Lost Swords

It just came across my mind, not sure if it has been mentioned yet but;

These FTP games are a teaser of what may lie in the combat of their main projects.
Tekken 7 incorporated red moves from Tekken Revolution into their game system, somewhat tweaking the properties a bit on them to make them not as overpowered. If this is the same fate for Soulcalibur VI.. what would it take from Lost Swords?

The element system? Soul bursting?



Tekken 7 was announced not only on it's 20th anniversary but practically a whole year after from Revolution. An announcement next year seems likely.



Amy better be free.. I have 2 S-Rank weapons that i'm just staring at. Crying that I got weapons for my SCIV main but not a key to use them.

Best case scenario: Multiple CE that you can pick at the beginning of the match. Maybe even a chronicle mode that's just like LS (in that you use equipment and weapon elements)
Worst case scenario: the extremely long strings, but I doubt they'd do that.
 
I actually don't mind the longer strings especially the AA/BB ones. Obviously it cant lead to launchers like it does in LS, but making them 3 hit with solid damage is not a bad idea. The thing I dislike the most about SC5 is the amount of new BS stuff. With ex-moves and the alike, the difference between tiers are even worse than before. In sc4, except hilde BS you could reliable win with just aa/bb/throw. Yes some character's tool are much better than others, but the basics tools still hold much value, SC5 ... eh not so much. We all know a perfect balance is impossible, even "good" balance is probably off the table, so at the very least if Namco make everyone's aa/bb/throw decent than even the "bad" character can still very much compete.

I actually like the trimmed down moveset as well. There are hardly any point having so many moves if the vast majority are trash and at best used for combo fillers. Its much more efficient to use a smaller and actually useful moveset, both from a new player perspective and a dev perspective. You should never have those moves where within 1 hour of training mode, you go "why the hell would I ever use this", especially those moves that end in duckable highs.

Last but not the least, I'm actually quite happy with how certain stance are changed in LS. Like Taki PO can be canceled into stalker, Ralph can do plain back dash in prep without being forced to attack or re-prep. We need way more "neutral" or fake out stance options, so going into stance isn't a free CH or launcher for your opponent.

I was wondering, do you guys think all of the veterans in Lost Swords are guaranteed to return in SCVI? I think they are, hopefully.

Yeah, could be.

I hope so, all these characters have more chances of being there, a canon SC with the three sexy Alexandra girl is just paradise.

That'd be hilarious. I'm actually just skimming through it now to see if there are any comments like that (Lol). Most of them are like, quote;

"Boobs, sexy costumes and fight... are we talking about SC or DOA?"
"What happened to Soul Calibur?"
"People play Lost Swords??"
"Because if you want to be taken seriously in a fight, you want to have bats on your nipples."

Well,my HP is around 950,a bit of crafting on the rank s items,should get it to around 1200,i do have mitsurugi's rank a+ weapon,still not maxed yet tho.And all i do is 2b,b,b> 66bb whenever i get a chance ;)

Yea craft your armour a bit, but the most important thing here is to have plenty of potions to get the good prizes. Those guys are playing all the time! Top ranks are over 1 million shards and still playing! (To be precise 100th: 622 000 shards, 1st : 3 million shards)

I wanna place in 500-250 for that Siegfried weapon and so far Ive used more than 25 potions and Im afraid Ill use some more. Luckily before that event I had saved up 95 potions, so I think I wont have a problem, unless I lose 150 places overnight (I lost 100 places in 10 hours on Monday) and have bad connection.

I really wonder why those top ranks are trying to get to top 100. Ok, it could be for their ego, or even collecting those stuff, but honestly since most of them are paying users the stuff they'll get will be weaker than the ones they 'bought', plus not many use Mitsu and those who bought Mina must have already got her a S rank weapon
 
are you using a free set? if you are, tell me how you manage to beat extreme to stay in the top spots. I have sophitia's thunderbolt, and even I can't do jack shit on extreme. I get timed out every time I see the kittymeow...

I really doubt any one could stay in the top 200 without being able to bet x3 on extreme.

and Yun, Rock, Sieg, Nightmare, Maxi, Raph, Asta, Cervy, Kilik, Mina, shall I go on? You tried to AA,BB, throw you would die horribly. Granted some of those characters had other things they could win with but overall most of them were terrible and I didn't even put in the terrible characters who had a decent/normal AA_BB
Click to expand...

Eh...I meant characters who don't have "real" tools to fall back on aa/bb/throw? If you are kilik you be asura or wr B up your ass, you obviously don't need aa/bb/throw. Many of those characters rely aa/bb like moves, it does not mean you literally trying to bb as nightmare or sieg.

The point which you all seem to be missing is to ask namco to raise the bar for basic moves. Give EVERYBODY a working aa/bb/throw similar to the greeks in power or slighting better (LS 3 hitter), so when namco completely miss the ball on certain characters, you can still just rely on aa/bb/throw plus whatever you can salvage from your character moveset. It is the easiest way to gap close the tiers without putting much effort. Obviously it will make everybody "play the same", but I rather have that then some character who don't even have a safe mid that lead to 40+ damage, or no move that track steps.

No, I dont play on extreme, just very hard for me... I hope i didnt write extreme anywhere, then its my mistake. I tried extreme and I get timed out at the 3rd or 4th battle.

So yea i do very hard and Im not aiming top 200 or 100, i just wanna be top 500-250, otherwise Id have to use 20+ potions and waste a day.

And yes, Im using a free set. If I remember correct,
I have that pilot helmet +5 lvl 44,
that monk dress thing lvl 42,
swimming pants maxed,
silver gauntlets,
cuff boots and
magus breastplate i think?
The helmet, the monk thing and the pants are S stuff I got for free and the rest are A stuff from quests. Also I use Faust as a weapon, it's A rank, but I like it much more than the A+ sword he has (faust has guard break weapon art which I find much more useful). Im losing 55 more damage points, but it doesnt matter, Im already OP and I can break guard :P
Last but not least, Im rank 71 (170 AP max I got ranked up 6 times thanks to this event) and my Siegfried is level 56. That's why im confident in battles

I was also wondering why the top rankers try to stay at the top,i mean they obviously buy premium treasure chests which must give them equipment better than the ones that are given as prizes for the ranking event.The only explanations are,as you said,their ego,or that they have nothing else to do as they've probably beaten all the quests already.I do use mitsu tho,unfortunately theres no way i'm getting to even top 2000

My stats were crap at the time the ace combat event was running,not that its not crap now,I got the iron gauntlets,cuff boots,short slops and magus breastplate from the fp chests.And the monk dress of mine is just level 7,the rank a soul stones from angels depot are useless in crafting for rank s items.So I just used the rank s items we get for unlocking characters to craft it.Hopefully i'll be able to beat the hard difficulty hero's quests when they come around.
 
so where do you place now? I assume people spamming extreme x3 will be flushing the leader board tomorrow. I lost over 70 potions in the last event and I couldn't even get Amy's rapier.

this time I simply have no interest in playing the event. I am now outside of 3200 places and I don't even feel like playing after I got seungmina's A+ weapon that I will never get a chance to use. the robin hood set looks like shit, and siegfried isn't as effective as the fast spammers anyway. even if I have enough potions I don't feel like using a character that can't block and punish -13 moves consistently. the seungmina scam reduced my interest way in this game more than I expected.
 
How many character's Rank A+ weapons do we get from the event?
I know sophitia's and mitsurugi's drop at 12000 and 24500 respectively,who else's weapons drop,and at what boundaries?

That aside i had a few questions
1)We can break throws by pressing A or B,depending on the throw,does that mean that pressing A+B will break all throws?

2)The xp we get from the silver drake quest depends on the size of the silver drakes we face.Like if we face 4 small drakes then the final Large one,we get 15k exp.For every medium drake we face instead of a small drake the said xp value increases by 1.5k,and for every large drake,it increases by 7.5k.
So what is the factor that controls which drakes you'll be facing in the quest,is it your rank,character's level,ap remaining,time left for the quest to expire or just luck?

3)Astaroth and Ivy were given away during the 1 mil. downloads quest,is it possible that because of that,their character unlock quests now have a lower % chance of giving the unlock key?

4)How can we escape the stuns caused by some attacks?

5)[this one is about the site]Is there a limit to how many times we can edit a post?

Im not doing the event so im not really sure if you get any other A+ weapons, but..

1. Pressing A+B will only break A throws.

2. The difficulty plays a part in what drakes you encounter. To me, it feels like the chances of getting a king or anything that is not a small increases.

3. That'd be pretty unfair if they did so, I'd say that their chances have went back to normal. Can't 100% say this because I've already unlocked them.

EDIT: Read what thinkingofaname said for number 4 which is underneath.

5. No.

4. LS does have shakable stuns, just not many. Taki 3A and Pyra final hit of BBB are shakable, but the +frame even if you shake is pretty high so chances are you can get comboed, but more restricted to faster follow ups.
