Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

So many new things O_o and they haven't even done any announcements yet!

I'll get the fangirling out of the way first: Raphael screaming "AMY!" when low on health and attacking is just such a sweet detail, and it's nice to hear his start and end of battle dialogues referencing her are still in (though I agree they sound reused).

Awesome to see Hwang and Lizzie and Edge Master in the story mode and it leads me to think that we'll probably see most if not all of the classic characters, even if they're not playable, but with one of the Lizardmen apparently using his SCI moveset, it looks more promising for them to be playable too, even if it is future DLC. If Inferno is confirmed to fight like Nightmare/Night Terror, it's safe to say he is NOT the mimic for this game, which means Edge Master is likely unlockable.

Something I noticed that I don't think has been mentioned yet: Astral Chaos seems to have some unique properties that I can't figure out. The blue ring around the edge is preventing ring outs obviously, but it seems to be breakable and changes colour when certain attacks land near it. I have no idea what it means yet.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeelll... to be honest, he looks EXACTLY like he did in SC3. Which makes me think that he's CaS. If he really is in the game, you'd think they'd give him a redesign.

Also, Cassandra is in Sophitia's story, do you all think she's in the game too?

I could see either scenario with Hwang. The fact he hasn't been redesigned could mean that they didn't intend for him to be playable in the game, but I could also see them wanting to appeal to Hwang fans by having him exactly how he was in SC1.

I'm curious to see Cassandra's story portrait. I wonder if they redesigned her or went with one of her earlier designs, like SC2.
 
So it looks like the Lizardman style is the biggest mystery right now.

If Inferno did have a Nightmare base instead of being a mimic, still hope he has some Cervantes moves.
 
This recent information gave me a little hope for more unlockeable characters beside Inferno.. And it's cool to see Inferno with his own move set (But we don't know if this boss move set is going to be playable yet).
But a bit of shame to see Tira already in this games verison if it is really true, before all the talk about her being day 1 dlc because they couldn't end her in time, and put her in disc anyway.

No one has some info/pics or videos about Sophitia story mode? I'm curious to see how Cassandra art and design are presented in the game...
 
Ya'll are seriously excited for this Inferno/Night Terror bullshit with the high possibility of Edgemaster being the mimic?

They could have very easily just made Inferno the only mimic and used the extra time and resources to make another character or something.
 
About Lizardman, we have little info about this... But I don't think it will have a unique moveset like before if he is already in the game. My guess it that will be a mix of Sophitia moves, with some oh his own... Even the position of his weapons are tha same as Sophitia, when he is supposed to be left handed.

Another guess would be that they put an incomplete version of Lizardman only to be fought in arcade/story modes, and maybe launch a complete playable version as DLC like Tanya in MK, or just stay as to be fought like Rain did in the same MK.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, Inferno having Night Terror movelist and not being a mimic, technically, DOES make him another character.
 
Unlockable characters have been a feature of the series for a long time. Comparing SCVI against past games, it would be a surprise if the only unlockable character was a mimic.

Then again, 2P outfits have been a staple of the series for just as long, and that feature was taken out. SCVI seems totally fine with breaking the status quo and doing things differently, so really all you can say is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Inferno being Nightmare but better and with more moves would be lame, it would simply make Nightmare obsolete, which is not good. I hope Inferno is still a regular mimic outside of Story Mode.

Or he could just be different, like Abyss and Zasalamel in 3, arguably Zas was the better one even. We'll have to wait and see the full list to decide, right?
