That's still Kawano. He just uses a different finishing technique from time to time, but that's him.

Agreed. That sort of pose is signature Kawano. I'll agree the finishing looks different as well.

Will Xianghua look something like this ? Based on the fact that Soul Calibur 1 designs seem to be the major driving aethestic force

That isn't that attractive imo. I prefer her other incarnations
 
I actually like that design. I think her red outfit from SC2 is the best though. I figure characters are going to get a ton of outfits though.
 
So the V-Trigger thing looks like it's tie to the Animal Soul of the character? Like Mitsu's Tiger?

Or maybe won't be necessarily an Animal thing? But just a specific thing tied to the personality of the character.

Sounds like an alternate branch in the story to me. We are 100% way back in time given the age of the characters, so... kind of a reboot.

This red deflecting mechanic looks weird. Better than JG, but... we'll see.

Patroklos and Pyrrhrhrhhaha are babies/unborn, so they're unlikely to be doing much in the way of fighting.
The other shits, Xiba, Leixia, Natsu, also fucking dead.
Viola, ZWEI... even Hilde... unlikely.
Will we have both Siegfried and Nightmare as separate characters still, or will they be combined like in 2?

Many thoughts and questions...
 
I wonder if there will be time travel or some alternate universe shit going on...that said the character at the end who do we believe that was?
 
BTW (and pardon my language) I effing love how effing SOphitia paries effing Mitsurugi with her effing shield!

I EFFING NEED THAT BLOODY GAME FOR NIGHTMARE'S BUTT'S SAKE!

I wouldn't be surprised if they went with a redesign. Also, if we're going through the stories of multiple games, I'd imagine multiple costumes.

Dunno the exact lore but isn't Natsu a Demon thing and such? maybe she born way back but she stayed young, dunno just saying this cause of the Passion Republic Artwok, also from what we see in the trailer in a more hint that Natsu Artwork wasn't that much of a fake.

Hilde i think she has good chances to be in.

Interesting didn't though about Sieg and Night be one Character. Maybe Sieg will turn Nightmare when he activate his Soul Unleash. (V-Trigger)

From now on i'm gonna call V-Trigger in SC6 "Soul Unleash", until we got an official name for the mechanic. Name's sounds dope would be cool as official name.
 
I am willing to bet you that what they do is a reboot from SCII because the only footage they showed in the flashbacks were from Soul Calibur 3 onward like they were being forgotten. And to add to that, SCII was the most popular, and the most lauded. Although the gameplay isn’t the same, it looks like that direction

Natsu has a demon in her, but she is her age, and thus infant/unborn, soooo...

To add to that list, Amy, also unlikely.

Weird that. This week was released the "reboot" of the Witchblade comics. Different time line as well. We are getting a lot of those lately.

If that's the case so yeah, wonder how they can brought her back in SC6. Thing is that this artwork seems to coincide a lot with everything n SC6, Unleashing her Demon form would very likely be her SU/VT thing. Or maybe they were planning to put her in roster, then they may have changed their mind while game development was progressing.
 
Some things I found while rewatching and discussing with a friend:
  • I think those red parries and strikes we saw from Sophie and Mitsu seem like they might be some focus attack tied to meter. They automatically blocked everything (highs, lows, and mids) and did a massive counter attack that reset to neutral on block.
  • The length of the focus attack is player dependent, as Sophie and Mitsu hold their parry stances for different times. There's likely an upper limit to it for obvious reasons.
  • The focus attack can be/is triggered out of block stun, as we see Mitsu do when Sophie begins her 4AAA string and Sophie do towards the end.
  • The focus attack can also be launched directly without the parrying stance, as we see Mitsu toss it out raw later in the trailer.
  • That yellow aura on Mitsu and blue aura on Sophie at the end look like they're tied to powered up install states like SFV's V-Trigger. If you see Mitsu's key art, he has a yellow tiger aura behind him and I think that ties into it.
  • I'm very interested in that huge twirl at the end where Sophie does a hard side step to dodge Mitsu's powered up strike. It looks like either quick step might get a huge buff or those strikes might be tied to a canned scene like Injustice's clashes. Edit: On close inspection, it seems like that might be tied to quickstepping or side stepping the focus attack. We see Sophie is already mid-step when she does the twirl, so it's possible doing a last second dodge gives you a big repositioning as a reward.
  • Sophie's tits are way too big lol

I don't think it's sticking to just SE/SCI. Vergeben and Hayate confirmed Talim, Tira, and Zasalamel are in it, so we're probably going through the four games I think.

Not confirmed but likely. Also I'm breaking down the video frame by frame and my thoughts will be up later. Right now I have to settle down my old heart. Gotta love this shit man!
