When it comes to gameplay, I think of specific things. 8-way run. Heavy, singular strikes that eat 1/4 of a life bar. Parries/Repels in SC4. Variable guard pushback in SC2. Expansive movelists. Li Long & Soul Charge in SC3. I guess I'd say mechanics that allow for "freedom of options" are the...

I suppose I should start first. Weapon Exhibition. While admittedly just a fancy attract mode cutscene to attract people to arcade machines, I can't help but think that these short videos were instrumental to my enjoyment of early SoulCalibur games. The characters and their weapons are the...

This series has been going strong for over 20 years and has taken many forms in that time. While we can all acknowledge what we like about SoulCalibur could be different from other people, I think it's valuable to discuss in detail what these things are an why they resonate with us in order to...

I don't see how that's unlikely. It takes a lot of time to model a new outfit, and the assets for Sophitia were already in SC4 (and SC5 if you count Elysium). Not to mention that Lost Sword's nature as a GaaS game means that additional content needs to be constant or else there's no reason to...

As happy as I am to see my boy return after 15 fuckin' years, I really don't like his new gimmicks. I understand that he needs a huge upgrade so he can be on par with all the other characters and the shiny anime fantasy magic bullshit the series has been careening toward since SC4, but I really...

I want to say I was 7/8 at the time. I didn't have any arcades or computers when I was a kid, so all of my gaming was done on consoles, and I was always enamored with fighting games. On my old SNES, I sunk countless hours into MK1, MK2, MK3, SF2 Turbo, and even begged my cousin to borrow Killer...

I want Edge Master with a unique moveset with the longsword he's always depicted with. It's so aggravating that he has this super cool sword that he never uses or is even modeled in-game.

Since Talim is my main in SC6, this means I need to make sure she has many outfits to wear. One of the outfits I had in mind for Talim split into multiple versions. The original idea was an exercise to base an outfit on items and patterns I don't use too often, which leads us to these. Short...

My own interpretation of a 2P outfit for Maxi, since he doesn't have one in SCVI. This was originally going to be an older take on Maxi. It was to make him look like a wandering monk looking for inner peace, much like how Kilik is. It's a concept I still want to revisit, so this design is...

Possibly redundant at this point, but I made a SE Hwang cosplay for Mi-na. It was the first thing I did when I bought the game at launch. I'm still surprised that the Slops and Seong Boots worked together as well as they did, as I remember having a hard time getting slops to work with...

Talim's pretty fun to make outfits for. I've never been so happy to have this annoying little munchkin in a game before. As of right now, the only outfit I'm comfortable with showing off is this: a simple outfit for Talim that I designed to be a bit more martial arts focused, while still...

Hilde's married and has two kids.

Now that I think about it, it makes some sense for Viola to be labeled "evil." If you'll excuse my fanfiction: I believe Viola was supposed to have a fateful encounter with Nightmare, who we know is using Raphael's body as its host (under the alias of Graf Dumas). The two fight, Nightmare's...

I'll miss all the shitposting, honestly. It's not like there's anything to talk about in-between whatever niggets @Vergeben tells us since Namco-Bandai is taking their sweet time drip-feeding info.

Considering that SCVI is seems to be a reboot of SCI, I don't think any of the new characters could reasonably show up as playable characters (unless Patroklos's time travel had unforeseen effects or non-canon DLC). Maybe Viola if they reveal that she's Amy, but I can't see it. I fully expect...
