Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

[JohnMcKee]

Why is there a goat in her art?

It's Baphomet I guess :)

 

[The Turbanator]

They're all fine.

Compare SCVI Sophie to any Sophie pre-SCIV and try saying that again.

Actually i'd like to see Taki's face ingame, since they've done good job on this on all revealed characters so far, i think she will look great, i guess we'll find out when she'll be available in some build and someone will strike that mask as it's probably a part of the armor break system. I just hope she will look like an Japanese woman (and not European like she does in SC4).

 

[Psykai]

Nice to see Taki back and looking as visually cool and awesome to play as ever (though I never really played her much myself) but damn that VA... It's so... soulless. Like she's just reading the script with no context or emotion.

I kinda feel like that about most of the VA's in this game so far though. SC has never had fantastic voice acting for sure, but this one's shaping up to be the worst yet. Sophitia, Kilik, Groh, Xianghua, Nightmare and Ivy are "ok" for the most part but could be better. Mitsurugi is ok too but something feels off. Maybe he just doesn't sound Japanese enough or something, but maybe he never has and I'm just tripping.

But Zasalamel sounds way less epic and not as deep as he used to and his lines felt a little flat (though not as bad as Taki). Siegfried sounds awful and again like he's just reading lines without emotion/context and as if they just used his first takes on them all, and now Taki is suffering the same thing.

I know it's "just a fighting game" but sheesh, it feels like they're bringing back all these iconic characters in really awesome ways but also killing them at the same time with horrible acting :( Maybe it's just me.

 

[Ramus]

Also kind of curious what kind of emblem Talim, Tira, Cassandra, and Maxi

Talim will probably have some wind effect emblem or something along those lines.
Cassandra has a somewhat minor lion theme around the series (Nemea shield, most of her titles involve valiant or courageous) so most likely a lion
Zas already has an ouroboros emblem, I think Tira will get crows.
Maxi...good question, maybe a ship or something.

 

[Norik]

Why is there a goat in her art?

That's an Oni, a demon from Japanese folklore. It makes sense since her whole job is to deal those away.

 

[Project Bokuho]

Just be glad the voice acting isn't as bad as Virtua Fighter's l0l

Taki official reval with HD trailer and english voices:

Leaked on Tuesday, revealed on Wednesday in response to the leak l0l

This is different they have officially revealled her today....and it's not Thursday.....WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

We get Niconico to leak Maxi next Tuesday and get him "officially" revealed on Wednesday l0l

 

[SSfox]

When it comes to emblems, i want it to be a Dragon for Maxi.

Taki artwork clean version:

Wow man she looks amazing

She looks amazing!

That's quite... weird...

I wonder if feedback have something to do with it, i remember in the early days of SC6 everytime the facebook account of Soul Calibur post a screen of Sophtia they got backlash about how Sophitia breasts are way too big than they should.

And it's like Ivy and Taki exchanged their breasts size!!:

Weird...

...sigh. Look I will say it now, but they all look fine. No need to make them modest if characters like Astaroth and Kilik and whoever else show off lots of skin.

Don't mind them. Some people like to be prudes just for the sake of it. It gets old quick l0l

 

[Soul]

She looks perfect!!!

HQ Screenshots:

I'm so fucking ready for this game!!

 

[bails38]

Anyone know where Siegfried’s clean art is to be found?

 

[Rex Dart]

HADOUKEN!

I wonder if this is actually part of her projectile animation.

...sigh. Look I will say it now, but they all look fine. No need to make them modest if characters like Astaroth and Kilik and whoever else show off lots of skin.

They weren't talking about how much skin they have showing, they're talking about the unnecessary boob upgrades that Sophitia and Ivy got and how it's kinda weird that Taki's are actually smaller this time
And they look fine to you. Because, y'know, opinions and all that.

 

[WuHT]

Regarding the hips in the key art:

Her thighs don't look outrageously thick, but her "crotch" area seems super wide considering where the legs crease when she has her right leg bent forward.

Compare her pose to her SC3 art and its proportions.

Also, her left elbow (on the right of the art) looks really wonky. I get what angle its supposed to be, but the elbow crease drawn looks odd.

Everything else I like

 

[Ave]

I'm actually glad her ponytail isn't as long as the artwork. As much as I would prefer the long one aesthetically, we all know the hair physics in this game are subpar and the longer ponytail would just look bad ingame.

 

[JohnMcKee]

@WuHT Yeah indeed, her elbow and hips are weird...

But the way she looks in game is stunning imho!

I wish we could take screenshots like that. What I assume is Taki's CE finish pose looks good although I assumed it was the ninja hand signal thingy which is instead in her SC.
