Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

[FluffyQuack]

Okay, I think it's time for me to come clean about something.

You know the datamine back in December showing Amy and Cassandra? The one which looked like this:

+ProfileIconInitials=(Character=ELC_CASSANDRA,Initial=NSLOCTEXT("[/Script/LuxorEditor]", "4330548E48FC4A63C10025B7A2DB05E1", "DLC2"))
+ProfileIconInitials=(Character=ELC_AMY,Initial=NSLOCTEXT("[/Script/LuxorEditor]", "E0D41BB848CDE634D4DF518D8E5EB090", "DLC3"))

... it was fake. I thought someone would eventually fact-check my datamine by looking up the files themselves, but no one ever did.

The actual data in the game files is this:

+ProfileIconInitials=(Character=ELC_DAMPIERRE,Initial=NSLOCTEXT("[/Script/LuxorEditor]", "4330548E48FC4A63C10025B7A2DB05E1", "DLC2"))
+ProfileIconInitials=(Character=ELC_AMY,Initial=NSLOCTEXT("[/Script/LuxorEditor]", "E0D41BB848CDE634D4DF518D8E5EB090", "DLC3"))

Sorry, guys.

Ah, just kidding, it's totally Cassandra.

oofmatic...

I wouldn't mind seeing Dampierre back, he's unique and a large portion of his design is already there cutting down on cost and development time.

 

[LisaK]

In SC VIII maybe, but in that game I say NO for or

@LisaK

No silly SC7 is for the official return of Shura with her own unique moveset.

 

[LisaK]

From all minor characters I think Gisele have more chances to become a real character, the rest end up as npc..

Shura is iconic and have a great potential in terms of gameplay, but she probably becomes a Setsuka for Taki...

As much as i've never liked Dampierre and i won't miss him one bit if he'll never come back, but now thinking about it i like him even more than Groh and Azwell which is pretty scary thinking about it lol, those 3 and Algol + Necrid would be my 5 least favorites in the entire SC series i feel. (clones like Omega Alpha and Charade aren't included)

Also i would really like Lizardman now thinking about it, too many humans in this game, we need an Animal to make the roster more diverse. (even if technically he isn't much but who cares lol)

Gisele

Yeah I think she would be good.

I though it was Hilde at first, until i notice she wasn't hanging a Spear

 

[LisaK]

I wouldn't say I don't like Algol, Dampierre or Necrid, I just don't think they are needed right now. Algol is the antagonist of SC IV so he will be there again, same goes for Dampierre who profited from the destruction of Wolfkrone and sold Pyrrha in the slave market.

I prefer her first design, is little generic, but she doesn't looks like old Amy..

Yeah i don't think i hate them as well, i wouldn't mind if they came back, just that there are a lot of others i would like (way) more.

Spoiler

Specially OF COURSE:

It's hard to know how she would translate ingame, but yeah that design is pretty cool, as soon as she won't look too anime in her 3D model ingame there maybe some potential, and also she doesn't look like a Hilde clone here which is a good thing of course.

 

[I_Love_Aogami]

If my memory serves right Gisele looks more like Hilde because Dampierre is smitten with Hilde and Gisele has the hots for him so...

...yeah, she wants the D.

Dickerre, I—

 

[DanteSC3]

That’s one of my serious wishes for SoulCalibur VII though, not only getting Dampierre back, but his crew also. And the return of 2ps means we can have both designs.

 

[KALAFINA]

I’d rather Ashlotte returned with an independent movelist than Shura . . .

 

[DanteSC3]

But seriously:

 

[Rusted Blade]

But seriously:

Definitely the best of the SCIV bonus designs. And honestly, a much better candidate for an original moveset than Shura, imo. :)
