Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

T7 is adding a guest that literally did one thing with a bat.

See, now that was my first thought when i saw it but then after a while i thought probably what they will do is give him a few improvised style weapons that appear on the show even if he doesnt actually use them. Such as molotov cocktails or one of the rifles or something. Maybe split up Lucille into a separate "stance" for all of its attacks. Have random Zombies that show up here and there. Jill did something like that in MvC2. Point is in his case, i dont think he'll just be swinging a bat and i havent seen the latest season yet but i'll bet there are instances on the show where he is using something else on some occasions.
 
Left field guest: if there is indeed a new Samurai Shodown being announced, Nakoruru could be a good guest. Her usage of her hawk is something that hasn’t really been in SC I suppose...

Otherwise I think Yuri from Tales of Vesperia may be the other guest.

FF7 remake is on the way. I think we're getting Sephiroth and Cloud

I don't think a game coming a decade from now is really considered 'on the way'. I also don't think there is any chance in hell we would get Cloud considering his roster status in Smash. Kingdom Hearts is Square's next big title and could bring a ton of people to Soul Calibur...but I don't think Kingdom Hearts would fit at all or even be possible with Soul Calibur's style. They have to go for something more realistic which leaves dark souls, nioh, nier, a fighting game crossover (darkstalkers, samurai showdown, or something similar), something surprising (they might know a TGS announcement that we don't), game of thrones (god I hope not never cared for it and it doesn't really fit to make an interesting character).

As far as the guest character goes I would be more than happy and prefer it if we didn't get a guest character in the season pass and they made the dlc all three returning characters. The guest character could be sold separately or be included as a bonus in the season pass...oh wait.

Although i would like Vergil, i'm afraid he as well as Sephiroth and Cloud would have too much overlap with Mitsu's and Siegfried/Nightmare's style.
I would like to be proven wrong, though.

Vergil I believe would play more like Setsuka mixed with Groh than Mitsurugi. Basically lots of Iaidō moves, plus fancy magic on top with teleports, dimensional cuts and weapon projections.

I think having vergil using yamato, beowolf, and force edge would make his style unique enough. summon swords should be relegated to unblockables and CE, his SC would be devil trigger with a more yamato focused moveset.
 
This is driving me crazy. We were getting pretty consistent updates all throughout August in the form of interviews, tweets, teases and reveals, but ever since that leak Bamco has gone silent in regards to SCVI. I think I might fall into a deep depression before TGS if this keeps up.

There you go. Best option from that series right there for the exact reason you gave. Everyone else will just feel like Mitsurugi or Setsuka and be a waste.

Unfortunately they wont go with that because i dont think a lot of people care about that series.
 
What if this second guest is Link who they'll announce once a switch version is announced?

...............and hopefully Red XII for the Yoda/Gon size.

I really hope we don't get a character that is immune to throws and high attacks ever again :/

And speaking of Tekken, i'm still hoping for Kunimitsu in Soul Calibur, as she, like Yoshimitsu, fits Soul Calibur better than Tekken anyway in my opinion.
Although style overlap with Taki could be a problem... and yes i really do like Ninjas xD

Edit: The style overlap is even worse than i thought...

Which is probably why they haven't bothered other than making the outfit available.

Ogre's a better choice.

I doubt any of use will live to see the day when Nintendo allows one of their characters be playable on anything other than a Nintendo console. If Link was to be a guest in a Switch port, you can bet he would only be playable on switch. Nintendo is like the Apple of gaming in that regard.

You mean Yoda or Kunimitsu?
There was a fox mask in CaS at some point iirc, do you mean that?

Edit:
Ok i just looked at Kunimitsu's TT2 command list, and the amount of shared moves with Taki and Yoshimitsu is ridiculous o.O
Then i guess i take my request back, as she would probably not add that much to the game lol.

Is it confirmed that the guest will be from a different game than the witcher?

It's not even confirmed that there will definitely be a 2nd guest. For all we know they could just be keeping their options open for the future, or maybe they have deals in the works that may or may not pan out. They use a lot of "wait and see" answers that people take as confirmation when really they're just dodging the question.

But it wouldn't make sense to double dip into the same franchise cause you've already brought in all the Witcher fans you're gonna get.

Sure, kung fu dragons, that's what we need. Would be overjoyed if we got Nakoruru though.

Well in Ogre's case the way i would handle his moveset might be a bit different than Tekken. First off i would use the snakes as a sort of partial True Ogre transformation on individual attacks, similar to what Algol does i suppose. I'm not put off by martial arts in SC. That had to exist from a long time ago in history as a concept.

Nakoruru is quite literally the best idea possible in terms of relatability and possible moveset. Her abilities are not to ridiculous to where she has to be stripped and gutted as a character in order to work. If anything she would be slightly upgraded in that regard for this game making her fans excited to see her play. The bird "gimmic" is a very simple mechanic idea that has not yet been explored in this game but allows some interesting flight attack options. She hits like... a perfect sweet spot.

Definitely not popular however.

Kunimitsu, pretty sure you could make the whole outfit.
