Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

Literally every girl in the game has been sexualised in some way or another so far lol. Maybe except for Xianghua. They couldn't care less if every woman in this game has their bare tits out.
Hilde? Plus in general, SoulCalibur V toned this ideal down a lot, and designs were a lot less sexualized.
 
You know... now that i think back on it, i never once tried Rock's moveset on a female CAS to see how that would look/feel. Nor do i recall ever running into one online. Fighting Rock was rare enough as it is.
Considering Astaroth has a good portion of Rock's moves and the fact Ashlotte uses Astaroth's moveset that would be the closest you would get to female with a large club providing you played SC4.
 
Dark skinned warrior?

You know what would be next level?

Not only do they make a mimic for the roster (Inferno, Edgemaster whoever) but allow you to make your OWN mimic through CaS AND let you choose who you want to copy from. So if you just want to switch from say Kilik and Maxi you got it.

Just a thought. Next level thinking
 
Considering who gave them the idea for a muscular dark-skinned female character, I'm glad they never went with her. I'd enjoy having a character with that description on the roster, but not one inspired by a hentai artist. God knows what kinda dumpster fire of a design she'd get.
I would have to disagree, because quite a few anime, manga, and game art have been designed by hentai artists. The Shining Series games had it's art done by Tony Taka, a well-known hentai artist. Shunya Yamashita is another hentai artist, who illustrated the character art for Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria (who ALSO did the bonus art for Tekken: Tag Tournament 2). The character mentioned by this 23_real_xxiii artist looks good, but she comes off as 'tanned,' not really "dark skinned." I'm not sure I'd want the proposed dark-skinned female to look anything like that. And in regards of her being muscular, I don't think they would make her a super-buff character. They might make her about a muscular as Taki (has anyone noticed her muscle definition? 0_o). imo Menat from StreetFighter V gives a better idea how to make a darkskin character
I like the middle one too, very Dracula.

It reminds me of the Lords of Shadow Dracula

Unfortunately, Pirotess looks just like a dark skinned caucasian woman, hairstyle and clothing included (I know she is an elf). She doesnt look like a poc and including anyone similar to her in the roster would be a waste of opportunity to include more variety with someone ethnic and appropriate for the setting and would additionally probably be seen as offensive.
Japanese artists seem to follow their own art style. There is no emphasis on ethical detail like you'd see from western artists. imo, I don't even think they need to. Not all ethnic people look one way, anyway

Won't lie, she would be my main, if she looked like that

I'd believe that Rock died when his soul was drained by the Grand Priest to produce Astaroth, rather than to see a dark skinned big muscled female character be in the game. If she is in the game and to be formally alledged the replacer of Rock, I'd go to Japan to tear Okubo's soul into pieces.

This is poorly worded....
 
You can get lean and not bulky

Another fine example is Brittne Babe on Youtube

Sorry for the kinda off-topic. But well, I believe it was needed for clarification.

Those are all runners. You'll want to look more into MMA, Wrestling, or some kind of sports like hurling or something that requires a lot of upper body strength as well to get a more proper build. I don't think anyone wants a character who's specialization is running away really really fast.
 
I definitely don't want to see another lean female character. I hate that Capcom is the only dev that actually understands that powerful women tend to be bulky and muscular. Not to the same degree of men of the same relative fitness of course, but definitely considerably more than the barbie dolls in any fighting game not called Street Fighter.
 
I spoke only with regard to SCVI.
Oh, I see. If we do get Hilde, I would be massively surprised if she was sexualized, though, given her track record. But you say Xianghua isn't, however historically speaking, she usually wears pants in her 1p. For it to be a short skirt this time is a bit sexualizing. Cassandra probably would be, though, she's got a history of being sexualized beyod her SoulCalibur II 1p. Setsuka most assuredly would be, though I still prefer the elegant design of her SoulCalibur III 2p.

Yeah because Japanese people tend to make females look very similar to eachother all the time to adhere to their beauty standard. I would consider that being closed minded rather than an artistic choice but whatever. Not all women look one way, anyway.

I mean, what lean female character do we even have in SoulCalibur? The only character remotely close to that is Taki and I doubt most people see her that way. The dark skin girl doesn't even need to be huge.; just have some muscle definition lol
 
If very few people would pay for rock as a dlc, just make him like a free add on you can download. I can't think of many people who would say no to that. I'd like him to be differentiated, so long as he has different looking throw animations compared to Asta that's good enough for me personally.
