Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

Thank goodness the final part of that website was shown now I don't have to stare at coming soon forever like on the North American website.
 
Ranked match is expected. I just hope has a better system than SCV's. A1 meant jackshit. It just meant players grinded Rank a lot and some were lousy players

Casual Match sounds like it was renamed from Player Match, but can make a lobby with with 8 players. Damn, sometimes 6 players seemed like too much, now its 8? LOL. I'm also interested to know why it's named "Casual." My guess is it allows CaS, but Ranked won't, which is fine with me.

No Global Colossem, but I won't miss that. I started to hate some of the players in there and stopped going altogether.

With replay, it may work like SCV's, but this gen of consoles can already record footage easily. More options, I guess.

I can't wait to hop online
Why do you think ranked wont allow CAS?
 
Yeah I think some of you are making these custom lines seem way more complicated than it actually is. It's pretty simple to record a selection of lines for each voice and let you choose when those lines appear.

Even for the reused voices it's simply a matter of putting each line they could say in a big list and letting players choose what goes where.
 
In regards to this voice thing, notice a semi-interesting thing in one of the Libra of Soul videos, where Maxi says "I'm impressed" with subtitles in the middle of battle.


Later on, Groh begins a battle with "Your existence is a danger", and when his health reaches the halfway point, he says, "I'm not going to win like this." Both subtitled like the above.


Why do you think ranked wont allow CAS?

Size differences make some matchups wonky, plus people are still able to put a bunch of floating items around their characters, obscuring their movements. I ran into that several times in SCV and it was pretty terrible.

In short, it's because customizations can be weaponized.

If you played the beta I imagine it will be like that. You can lose points but can't decrease in rank once you are there but you only can increase rank by winning. I imagine that facing people against one another will be a certain amount from your current rank and not too much higher or lower but it probably will depend on how many people are actually playing. Ranked in the beta paired you with whoever it could.

Also in V I'm pretty sure ranked still allowed CaS (not sure I never used customs in ranked) so no that's not an indicator that ranked won't allow CaS although the mention about size differences is definitely a point for there being no CaS so hopefully you're right. Casual simply means that it's for casual play not that it is simply for casuals. It might mean you want to try and join a lobby with a group of friends or the like...ranked you will be paired up at random (or as random as they can within your rank parameters).

People have been asking to separate CaS from normal characters for years, even during SC4. That's after realizing CaS uses different hitboxes and people can use items to obscure attacks (thunderdrums anyone?). That might not be what they're doing, but for them to call player lobbies "Casual" imo means they might've factored causal aspects of the game, especially CaS

Has this issue still not been fixed in 6?

That would have to include character editing, and by extension probably color editing. Ranked is going to look very boring now. Frankly it isnt as if all of that isnt also just as annoying in player matches anyway.
 
Have you guys not watched the CAS vids out there? The battle comments doesn't list the lines the voice says normally. It lists a ton of generic lines. There's a section for character lines in the list, too. There are 12 pages of 17 lines each (not counting "no comment"), for a grand total of 204 lines. HBTW's video shows them all.

I have a feeling the "I'm impressed" line from Maxi, in the vid Ryuhza pointed out, might be confined to Libra. But Battle comments will more than likely display like that text. Whether it has audio too, like Maxi's, who knows.

Nope. You can change heights, meaning hitboxes and damage will change, just like in SCV

It may be boring to you, but the tournament scene has been using default characters with some color differences, since the beginning. That might be what they factored into making it

Again, this is just speculation

Man... times have changed. I remember when tourney players used to get on this site and laugh at the notion of online being taken seriously in any measure. Basically until you physically showed up at local gatherings, you were just a scrub. I'm not throwing my opinion around here at all im just sayin thats how it was. I've been gone for a while and its just funny to come back and see someone compare online ranked matches with tournament rules.
 
They likely already showed their intended service for Ranked mode in the online beta, where you just picked a character from the menu and went straight to looking for matches. Cuts out the middle man of going straight into character select and each player waiting for the the other to choose their fighter and their preferred stage. Very streamlined if you ask me.
 
OK now i'm finding this intriguing, supposedly 'Cervantes' has to perform 12 gun shots which ever way weather in combo or shooting straight or in air he'll then have access to this combo. whats intriguing is the fact that im hearing other characters have hidden property's as well like 'Tira' for example that she needs 9 gloomy s and she stays gloomy for the rest of the match. Maxi's stance flashes aren't actual jfs but a sign towards his seven stars rebirth mechanic which im yet to see. This game is looking more and more bad ass and cant wait to see what else is there hidden. imagine all characters with hidden attributes that shits cool as fuck!

Holy cow, that’s awesome.

Wonder if everyone has some secret mechanisms like this.
