My thoughts on Sophie and Taki is fuck those moo cows but even after seeing they had replacements and us Yun and Zasalmel fans where left like "Yo PS WTF Dude!" the Taki/Sophie fans still went on and on for what seemed like an eternity about how unique this and how they have been in the game since its inception.

Even offline when I tried to get more people to purchase the game. I actually had to stop trying otherwise I would have flipped the fuck out on somebody in the store. I can only take so many "Who cares about Yun" responses when I start talking about how they have Phyrra and Ta...Natsu present in the game to fall back on.

Cassandra will forever be missed but Pattycakes feels the void nicely. He is literally a boobless Cassandra with no butt attacks lol.

The point of CaS is making a character to fight with so you're not stuck looking at the same costumes day in and day out. There doesn't have to be any ulterior motive for the mode.

Ill admit it does bother me when Taki/Sophie fans bitch because they did at least get very similar replacements. I miss my wind priestess. :sc2tal1: And I just don't like Patroklos. His moves don't remind me of Cassandra's at all and he's way too douche-baggy. Cassandra had an ego but he's just annoying to me.
 
Are you guys fucking insane? If character creation was tooken out I'd be left with 2 characters again, Astaroth & Tira only. We definately need character creation, w/o it the game may lose popularity, sure as hell gonna lose me maybe. If it didn't I'm not gonna last long.

Same thing happens except their is no traditional Soulcalibur play involved.

Famous General taunts and throws out a challenge "You are not worthy to face me". You reply to the challenge with your general "Your not even fit to share the same battlefield with me" then your magically teleported to an arena where it's just you and him. In a later installment both your allies and enemies form a circle that you can't leave and watch as you two fight but no challenge is ever issued.


CaS...It has become synonymous with Soulcalibur. That's like removing weapons from all the characters but still making them fight over Soul Edge while still calling the game Soulcalibur. If anything they should make a new IP. Stripping something that is gonna effect every fan would be extremely detrimental to the series.

It's like y'all missed the gigantic shitstorm from casual players/buyers when Taki/Sophitia/Cassandra didn't show up on the character select screen. I wish I was gifted with short term memory just because of all that crying.

What do you wanna see in the future of SC6? I don't think I've read anything about what you wanted to do.

My guess: Arcade, individual story, online... <~~~ pretty boring if your gonna say that, cause SCV basicly already has that. (Besides Individual Story) (Don't get me wrong, we must have online aswell, keep that)
 
what i can't figure is how you're gonna take popular characters out of the game but leave their styles in. what's the point of taking taki out if you're just going to give her style to a "new" character? i want new characters with new styles not new characters with old styles. Not that i want the old characters or their styles to leave, i'm just boggled by the decision to replace popular characters with new characters.

COTS has a far better storymode then the actual main series considering it was actually relevant, though I just didnt like the RTS style. House burning took WAY too long and characters ran to slow. Either an RPG redo or a fast-forward button like sims for that.

Yeah, that was kind of annoying. Trust me, I know how you feel about how the taking down fortresses took forever. And especially running to certain places. That's why I think it would be better and more visually fun if they ditched the RTS style and went for the 3rd person camera route where you control the character. But then I think it might be hard since they'd have to figure out how they can implement you to control all 6 characters.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

SC3 probably had the perfect gameplay in the whole SC series, in my opinion. I truly do hope they make another Chronicle of The Sword in SC6 again. Holy shit, how much would I play? I played the COTS in SC3 about 10 times through the whole story mode, my god that shit was fun.

Another thing I hope to see if they actually do make COTS in SC6, is Ambelia & Luna again. Remember when they had special abilities to become unstunnable, damn those enemies were badasses & tough. I can't remember all the abilities very well because most of them wasn't annoying as the unstunnable perk. Where the enemy glows red aura in COTS.

What I also remember very well was one of their greatest modes in all of the SC series. I believe it was some sort of challenge mode where you had to fight Night Terror or Giant Collosus. EPIC!!! Damn I hope they make an SC6 with COTS & a better character creation system. (Idk wtf "CaS" is???) I truly hope they do my ideas alot.

I have to agree. I mean, sure Soul Calibur 3 had it's gltiches and probably wasn't very good to the hardcore players but if you got passed all the brokeness, it really was a decent game. I was hooked on that game for pretty much all of 2005 to mid 2006. That is insane to me haha. They had modes a plenty that gave good replay value.

And ah yes, I remember the COTS gruesome 5some (Luna's gang). I have to say, they may have been annoying to fight but they were pretty challenging. My favorite was the red head with the lance. I forgot what she did but all I know was that she was my favorite from her gang. Yeah, I bet if they brought them back, they'd look great in the new graphics. Hopefully they can design better outfits for them haha.

And yeah, to answer your question about Night Terror & Colossus. Those were the mission modes. Those were very fun to do too in my opinion.

Yeah. I'll admit it. I was disappointed when Taki and Sophitia weren't coming back but after I bought the game and tried out Natsu. I actually think she is okay and she does fight totally similar to Taki so I was able to let go of Taki. The thing with Pyrrha and Sophitia is pretty much how they attack. I didn't like how Pyrrha's moves looked to timid/novice. I mean, I get it's for story purposes but when you give her moveset to CAS character, it looks horrid. And I know, "why not use Omega Pyrrha" but I really hate her win poses... So yeah, that's pretty much the reason why I wish they at least kept Sophitia's style for CAS. But I'm hoping in SC6, Pyrrha's moveset will start looking maturer.

With Cassandra/Patroklos. I too don't think Pat is a replacement for Cass in terms of moveset. Cass' style felt more fast and agile. Pat's is slower. But I do enjoy using his style lol.

Sorry to hear that, I never encountered one glitch or brokeness. I heard some people got caught by data corruption & I got scared so I saved my files on 2 memory cards to be safe. Although, I never got the chance to get data corrupted once.

I hear rumors say data corruption still exists in SCV. Once I heard that I used any device to save my data on. I'm using 2 psp's as memory cards on the slim xbox to have data transfered & copied so if I ever do get data corrupted in SCV, I have my ways to counter attack back at it. LOL!

Hopefully this data corruption will not exist in SC6
 
I never said Pat was a replacement for Cassandra's style.....

I just said he talks as much shit as she did which is why I like both of them.

Yun-Seong (preferably older and drunk so he could have new moves on top of his old stuff being slightly altered), Zasalamel+2 or 3 brand new characters. I couldn't care-less about cheesy ass arcade endings or story mode tbh. Even when I was younger all that shit was boring to me after two days and held replay value only because my cousin didn't live next door to me and both my brothers sucked horribly.

Sounds to me like you don't have interest in SC at all but one character. Although I know what you really want maybe; just to fight with Yung Seong online pretty much.

Unlike me I care too much about both online & offline & waaaaay too many other aspects of the game.

Why?
Let's just say you have to quallify to be a pisces to understand.
 
If I didn't have interest in SC I would have been one of the people endlessly regurgitating the same nonsense some others have been doing for months and constantly bad-mouthing the game.

Instead I spent my time learning my new secondaries+the ends and outs of the game. You know moving on.

FYI the only characters I liked that made it into SCV is Maxi, Seigfried, Voldo and Mitsurugi. Three of those characters where ruined for me in SCV so I picked new ones. It's really that simple for me. I don't get attached like these are some real people or something.

Fighting games aren't about a ton of content IMO. It's about the fighting and that part is very enjoyable.

Hell every other fighting game I can think of besides MK looks the same as SCV so idk what's the big deal.

And thats just it for me, SC has always had a ton of content. I expect threadbare from other fighters, but PS set a standard with their content in the past. There seems to be less and stuff to do every game too. SC3 was packed full of shit to do, SC4 had much less, and then SC5 had online and CaS. It was really disappointing.
