Project Soul just dumped the patch notes for 1.30, which comes out on Tuesday... although all the patch notes are in Japanese. With rudimentary Google Translate, we can give you some of the more important overall system changes. Unfortunately, the battle adjustments are images, so Google can't handle that. NAMCO-BANDAI tends to post the full patch notes in an English PDF the day of the patch, and as soon as we get it, we will embed it in this post.
Amy is now available, with her four character creation parts.
You can now edit controller settings on the character select screen.
You can now set pausing to require a "long-press" during matches.
Quick-rematch options are now available on the victory screen.
It's been a while since the last DLC character was released, but earlier today, at EVO Japan, Okubo revealed the character trailer for Amy. We don't have anymore information, such as release dates, or what character creation pieces will be included with the release. All we know is: "coming soon". We will update this post as more information is available.

When v1.10 came out, we already knew that the next patch was scheduled for January. Because of the release of 2B, they had already announced their intentions for changes. While we had basic planned changes, we didn't know character specific nerfs and/or buffs. Well as of this moment, we have those details... in Japanese.
We will update this post with the English translations when we get them. Namco-Bandai does not communicate with us at all, so if you guys find a link somewhere to the English patch notes, let us know.
In addition to today's patch notes reveal, Namco-Bandai has also confirmed that 2B, star of Square-Enix's Nier: Automata, will be released this Tuesday! Included with 2B, will be her special stage, custom character parts and music.
We've known for a few days now that a patch was coming soon for SOULCALIBUR VI that addressed some network and character creation issues with the game. However, we did not know how the upcoming patch would affect balance, or if it would affect balance at all... well now we do! Namco-Bandai has posted official patch notes, which you can find below:
Today, Namco-Bandai officially announced the first DLC character for SOULCALIBUR VI. Probably the most fan requested character I've seen on Facebook, 2B from Nier: Automata will also be included with her own stage and music. If you haven't previously played Nier: Automata, I highly recommend it. It's not the game you think it is, and really tries to subvert what you expect from video games in the first place.
Okay, so we've known for a while that Inferno was going to be in the game. We've even seen gameplay videos with him. But we never knew what to make of it. Was he a mimic character like he has been in older games? Or was Namco considering him his own character. Well with the release of their newest trailer, we now have it confirmed; Namco is considering Inferno to be his own character.
What we've seen so far shows us that Inferno uses a modified Nightmare moveset, with slightly different properties, and a permanent soul-charge. If your immediate reaction is "this seems kind of broke", you're not alone in that sentiment. In fact, I think Namco agrees with you as well, as he will not be playable in online ranked mode. As such, he may not be tournament legal either.
