Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

[Norik]

We started talking about a specific story composed of two grand stories. The story of Soul Calibur VI takes place around the protagonist, Kilik, the new character Grøh and other new fighters

"We have different game modes for players to have fun while playing alone. They will be able to experience and “achieve something with their own sword,” in one of the concepts of this game"

We explained before that there will be two major story lines. For Geralt he will be involved in one of them.

Sounds like there will be a proper SC story mode, and then a secondary (CaS-based?) mode. I could see Geralt playing a role in the latter, that would finally give the guest character something interesting to do without messing with the proper SC lore.

inb4 the next trailer is CaS and everyone here is butthurt but me

I am sure most people in this website loves CaS so dont expect butthurt :D

I don't think Pac want a game ruled by men. I thought he wants a game with same number for females and males ? Maybe I'm wrong though.

But I agree with Keiichi, I don't see a problem with a character being gay, lesbian, straight, bisexual or transgender. Maxi being gay doesn't matter to me. If he is, ok good, if he is not, well, he is not, lol !

They're definitely not dead, and the fact that they're taking their time means we've got big surprises coming our way (hopefully). But, like any other SC fan, the wait and anticipation kills me. Waiting is hard and boring but we've waited like 6 years, we can wait 3 more days.. or 10 days.. .or 17 days, and you bet your asses we'll get a new trailer on one of those dates so let's be patient.

Oh my... We're like children waiting for the Christmas present, haha... or at least a Birthday's gift, since Christmas is far from us X)

 

[M.o.D]

I wouldn't be butthurt about CaS but I want to see characters like Maxi, Astaroth, and Cervantes first.

Tbh I'm in the camp of "I have no expectations/hopes" except for the last Thursday of the month so yeah

 

[Norik]

I will say that now that I'm reading the original interview in Spanish, the English translation posted here earlier is a little misleading.

The bit about "two stories" was in response to the question "Will there be a common story for everyone, or will each character have their own story?" This context makes it sound less like two different story modes and more like two parallel plot lines, one centering on Kilik and the other on Grøh.

All of this just makes the bit about Geralt's involvement more confusing, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I dont want the game to be overrun by female fighters. This coming from a man who loves women, once a fighting game roster has an over abundance of one sex than the other things get a little crazy.
I play DOA, Ive seen the effects first hand lol.
I actually like that there is a new (potentially two) new male characters. As from a design standpoint males are usually harder to make varied and unique.
Im still holding that first leak as true as up until it hasnt been made false by any reveal and it seems accurate. (Though I really hope Maxi isnt gay....)

One or two new female characters wouldn't "overrun" the game with female characters, seeing as how there are way more male characters in this series than female anyways. Also, this series has always had an over abundance of one sex over the other and things haven't gotten crazy yet.

Main story and maybe a mission mode like CoTS or the first few games?

 

[Himiteshu]

You know, in previous games you'd only get gameplay once every few months, and had to rely on the press describing the game occasionally in between. And the games weren't even playable for 4 or 5 months.

Times are changin

 

[Pac]

Eww. You don't want the game to be "overrun" by one sex but it is by male fighters, so ?
+ what is the effects with DOA? People actually love it.
++ what is the problem with a character being gay straight bi or anything??? No offense but your comment is strange and can be offensive.

Having a roster that has just as many interesting male characters as female characters is just, cool. Designing an interesting female warrior is just easier so you end up with alot of cliché s in your final product that are either abit taboo or overdone. (Schoolgirl or lolli garbage...you get the idea)

And you can be offended...anyone can..I could care less. I dont want Maxi to be gay. He didnt start off gay. Why change him? Dont do that with a legacy character.
If Project Soul wants to put a gay character in the game so bad then they should make a new character entirely and make him gay. You're alienating ALOT of Maxi mains who can't relate to that.

 

[JayShadow]

I dont want Maxi to be gay. He didnt start off gay.

How do you know that? Cause there's no mention of his sexuality at all in the series. I must have missed the win pose where he yells "And I'm banging so many women!"

 

[CalibursEdge]

Bingoooooo!

It's self inserting on your part Pac. You just assume Maxi's straight because society as a whole uses that as the default orientation. Not your fault, but don't gimme that theyre turning him gay nonsense. You're also barking up the WRONG tree saying that they're breaking the relationship between the player and Maxi just cuz the player might be a straight man. It's honestly laughable.

Back to the story preferences. I really like the arcade style where everyone had their own storyline that crosses. Why do you (anyone) think Bamco might want to change that? Chronicles had a lot of text, sure, but I loved as much story as I could get.

Wtf, how is it easier to design female characters ??? It might be harder actually.

Wait, did someone officialy say that Maxi was straight before the reboot? I need the receipts, because otherwise this is pointless. (+ it doesn't affect his gameplay LMAO ??)
By the way you can relate to a gay character, being straight, it's not forbidden.

We need SoulCalibur 6 soon. The fan-base is starting to eat itself, again.

Same here. Just hoping that they will show off the newest playable build at some point and further character announcements.

And at what juncture was Maxi's sexuality revealed to us? Can you prove he wasn't gay or has this been canonically left in the air? Honestly, just don't bother weighing in. Nobody cares if you don't want Maxi to be gay and the only reason you'd say such a thing is to be a shit-starter.

If any Maxi mains get alienated by something that actually doesn't change the way Maxi plays? Good, we don't need 'em anyway. Get 'em gone.

 

[Keiichi Del Rey]

There's nothing about "fan base eating itself", "identity politics" or idk, homophobia is not allowed here that's all lmao.

 

[I_Love_Aogami]

Damn, like when someone has a very different opinion here people lose their minds and gang up on them.

 

[CFW]

Anybody in this thread want hwang or yun seong?

 

[REPROBEAN_CHILD]

There's a YouTube video on this subject, actually.

In Overwatch's case, the male characters had more variation in their body shapes. When you compare them to the female characters, the girls all use a similar body frame. Even the heavier females like Mei and Zarya were just using a modified version of that frame. Compare that to the men, who can look very different from each other ( et, Roadhog, Reinhardt, McCree, Lucio, Junkrat, & Bjorn).

In terms of SoulCalibur, I noticed that most of the females had a similar height in SCV. If you compare them using the CaS height system (know it's not 100% accurate, but it's a good indicator), Tira, Pyrrha (& Omega), Leixia, Elysium, Hilde were all size 2. The only exceptions were Viola (between 1 and 2) Natsu (3) and Ivy (4). Those three characters were also the only ones of that those heights for females. Ivy was the only height 4 female and unless you made a CaS, there wasn't any height 5 females. The males characters, on the other hand, were WAY more varied. Multiple males were 3, 4, or 5, along with Astaroth exceeding everything. So, it does seem like more effort goes into varying male anatomy than females

I want Yun seong, or hwang, but with yun seong style, i hope it be most of all his SC2 style, it was the best style he had
