Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

Seong Mina looks so cute in this game, I might have to start playing her

Did i see that right, you can't change the face of the max malfested?
I hope that's only on him, and we don't get 12 faces in total, i'm a bit worried, that the races are actually a limitation in disguise, i hope i'm wrong.
 
I love how Mi-na's outfit basicly changes into a 2p with the high and mid armor breaks, especially the short hair is a really nice touch. She's one of the few who looks better after mid armor breaks. That cape thing is kinda weird.
It would be perfect if I didn't hate her top so much, which sucks because if I want to change it, it's fairly likely that she's going to lose her breakable hair, so I would be forced to choose one of the two hair variants to have all the time. I'd probably go short, maybe... but I do like the braid too... you're tearing me apart, Project Soul! But I also love her cape.

Btw what do you guys think about the abundant race selection for creation mode? I am quite surprised they dished out so many races for us to create. I guess it's just a slight model difference but there are so many!
I like the races, but a good number of them aren't "new", really, just like permanent custom parts. But it's still pretty cool, because it just enhances the creativity possibilities even further, if you were going to use those custom parts anyway, you'll get even more free slots to make the customization even deeper. I'm a bit put off that some seem to be male-only, because I was hoping for female Darksider (though it may actually be in? I'm not entirely sure -- my assumption would be it would ask gender when you pick race but maybe not?), but regardless, I'm sure I'll have a good amount of fun with them.

humans were confirmed to have multiple faces awhile ago, i'd say that extends to all the normal humanoids (angel, devil, furry, elf, normal malfested, and maybe malfested mutated) anything else is up in the air. Although lizard, mummy, skelly, maleific, shapeshifter are most likely all sameface.
 
CaS kind of scares me; will eSports players be allowed to use their funky creations in tournaments?
CaS has never been allowed in official tournaments. Devil Jin was kind of a bother in this regard for SoulCalibur V, as the only real "fair" option was to make a basic CaS with no parts (so naked) with the style, and that's just not appealing. I thought for sure that when the Jin Tekken parts DLC came out, that they could adapt an "official" Devil Jin of sorts, but that never happened.
 
Tbh Lizarddudes, zombies (aka Malefic), and MaxMalfested kinda make sense at having no gender options.
With first there would be no visual difference between sexes and I doubt they'll record... a more feminine hissing?
With latter two their bodies and minds are so deformed that I doubt that they even have sex/gender at this point.
Also I don't think that there would be race-locked items, reace attributes (wings, horns etco) are more like... unbreakable equipment of sorts I guess, that also doesn't take any space in the equipment slots themselves (probably, or probably they just lock one of the slots with "mandatory race equip" - that would be lame, but it's still possible).

yes because everything mutates into a masculine form all the time every time... Bah. These don't look gender neutral they look full on masculine. The only one of those three you mentioned I accept is the Lizard. So tired of women being mutated into generic masculine forms. It's just lazy.
 
I will certainly agree that it feels a bit disappointing to have any races gender locked. Especially the stage 3 malfested I would have loved to see on a female character, but I never really expected it from the start.
They really don't want female characters to be very grotesque / ugly, which is a little lame. I'd love some more monstrous female characters.
 
the only thing I don't agree with is saying "Fuck okubo, we don't owe him anything"

like that's a bit reductive, we literally owe him for the existence of SC6 at this point considering he IS the reason it is even coming out.
That statement was probably a really bad way to word what i was trying to say. My last post about appreciating Okubo but not wanting to be told to eat Bamco's shit for Okubo makes it much clearer that I do respect his work and will be buying the game in large part due to his contributions, but that doesn't mean I forgive Bamco's meddling in the game's business practices such as putting the DLC on the CSS and Tira being on-disc DLC and I'd be willing to drop the game if it crossed a line, regardless of Okubo's help.
 
Is why I voted Malefic... seemed to me we'd get more clarity with that option.
Same reason I voted Darksider, really. I don't really see myself making any Malefic, but I would absolutely make a Darksider or a few, depending on how customization they are.

It's not really a "solution", but for "fairness", they could have had a race or two that were female-only, for the sake of argument. I don't want any limitation, to be completely clear, but if they were going to have some male-only, may as well achieve a balance, you know?

I'd also like to see for example if there are even male automatons. I hope so, but I'm actually not so sure.
