Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

@Silver-wind I read this part of Durer bio

Perhaps this explains why they give Hilde the new forest stage instead of creating a proper wolfkrone stage.
We know is because budget, but let's pretend it's a concept/reference.. Kappa

Wow +_+! I didn’t read his story until you cited a part of it @LisaK . If the castle and lord referenced in Durer’s story is Wolfkrone’s castle and lord, Hilde’s story is going to be like a movie.

To people complaining about boob plate. People wore giant crotch pieces back then to represent giant crotches. The did this to represent their sexual prowess, the men thought it was sexy.

If women in armor was normal back then instead of stupidly rare, and if they thought adding boobs enhanced the female sexuality and women warriors thought it made them sexier and they could afford it, you can bet your ass wealthier women would have boob plate for the eact same reason stupid sized cod pieces existed.

This is a good observation for everyone to consider.

Now women warriors were rare, and they didn't have modern sexual tastes, so... yeah...

Boob plate is not bad for the reasons people insist though. The shape makes negligible difference to survival, and there are many examples of armor designed to enhance sexuality despite being entirely absurd and helpful in no way.

Were armor made with modern aesthetics boob plate would exist. In fact it does exist for that very reason.

Agreed on the fact that if woman warriors were more prominent then some feature exposure could have a place when it comes to armour. Tho I would disagree a out the shape. Nevertheless - I personally have no quarrel with boobplate so it's fine by me :D

After some mulling over, some thoughts:

Gameplay:

• She had her spear becomes highlighted both teal and blue(against Tira), and it appears her howling wolf-blast combo ender seems to remove the glow. So does this suggest that this is one way to expend a charge?
• New animation for 2nd hit of C2B (against Nightmare), and I the weapon changing to all teal, which looks different against Tira. Could this merely ..be a soul charge difference, or a lighting difference, or a true mechanic difference?
• I was hoping her SC5 66A+B animation would be her standard A+B, but it looks like its just a SC enhanced string ender
• Her wolf-blast animation at the end of her CE looks like it'll ringout pretty well, I wonder how it'll compare to Talim's gale blast.
• Secondly, with her heavy wolf motif, will this mean Zwei is 100% not coming back, considering how much emphasis the Project Soul has made the improvement on differentiating the roster's motifs and themes? Unless Ein comes back as some gorilla or something, having 2 wolf-motif'd characters would not be good.
• I wonder how her preferred range would be compared to Seong Mina.
• I'm hoping they toned down her step mobility. It was always surprising to me that a small girl in heavy plate armor holding a massive lance/spear would be so mobile.

Aesthetics:

• Her RE animation against heavy low attacks where she does a twirl is really cool.
• Her gold armor would probably look better using her signature silver armor. Going to be the first thing I change
• The gorget with the 3 wolves looks a little low (isn't it supposed to protect her throat)? However, we don't want that to cover her signature mole.
• Her princess tiara looks surprisingly plain. I would have expected some jewels more befitting her standing as a princess.
• The coat is legit badass. The knight armor + regal coat makes her look very distinct from sieg/nightmare.
• She has chainmail underneath her shirt under her armor. There's no way mid-armor break will reveal it.
• Her hair style is the 2nd worse in the series IMO (after helmet-less messy hair SC4 1p). I'm aware you won't be able to fit her princess hair with her new queen coat, but one can dream.
• The 2 chains across her waist to hold the coat looks pretty flimsy. Chains seems to clash with her royal image. While its a small detail, it stands out because it's in the center of her key art (which is amazing as usual).
• Overall, the weakest Hilde design. Really hoping her solid SC4 1p is in. Apparantly her SC4 2p princess dress was a CAS part data mined from Lost Swords, so one can hope.

Animations:
Hilde always had really dope attack animations. I'm hoping for the following animations to return:
SC5 4B, sway back TC long range thrust
SC4 1B / SC5 44B (functions a lot like Mina's 1A).
SC5 1B is also a nice low poke.
SC4 FC C1B
SC4 2A+B K (I always liked the fluidity of this one)
SC4 6B+K looked cool as a leaping spear thrust.
SC4 22B / SC5 33B was a cool TC looking hilt thrust, especially with the BE ender.
Back grab : Her backdrop suplex was pretty nice looking

It looks as though all her old Level 3 Charge Combo strings have been moved into Soul Charge Strings. And there's clearly some evidence that her charge attacks can be held indefinitely or at least are trigger through specific inputs (ala SC6 Cassandra). She appears to have a command throw that has a clear follow-up in SC-state. Her basic foward throw, left-side throw and her "B" throw are all there, and then she has the command throw.

It's also interesting to see her RE B has a throw catch, I'm kinda wondering if this throw can be trigger outside of RE and if it rings out. I'm thinking similar to Siegfried's old 1B or Night's FC3B throw catches. It would probably need a counter hit to trigger if its outside of an RE-state.

A lot of the video footage is based on Hilde's SC-state moves, throws, or charge attacks. No real evidence of her basic strings are found in the reel other than a back-turned guard break low and a lethal hit 8A. Almost makes me think of her SC4 state with some really shoddy normals and game-breaking charge attacks. I wonder if that's the sort of strategy they're trying to go for here with Hilde for SC6? If that's true, it would put Hilde (and even Cassandra to a lesser extent) into a case of power-creep and it would end up making sense why Project-Soul would want to do a refresh on the existing on existing roster to give them new moves and mechanics as they introduce more new characters in SC6 with new mechanics.
 
I’m reading all the old post I’m currently on 1769 but I have to go back with my original prediction. And everyone might feel confused about the colors but let’s go back to the original evidence. The dump .
Yell: Hilde! Confirmed! Woot I was right. Sorry Li Long.
Hilde has allot of story elements hinting her and she already had the wolf emblem in the CaS
Star: Algol: we probably won’t see him this season, once again strong story elements that hinted at him before any dlc. So I don’t think this is Viola
Yellow: Hwang. Have faith he’s still coming. He’s got too much invested in the story too. And he might be saved for last to finish the season strong. Hilde is iffy because we weren’t expecting her but we want Hwang. Have been clamoring for Hwang.
Snow: Setsuka. Okubo didn’t take a picture by all those umbrellas for nothing. And there was another snow hint at her. And I think it plays better for her to drop after our guest.
Stone: Rock.
Reptile: Lizardman/Aeon
I feel like these two are going to take the longest to get released because the developers really have to put in work to make a character entirely different from Astraroth. And make a Aeon that won’t piss of one half of the divide. Some want pre-Aeon. Others like myself want Aeon.

I don’t remember anything else from the drop but these are the characters I’m sure we are getting. And they don’t want to get us over excited but as long as the Soul burns in the hearts of this community we will get Season 3. They aren’t being safe by adding more girls they are being fair. Because they is a uneven amount of women that was represented in this game and they are balancing the roster. I’m not being pc I’m just being rationale. Girls love this game too, and I personally love all my favorite girls being included in this game. Let’s go! Woot!
 
Launch Roster Comparison
( No boss/mimic/guests/alt forms)

Soul Calibur I: 17

Soul Calibur 2: 17

Soul Calibur 4: 25

Soul Calibur 5: 21 ( +2 if you include Alpha Patroklos & Pyrrha Omega)

Soul Calibur VI: 18

I didn’t include Soul Calibur 3 since it seemed like an outlier in terms of content and roster length.

Not completely sure why I made this list lol. I originally was just thinking about how I respected Viola and Hwang for their placement on the popularity poll given their appearances/handling.

Please let me know if you see an error in numbers lol

And then Hilde Aka the RO godess got reveal as the first Season 2 character.

I want the SC3 version of this stage haha. But for now we don't know if there will any new stage (even tho i guess Guymaru will have his own?), i want Valentine mansion, Jurakudai Vila, and Money's pit, and i want the gold pieces to fly when the character fall into (like Tekken 5 and DOA6 pirate stages). But i'm sure i'm asking for too much maybe, 1st season had 1 stage DLC (2B's), we'll see about the Season pass 2. Tho it's great that it's seems we're already having a bunch of alt version stages, this game needed some buff in that area.

if anything be happy that we are guaranteed a stage along with Haohmaru, and also they said they were considering adding stages i dont know when they said it but it was up for consideration dont lose hoop yet.
