO HISAKO
A super shy person, she covers her face with a mask.
Taciturn but without the mask she gets nervous and talks very fast.
Yozakura
CV: ISHIHARA KAORI
Doesn't have a sense of humour and has a very stiff personality.
Usually speaks politely but when emotional she unintentionally reverts to her original dialect.
Shiki
CV: YAMAMOTO AYANO
Essentially a bitch girl (?)
Although she doesn't seem very serious, she trains every day and is focused (?)
Minori
CV: IGARASHI HIROMI
As her appearance suggests she's immature, using a bucket and frying pan she treats fighting like a game (?)
Yozakura often scolds her.
The gematsu article in the first post of this thread missed out a few points from the Japanese comments on 2ch that I found.
I believe these comments are taken from a new Dengeki magazine that went on sale, I came across this picture of it:
"Touch controls are a secret. The dressing room has been perfected."
That's one thing I've not seen mentioned when this game was announced, the Vita has two touchscreens which makes for some interesting ideas when you consider this kind of game. Maybe his comments about 'licking' were meant to be taken as stroking or something.
"Regarding the last school badge, the conclusion of the previous game..."
I want to write what I think of this but the ending of Burst is a spoiler if you haven't played it (obviously) and I see no spoiler tag on this forum to hide it.
All I'll say is that the badge has the kanji for Homura's name in it which is very interesting.
Below are some comments about the new characters from the magazine (I think) I've attempted to translate.
Yumi is Kimono Breasts. It's a Japanese game so there has to be a kimono. She prides herself in her ice style attacks.
She does wear underwear. Her grandfather is Hanzou's, Asuka's grandfather, rival, it's like Asuka's destiny.
Hanzou are the good guys however they're the antagonists this time around (?)
Murakumo is Mask Breasts. She likes manga and likes drawing.
No idea what the second line is talking about. I believe it says something about the illustration of Murakumo without the mask in the bottom left of the magazine scan.
Yozakura is Punch Breast
Her weapons are massive
Shiki is Galbreasts
She looks like a gal girl but she's actually quite nice.
I'm not too sure what gal girls are, I believe they're fashionable and really, well, 'bitchy' but don't quote me on that.
Minori is Loli Large Breasts. She's got a childish personality, she's even more immature than Hibari
Here are their bust sizes as seen in that magazine:
Yumi: 92
Murakumo: 96
Yozakura: 90
Shiki: 95
Minori: 86
