8WR Users: Casuals will demand X, Y, and Z or the game will be a failure!

Actual Casuals: Soul Calibur is such a cool character! He wears shiny blue armor and his sword has an eye!
 
Is anyone else disappointed about how bad the websites are for NA and UK for the Soul Calibur websites...I mean the last article posted on the NA website is from July 20th, the Tira video is the last video shared, the last announcement is Geralt joining, features include a very brief sentence of unreal engine, new battle mechanics, multiple fighting styles, and dynamic battles and best of all they haven't updated the release date so it still says coming soon. The EU website at least has the Azwel video and a release date but is pretty bad as well. The Japanese website is much much better.
 
The websites for NA and EU are shite compared to the JP website. I think it's sad. :( I think this happened with SCV as well, if I remember correctly.
What is so hard about translating info and keeping it up to date? :/
 
There are eight SC6 setups on the PAX show floor. There's been a long line, but it's been moving quickly. Plus, you get to watch some SC6 gameplay while waiting, so it's not a bad wait at all. It's a great place to be.

My only complaint is that all the setups have arcade sticks with the button layout:
AB
GK

Not to get too judgmental or anything, but if that's your preferred way to play SoulCalibur, you're a criminal who belongs in jail. And button remapping isn't really allowed, since there are displays everywhere telling new players what the buttons do. My mind is very slowly adjusting to this madness.
No doubt...who else here uses thumb-guard...
 
Still want Tira battle comments lol

Here they are

"Tira is an irregular type character with two different fighting styles (side) due to a unique movement using a circular blade and a double personality. It is the characteristic of Tira that the two personalities "Jolly" and "Gloomy" will switch over when certain conditions are satisfied, and the composition of the technique changes dramatically.

A tactic that fogs at a stroke with a superior "gloomy" on the attack surface is powerful, but since the character changes to a whim, it is difficult to control and practice is necessary. In addition, "SCVI" demonstrates the hidden power by repeatedly crossing two personality. A strategic side change will be a shortcut for victory."

It's been like this for as long as I can remember.

I still remember Project Soul's INSANE SCIII website. Damn, it even had some of the game's main menu sound effects.
 
Tira's battle director comment has me even more interested in her. Already enjoyed her, but with the way they're doing things, I wonder how different the technically 2 different fighting styles will be between her personalities. For that matter, I remember something on a SC page saying something about awakening a true personality? I wonder if that means it's a random chance or a way to force entry into a 3rd personality with its own unique moves and such by the way that sounds. Couldn't be more curious to learn her than I am now.

The need for this game and to learn more about everyone grows ever stronger by the day.

Oh you're here? Would love to meet. I did see two local FGC people remapping buttons at their setup lol. No Fs given. I don't mind that button layout though.

Anyway don't expect any reveals. The tournament showcase is Sunday, as well as an exhibition between Floe and Justin Wong.

Also, all the cosplayers are here if you want pictures! Sophitia, Taki, Talim, and Sieg.

Build is E3.

Game is beautiful, plays beautiful. However, the screens are too large to be that close and I almost had a seizure.

I'm a believer. :sc2rap1:

I wonder, is that Raph's 1P or 2P? The colour scheme looks so different from his previous ones.
 
Credits to the awesome Aaron Borg that posted this at SOULCALIBUR Competitive Players on Facebook.

He said it's from Melbourne Esports build. Looks fucking real
Cervantes's design is pretty good, Raphael's is fucking amazing apart from the eyepiece which ruins the entire thing and makes him look like a twot. I sure as fuck hope this is fake because that design for him really sucks balls, but would be perfect without that eyepiece. Personally, I'm not buying it. something about the image just feels off to me, something about the characters feels a bit unpolished and I doubt they'll be releasing any more demo builds. What the fuck is up with all the dotted lines and mini white circles replacing slots? I pray this is fake just because my boi raphael deserves better.
 
I guess that's what the game's gonna look like when you first load it up. Looks like those small circles are characters you unlock after playing certain mode(s)? Hmmm... but that wouldn't make sense since Azwel is there azwell. (sorry...)

A It's kind of strange where those small slots are placed now. Extremely strange too how that slot on the upper left is now a tiny slot..


WIAT..

4 smalls slots


no tira
