At a high enough level, every character requires character-specific knowledge. I don't think 2B is going to revolutionize SoulCalibur any more than Menat/Abigail did for Street Fighter or Eliza/Geese/Noctis did for Tekken. Yes, they bring new ideas to the game. To some degree new ideas are a...

This has been the argument against character DLC for fighting games since the beginning. Both Harada and Capcom's Ono made pretty much this exact same argument about why they were hesitant to add DLC characters to Tekken and Street Fighter respectively. But that was ten years ago. Consumers...

So these are the buffs we actually got: I'm curious about the changes to SC 6A+B. It's a cool move and I'd enjoy it being more useful. PO 6A being safer sounds nice. An improved 3B could be the best buff she received. But overall, I'm not sure if these changes will significantly improve...

Maybe a less generic reminders, but no SC scene existed until it was started by someone. There's no reason it can't be you.

This is true art: (From r/SoulCalibur)

*generic reminder to support your local SC scene*

No, the opponent can break both of her posession throws with the same input. It's not a 50/50 like nearly every other throw in the game.

But changing it would still affect balance. It would make Astaroth less awful. So my point is that it's not too early for a balance patch. There's also a lot of wonky stuff that I'd like to see changed. Like the fact that both of Taki's PO throws can be broken with the same input. Does it make...

I'm genuinely curious. What balance changes to Astaroth or Taki would make them god-tier? Secondary question: Do you really think that making Astaroth's hitboxes not suck would be enough to make him god-tier? You can't actually think his laughably wonky hitboxes are an intentional balance...

What changes would you like to see to Taki? What would it take to make her top-tier, strong, or just decent? I don't know how much impact these changes would have, but these are my top three wishes: A low out of PO. Or a low out of PO B+K. I'd be fine if they just copied the animation from...

As others have said, older games didn't have to devote resources to adding functional online. They were also usually ports of arcade versions, so most of the core content (gameplay, stages, characters) was already finished.

I can assure you that SF and Tekken are the two most popular fighting games in Japan. (Source: I lived there for a couple years, visiting dozens or arcades.) But that said, fighting games are still a niche genre.

I mean, the attempt wasn't a total failure. SC5 was the most successful SC game in Japan since SC2. That's not to say it was a huge success, but it still did a ton to revive competitive SC over there. I think the future of the Soul series is dependent on how well SC is supported by the...

Guess my powers of observation are lacking. Thanks for the tip.

Question: Would anyone else be interested in a thread dedicated to making 2Ps for the main cast? I saw a few cool ones in this thread, but have lost track of where they were. Making alternate costumes for the main cast is my favorite element of CAS (even if it technically isn't CAS), but I'm...

It asks for up to 5. You don't have to list 5. Overall I think SCVI is fantastic, and the best SoulCalibur since SCII. Even with fewer characters, a dearth of stages and no 2P costumes; the game delivers in every field where it really matters. Okubo made incredibly smart decisions on where...

Judging by formatting, it means that SoulCalibur VI has sold 35,590 copies in Japan. Last week it sold 1,824 copies, which made it the 20th best selling game in Japan. Which isn't great. But SoulCalibur has always done poorly in Japan, so it's not a surprise.

Absolutely, if you put aside the players' matchup knowledge, reaction time, space control, combo knowledge, creativity, and their ability to perform under pressure, fighting games are purely guessing games. Yup.

Yeah, but could you do this in SC3?
