Soulcalibur VI General Roster Speculation Thread

SoulCalibur VI: which 3 characters do you most hope for?

  • A brand new character

  • Amy

  • Cassandra

  • Hilde

  • Hwang/Yunsung and/or Lizardman

  • Rock

  • Setsuka

  • Viola

  • Z.W.E.I.

  • Other: Abyss, Algol, Dampierre, Elysium, Leixia, Li Long, Patroklos, etc.


Results are only viewable after voting.
I want to see Amy as a cameo in story mode and DLC in SC VI, but not in main roster...
If Amy was looking for Soul Edge to help her father she would have relevance in plot like Cassandra, but she doesn't do anything, she only serves as reason for Raphael comeback...
Viola connects to several characters in the series (Z.W.E.I, Siegfried, Patroklos, Pyrrha, Graf Dumas, probably Hilde and Voldo), but I prefer her in FUTURE timeline with Leixia, Patroklos, Riki, Xiba, Yoshimitsu II, Natsu, Z.W.E.I, Pyrrha, Hilde's sons...they need a second chance to shine in SC "XV"
You forgot Bangoo, but yes to this.
 
I do hope Bangoo could appear as a DLC, but the timeline seems to be back to the era when Bangoo was still a young boy. Anyway, I am hoping to see a younger Rock at his early 30s.

Sorry, second look at what you quote, I agree with you! Bangoo should be in the future timeline!
Aeon was ordered by the Fygul Cestemus cult to capture Bangoo in SC, maybe we will see them in the story mode.
 
With all the styles that have been added, some seem to be rather forgotten. For new characters/ returning bonus characters (like Valeria), who wants to see characters like Valeria, Miser and Abelia?
Another thing i was thinking about is, what about Rock? Rock has been around for a long time, but astaroth basically made him irrelevent, and now he just is not unique enough to really be his own character? This is the same with a lot of clones, but Rock is the main offender here, which kinda sucks for him I guess. At least Mina got her own very unique style later.

Edit: We are assuming that they are in a complete form and aren't 'janky'

It's really sad. Rock to me is wayyyy more fun to use than Astaroth. Especially in the last game that they were in together, SC4. Unfortunately, he isn't popular enough to return imo. However, since this is a reboot, and characters like Hwang have somewhat of a higher chance to return, i'm personally 7% more hopeful for him to return. I know if it was a sequel, his chances would be 0%. But y'know..
 
No Rock, no money for Namco. I did not touch SC5 because Rock or Bangoo was absent.

If Astaroth is in SC6 without Rock, they should reboot the story to tell another way to produce Astaroth and erase players' memories that this demonic creature was duplicated from Rock in SC1's story. Personally, this kind of reboot is unacceptable for me if they had said that the story would be rebooted back to the time of SC1.

Better way is to tell that after finding his fighting style being duplicated, Rock trains himself hard and gets new one. Well, just my personal hope.

Anyway, I really want Rock back.
 
If someone tells me that SC4 Rock and Yun are just clones, but Mina has a "very unique style," I have a hard time taking them seriously.
Wait Yun? I don't think he's comparable to Mi-na and Rock in this situation, Hwang and Xianghua had similarities, but in IV there wasn't a single character Yun was similar to, Rock had Astaroth and Mi-na had Kilik.


PS : however made the topic forgot Greed, who I'd vote for.

I can barely remember the styles and bonus characters, but i'd say a character using Steel fan would be great, but that Demuth was a wack character design tbh. I'd rather see this weapon on a mature Chinese character, preferably female, and maybe she would be an assassin (or at least vilain).

Her character design would be something like i'd say: Litchi Fei Ling, Ada Wong, Lana Lei or Anna Williams, this kind of style.

If it's male Character i'd say someone that has a similar design to Feng Wei would fit this weapon i think.
 
I really wanted an old woman Taki to show up in SC5 with an updated Sword and Shuriken style, so I'm going with that. Grieve Edge was pretty fun too.

Rock looks stupid.Astaroth is awesome.End of story.
 
I was never a Astaroth or Rock/Berserker user but I am dying to see Hwang return mainly because his moveset was more fun than Yun-seongs was.

I quite liked the Darth Vader move style until it was too late for me to redownload the DLC. I saw someone on gamefaqs say that Cassandra was going to use a longsword with Vader's moveset in SC5, as odd as it sounds I would have been interested. Best to give it to a new character though.

I would like to see a Necrid style come back even if his attacks were a mixure of other characters moves he was fun to mess with. I guess Algol is somewhat the same initial concept but its not the same.
 
I think you meant Haulin and not Luna in the poll. As far as I am concerned it would be nice to see Rock return. If they are really changing things can we at least get Bangoo?
 
Strange that people always seem to exclude Groh's Dad in these predictions. Anyway here is my worst and best case scenario.

If there is only going to be twenty:

Talim
Taki
Raphael
Astaroth
Siegfried
Voldo
Yoshimitsu
Groh's dad
Tira
Maxi
Guest character
Cervantes

My ideal wish are additions to my first list here:

Yun-seong
Seong Nina
Cassandra
Rock
Hilde
Setsuka
Lizardman
Amy
Li Long
Hwang

I know that this is a total of 30, but one can wish right?
 
Going by rumors I’ll assume:

Confirmed:
  1. Mitsurugi
  2. Sophitia
  3. Grøh
  4. Nightmare
  5. Xianghua
  6. Kilik
  7. Ivy
  8. Zasalamel
Very likely:

9: Taki
10: Voldo
11: Maxi
12: Astaroth

Likely:
13: Talim
14: Tira
15: Father

Somewhat possible. Otherwise likely DLC.
16: Cervantes
17: Yoshimitsu
18: Raph
19: Cassandra
20: Siegfried
21: Lizardman

Unlikely. Potential DLC:
22: Mina
23: Hwang
24: Yun-Seong
25: Rock
26: Inferno
27: Edge Master
28: Hilde
29: Amy

Chance of DLC only
30: ZWEI
31: Viola


Not Happening
32: Charade
33: Oldadan
34: The hellspawn of V
35: Elysium
36: Li Long
37: Bangoo

But if Groh’s father is the head of Aval which turns out to be the main antagonist he’d possibly be a boss and unlockable.


And future guessing for VII: Maxi will die in the story mode for good this time and there will be Li Long returning. Well a man can dream.
