Just frames and "dings!" make the SC world go round!

But... why? That was literally cancer to the ears. I hope you're joking.

Whaaa- seriously? It was fucking epic lol. It would making pulling off JFs (especially with a character like Setsuka) much more hype. I personally really enjoyed that.

It was a personal peeve of mine, and it actually motivated me to not do just frames. I hated it. If there was a way to turn just that sound effect off, I'd have done it in a heartbeat.

If a simple sound like that manage to motivate you not to just frame, then I'm guessing you're not big on guard impact either.

No, the Guard Impact sound is fine. It doesn't grate on the ears nearly so much. It probably helps that the sound has been basically the same in every game, so it's a standard that I've gotten used to and accepted. I'm not sure why they changed the Just Frame sound for SoulCalibur IV, but I'm happy they changed it again for SoulCalibur V, which says to me at least one other person probably found it annoying, and I hope the SoulCalibur IV sound never returns. The volume and pitch was tuned just so where it was painful.

Does anyone happen to know if the color of the glow around characters when they perform RE depends on the characters themselves (blue for Sophi, orange for Mitsu) or it's just blue for P1 and orange for P2? I'm not sure it would fit the game if every character has his/her own color for this, as blue and orange kind of represent soul calibur and soul edge. At the same time, they fit Mitsu and Sophi quite well.
It's also Soul Charge that made me doubt that the color is set for P1 and P2. Once it's activated, Sophitia's weapons will have blue shine and Mitsu's somewhat orange. It would make sense if Ivy's weapon will be surrounded by a purple aura, red for Nightmare, crimson for Taki, white for Xianghua, etc. And since the color of weapons' glow during Soul Charge coincides with the one during RE (as far as I've seen in the gameplay videos), are we going to have multiple colors of glow for different characters' Reversal Edge as well? Or otherwise, every single upcoming character is about to have blue and orange colors for their Soul Charges and RE.

I think it's probably going to be character-dependent. Although admittedly it would lose some of its visual impact if the two characters had identical colors.
I also suspect you'll be able to customize the soul charge color, just like you could change the hit effects for weapons in SC5.

That would be extremely neat. I hope this is a thing.

Definitely, imagine a green-colored Soul Charge effect.

I agree and customization could be fun, but to my taste let's say a RE between characters with bright-green and fuchsia color effects might look out of place and over the top, considering RE itself is already on the verge of being too flashy.
Edit: But if it'll be dependent on characters, it really makes me wonder what colors they will choose for each one and if it will mainly rely on the color of chars' weapons/outfit. I'm also curious whether Tira's (if she will make it, indeed) colors will switch the same way it happened in SCV (yellow for Jolly, purple for Gloomy if I'm not mistaken). Though I believe she might not have these two states anymore.

You're not wrong. But I don't think it'll look any more out of place than cowboy Mitsurugi vs. firefighter Sophitia.
(For real though, I hope they give us some good custom character options.)

I doubt the silly stuff is going anywhere. SCV could let you get really handy with obscure items.

Ugh I miss that sound so much it was truly my kink. Not sure how I feel about the visuals of JF's in VI at the moment, they're not bad tho.

Don't want to shit up the news thread, but after the latest trailer, I'm not digging how over-the-top everything is. Seems like they're going hard in on that anime influence with how flashy stuff is, and the new guy's design, and the super saiyan modes. Reminds me of what I enjoyed the least of SCV.
Probably doesn't help that all the reveals in the trailer were expected, but watching it left me feeling a little flaccid.

What would your reaction be if we got guest characters from Dragon Ball FighterZ? They wouldn't necessarily be out of place, since their large ki blast attacks could be relegated to Critical Edge.

No. Charade was only playable in 2. But I have multiple faves after him.

So I've been having this 'discussion' with a guy on Twitter about Maxi's sexuality (even though it's still unconfirmed) and he's pretty triggered for no reason:
In the end he had pretty much run out of any credibility and then reverted to the whole insult parade. Surprise, surprise. Who would have thought the people getting so worked up over the idea of Maxi being gay would respond like this?
