I still heavily doubt either of those sources are real. Even the legit leakers tend to just be people who QA tested an early build and only know much about 3-4 characters but make up more stuff to stay relevant. Didn't your first source say there was going to be a Switch version? Or was that someone else? Because that pretty much confirms them as fake.

The "SCVI is also coming to Switch and Link is on it" source was someone completely different.
I haven't talked to them since a little after SCVI got revealed and they claimed it would still get revealed later. Personally don't want to waste my time giving them anymore attention anyway since they either knew information that was only discussed and not planned at all yet, or were just bullshitting but knew just enough about SCVI's existence, yet hoping using me to spark the interest would will it into existence.

The whole "there might be a Fire Emblem guest character" thing was just speculation based on a voice actor my main SCVI source heard about based on a character who's since been revealed for SCVI who also voices a popular Fire Emblem character. This was before SCVI was formally revealed. Soon after they found out who the character was in particular and it erased the speculation entirely (it was Xianghua)

As I said, this person who contacted me earlier was completely new. If anyone cares, they claimed to have worked for Bandai Namco and felt they were wrongfully terminated and had an axe to grind and actually didn't sign any NDAs because they fired them before they ever even had them sign them (they had a short tenure with the company working with localization) so they got into contact with me as a surrogate since I'm a leaker who also speaks German.
It was a pretty weird and out of nowhere personal message they sent me with this list of various leaks of things too. lol
If what they said is all true though, well, I don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

It's not about being "real" warriors when it comes to guests. It's all about popularity and Zoro is from the biggest anime/manga, it makes a lot of sense to include him.

If he's in I just hope they make him fit SC's aesthetic and not look like a cartoon as that would be jarring. When you think about it he could be a good fit, he has a unique fighting style and fits the stance thing they are going for in this game. He wouldn't be game breaking like Trunks would be with his energy beams.

I second this. While i'm not even a fan of both, but they would be better than any anime characters or 2B (not that 2B is bad or i hate animes, but she's way too futuristic for SC, it's like a collision between Blade Runner and Thor which is quite nonsensical imo, but maybe it's just me, i realize those last years with the internet that there are many people that don't seem to mind nonsens even if it's in a super high level...)

But mostly a Dark Soul Character, mainly Artorias would be my number 1 pick for a guest in SC6.

I prefer Zoro over 2B, like way more. The only thing that would annoy me is if they keep the anime design...

I hope that IF THIS IS TRUE and Zoro is, that they keep his features, but make him look realistic anime styled like SC is.
I've seen fanart do this kind of thing for him before. If they do that, it's perfectly fine and ol' Mosshead will fit in.
Also, I can't imagine his reveal trailer not being some fancy shit with him versus Mitsurugi having a dramatic samurai battle.
The reveal trailer idea writes itself.
 
If they'll put Zoro they'll need to make him look like a SC character, which isn't easy because he's anime character.

Personally speaking i would prefer Mihawk way more as a One Piece Character.
 
A 22/24 + DLC that adds 6/4 and ends up with a 28 character roster is not that bad for a 2018 game to be honest, but I think 24 sounds more likely since Vergeben's original source was under that impression. And considering he was right about Zas...because lets be real, no one could be that sure of Zas and confirmed him not DLC less than a month of his reveal.

So, under the optimistic eye of a 24 roster and some leaks, we have.

Sophie, Mitsu, Kilik, X, Nighty, Groh, Ivy and Zas=8
Taki, Cassandra, Amy/Viola, Maxi, Asta, Tira and Sieg leaked= 7
Which means we got 11
11 characters left to know about.

Ps: If Zoro is in I doubt they did add 2B, I think on a aesthetics alone concept Zoro would be a bad match unless he is re-designed to death to fit the style of SC
 
I'll spare you the biology lesson.
It's kinda flexible until it needs to be stiff, ladies.
Let's get back on topic.

Me, I want EVERY canon classic character in this upcoming game. I don't mind fresh blood but anyone who was mainstay in Edge / Blade and Calibur should be in here and then some favourites from SC2 imo.
Obviously we can skip Li Long for Maxi, though he could be an alternate skin or something.
But Seung Mina is a significant character for me personally, I really want her to be in.
Taki is a no-brainer, obviously everybody wants her.
 
The only thing they'd need to do with Zoro is make him look realistic and probably jazz up his clothes a bit. What he wears could actually suit the time-period of Soul Calibur with minimal changes to it.

Anyway, this isn't the thread for this. This thread is: https://8wayrun.com/threads/soulcalibur-vi-general-roster-speculation-thread.19677/page-29

Nope, over the 2 characters proposed Zoro would be better, if they don't keep the exact appearance he has in the manga.

But if I have to choose, I'd rather have none of them.
 
Do like how Hwang’s chances increased. Not cool with DLC Cervantes. My only hope is Ivy’s roster slot being in a convenient spot to hint at Cervantes.

Makes me think the DLC might be the generally unlockable characters.

The extra two are possibly unlockable.

I think what @JohnMcKee means is, interpret Oda's art style into looking realistic anime styled like Soul Calibur is, and Zoro will look perfectly fine.
These examples might help:

^ These are of the younger, thinner pre-timeskip Zoro, mind you. But it shows that it's entirely possible.

Exactly, thanks.

I'd swoon over that Zoro. If he is the guest and look somewhat like that, I'll welcome him with my arms (and wallet) wide open.

The first picture especially expresses the idea the best I think since the expression there is such a great adaptation that it can even invoke his voice to come to mind. lol
If he is the guest, then I hope it's something as good as that in terms of faithfulness. Obviously they'd go with the timeskip version where he bulked up more and gained some new scars. But the face interpretation there is just the perfect kind of template for a way to do it.
 
Um... DLC character plans tend not to be changed mid-development. Especially THIS CLOSE to launch (after 3 years in dev), and even more especially making a DLC character into a launch one. I'm calling BS on that part. Development can change parts in the middle, but it isn't so volatile that they develop a character for 3 years, suddenly design to put him into the main game, and announce him the month after.

Also Zoro is such a lame guest and I hope that's wrong too. I'd even take Jago like that 4chan leak said over him.
