Not that i ever doubted her return anyways, but TY! ♥
 
@Hayate

Two more questions:

  • Are While Landing moves back?
  • Has the number of attacks that we can G-cancel increased?

I'm really, really concerned about the viability of mixups. I don't want SoulCalibur to become a game of hesitation like DOA.

Thanks for the Taki leak, BTW. I'm particularly curious to know which post-SC1 and/or unpopular characters are in at this point.
 
Hope everyone had a great holiday!

I hope we get as many strings as possible in SCVI, they were always a good way to mix up gameplay and lead into different follow up combos.

That's the thing. From what is being shown right now, there are no mixups. Not with GI covering all levels and the way RE seems to work. This will be even more prevalent with strings that lead into stance transitions. You have to understand these Lost Swords strings don't jail so if you let loose you're possibly setting yourself up to get that shit bounced back at you.

Doesn't RE have a time window, so maybe, it works somewhat similar to JG, with a much wider window, thought it does rather spamable

I don't think they are the same as LS strings tho, they look like traditional strings, LS had a lot of automatic strings.

Also, hopefully, right now they are using a earl build like they did with gameplay trailers for IV and V, so GI could have mid/high and low animations again.

Let's hope for Taki that she will look Japanese again:

Taki's SCIV design always bothered me because she didn't even look remotely Japanese. She looked straight up Mediterranean or Eastern European if anything. I know that Japanese people are drawn to and love Western features because it's exotic to them, and that is fine and all to have preferences, but there's a time and a place for that kind of thing.
Redesigning Taki to not even look Japanese anymore was strange and unnecessary.
For example, I would be less fussed if they create a new Japanese character who doesn't really look that Japanese, because they're new and who knows what the hell their ethnic background could fully be since we don't have to necessarily know, so there's wiggle room.... versus taking an existing character and making them look like they aren't even what they are or used to be anymore, out of nowhere.
That is too damn jarring and noticeable to overlook when done.

What is funny about this is that Setsuka who's been adopted in Japan but is Western native looked more Asian than Taki in SC4, Taki aka the Japanese Kunoichi icon.

In her 2D artwork she looked great though, but for some reason her 3D model didn't follow her 2D portrait. (& Taki isn't the only example in this aspect.)

Not sure if this has been brought up, but the line "Just as shadows are cast where there is light, history hides away more than one truth" in the first trailer is actually old, and was used in some SCV trailers:
1:43.

The Lost Sword/Lost Sword type strings are definitely in there. And the timing for JG won't matter as it's just a one button press away and it can be thrown out at anytime since it doesn't use any resources. Like I said though, I'm taking the wait and see approach and reserving judgment until the game comes out. Although I heavily wanna see something happen with how RE can be used. I already don't care for the way it breaks up the pacing of the match and I can see it making some matches intolerable to play/watch.
 
Never cared enough to check, but yea that's odd. Would've never guessed that with his Elvis style and all.
