Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

[Nyte]

A bit sad it seems to be a waifu only season pass. I wish my Lizard came back.

Having said this I hope they can get to a S2 with 6 characters. Let's pray for Project Soul.

Waifus sell. Just look at Overwatch.

But yeah, we really need Season 2 with six characters and more content. I hope they announce it after this is done.

Wow really? So what's the point of flapjack now?

Now it's only for switching side i guess lol

Exactly. Some of these nerfs are excessive to the point of incompetence.

Could have just made the move slower.. but that?? It better still wallsplat or it is completely useless

 

[LostSoul_83]

Had the game hang on me for the first time today, post patch 1.10.

Was in creation and as soon as I clicked on mock battle I got blue screen error with the game closing instantly. Sent error report.

Ps4 pro.

 

[damn-I-Suck]

So apparently the game updated while it was off and it didn't even tell me when I started the ps4. I was thinking it was coming late for me for some reason, and then low and behold, my flapjack didn't ring out. So it must have updated.

Online is still laggy and the wait times for opponents is WTF

 

[SSfox]

So Taki can't be mixed up anymore

I also notice that GI timing changed quite a bit.

Check your ping first. If it is, reset your router and then try again. Ideal results are around or below 40ms (if you don't know).

A plus side to having all four DLC characters be female is that it makes the game less of a sausage fest. Before there were only 6 females out of 20, now there's 10 out of 24. A bit better imo.

 

[SSfox]

Did they say anything about adding FT in Casual matches?

 

[JohnMcKee]

If Amy really is confirmed... yay! ^^

That much is true, after keeping thought on the SP matter. Out of guys we're only missing what, Lizardman, Hwang/Yun and Rock? And one is a beast. Then you could count Edgemaster and Algol I guess. Bonus points for ZWEI

However girls... Let's see:
-Cass
-Amy
-Setsuka
-Hilde

Bonus points for Viola.

And then again we got Azwel and Groh as new characters and not a single new girl/woman.

 

[Heniek]

That flapjack change is questionable at best. It was already extremely easy to break out of this throw and I don't even play night/sieg

 

[damn-I-Suck]

Amy?!?

Oh no, not this again. Raphael is not trash in this game we don't need amy

 

[SSfox]

i'm honestly surprise they go for Amy instead of Hilde, Setsuka, or Hwang. Glad for the fans, maybe they had a new vision for the character and they wanted to explore it?

What piss me in the other hand is the idea that Setsuka may never EVER be in a good Soul Calibur game and that really sucks a lot. Please Give us Season 2 with Setsuka and Zwei. PLEASE.

 

[Nyte]

Setsuka, yes. Z.W.E.I.? Hell no.

 

[sytus]

If we are to have more characters with a possible Season 2 it's best to keep within the golden age instead of poaching from the new generation.

 

[SSfox]

I felt in love with Zwei/Ein unique zoning style, and he had the best 2P outfit ever.

But honestly i can live without Zwei, as i also already know that his chances were always been ultra low anyway, but no Setsuka well that would sucks a lot. Guess it will depends on how Bamco are satisfied or not with actual sales.

I imagine they are. It's only behind SCII and SCIV, and in this day and age that means a lot. SC has a lot of casual appeal and it's been put back on track, it'd be dumb to can it now.
