Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

I really hope they'll include all pieces of equipment of SC3-4-5 as part of CaS. They must give as the chance to recreate (for example); a SC3 Sieg 2P costumes, a SC4 Ivy's 2P costume, a SC5 Yoshi's 1P costume etc...
I don't think going as far as SC3 is feasible, the upscaling would take a lot of time.
I would be very happy if they added all character costumes from past games via the CaS DLC, or at least the ones of the character in the roster.
More likely, part of the "throwback" will be composed of V's costumes.

I will say this much tough, if _all_ SCV armor is in the game, including character costumes, that would be _great_ for the game post launch sales.
 
Just noticed that one. I think we should be glad the series is back with the iconic characters. I hope I can enjoy Libra though.

If DLC takes slots, then what the hell are those glowy bits for?

I thought this would be an apology for SCV...

I think, they put a DLC chars on the white point on a side of a roster.

I was thinking it may be like Super smash taunting comments....I really hope it is not like that.. :S
Nah... SC had only one taunt for character (Exept Yoshi), so...
 
Full IGN Interview at Gamescom


5:30 - Cervantes style leak as reported earlier

7:02 - Online battle & 8 player lobby

10:57 - Namco does know the feedback about Tira being a Day 1 DLC Character before the rest of the Base Roster was announced & confirms Tira will have her own Soul Chronicle story when purchased.

Thank you for posting this, it was the type of clarity I needed.

The fact they went out of their way to add her AND give Tira her own story makes me a happy fan.
What puzzles me however is she placed 10th on the character poll they conducted in 2015.
Is it normal to ignore such research data?

But I’m glad I called it.
It seems like she was the character that was added later that pushed the game completion date back.
DLC is a way of paying off her debt.

As for 2p costumes I’m not mad that can easily be forgotten with good character choices.

How many left to reveal for the base roster 3 or 2
I know there are 2 more DLC I’m sure one of them is Setsuka.

I don’t think any remaining slots are Amy if they can treat Tira’s inclusion like this being she supported the main antagonist three games and placing 10th on the popularity poll.
It’s looking bad for Amy....
 
Never mind Yun or Hwang, what we need is Han-myeong.
But will he play more like Hwang or Yun-Seong? I wouldn't mind Han-myeong if he played closer to Hwang though lol. In fact, I wouldn't mind it if Assassin came back if it's similar to how he played in SoulCalibur II.

4 characters on the left main roster because of the IGN leak of Cervantes' style & Azwel in the Libra of Souls.

I have that feeling Setsuka might be DLC too.

I'm just going with Hayate's latest video because he been reliable like Vergeben.

Well she placed what 13th, but yeah.. There was not a single time since the game announcement it looked even a bit good for her, even with a 2nd season pass...

I don't think they put Tira as a DLC because they "thought she wasn't that important" that's just trying to calm down people, do you really expect them to say, yeah we put her as a pre-order dlc because we knew she was popular and would help us sell that Season Pass.
Just like Tekken Anna and Lei will alone sell hundreds of Seasons passes same goes here. So yeah I'm not buying their story at all.

As for the little dots on the sides of character select screen are just there for decoration until proven wrong, it would be cool if it was season pass 1 and season pass 2 but I don't think so, especially If Tira already take one spot on that select careen.
 
No. They chose her as DLC precisely because she is popular. They want the DLC to sell.

Well from the video you quoted they didn’t have much of a choice but to add her as DLC, it just turns out it was also a good way of making the season pass desirable.
Being produced So late into production I’m guessing her part isn’t going to be a well fleshed out story.
It could be an origins story or a miscellaneous conclusion to SC6 events all of which sticks out like a soar thumb as far as the base game.

I think it’s a quality of quantity situation.

They focused as much as they could on SC1 and 2 but realised they couldn’t leave out Tira as she’s important from SC3 onwards and is a popular character.
I don’t think Tira’s entire inclusion was based on money.
But an opportunity to make some was apparent.

Why do you think they included Zasalamel? Because he is popular because he will fit well in the SC1 and SC2 era, or because he had an unique weapon and they are trying to make as many different characters as possible. It's definetly money.
We knew about the season pass for soooo long. Someone had to be the pre-order character, even Vege said at some point that Zas was supposed to be that character.
It's not like they suddenly decided to add 1 character to the season pass and say that was Tira because they just saw how popular she was and how many people were asking for her. XD
I'm not buying it, DLC is DLC and Bamco just want to make money, not that there's anything wrong with it.
 
Zas is in because he seems to be important to Libra and missed V.

Can't complain, get to hear Keith Silverstein's mancrushable voice in the mode I'll probably spend most time in if he does have more narrative roles for that.
 
I thought this would be an apology for SCV...

At some point i think people need to acknowledge what all this single player content and CAS options will amount to and how this affects the rest of the game. Consider the fact every other fighting game doesn't come anywhere close to the options availabe in SC.

What do you think the development teams for all these other fighting games spend their time doing? Are they all lazy while PS is the only busy team actually working hard? Obviously not. They are busy making a good size roster of diverse characters. With a good amount of them being new. If a development studio has so many resources, budget and time to work on a game, and people are making absurd demands well... the tax has got to come from somewhere.
 
Swords & Shields
Sophie x Cassie_SandS.jpg

Xi Sword & Game Shield is on the side of Soul Edge, well, I think you already know...
Pyrrha x Patroklos_SandS.png
Apparently Sophitia will use some weapons from Pyrrha like in SC: Lost Swords

To be fair, Injustice 2 kind of did away with alts in favor for customization. Granted it’s not SC or even Tekken levels, but if it’s gonna help you sleep at night...

So we have the wizard, Cervantes, and possibly Aeon or even Cassandra to wait for.
 
GUYSSSS!!!!!!!!

I honestly can't believe I was the only eagle eyed fan to notice the other detail in that vid. Everyone was so focused on Cervantes, that they didn't realize the CaS girl who fought with Taki's moveset had CASSANDRA'S 2P hairstyle from IV.

I'm on my phone so I don't have pics, but go rewatch it! It could just mean that all hairstyles from IV will be back, or it could mean more!

I'm actually pretty sure it's Short Bob Cut, which was Seong Mi-na's 2p hairstyle from IV. Which was also in V.

Nevermind, I missed the part where you said Taki's moveset. I thought you meant we were looking at Cervantes and not the player character.
