Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

A few modest thoughts.
So we have 20 slots = one for custom, one for guest, one for mimic, one for a random pick+ 16 main chars.
16 slots are very few, along with the Groh, this is not enough for all the characters SC2 and SC3 (Zas from SC3).
taking into account the current speed of production of heroes, even 16 heroes this is not earlier than September. as promised on the Amazon.
If they increase the number of heroes, they will not make it to Christmas. and Christmas is the best time for the release of games, as the games are presented as a gifts, and their sales are greatly enhanced.
the most logical conclusion is that they will act as in the SF, a basic set of 16 heroes. All other characters - additional seasons for an additional fee.

Something irks me about how some characters have designs from previous games and others don’t.

Might as well play a guessing game:
  • Will Maxi have sleeves or no sleeves?
  • Will Astaroth wear just the speedo and some armor here or there?
  • Will Cervantes look human or undead?
Also kind of curious what kind of emblem Talim, Tira, Cassandra, and Maxi would have. I can kind of guess the other designs (spider for Voldo and Kraken or Jolly Roger for Cervantes.) Tira could get an ouroboros since I think one of her weapons had that motif or ravens. Maxi may get a dragon. Only realized a few days ago Taki would have a demon face and guess what?

Mitsurugi’s tiger kind of makes me have more doubts about the Korean trio.

He's been alternating back and forth, so by that alone he should have no sleeves this time around. However, pretty much every character except for Siegfried is a redesign of their SC1 costume, and SC1 Maxi has sleeves. Hard to tell. My guess is he will have sleeves.

As with Maxi, I'm expecting a redesign of his SC1 outfit, which looked like this.

Hardest to answer of the three, since his looks actually have plot significance. He's human in SC1, but undead in SE, SC2, and SC3. Based on those odds the safest bet is probably undead, but my gut tells me that once again we're getting an SC1 redesign.
 
Maybe the alts being under wraps have to do with them possibly being designs at other periods within the game. Like one of the Cervantes costumes being undead while the other is human.

I’m guessing Maxi has his SC1 outfit without the sleeves this time.

I'm assuming there's some kind of system where the character icons scale down so it can fit more or there's a icon which has a drop-down menu for more characters (like a DLC button). Around 20 characters overall would be disappointingly low. I can see there being 20 characters at launch and then a bunch of DLC characters though. Publishers love to charge for extra content.

YSo? A redesign of the costume and straight up reusing it are two different things.

1) why would you use a SC1 image as reference when you could have used the SC4 2p (done in a much higher quality) as a reference for a redesign?
2) They just did a call back to SC1 back in SC4. Wouldn't it make more sense to make a SC6 outfit based on a redesign from another outfit? (also, a paler version was shown in SCLS).
 
I feel like the blue executioner mask Astaroth may likely be the one they go with. I know it's a 2p, but it's the one that has been featured in the past two games as DLC, so that's the one they feel is iconic, it seems.
 
So, is Taki the only character to be confirmed (leaked) this Month? Any chances to see her finally Confirmed (by Namco this time lol) along another character tomorrow?

SNATCHED

The queen is back!!! I've been waiting for so long

Looks like Ivy's boobs ate Taki's boobs lol and I'm here for the smaller chest size on her! I am really happy with her outfit, her SC3 look is my favourite after her SC2 P2, and I really like the mask on her. It makes her look sort of like a bird of prey, which is fitting since she hunts demons and can soar through the sky. I don't get why people want the cloth mask again, it looked hideous and makes her look more dainty than a badass ninja imo but each to their own. I love how her SC moves look, hoping she has some hover/teleporting abilities stolen from Natsu, and I really enjoyed her CE. Hopefully they make it more explicit what she does to protect herself from the explosion whether it is teleporting or doing a cool stunt, and I wish it had a little more impact, but other than that I have no complaints.
 
Not sure about the aesthetic of Takis combat, i feel like it lacks grace, even in her soul edge, I was hoping to see some sort of sommersault.
 
Out of all the females Takis reveal has been the most disappointing, and I was looking forward to her. Her soul edge doesn't look finished!
 
This Taki artwork is the most beautiful that I saw, Taki femme fatale... really! the game model is very good to me, aesthetically good, they got it right, look how she looks chinese wonderful girl.
