I don't think anything is broken. Maxi fly-kicked Siegfried off the ring, but also flew off the ring himself doing so, which makes it a double out of the ring, in which case it doesn't matter who kicked who to begin with. The loser is decided by which character falls down faster to hit the bottom of the pit first. That's how it always has been.
But you could say the same about literally every other guest. Ezio doesn't play anything like he does in his game and neither does Kratos. Same with Geralt. And as far as Dark Soul guest goes, I doubt it. DS is known for its difficulty, the challenging bosses, and gameplay. You rarely hear anything about the characters or anything regarding the story for that matter. Including a DS character would be a waste imo, with it being a game where you create your own character (thats what CaS is for).
That's correct, and I've gotten my ass kicked by my friend's Maxi enough to know that is exactly how that kick always has worked. There really has been no noticeable bugs so far (apart from the funny one where nightmare froze in place and slid after dying) and any that look like gameplay-affecting bugs has made sense within the game's mechanics upon closer inspection, like on Max Dood's SCVI stream where Kilik popped CE and Sophi did too immediately after but Sophi landed with hers. Sophi's just has less startup frames.
Bayonetta was not a guest in V due to the fact she would be fundamentally break the game. 2B shares a lot of the issues Bayonetta would bring, specially with her drone, 2B is as bad fit in many ways, her introduction wouldn't be very different from Star Wars characters, which is something people mock to this day.
... this would be like saying Cervantes' pistol is the same as an AR-15
But this year's Gamescom hasn't even started yet?
Lol, I mean Comic-Con, sorry
Siegfried went out of the ring first - kicked out by Maxi! Why should Maxi be the one to lose in that situation!?
Rock is a copy and paste character - so makes sense - easy inclusion... a bit like the soundtracks!
Seen it enough times in SC4 to expect it so i'm not so concerned about it.
If you're calling this game broken on this account, you're calling Soulcalibur as a series broken. Maxi has always fallen into the "ring out zone" first when he uses that move too close to the edge, regardless of whether he hits someone else off as well or not. This is because the opponent is knocked into the air after maxi has already jumped, so he falls while they're still rising, meaning he'll get rung out first every time while they're still in the air. Maxi should lose because he used the wrong move at the wrong time, and should learn from this to space it so that he lands while the opponent goes over the edge.
Bayonetta's problem would be from the Wicked Weave attacks (he giant hands and feet that appear) and monster summoning. 2B does not have that gameplay element. If you want to mention the pod, it doesn't need to be included in her base gameplay to feel like "2B." It could just be used as a critical edge. Besides, its been over 7 years since that interview and SCV was a well-known rush job. You'd think they'd come up with a solution by now since 2B isn't as crazy as Bayonetta.
"Movement" to match that of her original game is not relevant at all. They don't need to make her a crazy character, just give her moves that fit SoulCalibur like some of the other guests. No, she doesn't need to jump, just like Ezio didn't need to use a Piece of Eden in SCV.
If it's the clip I'm thinking of, Maxi lost because he falls below the stage first. This isn't new, it's been the rules for decades.
Zwei and Viola definitely deserve to return and I'm sure we can convince Okubo to add them in a possible Season 2 DLC if we insist the same way people did with Anna Williams, Lei Wulong and company...
