Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

i just hope the clipping and incompatibility issues from SCV are addressed here
If you watch the trailers slowly there's still some pretty bad clipping, but that's pretty inherent to a system this large.

You know what a full stop means? Did you see the season pass, as soon as it was revealed, to include 3 characters + a bonus one when it was revealed at E3? Did you see how Tira was called several times, a bonus character for people with the season pass?

I know you're pissed, but you seem to be purposely misinterpreting the information to make it look worse than it is, no one here is happy about it and you can say it is a moral standing, but Soul Calibur is not a series that can afford to not play by the cards set by giants like Tekken and Street Fighter, or even a more recent example in Dragon Ball fighters.

If you want some perspective, Street Fighter V took a year to sell 2.5 copies, Nioh a new IP sold 2M in a one year lapse.

Now look at a maximum income IP Call of Duty: WWII sold 10 Million copies, do you see how much a game like Calibur needs that to make some money? Fighting game IPs are niche as they come and Calibur is the closest thing to a "niche mainstream" game, it has a name and a legacy, but it sells around 1.5M.
This is so not a guarantee. There's plenty of companies that try shit like this and it bites them in the ass. If you want a popular example look at EA with battlefront 2 or if you want a "Small guy who can't play by bigger guys rules" example, look at the utter shitstorm that was Evolve.

This is the first SC in forever and it looks like it's got huge potential, but it's going to suck if they wind up yet again with a short lived community because they fuck something new up and make sure no one plays because of a all the bad press they're going to get for stupid shit like this.
 
That tweet= Scorpion as DLC guest?

It seems strange to me this series only really has one “sensible” ninja type. Setsuka doesn’t even count and Yoshi is kind of over the top with goofiness.

PS: So we may finally have the monster voices? I think humans should have some too.
 
I don't think they hate him, it's just that most people's first entry into the Soul series was Soul Calibur II. I think that's why OG characters like Hwang, Li Long, and Rock are not as popular.

Then Why Rock is in SCIII and SCIV? Why is he comes back, but not Hwang? Hwang is connected with more characters then Rock. Then, maybe its something else?
 
I'm just amused by the responses.

Fucking REKT
Didn't both MKX and Injustice 2 had pre-realese DLC and not even just one, Injustice 2 had the whole pack revealed per-realese if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah. Someone said they released Red Hood before the game launched, and he responded with a 'Nope' only to get a screenshot proving him wrong.
 
Yeah it makes sense to reveal launch day dlc a decent bit before release, people should know what exactly the immediate content is in the season pass if they want us to pre-order it. If they waited until a week before release only to go "lol its Dampierre again!" there'd be a lot of annoyance from early pre-order folks who may be too late to cancel.

Showing DLC when there's still a whole bunch of characters left in the base game though is another matter. Keeping a couple as later reveals after showing dlc sure but 6+ base game characters unknown despite knowing the first DLC seems a bit much.

yoooooooo. crazy thought

2 story modes. bosses for each.

inferno gets regular story mode. (probably arcade boss too)

weird sorcerer dude gets Libra of Story Mode.
 
I just realized skeletons are their own base skin. I'm really sad now, say bye bye to all my hexed boney hand chest spine and teeth sporting OC's. D:
 
Who else feels like there might be more than shown with CaS? Hope it has a good theme rather than the snooze fests of IV-V. It doesn’t look like we lost anything,

And I’m surprised Dante tagged me since she always seems to disagree with me. I mean I don’t bite back but whatevs.

I need to take glamour shots though. I hope we can repeat scenes and not have Mitsurugi photobombing them. Also still hoping for Cervantes and Raph just to complete some of my central characters since Sophitia suits my Deuteragonist better than Patroklos who was still better than Pyrrha.

I’m still a little saddened we still can’t choose facial hair.

Me too... I want to put a beard on Siegfried so badly. He looked gorgeous on SCV because of that. Same with Mitsurugi.

And I'm also afraid Cervantes will have on this game that ugly moustache he had on the first SoulCalibur...
