Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

DanteSC3 said:
I don't think anyone is really seriously considering Rock is going to make it, except for maybe @Windstar -- even if you're subscribing to his theory that there's only 5 characters left, they would most likely be Astaroth, Cervantes, Hwang*, Lizardman, and Tira, using the story timeline as a predictor. It's not just the events themselves and the timeline, but there is also a theme of groupings in the list all the same, as such:

Mitsurugi (rival)
Taki (rival)
Kilik (the heroes)
Maxi (the heroes)
Xianghua (the heroes)
Grøh (the rival of Kilik/the heroes)
Hwang (*if there's anyone questionable at all, it would be this one - Rock MIGHT go here, but severe doubt - the other option is Grøh's dad, but seems unlikely if he's final boss, I personally vote Hwang because he could be the "rival" of the heroes in that he subbed Xianghua for Korean releases)
Ivy (daughter, also Schwarzstrom)
Cervantes (father, while not Schwarzstrom, original wielder of Soul Edge, could say he's the founder)
Lizardman (Schwarzstrom) (people who argue that Seong Mi-na would go here, it goes against the groupings and makes no sense)
Astaroth (Schwarzstrom)
Nightmare (mortal enemy, also Schwarzstrom)
Siegfried (mortal enemy)
Sophitia (future enemies)
Tira (future enemies)
Yoshimitsu (sword stolen)
Voldo (steals sword)
Talim (seeks balance)
Zasalamel (seeks balance)
Geralt (the guest)

MY FAVORITE PART: voldo sneaking in the background... gently... blindly... stealing a sword from a man with lack of extremities.




CRIPPLE FIGHT!!
 
Anybody have a version of the Tira key art with a black background (but keeping the affinity motif)? Despite my many issues with her release practices, her design is one that really clicks with me visually, and I want to have it as my phone bg without burning my eyes out at night time.

For the brave soul willing to make it himself if one doesn't exist, please use the Gamersyde version of the art, as it has a massive resolution.

I wish Hayate's videos had more sharper edits... I came away not really knowing what Maxi's new moves are or what they look like... same with the Siegfried video... it just looks like we are watching a rolling video without actually emphasising the moves.

However, I did spot something interesting with Zas in this still.... do you guys notice it as well...?

Yeah, also the fact that there's no mention on his name maybe another hint, maybe BN are aware of the leaks so.

There's a part of me that believes that companies give information to certain people so that they can leak some info and drive up speculation and interest in a game. It keeps people talking and they have the ability to 'leak' as much or as little information as they would like at various times without having to pay for extra advertising and marketing.

maybe sometimes this happen, but for Groh's dad i don't think that was the case, at this point seeing how they're hiding about Groh's Dad, if he's really in, and still plan to be in, it could even be a huge Story Spoiler that we already got the info way too early. Like imagine that you'll only get to know that he's Groh's Dad until you finish the Story mode LOL

Sorry if this has been brought already, but has this been pointed out about Lizardman? Look at his pose and also remember that he's supposed to be left-handed. This looks like he's using Sophitia's moveset. I know this is a generic Lizardman enemy in the story mode, but you'd think they would still give him Lizardman's moveset.

That gave me an extremely worrying idea about the character screen. What if the bottom four slots are the season pass characters? (Garfield is representing Mr wizard dude in this example):

I doubt we'll be that unlucky, but maybe something to consider a possibility just in case.

They annouced 4 DLC, so this will not match exactly.

Anyway that's the worst scenario. It's a possibility. I did notice it when you first talked about, but it would be a shame. 20 characters with 3 DLC ? Come on Namco.

The more I hear the Gloomy's voice in SC 6 the less I like it.


In previous games is more aggressive, also Jolly and gloomy are more different from each other.

I just saying it, I'm not a fanboy of Tira but I like the char. I clarify this because I saw discussions about this in the previous pages.

@Vergeben : What do feel about this whole Groh's Dad/ New dude in story trailer/ Azwel? Don't you feel they're all one character? Personally i feel that it could be the case and they're all one person.

How good are some of you with determining voice actors?
If I say a name and you can determine if it is him or not, you would have your answer if it's his dad or not.

I just realized skeletons are their own base skin. I'm really sad now, say bye bye to all my hexed boney hand chest spine and teeth sporting OC's. D:

Behind the scenes, it probably works exactly the same as it used to.
In fact, remember how removing underwear was simply changing the mode of the base body part in question? If they aren't entirely separate items to the base model anymore, it will be exactly like that.
(Now that I think about it, at least for males, it actually was an entirely separate part... but still, if they felt the need to condense each race's body parts into one item for each with a bunch of modes, you could still change that. Remember, they still need to hide legs, chests, etc. for various armour pieces, so there's no way there's any complete bodies you won't be able to adjust.)

I also predict a skin texture byte. I can't imagine they made modes for every underwear based on the texture of each race's skin, there'll be a thing that just globally changes the texture, and they'll grey out the underwear section for skeletons.

Yeah i read about the voice actor, but... still, so you're saying we'll get Groh, Groh's Dad, and the new guy as new characters? And more likely a new girl as well imo. That would be way more than expected, not that's it's a bad thing, especially if the new characters will end up being great.

If we can determine that the voice actor that I know about that's voicing Groh's dad is voicing the mage, then he is Groh's dad.

That's unlikely right? Because they said that the game will have more characters than 5 (though I don't know if they meant at launch or if they counted SCVs mimics in the total, if they didn't... Well we are f*cked)

What if the guy in the trailer is the Omega version of Groh's dad voiced by another actor different to the one who did it for Groh's Dad.

You didn't though about this possibility don't you? Kappa
 
Wasn't there a dude who did some motion capture for SCVI a little before E3? If I'm not mistaken he looks a tad similar to the new character.
