SOULCALIBUR 6: News, leaks and information discussion.

[Draggonnfs]

In SCIV, Nightmare has a personal Soul Charge called Terror Charge with A+B, 2A+B, & GS A+B. In SCV, NTC was dropped. In SCVI, it's back with A+B, 2A+B, & 4KK. The 2nd Hit of 4KK is Nightmare's WS A or the 2nd part of his SCV GS K [BE]. This will allow Nightmare to go into Soul Charge Mode without spending a bar of meter. If Nightmare has no meter he can just do moves in Soul Charge Mode via Terror Charge.

With this and Kilik's dark SC, I really like how they're implementing Soul Charge, I'd like to see more like this. Just got an idea that they could do something interesting for Taki and Rekki-Maru, since it always had some special powers and an aura.

I think Ivy is going to similar to her SCIV self because stances that were lost are back in SCVI.

I see a lot of SCV and SC2 aspects in this game which is great since they're the two best games in the series. I'm honestly watching these SCVI gameplays more than I'm playing DBFZ lol.

 

[Himiteshu]

It's the best Nightmare design, I honestly was never fan of a red hair design

 

[AndyrooSC]

Really really hope we get a release date soon ><

I have to say im extremelly worried about this damned RE mechanic...i mean, its not just the fact you force an attacking opponent to a paper, rock and scissors game, its also the fact that the one that made the RE has the initial damage of the clash guaranteed. Imagine both of you have low health, that situacion may become a turtling game, where there may the concern that if i choose to attack ill get RE'd and that initial clash will kill me 100%, and there will be hesitation to attack. Idk what you guys think about this mechanic. Excuse my english.

The fact GB attacks beat RE and GI will force your opponent to move out the way of them I'd say it's balanced

Do you have a source for that? I haven't been fortunate enough to hear such a thing.

I would say it's an assumption because Mitsurugi and Nightmare got stances back that Ivy likely will too. Rather a statement that SCVI has returning stances in it, which is true, and logic would follow that Ivy will get at least some if not all of hers back too.

I'm not a fan of the RE mechanic, but it has its weaknesses. It's very linear, if it fails your guard meter suffers, it can't stop unblockable attacks or guard break attacks, and it's not even safe on block. This is full on reading your opponent. In a situation where both of your lives are low and you have the lingering threat of the RE attack KOing you, you have to bait it out. Like run up to them and immediately sidestep when you get close, or use guard break attacks.

 

[Frayhua]

No, I'm said that because some moves & stances are returning in SCVI after being removed in SCV.

Also, team battle might be in SCVI.

 

[Ave]

YES. YES. YES. I need this.

Max talks about SC6

Max saying that Nightmare doesn't play like Siegfried is a HUGE relief. Also love the SC2 style Nightmare you get when you knock the armour off.

 

[SpellcraftQuill]

...Is it silly I’m more excited by the menu slots? Of course it could mean that the character select slots might remain the same...

They better be worth it.

 

[TalimUser]

Im glad to hear from Max RE is easily counterable

 

[Ramus]

People who play this game seem to be having so much fun, can't wait to at least know when it is dropping.

 

[Project Bokuho]

I told him to put 2B from Nier Automata in the game as a guest character, well, he blushed, has been silent, and say "sorry, can't say anything". I'm pretty sure that the name of 2B came in the suggested guest list characters by seeing his face :D, since they are working with Square Enix already for Noctis in Tekken...they're in good business relationships. Sooooo i'm dreaming of it.

2B would be a great guest character!

It didn't stop them from using Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

or Star Wars (for promoting The Force Unleashed)...or Tekken l0l

Hopefully.

Based on this menu (changes are bound to happen), I have a feeling that special versus might be included.

Oh, i didnt though about that, but can you parry a RE?

 

[DanteSC3]

Well The Force Unleashed was released almost right about at the same time, so it was current. Though I'm still kinda blah about the Star Wars stuff, because of Yoda, obviously, but the worst part about Yoda, for me, is that Yoda actually was not even in The Force Unleashed, so his cameo was stupid. There was a green lightsaber character in The Force Unleashed, General Kota, who could have been used instead of Yoda. Kota was even in the demo for The Force Unleashed, so even people who hadn't played the game could still know who he was. And he wouldn't have been a dwarf.

Tekken gets carte-blanche, I suppose, since we've had Yoshimitsu since SoulCalibur I, and various ins and outs throughout the series.


The thing about 2B, though, if she is a guest character in the game, is her name is literally an attack notation, that won't be confusing at all...
