Soul Calibur 6 CaS Discussion

Just out of curiosity, has anyone started planning some of their CaS? I'm... Uh... Asking for a... Friend... Yeah.

I'm going to make Luna and the Klessirpemdo from SoulCalibur III, as I always do, and I'm also planning a Zidane (Final Fantasy IX) to be used with Grøh's style, have had that planned since I saw his Soul Charge, which looks almost exactly like Trance from Final Fantasy IX, along with the weapon both being a twinblade and two swords, it's perfect. I'm going to also attempt to recreate my original characters, which shouldn't be a bother unless critical pieces are missing, but I'm still believing that all the non-1p/2p parts from SoulCalibur V are making it back in, until I see that that isn't true. I'll also have to recreate my Rita (Tales of Vesperia), as she's my ace and my favorite CaS from SoulCalibur V, the one I put the most work into and the one I'm most proud of.
 
I've started planning out my main OC for SC, and I think I'd have the parts to make her if Tira's costume is available for CaS. The other OCs I haven't even begun to plot out how they'll appear in this game.
 
I'll certainly be making setsuka with Groh's fighting style. Pretty sure all the parts I used to make her in V are in VI.

Taking it a step further I'll probably make some malfested alts for the main cast which unfortunately means using a different face and voice, but everything else should be there (hairstyles, equipment etc). This would be based on my own imagining of alternative universes / timeliness. For instance a malfested taki with the glowing red eyes and dull skin tone, damaged body suit in black colour with maybe white or red hair, with some other trinkets for that evil edge, so it stands out from the main character but you can still tell who it is.
 
Oh man if they don't actually have more CAS pieces than what we've seen in the base game... I already bought the deluxe edition to get everything but it's not looking too good. People who have played the game keep saying how you unlock new weapons in Libra of Souls. If you would unlock actual armor pieces then you'd think at least one would have mentioned that as well.

The amount of parts seem very low currently. I'd prefer (obviously) to have substantially more than in the last game before DLC. Also some parts will be unusable because they have extreme levels of floating going on so that makes the list even shorter.

Most of the parts seem ported from SCV so it's weird that they didn't just port them all. Sorry for the negativity guys, but this close to launch, with so many people having touched the game, I think what we see is what we'll get.

All in all doesn't seem too much of an improvement over SCV CAS since there will propably be a lot of missing good stuff, and the races seem pretty lacklustre in the amount of customization they have going on, with some races having arbitrary limits that normal humans don't have, and I suspect the lizard man race will get really samey since there doesn't seem to be any major customization available for it.

You could compensate by having a lot more sticker slots or item slots, but it seems as limited as SCV in that regard, which is weird since that game was on last generation consoles. I guess they just basically ported the creation tool as-is aside from race selection.
 
We haven’t even seen the actual base game though. Just the preview copy handed out for promotional purposes. One of the videos already stated that what we’ve seen isn’t representative of all the parts available lol

I have already discarded such optimism to prepare myself for the (seemingly) inevitable.
 
I have gigantic list written down with my OCs and styles. For some, I'm unsure what style to pick. A lot of ones I made previously had Viola's style for the female grace and magic. I think Azwel's style will look derpy on them with the wrestling moves he has.
At least I might be able to avoid the 'same face' issues I suffered from; more than a couple actually look useable this time. Also, I'm glad they added a few more voices. But in the spirit of Nightmare: I NEED MORE!

I'm worried about the amount of clothing choices, too. I burnt myself out with SCV's, I'd get no where with less.
 
Funny how I significantly change my protagonist every iteration from Iron Sword, Mitsurugi, Taki, Xiba, and now Cervantes.

Settled for the dual wielding swordsman/assassin.
 
Personally I'm getting worried I won't be able to make many characters cause all the ears and stuff like elf ears are now inherent and thus likely not adjustable. Which will mean it will be impossible to make goblinoids...

Will be hilariously disappointing if having races ends up resulting in being able to build fewer races.

Would also be nice if the lizards could have male or female voices. Know at least two characters missing out from lack of that.
 
For me, I need the Bong-Seong Circlet and Hip Skirt. Want the Duelist’s Jacket, the Cowboy Hat, and more masks.

Hope Long Leather Coat goes with Raphael’s outfit. I really love his new look because of my waistcoat fetish. I’d wear them more if it wasn’t for the Florida heat and need to drop some pounds.
 
We really need the dev team to give us basic materials as texture options for different pieces, and even different portions of said pieces like WWE2k18. Should be simple to give something like that as a pattern, since they already do have a few patterns which changes the bump mapping in SCV. They'd only have to do more of those but with stuff like silk, steel, leather, carbon fiber, velour. Hell, toss in the light and blacklight as well so we could make our own glowing patterns and stuff. I think that would be the one biggest and most simple thing they could do as the system is now. Hell, who knows if we can mod that in ourselves by replacing some existing patterns with a custom texture if the mod tools get good enough. I love this feature in WWE games but I can't be arsed to play wrestling games.
 
I can’t wait to make some OCs in this. I never made Luna and Abelia before but I think I’ll make some old characters now. I really really want Violas 2p and some 1ps from Sc4. I made many characters with violas style but have some awesome styles like Zas and Gerald, I’ll make some new ones. I really wish we could have changed the gifting stances, like X to not be jumping in her or Azeri to actually stand like a wizard and not like he as a wedgie.

Almost curious if anyone’s drawn their customs. Can’t wait to see your OCs. And maybe their stories.

I totally would if I had any drawing skills. To able to put down the actual concepts I have without the limits CaS has would be nice and help keep the designs I have in mind organized. Heck I never really made my main custom's SCIII 1p (at least the idea I had for her 1p) until recently, and even then I had to make a lot of compromises (using a miniskirt because there were no shorts options in SCIII). Don't take what I'm saying as being down on the CaS system though. I enjoy figuring out how make these designs with what we have and still have them come out cohesive (though I'm still worried about the item count for this game).
