As I’m looking at Party Wolf’s infographic, if it can be called that, I can’t help but hear that super shitty Jurassic Park melodica cover in my head. (The info is still solid, though)

So here it is for everyone to play while they learn:

 

[The Turbanator]

Oooooooorrrrr Sony doesn't like to play ball with Microsoft on the crossplay front and instead of screwing over one set of platform owners most developers decide not to include it at all.

Examples:

https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/12/17111546/microsoft-sony-fortnite-cross-play-ps4-xbox-one

Note what I'm saying in that last comparison. If Bamco were smart, they'd have crossplay between X1 and PC until Sony decides to lighten up when they inevitably backfire in the next console gen.

I gotta say, I like her SCIV outfit better. I like fishnets.

Bamco games are more popular on PS4 than on X1 and PC combined. They won't like to toy with platform that gets them the most profit for the sake of adding a crossplay that adds nothing in terms of money for them.

Crossplay can definitely move units. It's pretty much the entire reason SFV is still playable on PC whereas T7 is almost out and everything else is dead.

Microsoft said no to crossplay last gen because 360 was the market leader. This gen PS4 is the market leader and Sony doesn't want crossplay because it doesn't seen XB1 as competition anymore when that system has no more exclusives since 2016.

Found this article on SRK on SCVI. The last part of the article claims that Combo Breaker could have the update build that Vergeben mentioned.

Wow, thank you Frayhua.

They appear defensively as more similar than I'd like.

It's about time. I'm keeping my expectations low though.

About as expected, tbh. You technically can use them interchangeably, but it really comes down to what you need more at that time.

The part about Sophie is embarrassing to read. Sophie 1K was never an amazing tool, in fact Sophie lows in general were never in her game plan, so I don't know why he spent so much time talking about it. Mentioning 3B as a not good mix up tool when it was never its purpose, which was at best a combo extender close to walls, makes no sense either, it is not a good mix up tool because it is not a mix up tool at all.

Kilik is allowed to do a CE from Soul Charge state despite only having one bar.

Isn't that case with everyone? I thought someone said that you get a free CE in SC.

That's from a dude why doesn't know anything about Sophitia. I also read the part where he said Xianghua was the weakest character in the build. I was like WHAT? Xianghua makes all Horizontals & Verticals not matter getting 100 DMG combos via aGI Lethal Hits.

@Party Wolf How do you feel about the balance of the game so far? A lot of people on the Texas stream were saying it was rather balanced, how do you feel about the statement ?

It seems very balanced. Only character that seemed not as good as the others was Nightmare, but it didn't feel like they'd have to tweak anything to make him a competitive character. He's pretty good too.

Thank you for the information.

Tekken 7 is actually known for being really well balanced, so lets hope this is Soul Calibur 6's fate.

The reason for that is because SFV is still being updated with content, while everything else is not. Crossplay has absolutely nothing to do with this.

Since I’m not technically savvy, I am curious how difficult Gross would be to use.
