Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

Magic knight outfit here I come

Oh... no... (read it in Jonathan Joestar's voice)

Spoiler: Watch at your own peril.

It would look pretty awesome if it wasn't put on a basically nude character. It was their choice to advertise it this way (probably for fanservise, probably to show off only the armor, so nobody would ask "is this a part of the set too") - don't make the way they showed it off blind you. Combined with some proper clothing some parts of this set could actually look very nice. You can make almost any armor look skimpy if you'll put it on a naked character.
So, yeah, I still want everything from LS to be added to SCVI.

Tira been done dude.

Of course she was at least 75% done, how else would they make a trailer for her that consists only of gameplay footage if she wasn't, lol.
But that doesn't cancel out a possibility that she still wasn't made with "main budget" though and despite being made by the time limits of the "main/base game", she doesn't fit in money limits of "base game".

I was just thinking,.. Whenever future tournaments are held on SCVI it certainly won't be the PC version and less likely to be XB1, right? So we would have to take along our arcade stick for the PS4? I know some PC arcade sticks will probably work on PS4 too.

Mmm... I see that reversal edge is R1/RB.

Possibility to set this to other button you think please ?
We will be able to swap all buttons at release ?
And... can we assign a button for example to L3/R3 (pushing sticks) please ?

I ask because in some games, all buttons/functions can be swapped except for example just a specific one. (And i ask because i'm disabled too.)

I just noticed watching controller layout that i even don't know what is break attack. So it's no more just guard... Oh so many buttons lol. Ideally, i would like to set hum...

L1 = guard
L2 = reversal edge
R2 = critical edge
R1 = none
L3 pushing stick or A = break
R3 or L3 pushing stick = throw

How are we supposed to do A + B with these controls?

L1 + B ?

... If A is guard and B is kick
L1 guard
L1 + B

Manually.
Even though in all SC games all buttons usually can be swapped, there is still not enough buttons to cover all combinations, so you would still have to choose which one you're more comfortable doing manually.

That's right i forgot about that... Thanks ! ^^

I'll probably just do some combinations manually.
Or set custom controller config in Steam big picture mode. (If it can overpass in-game config and doesn't trigger online ban.)

Ah, I didn't think about big picture, that might expand my options a bit! If I could bind RE to the PS4 touchpad or something, I think that would be my ideal setup.

People are so negative lol. Games have done it before where they have let people test paid content. I can think of another Bamco product, Gundam Vs, where before DLC was made available, there were modes in the game that you could test out those mobile suits. It's to entice you to buy it. It shows they're confident in the product. SCVI is so freely dispersing info and giving people what they want that people have to find a way to spin it negatively lol. Y'all live in such a pessimistic world.

 

[Ramus]

You're all acting as if the DLC didn't need to be ready before day one, when the production team say they can't add something at base, do yourself a favor and translate it as "Higher ups didn't give us the budget, so we had to use the DLC budget". If tomorrow Bamco gave them extra budget to make a bonus character to take Tira's place in the season pass, people would still bitch.

No. Break Attacks are the generic ones like Taki Bomb, which is A+B so L1 = A+B

You guys are over thinking this cause Break Attack = A+B

 

[squidgy617]

Oh, thank you.

 

[Kiwi]

Yes so i'll do A + B break attack manually and set guard to L1.
Oooh i'm puzzled but in the end, it will probably solve itself while in-game (or just using big picture) ! :p

Thanks for the answers, especially the one remembering about manual combinations that helped me a lot !

(edit : i just checked we can set command or combination to L3 or R3 in last Tekken. I hope Bamco will use same system in SC6. Otherwise there is still big picture at worst !)

dead or alive 5 also used to allow you to play as a dlc character for free, alternating between them (so long as they weren't guests) while they were still churning out new ones pre-Last Round.

 

[SSfox]

Still hard to realize we'll be able to test the game next week. Like mitsu would say:" Ora ora, Oraaaaaaaaaaaa"

I suggest it's gonna be like most fighting games where you can practice while waiting for online matches.

Wasn't that only present in the FTP version?

 

[AndyrooSC]

but...but....where is English version of game modes trailer :'(

 

[Ave]

Of Last Round, that was their whole business model, but on last gen, doa5 and doa5 ultimate were games you paid for and they put out dlc characters, one of which you could play for free in the offline modes every week or so

 

[Noirsov]

Could somebody please explain to me what I need to do beforehand to be in a position where I can play the beta next weekend? I've never owned a PS4 or XB1 before, so I have to go out and buy/hire them.
*Do I need to look for any particular version of the consoles?
*What online service do I need to sign up to and does it cost?
*I just plug in the ethernet cable from my router to the console right?

Yes. I just got my Xbox one s. Most of the time it comes with a trial for Xbox live gold. I got mi es used so I just bought the year subscription. It’s like $10 for a month , $24 for 3 months and $60 for a year. PS4 works the same way. So it’s pretty much a preference thing.

For the connection. You can do Ethernet cable or WiFi. I did WiFi since my router is in another room and it works just as well. Good luck!

I advise you not to use WiFi for playing online games!

Me after reading the last few pages, only whiter, less muscular and less manly.
