SOULCALIBUR 6: News, leaks and information discussion.

[JohnMcKee]

With SCVI coming to PC, I'm pretty sure Kilik & his rival will be revealed because CES is a big event.

Wait and see, only a few hours left ;)

 

[DanteSC3]

Just checked the site myself Im guessing kilik and his rival are going to be the characters

I dunno. I'm still feeling Kilik and Xianghua, personally. I feel like they'll want to drop his rival and papi together.

Not sure they have a new build ready for CES. I guess more for EVO. It makes sense. Also Xianghua and Kilik make sense, but it could also be Sieg and/or Night.

CES begins in 6 hours. I tried searching for any info on their website about when or where exactly SCVI will be, but this is all i can find regarding fgs: https://www.ces.tech/Events-Programs/Events/2018/ELEAGUE-Showcase

Razer's booth, it's on the official SC twitter :) So most probably they're showing the game on PC.

I'm curious about whether or not while landing moves are back or if stun combos are still in. But more than anything I want info on Soul Charge. I think it's going to be a bigger mechanic in mid level play and up than RE and we still don't know much about it.

 

[Hayate]

Still don't have any precise date for my testing, they said to me near dbzf release, and not sure about the build either. Anyway I prefer that it happen later, to be sure to test the new build than the old one!

WL Moves are definitely back. The only stun combos I seen was Sophitia doing AS K to get a Lethal Hit to do 22_88BAK afterwords. Mitsu's CH B6 has longer stun time after a Lethal Hit. Maybe he can combo into 236B like in SCII. SCII was the only game where Mitsu can combo CH B6 ~ 236B. Soul Charge last for 10 seconds. It you get hit in Soul Charge Mode it depletes even faster. Time stops after a CE, activating Soul Charge, or connecting with a RE.

HOLD IT!

New characters are to appear in the EVO demo! It is stated on the official SC6 website, under the "Special" menu!

今回の出展で使用できるキャラクターは
「御剣 平四郎」「ソフィーティア・アレクサンドル」他を予定しています。​

(roughly translated)

Usable characters in this demo
Mitsurugi Heishiro, Sophitia Alexandra, and others are planned.​

Also, on the same website, they say that participants will be chosen via lucky draw if there are too many participants.

AAAAAWWWWW YEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

The only "WL" moves we've seen are Mitsu and Sophie's old WL B attacks, but no one ever did normal jump Bs despite them doing jump As and jump Ks. I just find it hard to believe that with scrubby journos mashing that they were consistently pulling off WL B but not a normal jump B. I think they just made the old WL Bs into jump Bs. Regarding stun combos, I'm referring to SC3 and later repeated stun combos and we still haven't seen that.

As for Soul Charge, I'm aware of those things (as well as the chip damage and break attack properties), but there are still questions. Can we cancel out of certain moves into Soul Charge? Do we get all new moves? Extensions? What other kinds of new properties? Unblockables? Will they have stun combos? Increased lethal hit chances? Everything that was a BE shoved in there? Considering what Soul Charge used to be and the absence of BE, it leaves me with more questions than answers.

If it's going to be at the Razor booth, I wonder if we'll be seeing the PC build for the first time

The PC version was used at PSX 2017 build. Read the disclamer at the bottom.

 

[Mage]

I find it odd that there isn't an English site yet for the game. Apart from Namco's own site of course.

 

[The Turbanator]

CES isn't a gaming event by any means. Don't expect anybody other than Sophie and Mitsu in that demo.

They will reveal rival for sure since they already teased him in the first trailer.

They may as well show his papi and kilik in the next trailer reveal who knows.

Whelp, just lost a bet. Good to know, though.

True, however, I think that the character reveals will come before EVO. Outing new characters in a player demo seems incredibly unceremonious, don't you think?

 

[Himiteshu]

Soul Calibur without Zasalamel, Setsuka, Rock and Hilde isn't fun anymore ;/

Comic Con wasn't a gaming event either. For SCV, Natsu, Z.W.E.I., and Ivy were revealed.

 

[MichaelJackson]

Well I’m excited.

I expect it’ll be Kilik and Rival guy, but who knows.
Maybe they’ll add in more than just those two. Maybe we’ll get Mitsu, Sophie, Kilik, Rival guy, Ivy, and Cervantes, or Astaroth and Maxi, or Raph and Amyiola.

Who knows what wacky pairing they could tack on to this next build, though I’m still leaning towards them just adding two more characters.
