Soul Calibur 6 Discussion

I did not like her SC4 face. I get that they were trying to differentiate her face more from Sophitia's but I think they went a bit too far and made them look no longer related. They also made her look a bit like a pug imo. I much prefer her SC3 face and that's not even getting into her costumes...

Cassandra's SCII P1 was awful imo, but her P2 was great and her P3 was alright too. I didn't like her P1 in SCIII either, but her P2 was great. In SCIV the opposite was true, I loved her P1 but hated her P2.

I hope Famitsu reveals new characters. I remember Astaroth and Viola being revealed in SCV through them.

I thought it was through a TGS trailer?

 

[Nyte]

Are you sure? I specifically remember them being revealed in the TGS trailer. I could be wrong and have missed a leak before that trailer tho...

I'm very curious as to how they're going to handle CaS. I really feel they should give the 1p and 2p's for creation. Also since Sophie's hair gets loose, is there an option to use that version of the hair or is it restricted to it being broken only?

I really hope they take their time with this. I want this game to come out right. No rush.

We at least have something to look forward to so our wait isnt in vain

I think they should go the SCIV route of giving us the P2 outfits (and hopefully SCVI has P3 outfits so those as well) as CAS pieces, but leaving the P1 outfits as just for that character bc I think it would be jarring seeing a CAS character in another character's most iconic gear.
(take a shot every time I say character)

Still though, I think it should be used because everyone loves to use pieces of it. I know I did. Why limit it? Besides remember the character packs from V? I was so annoyed the rest of the outfits were never released.

I can't play a damn Videogame since SC6 was announce!!

To catch up on everything:
-Xiba's personality was like Taki and Sophitia, total inexistent in SCV
-DLC costumes are fine as long as it's not the P1 and P2 that are already in the game, these ones should be included right away. Wanna put SCV costumes as DLC? Fine.
-It's gonna be long until Tuesday for the potential reveal...

Ahhh I don't know. I'm on the fence. If CAS was banned from online tournaments then yes okay P1 costumes in CAS too, but if not then... I don't wanna see someone using Taki's demon spaulders or Ivy's bodysuit or Hilde's griffon armour in unfashionable ways. It would ruin the armour piece to see it on an ugly character for me but I guess I'm the only one so I'll live with it.

I wonder if they'll have DLC skins for weapons. You could be lazy and just change the texture file, or release completely different models for weapons.

Should be ez money for Namco.

Her 2p outfits were usually her best (until SC4 which was also her worst imo). I liked her 1p outfit in SC2 though, it just needed a few improvements. I especially liked the 2p outfit in SC3 as it wasn't so jarringly different to Sophitia's clothes, often Cassandra looks like she's from a completely different country and time period than her sister.

If she hopefully ends up in the game. I want them to use the good aspects from all her previous outfits, and fix her face.

I'd like to see some of the unused SCV costumes concept arts:

Especially belly dancer Viola & Octo-Voldo.

FOOOOOOD!

I can relate...

Not really sure, but Official Famitsu magazine should be in Week Ends i guess, If there are leaks few days before that'd tight!

That would be after the Namco event.

I hope they don't make stupid restrictions like in SC5. Mitsurugi can't wear a fundoshi? What the fuck!

Xiba has lots of personality, I have no idea what you're talking about. Sophitia also had some personality in SC4, not much, but it was something, Taki never had one, everything else I agree.

I second this for, uh... Reasons. Yeah, reasons.

;)

 

[Ryuhza]

Xiba's personality was like... all I want to do is eat and not train, but I'm really good with this staff for some reason. But not to worry, these overdone Journey to the West allusions will save me. FOOOOOOOOD!

Scientific purposes, of course.

First off, he didn't make many references to Journey, if at all, just his concept. Besides, yes, it is his personality to be lazy, and he represented it well enough, much more than most veterans of the series, which fail to show any hint of personality. The only thing that held him back was poor writing, which led to little screentime in the story.

One story change that needs to happen is that all of the characters need to focused around the two swords again. They should have their own reasons for either getting or destroying them, but the focus should still be on getting to Soul Calibur or Soul Edge. If they are no longer tied to the swords then their stories get weaker imo. Like Mitsurugi, after he realizes that he only has to rely on his own power his story essentially ended and the "worthy challenge" story isn't as good. Not all of them have to be directly after the swords (like Maxi), but more involved.

Yeah, if we're going for a more cinematic story we need the whole cast.

 

[Soul]

I don't get it. Being serious is a personality. If you don't like that, then that's fine. But calling characters like Taki, Siegfried, Sophitia, etc... as "not having any personality" is stupid and wrong.
