By taking this line of logic, whats to say Xianghua's importance to Kilik at all ? They only were familiar together because of prior cannon / story line.

Maybe she won't return at all (she probably will) but I want to play devil's advocate.

This is an interesting thing to think about, actually. Most people don't usually think much of Xianghua aside from being stuck to Kilik like glue because they don't remember her as the first wielder of Soul Calibur (in relative canon). Most people immediately think of Siegfried when it comes to Soul Calibur being its wielder since he's been stuck with it for two whole games; it even assumed some sort of ownership over him in IV, what with the suddenly crystalline armor.

If we wanted to keep Xianghua in the storyline and pay tribute to the original story while changing it for the reboot, I can almost imagine the game skewing towards Xianghua as Soul Calibur's new host while Siegfried/Nightmare continues to be that for Soul Edge. Kilik becomes the middle ground between the two powers, as he normally has been, what with having the Dvapara-Yuga and Kali-Yuga.

But wouldn't that imply that Nightmare + siegfried will merge movesets ?

Isn't that what happened originally? Nightmare and Siegfried were the same character once, but they ended up split from SC3 on, thats why their movesets are still somewhat similar. We could have another character as Nightmare (the only other "Nightmare" we had canonically was Pyrrha as Pyrrha Ω) but I think Nightmare is kinda established as either his own character or another version of Siegfried, always wielding a Zweihänder, so if we end up having another person as "Nightmare" using another moveset it would be quite weird and somewhat confusing, unless they gave it another name.

Somehow they'll have Siegfried and Nightmare both be separate, playable characters. At least one of them will be unlocked after finishing Story Mode. They'll make it work LOL.
 
I have a question Soul Calibur 4 was the only game I really put any time into the online and one thing that I remember that I disliked is whenever I'm choosing a character my opponent would just be sitting there on the character select screen and I'm debating in my head whether to use Talim or Amy so I move down to Talim my opponent would immediately jump to Kilik but if went over to Amy they would jump to a different character so basically they were just waiting for me to pick my character so they could pick a good counter which was annoying having to fight like 10 Kiliks in a row because they have a massive reach advantage over Talim; did they change it in Soul Calibur 5 so you couldn't see who your opponent was choosing because it was annoying going online an playing people who just sat there and waited to see who I'd pick so they could get a good match up against my character if they didn't I would like to see that in Soul Calibur 6.

If I remember right they said something it being a conscious decision that was made to avoid counter picking. I'm thinking it'll remain the same with this game.

I did notice that on IV and V, Ivy didn't just gain boob weight though, it was quite distributed when you analyze it. She was, as the kids would say, thicc on those two.
Especially in comparison to her previous design's body type. They didn't just increase the boob weight and call it a day. They made her ass, hips, thighs, and mid section thicker too. So it wasn't like they went and only made her boobs bigger and made her otherwise svelte, or tried to make her body type the exact same or thinner with bigger boobs than before. They upped the body fat in general for her on IV (which was retained on V).
I wouldn't be surprised if her build/model on VI is based on the IV and V type still.
The biggest question is how her face looks or might change since IV/V drastically changed her face in comparison to her previous type, while Sophitia still has the same facial features on VI as she did on IV and as Elysium on V.

Yes indeed, it was also same in V but a bit less "thicc" as you said also i guess the more classy V costume helped.

Anyway i wonder what the majority of Ivy fans think about this aspect and what they prefer, personally i think she was decades better in 2 and 3 in terms of Body shape and face, and i really hope in 6 she will be kind of similar and they'll do her justice. I guess i'll just have to wait and see... and pray.

I don't know if it would qualify, but, I'll just tell you all right now: stop thinking about the previous timeline and canon. Aspects are the same and similar, but don't expect all the same events to be retold the same way.
They're intentionally ignoring saying character's birth years and ages in Sophitia and Mitsurugi's bios for VI.
Start thinking of this more as a reboot. Just like they stressed in the interview as the key word for the game.
And if you're thinking the SCVI roster will be a 1:1 recreation of SC1's, well, stop thinking that too.

Tbh this is kind of what i expected, i mean let's be honest if the Story of SC6 would be just a retelling of old SC stories it would have been not very creative and quite boring lol. Hail for the new stuff (as soon as it's creative)

I hope they take this opportunity to connect more characters together. Not in contrived ways, and not necessarily the whole cast each hooked into each other, but I'd like to see fewer situations where characters are present, but have no meaningful interaction with anyone else in the cast. There are also a few pairs--rivals, friends, siblings, etc.--which could be made more dynamic with the inclusion of a third character to round off their story.

I completely agree. This series could use some more actual character interaction and a little less "We have encountered each other! We must fight!"
I remember reading something about Taki and Sophitia encountering each other in SE's story. It would be cool if there was some follow-up to that in which they interact with each other in SC6, in both special battle dialogue and the story itself.

Also, side note, I really hope we get multiple battle intros rather than just the 2 standard intros with the handful of special dialogue that we got in SC5. That was honestly really boring after a little while, and so far we've only heard 2 intro quotes from both Mitsu and Soph so I'm worried. Hopefully it's just because it's an unfinished build.
 
Reminds me of this:

Guess they intended to continue it and add "family" members? Like Cassandra, maybe Amy, etc.
 
Ooh, all these comments against boob windows and nipples, it's like I entered the Huffinton Post.

What i wanna say with it - me and many other are abit sick of those extremly nude outfits.

Funny, because me and many others think those extremely nude outfits are just fine.

I knew a couple of dominatrix girls, and to them having to cover themselves or dress "normal" was like hiding their true selves, denying who they were.

Aside from that, I like Ivy's SC3 and SC4 the best and hope they return. Except for that silly bow tie in her neck choker in SC4.

Big-breasted girls have a right to exist and be represented in video games! I invoke the spirits of Hitomi Tanaka and Lucy Pinder to clean all the foulness in this thread!!

Nothing wrong with big breasted girls but I dont need porn in fighting games cus it's just stupid.
Part of the reason I couldnt take DOA serious sometimes.
 
You know when I was younger playing SC on my mates Dreamcast and SC2 on my PS2 I never really noticed things like, well, Ivy... I mean I noticed and everything but I never really paid it much mind as I was too busy, you know, enjoying the game.

It never really occurred to me to do so until I grew up and started playing SC4 and 5 again. At which point I feel it has been gradually being pushed more and more in my face in ways I'd rather not dignify with a response.

If you're reading this please put an end to that nonsense Project Soul once and for all. I never noticed it before but as I started using the internet to find out more what everyone thinks about the series I found it has a rather... Unseemly reputation.

I've always found it repugnant and it needs to stop. You know what I'm talking about...

No more of this... Please.
