Project Soul are really good in CE animations, Tekken Team need to take some lessons in that matter from them.

Nah, not stepping on my toes at all. Just know first hand what a pain combing through those dates can be and wanted to save you the trouble.

CaS opposite of random select. Thats a good prediction.

Alright I'll leave it you man. Cheers!

The roster pic doesn't make complete sense. I don't think Inferno will be playable and I'm willing to bet the center spot is for CAS, not the far bottom left. The preorder screens mentioned only 3 DLC characters and then one more that's exclusive to the season pass.

Nah, CaS has to be mirrored with Random. It doesn't make sense in the center...

Keep in mind last game we thought the center would have a boss character or create a soul or something and in the end they just stuck the timer there and it had been nothing all along.

Voldo should be opposite of Yoshimitsu

Yes, I think that too, I had to choose between getting Voldo opposite of Yoshi or getting Cervantes next to Ivy, and I chose the second option. But yes, I agree with you that it may end up being that way

I never like there being a random select spot in a fighter. I feel like instead it should always be a character that randomly chooses one of the character's fighting styles for a match. If people want to use someone at random they can just move the cursor around fast.

In Naruto: Ultimate Ninja, hitting the triangle button on the select screen will cause the cursor to randomly fly around and then select someone. Something like this would be a nice way to still include a random option without using a slot (and making mimics feel a little more welcome since random wouldn't have a slot too).
If Inferno is playable I imagine he'll be the mimic. If not, Edge Master will probably return (though I'd rather see Charade personally if we have to have a mimic).
I also REALLY want Elysium to return, with her own unique appearance and style. I really loved her presence and how the 'holy sword' was just as fucked as the evil one. It was one of the only cool things I liked about the SCV story mode, the way she manipulated Patroklos and that she was perfectly happy killing people for her own ends. We have always had an embodiment of Soul Edge in the form of Nightmare so it would be really cool to have an embodiment of Soul Calibur too.

I agree that seeing Elysium come back would be for the best, so we can have Inferno vs. Elysium at some point, but her placement in the character poll was absolutely abysmal, even lower than all the replacement characters, so I'm not holding out any sort of hopes at all. People let their three mimics hate go too far instead of seeing potential for future developments. But even if you do hate mimics, I still don't really fully understand how you could hate Elysium, since she was at least trying something new and different, having her own unique Critical Edge, no matter who she was mimicking, and I truly believe that if SoulCalibur V was finished, then she would have had modified styles for all of her styles, and not just Pyrrha Omega. It's why I'm hoping that Inferno is the boss unlock and the mimic unlock, all rolled into one, using this idea, modifying all of the styles to be a bit more Inferno-like, having Inferno exclusive moves that are usable no matter what style is being mimicked (perhaps Soul Charge only), and yes, having his own unique Critical Edge, no matter which style is being mimicked. And if that is the case, and people actually like it, then maybe Elysium can make a comeback, having her own spin on things.

I agree with this; it took until about SC3 before it became clear that both swords are messed; I think it would be kinda neat to see their true nature revealed with more clarity a little sooner. This would also obviously allow for Elysium or a similar concept to appear in SC6. My only worry would be yet another sword and shield user showing up after everyone griped about that with SC5. o.o

I'm starting to think we actually might not get a raft stage this time 'round...

Or a lava stage.
But I’d give up 2Ps to keep excess mimics out. That trick left a sour taste.
Maybe we could get two more stages since none really fit Ivy or the very likely Voldo.

Does anyone else think that the new GI system is dumb? Im happy that they don't cost meter anymore but do they really need to parry everything including lows and throws. I know in sc4 you could gi throws but it was like a one frame window and rarely happened.

I mostly agree, but I think some of your placements are off. My hopes for Hwang and Seong Mi-na are also pretty shot unless we do, in fact, as you speculate, get a second DLC pack. And drop Rock, add Yun-seong, because Talim needs her foil, and Rock just doens't fit into the equation anywhere. It'd be nice to see him return, but I just can't see it with our limited slots.
Third row should be Voldo instead of Cervantes. "Some Sort of Boss" is most likely Inferno.
Fourth row should be Yun-seong instead of Cassandra and Cervantes instead of Voldo.
Fifth row should be Cassandra instead of Rock.
DLC Bonus for Season Pass (available at launch) would be Raphael, and the three characters that follow would be Setsuka, Hilde, and 2B (Guest).
If, and only if, we got a second DLC pack of four, then I could see Seong Mi-na, Hwang, Amy/Viola, and a third guest, which I haven't considered.
Another possibility is that Raphael really is in the base roster, and the nodes in the lower left and lower right are for CaS for 1p and 2p, not for the two DLC packs you're suggesting, allowing us to have two sets of CaS loaded at once, like back in SoulCalibur III. If that is the case, Raphael goes in the top left corner, and Talim goes in the bottom left corner or Yun-seong goes in the bottom left corner with Talim just above him. Amy/VIola replaces Raphael in the DLC pack.

Imho, mimics should be what Necrid was. The whole "I can fight with any style" is stupid and wrong... They can use any style but they use only a fraction of them! They are fighting... "Wait, lemme change my weapon to fight you". The random button should be enough.
Elysium was interesting because she had that personal interpretation of "Pyrrha's" fighting style, as well as a personal CE.

I totally agree with you on the fact that the low dots might be for CaS, who knows, but I could totally see that!

It also heavily damages your guard meter if you whiff it. So that balances it
