SOULCALIBUR 6: News, leaks and information discussion.

[mokamoka827]

Dude i haven't watch it yet, but i f*cking knew geralt would have a longer breakdown that the other characters, i just knew it lol

Not entirely surprising since they take the time discuss the process of bringing him from The Witcher to Soulcalibur and the minor challenges that brings. But yeah, I think Okubo should takes some notes, this showcase puts the others to shame tbh. I mean, they're not super important but if they want to build any level of hype with these videos, then they need to do a better job with them.

every character breakdown should be long like this new video.

 

[AndyrooSC]

Get hype for that tiny additional gameplay that we didn't see in his reveal trailer! XD

I created GIFs of the extra parts in here - https://8wayrun.com/threads/scvi-geralt-gameplay-discussions.19891/#post-735750

Hey @MarkMan, do you have any information on if Texas Showdown will have a playable build of SC6?

Totally agree.

Exactly! Soul Calibur is an attractive and complex game, which can be intensely felt in momentary instances within fights. Because this is unknown to many people, you need to relegate some things properly. Geralt showcase tells us WHY he is cool in a witty and eloquent way. It doesn't just tell us that he IS cool and what weapon he uses.

The fact that Kayane was able to record the previously missing movelists is already an indication that something has changed, and I doubt that's going to be all we get tomorrow.

Does this mean that Kayane was actually able to view the full movesets of the previously announced characters for the first time? Just curious

When she said she recorded the command list she meant she went through their moves and recorded it, rather than the given one in the menu.

Hoping for a reveal tomorrow...

Hoping for a reveal tomorrow...

I'm sure there will be.

 

[Nyte]

I'm sure there will be.

I really, really hope it's Taki. It's been way overdue.

 

[SomeRandomHuman]

I really, really hope it's Taki. It's been way overdue.

I think that characters that are "leaked" have higher chances of being revealed next, as they obviously were discussed/created earlier than others, judging as somebody managed to know enough to "leak" them.
So big chances are that next reveals will include those: Taki, Talim, Maxi.

All three of those use two weapons though. I would expect one or two single weapon users in the list.

I don't see why that would be the case.

None of the reveals so far have been based on how many weapons each character wields. There hasn't really been much of a pattern to the reveals.

 

[Jakajantiamu]

True. But a intentional variety in styles and weapons is best. Maxi and Talim are actually very similar even if impacts and presentation are way different.

I still really want to see her yomotomo though. :) Would fit with Windy March.

 

[DanteSC3]

There hasn't really been much of a pattern to the reveals.

I would say there has been, in regards to character status and relationships.

Sophitia and Mitsurugi - "Poster" characters, one female and one male, who have been with the franchise from the beginning, even SoulBlade.
Kilik and Xianghua - They're inseparable, really goes without saying.
Kilik and Grøh - They're rivals, if Vergeben is to be believed.
Xianghua and Nightmare - The hero and villain of SoulCalibur I-II.
Zasalamel and Ivy - "Magician" type characters on either side of the Soul Edge situation. Notably, both appeared on the cover to SoulCalibur III.

Maxi is a missing link to the trio of himself, Kilik, and Xianghua, so he could be next for that reason, and Taki has ties to Sophitia, but Talim doesn't fit in so much. Talim is mostly tied to Yun-seong and Seong Mi-na, characters-wise, though there is the central idea that she'd be linked to Nightmare, to oppose Soul Edge, but that was practically everyone in SoulCalibur II, who each had fragments of Soul Edge that led them to Nightmare. And then there's that Maxi probably can't be introduced without Astaroth, as their souls are fiercely entangled.

So if there's three, it seems more likely to be Maxi, Astaroth, and Taki.

 

[MichaelJackson]

I hope there's a reveal and it's a tale of lovers who cannot be parted.... Astaroth and his axe.

...also maybe some other schlub... who cares? WHERE'S ASTAROTH?

 

[LisaK]

Maxi probably can't be introduced without Astaroth, as their souls are fiercely entangled.

In SC IV

In SC V

The day has come...

The livestream starts in 20 Hours. Like always, if there's a reveal trailer, we'll most likely get it way earlier.

It hasn't been announced officially yet, but we're finalizing it. So yes. Hoping to announce with the Texas Showdown staff and Bandai Namco Ent. soon. Make plans to be there :)
