Soul Calibur 5 - New Character Creation Mode Gameplay!

Ease of use, Reach, Power, Speed and Attack Rate are going to be an expansion of the dev team's initial vision of each character's niche. Attack rate being the most ambiguous (like the "moves" rating in SC4BD) which translated to attack pressure (generally good on characters with stances)
 
They showed arabian pants. Wonder if they are going to put an Arab character with yun style maybe.(just wishful thinking)I don't care if yun is not in but at least bring his style back so I can have a main :(
 
Why don't they demostrate it to us??? They cant demostrate to save there lives!!!!! But I LOVE it still!!!!

I could understand the first one(because it's a teaser, the stream made no sense.(If your gonna make a character creation stream, STICK TO THE DAMN TOPIC), this vid,now time it gets frustrating. I appreciate what they're doing for us, but make a better video. I think there is a reason why the dont show ALL the equipment.
 
Okay, seeing the videos, I have just a few things to say about SCV's character creation. Imo, this may be the best one Project Soul has ever conceived. I really like the fact that you can choose whatever pattern/paint/sticker you want for your equipment, as well as changing their colors. You may not recognize this, but this option reduces the "3+ types of the same item" we've seen in SCIV to just 1 item and adds room for more options and newer equipment. The options for face paint is still there, but they moved it to the "Color/Pattern" tab. Stats are effected by character style, and not so much by height (so hitboxes might not be as problematic as some folks thought), and definitely not from equipment. I don't care if styles are based from other characters; it's probably better that way.

But there are a few things that bother me... I don't like the fact the announcer calls the character the same name as the character they're based on. If I make a female character who uses Mitsurugi's style, I wouldn't want her to be directly named "Mitsurugi," especially if I named her myself. I'm also worried that they may end up recycling too much of what was on SCIV. My dream Character Creation has been containing content from SCIII to SC:BD and then a shit load of new stuff, but I'm not too sure about that idea anymore. I'd like to see more new content than older ones. There are definitely new faces here, but a lot of the old ones from SCIV were included. The faces are basically preset, except you can change eyebrows and eye colors. I kind of expected this since the game seemed started from SCIV.


All Character Creation videos seem to refrain from showing us a lot of this feature's capabilities (it seems that they try to refrain from scrolling down past 4 boxes). It's probably to keep us guessing on exactly how much content is going to be there until the game is released. I might've done the same if I helped made this game.

Overall, I'm excited and I look forward to using this tool when the game releases. Shame we're going to be seeing players make shitty knockoffs with it...
 
At least there's some new faces, so we can't really complain. I would honestly like more variety of facial hair though like that one goatee Raphael had. It's also disappointing that they did not show the two new layers(armor and waist.) At least Face 4 looks viable enough along with changing eyebrows to an extent. The monster faces in Broken Destiny were missing, but maybe they're heads and come with their own voices? Also, if you can change the whites of the eyes, you should also be able to change the pupils.

They had similar Arab parts in SCIV and SC:BD with the same theme.
