Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

No Bamco games ever announce the content of their season passes (besides day one DLC) before release.
Why everyone expects them to do it different this time all of a sudden?

Because other non-Bamco fighting games have done so (people aren't always thinking under the lens of Bamco) AND Bamco has done it before sometimes such as with Negan. Also, there is no obvious reason why Bamco needs to stick to that practice either.

The problem is trying to segregate all CaS players due to a few bad apples. I know there are whole styles I enjoy but can't stand the character they are attached to for example. I'd be stuck either playing the character I don't like in ranked or never using that character in ranked or not playing ranked at all. Which to be fair I don't currently but am considering. I kind of want to learn to be a bit more competitive this time around.

It's tricky though, because I doubt overtime that it would just be a few "bad apples". A competitive scene lends itself towards people choosing the most optimal solutions. And how would one differentiate people just trying to maximize distraction and hitboxes versus someone legitimately trying to be creative for the fun of it? That's why I think having a Free Ranked and a Standard Ranked is a good idea. It's the most fair and reasonable solution.

Whatever benefits can be reaped from CaS in ranked are likely to be minimal. True skill will always win out in the end of the day, and its still a level playing field when we all have access to the same stuff. I think all this drama is a bit over the top.

Why don't we focus on how awesome it will be when footage starts to surface of very skilled players ranking top 10 with highly detailed original characters they have made? Won't that be an awesome thing to behold? Think of the variety we'll see. Why don't we celebrate that and stay positive?

And there's no reason why bamco can't patch an option in the future for non CaS ranked if it gets demanded enough by fans. Let's all chill and stay focused on our excitement for this coming Friday!

This isn't some weird bogeyman though that people are creating. It's been proven in literally almost every competitive game to take out the more distracting and abuse-able aspects of customization in the serious ranked modes because this can really erode and the sensation of fairness.

How many CAS characters were even in the top ranks in SCV? Like was it all dicks on bongo drums at A1 or was it standard characters and color edits
 
Fuzzy dicks and bongo drums are part of why we lost items along with DLC. At least the latter should be given back... Note the lack of tails or the drums.
 
I get both people that want and don’t want CaS in ranked, they both have valuable reasons.
However, I don’t mind CaS in ranked as I never saw anything weird in SCV, or atleast I can’t remember besides a guy with drums.
Also, don’t expect bamco to take CaS out of ranked.
 
It seems like there are no armor breaks in Soul Chronicle, no idea if that implies that there may be an option to turn it off in the other modes of the the game.

Oh yeah, did we find out conclusively whether armor break has any actual gameplay effect? Like doing more damage or guard damage to the broken part?

Pretty sure the current thought is that it doesn't do anything until you are down to nothing. Once at nothing you are arrested for indecent exposure.

Blind Season Passes are awful , like Season Pass could be Lizardman , Berserker and Dampierre. You get no humanoid male that adds nice costume parts or female characters that the roster is lacking on. You can use $30 on something else that is more transparent.

This, guys.
I don't wanna waste my money blindly and I'm almost sure that I'm not the only one. They should use this last week to tease (at least) the season pass content.

You know because of this comment I can now say fully there is no way they won't have both a male and female character specifically for those reasons. They will want to give equal customization parts to both genders which means 50 for males and 50 for females (for the customization pack). Honestly it would make the most sense.

Also just as a reclarification the leaks of the past were not wrong. Hwang and Lizardman are definitely in the game we just were not sure if they would be playable and we (and the leakers) possibly jumped to conclusions. The leaks from 4chan and Vergeben were likely both from the voice acting department which is why the original list with lizardman and hwang were changed for the second one...not because they were being made DLC but because they weren't going to be full characters). Before that list released Cassandra would have probably been on the list because if you look back we have evidence of knowing she would be receiving voice lines. I believe the DLC characters are still completely up in the air and we do not actually know (for certain) who they will be.

If however they are going for one male and one female character chances are quite high that it will be for Yun-Seong (or Hwang if they took in account the most talked about of the two characters) and Cassandra as those are the next two highest in the poll of the male and female characters respectively. (Amy is #13 while Cassandra is #12 and Yun-Seong is #14).

In my greatest hopes assassin and lizardman would be unlockable characters (like they were in II) which means we could get someone we are not expecting.

I think there is also a high chance that the season pass characters will be at least teased if not revealed on release.
