Soulcalibur VI DLC Discussion Thread

I think i know why Setsuka isn't in SC6

She hanging around in Sekiro @1:15


I can't imagine she'll stay long--all of that blood will not be friendly on her wardrobe in particular. Living in Soulcalibur's low risk fantasy violence universe has it's advantages for the fashion conscious. I mean yeah, sometimes your clothes just straight up explode for...reasons?...but at least if you get out of the fight without that happening they'll look like they just came straight from the cleaners.
 
So I asked earlier if you guys would like guest artist DLC in the game. Which artists in particular would you like to see?

One western artist I'd like to see is the Croatian Stjepan Šejić (I think his name is pronounced "Steven"?). He's an artist who's done a lot of Image comics, and also DC recently. He rose to fame as the artist of Witchblade in the later years. I think he could make some really cool, and sexy designs. He's gained a pretty big following on the internet as well, so I can see a lot of people who would like it.

Can you elaborate? I've been seeing a bunch of off topic posts here and I don't want to dig through debates about Star Wars
I'm not sure how caught up you are, but I'll recap everything just in case: 6 more DLC characters were datamined, but unlike Cassandra and Amy, who are listed by name, the new characters are using codenames:
+ProfileIconInitials=(Character=ELC_CASSANDRA,Initial=NSLOCTEXT("[/Script/LuxorEditor]", "4330548E48FC4A63C10025B7A2DB05E1", "DLC2"))
+ProfileIconInitials=(Character=ELC_AMY,Initial=NSLOCTEXT("[/Script/LuxorEditor]", "E0D41BB848CDE634D4DF518D8E5EB090", "DLC3"))
+ProfileIconInitials=(Character=ELC_STONE,Initial=NSLOCTEXT("[/Script/LuxorEditor]", "7B0E58294CD4C85FA5D35FA717978AE0", "DLC4"))
+ProfileIconInitials=(Character=ELC_YELL,Initial=NSLOCTEXT("[/Script/LuxorEditor]", "79D6CD03424337BC682B9E991FBA703F", "DLC5"))
+ProfileIconInitials=(Character=ELC_STAR,Initial=NSLOCTEXT("[/Script/LuxorEditor]", "CA271D944DFA2167AFC12DAFDD393B2B", "DLC6"))
+ProfileIconInitials=(Character=ELC_SNOW,Initial=NSLOCTEXT("[/Script/LuxorEditor]", "1251B58745E2466D7CE296B65D76B7EF", "DLC7"))
+ProfileIconInitials=(Character=ELC_REPTILE,Initial=NSLOCTEXT("[/Script/LuxorEditor]", "C6C36ED149DF6C1CF986E49A9F34F26F", "DLC8"))
+ProfileIconInitials=(Character=ELC_YELLOW,Initial=NSLOCTEXT("[/Script/LuxorEditor]", "FDC6BAC344C5204386DBBAA6FA1C635D", "DLC9"))
The codenames seem to be based on previous characters (STONE, SNOW, and YELLOW could possibly be Rock, Setsuka, and Hwang; for example). Frayhua's comment is probably referring to the lack of a fitting codename for Hilde.

Again, I don't know how much you already knew, so sorry if I'm being redundant.

Assuming he won't be asked to make costumes only for Ivy and Voldo, that is.

As a guest artist, I would really like to see Tite Kubo design a character or provide character costumes. I may not be too fond of what Bleach has become towards the end of the story but his character designs are really great. He has come up with very unique weapons which match the character's design aesthetics. His skill set would be a perfect fit for the SoulCalibur series.

Another guest artist that would be interesting to include is Akira Yasuda who is well known as the character designer for Street Fighter Alpha 3, Darkstalkers, and many other fighting games during the 90's. It would be interesting to see what kind of design he comes up with for SoulCalibur given his experience in designing many fighting game characters during the golden age of fighting games.

Ah I see, I was hoping there was an update in the code or something. As it remains, there is still no confirmation that any of these codenames will be for who they think we are. Though some are obvious, I will believe when they are announced.

Nope, just Frayhua being Frayhua, confirming things before they're confirmed. Pretty much the usual.
 
As far as the guest artist discussion goes, I think I'd like to see Hidari, who worked on a couple Fire Emblem games, to contribute to Soulcalibur. I really enjoy a lot of his designs and a few have even somewhat inspired some of my own characters' designs to a point.

Another one is maybe Hyung-tae Kim, who has worked on Blade and Soul and the Magna Carta series. Though that largely depends on what direction he'd go with his designs. His work is very hit-or-miss with me. And when he misses, he misses by miles. But he's created a number of absolutely gorgeous designs and I'd love to see a few things of that quality in the game.
 
I really like Oh Great!! but his work can be hit or miss. Ashlotte was definitely a Hit for me. Whoever does art for dynasty warriors would be nice too. Also, while it's an odd choice, i'd personally like to see what Saburo Uta would create. She did the art for unlimited Fafnir iirc. Her art is amazing.

I really like his art style, I would certainly welcome some of the darker characters drawn by Jeff Easley from the classic D&D books.

And characters from whoever draws the Dark Souls concept art:

Wow, that gallery really brought back some classic PC gaming memories--all of the old gold and silver box SSI games: Champions of Krynn, Eye of the Beholder, Pools of Radiance, Fantasy Empires, the original Neverwinter Nights. Makes me feel old and young again all at once!
 
Valentine’s Day is coming up, so I’m dreading it’ll be sexy BDSM gear mostly and some dumb Cupid diaper. Hopefully it’ll have some decent footwear...
 
I just completed the Wolfkrone mission in Libra where they mention Hilde. It got me thinking about the Yell thing again and she is referenced highly throughout the game. But it's starting to seem like a reference towards her in another game. So If I were to consider Li Long as the person Yell refers too it thing made me think about the entire package of people coming out. Yellow/Hwang, Yell/Li Long, Snow/Setsuka, Stone/Rock. All these characters actually have good chunks of stories that all take place before or during 1583 A.D. Reptile/Aeon(SCorSC5) is also a strange sort because he has pre 1583 roots but didn't become the Lizard until after the Evil Seed. Could his Soul Chronicle actually have him be in a generic human form first and then become Lizardman and eventually go hunting after victims like Bagoo later in his story? And then that makes me think that Algol could be another strange subject that he doesn't actually have to appear psychically in the story. His story states that when the two swords clashed he was able to take in the energy and begin creating a body. There is no telling if this was when Kilik and Xianghua fought Inferno and there is nothing stating of how long it took. But you could end up. But his chronicle like Zasalamel's doesn't have to have missions, but instead narration as he forms his body, then takes shape. I've also started to take into consideration that they would want to make one model for everyone. And if you made a younger Hilde then had to make a older Hilde in the future it might not serve something they would want to put the production team through.

I sure as hell hope that Namco would have the sense to never add a diaper: furries love the shit out of infantile stuff, and I don't want to be seeing unending Sonic the hedgehog creation monstrosities in ranked until the end of time....

This is a possibility that I've contemplated here previously, but it would be somewhat complicated by the fact that Lizzi's moveset has very animalistic elements and I expect they will use a variation on his axe and shield set-up rather than the sword and shield preferred by the "holy warriors". That could be solved easily by giving him Sophi or Cassi's moveset in his early human chapters, of course, but I'm not sure either of them would fit perfectly either. Still, given the effort to give every member of the cast a kind of origin story explaining their beginning motivations for being pulled into the wake of Soul Edge, starting with Aeon in his human form would make sense. It'll be interesting to see which route they ultimately choose. And I say this as someone who doesn't have much investment in the often flimsy plot of the series: but after twenty years, I can't lie, it would be interesting to see an interpretation of who Aeon was before the transformation.

Edit: By the way, can we just take a minute to appreciate how much it sucks to be "chosen by the gods" to be one of the Hellenic holy warriors? Aeon gets captured and changed into a bestial creature, at first a slave and eventually descending into madness. Cassandra gets cast unceremoniously into the nightmare-scape of the astral chaos and is never heard from again. And Sophitia...where to start with her? She is asked to abandon her family repeatedly, missing most of the childhood of her children in order to go on a series of missions to destroy Soul Edge which usually end with her horrifically injured and traumatized, with shards of Soul Edge leaking evil seed toxins into her body. Then she is ultimately turned against her own family in order to protect her daughter, despite knowing she is infected by that same evil, and ultimately has to die trying to protect her child, only to have that sacrifice result in said daughter being kidnapped, manipulated and turned first into a mewling simpleton and then into a malfested. Oh, and perhaps worst of all, she ends up with Patroklos as a son! Talk about getting the short end of the stick. If she could have seen what was coming, I can only assume she would have told Hephaestus where he could stick that sword and shield that her husband was to forge for her.
