Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

DanteSC3 said:
The Steins;Gate comparison doesn't really work, because a different world line implies there was a massive change that altered the course of history, which is the exact opposite of what SoulCalibur VI is doing. It's filling in gaps and expanding on stories, but changing nothing of importance. It would only work if Azwel and Grøh were important outside of Libra of Soul, which is non-canon. Or we could maybe say that Libra of Soul is a different world line, I'd agree to that, but because it's non-canon, there's no "new timeline" for the main series, unless we're also saying Chronicles of the Sword counts.

i wasn't referencing steins:gate's plot but it's theory of alternate timelines, there being an infinite number of them and "canon or non canon" meaning little when SC's own universe says it's very nature "Transcends history and the world". To the note of a massive change... you're really gonna say that when there are reality bending portals opening up that drag in people from alternate universes and mind you EVERY guest character is canon. Soul Edge and Soul Calibur defy the rules of reality, why can't they defy the rules of time? Maybe them being destroyed in V is what sparked the timeline shifts, maybe the creation of the swords is what did it, or any event that happened in the franchise where something significant happens to soul edge or soul calibur
 
@PSY -- I personally take the "transcending history and the world" phrase to simply mean that the swords have existed for eternity, and perhaps throughout several incarnations of the world, in other words, an alternate reality where the swords' influence is what writes history. It's based on our world's real history, but modifies it in such a way that the swords are what impacted and caused change. If you've played Assassin's Creed games, basically the same thing, but instead of Pieces of Eden, it's the two swords. Manipulating time is a bit beyond the scope of things, I think, though with Zasalamel being able to manipulate time, now, and perhaps he was always able, this power may be outside of the swords, since even he needs the swords to break his curse, so this implies the swords are of a different nature than time powers.

i wonder how many of you will actually play Aeon/Lizardman

I would, but mostly because I'll play everyone, as that's my style. I walk the Edge Master's path. But as I'm playing Aeon, I would be a bit torn up over the fact that I wasn't playing Hwang, if it comes to pass in that Aeon makes it in and Hwang doesn't, I'll be super sad about that.
 
Still waiting for the battle macanics english version. I barely watched the Japanese version and seemed already very interesting, i learned for example that you can SS Zasa CE. The guy at Namco really knows his stuff and was ready for all Kayane questions :D

I think we're exaggerating how annoying CAS is online, i mean sure but not enough to warrant removal from ranked. I prefer player lobbies but sometimes that just sucks. Too long a wait, ridiculous hosts with silly attitudes, etc. Ranked is useful to just get a quick match without additional bullshit.

CaS online is fine until you run into the idiot using Astaroth moveset with a pink tutu abusing a lagged 1A,A and 1A,B mixup.
There should be a at least one CaS free online mode and Ranked makes the most sense.
 
Silly characters don't bother me, but I remember in SCV some people would put three of those Raijin drum accessory things around the character at max size which heavily obscured their character's hitbox.

Showing off your CaS is part of the fun so let people have their silliness, but I don't want the ones who are clearly designed to affect gameplay and make them hard to fight.
