  • Admin
As of this morning, two more characters have been revealed for SOULCALIBUR VI! Firstly, surprising no one, Ivy makes her return to the series after becoming a staple since SC1. But in addition to Ivy, Namco has revealed a return for Zasalamel. Zasalamel first appeared in SC3, but was previously absent from SC5.

Ivy is awesome. I absolutely love everything about the character, period.
I haven't played Zas yet, but he's using a Scythe against swords and whatnot, that's really hype!

I want Taki and Mina next!
 
I like Ivy but that costume is laughably bad just from a design standpoint. Her SCV costumes had a lot more visual texture to them.

Characters looks almost identicall to their SC1 designs, so WHY would they change Ivy costume???
 
I expected both of them to be in this game, tbh.

Zasalamel looks brilliant. Even in facial structure is brilliantly done.

I do not like Ivy's design. I expected less regality in her attire for timeline's sake, but I wanted to see more....darkness perhaps? Plus, it is reminding me how much I don't like the anime-ish facial structure with the females in this game, or maybe it's the way they design hair. Also her voice acting is atrocious. Her moveset, however, seems much more refreshing.
 
So, does Ivy have stance based moveset or is she still simplified as before? I only noticed what seems like whip stance and shoulder bash stance, so she's similar to her SC3 counterpart?

Ivy is finally properly dressed again. I am so glad to see that. Her face is still too masculine though.

I may be wrong but she doesn't seem to have any stance. Whip moves are performed by maintaining A or B button.

Not really sure for that one : what seems to be her serpent embrace is actually follow-up done after moves like SW 66K during soulcharge. Or maybe she just has sword et serpent embrace stance.

I've always mained characters that use scythes so I am very excited to see the return of Zasalamel.
His new time control feature looks awesome as well. I wonder what the specifics of it are.
The hype for this game just keeps rising haha
 
All the characters so far look amazing! Love Ivy and Zas’s new designs. Now, all they need to do is reveal Tira and I will be truly happy...fingers crossed.
 
I did not expect a character reveal this quickly. Ivy and Zas will cause a raucous against most of the cast so far imo.
Zasalamel was a difficult character to fight against, but he's welcomed in.
Ivy was undoubtedly going to be in this so there's no crying about that. -- I may not be much of an Ivy person however. Still it'd be cool if her "Color 2" scheme for the next playable demo would come in white, similar to her SCIII 1P costume.
 
Finally, someone with a bit of sense..
Haha thanks. I can’t express how badly I want Tira to be in this game and how awesome she’s going to be. I know she’s been supposedly leaked to be in SC6 but I’m not going to totally believe it until there’s some official confirmation from Bandai Namco.

Yeah, same! I'm just worried that I won't enjoy her style as much since she more than likely won't be jolly/gloomy split in this installment. Regardless, she's my favorite character in the series.
