Soul Calibur 6 Discussion

[S0Mi]

GC: I know you can’t talk about other characters in the game, but the design and attire of a character like Ivy – whether she’s in the new one or not – are a lot more problematic today than they were when the series began. Is that something you intend to address?

MO: [long pause] I understand that there are different opinions about such characters. So I think what’s most important is how you want to express and design such characters, and not just the female characters. But I still want to keep the body shape and the atmosphere of each character to be the backbone of each character.

From the Last post :D

Also an articel with talk about the intro xD

Also, according to that interview. The game has been in development for over three years now.

That's much longer than I expected to hear. Then again, we know the game has had a troubled development, so it might not have been a very productive 3 years.

It doesn't look like placeholder to me.

I meant in shape.
Design itself is most probably final, but amount of slots may be not.

But I still want to keep the body shape and the atmosphere of each character to be the backbone of each character.

YES!

I'm totally fine with 20 characters at launch, if there will be more characters as DLC post launch, and the character choice roster will be good. This mean that each character will be well made and super unique and polished.

PS: Quality over quantity.
PS2: f*ck Clones.
PS3: Mimics are OK if there's only one, not more.

It doesn't look like placeholder to me. It matches the style of the health bars ingame and the style of the character illustrations.

I'm starting to wonder if it's a case of the game having a small budget. It would explain why they're cutting corners by re-using models from SC4/5. If the game releases with such a small roster, I think they'll be shooting themselves in the foot. They already saw how fans reacted to many characters missing from SC5.

It's real easy to move some circles around. There's a lot of empty space.

 

[SSfox]

You guys think all SC1 characters will make it? Personally i think not all, but instead all will appear in some kind in the story mode, and then (maybe) they'll come later as DLC, just like in MKX

Some personal Roster speculations here:

Characters that i think may not make it at launch:

Inferno (this one won't make it for sure IMO even as DLC lmao)
Hwang, Rock, Mina, Lizardman, Edgemaster: Those are the characters i think they may not be in the game, since the launch at least.

Also Sieg or Night, maybe they'll fuse the 2 characters in 1 like in SC2, and if so, he (night/sieg) will definitely be in the game since launch
... or maybe not, and if so one of them would be as DLC while the other will be in the game since launch.

All the other characters should be at launch imo, and in the case one of them won't be in since launch, they'll probably be in the game later as DLC since they're all too inconic, popular and important.

 

[MonsieurCalibur]

To me it's very difficult to speculate since we all know some characters from 2,3, 4 and 5 may appear (some have leaked) and there will be new characters as well.

 

[S0Mi]

Here's what it apparently looks like.

At first - we have 5 confirmed Chars:
Mitsu, Sophi, Kilik Rival, Rival Related(or kilik?), 1 guest minimum and we can assume that Kilik will be in 99,999999999% - So 14 slots left (for the beginning)

"Leaked Chars"

1. Xianghua
2. Nightmare
3. Siegfried
4. Talim
5. Tira
6. Zasalamel
7. Taki
8. Cervantes

6 Slots left:
I think Ivy will be in, Voldo, Yoshi... who else?

 

[Nyte]

Having Mina cut would be pretty stupid, she's an OG Soulcalibur girl alongside Sophitia and Taki, and deserves respect.

Who said she'll be cut? >> Post launch DLC.

It's not about disrespect or something, the developers will have to make choices, and it's a new game, so there will also need to add new characters into the game, also there is the slot that will be used for the guest character because a lot of people like this (me personally as i said Guest Characters = Don't care much)

Ok reversal edge has me really worried. I looks like it could end up really slowing down the pace of the matches. And it looks way to easy to do.

You can just step around it though...

I think, it is a pretty interessting mechanic, it is a heavy movement, easy to read and punish - but could be used as a Guard Impact, a mechanic that stops the enemies momentum.
I don't like it for now, but to make my mind about it i need to play it myself.

 

[SSfox]

Damn the game looks beautiful AF

I still want her in the base game though, especially since there's a story mode I want to see her in it.

Holy shit! What is it? Blazblue?

 

[minimaxi]

if you google "unreal engine 4 on switch" you'll know that they have officially supported switch earlier this year.

And, oh, I'm fine with 20 characters, really. Even without Lord Maxi (he's surprisingly low on character poll :| ). I will be pretty bummed, sure, but my love for SC transcends character preference.

 

[Nyte]

Maxi is guaranteed considering his importance to SCI's story.
