Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

[Leonhart]

Nerfing Voldos mantis crawl was logical, but so many other tweaks come out of the blue. It's not like they are minor adjustments either, some totally changes combo outcomes and creates new punish openers and that's a huge deal. Seems like they are switching things around like confused monkeys in a banana stand.



Sidenote:
I have a new appreciation for Ivy having seen her voice actress. I'll be chuckling good as I remember this mug when she squalls her comments in matches.

This patch has ruined Sophitia for me. She got far too many nerfs for being a high-mid character pre-1.11

I couldn’t agree more 1 AA doesn’t wall combo any more I can’t A+B against a Talim CE with out risk and Astaroth has become considerably hard to beat and FC236 k can’t Lethal hit from a crushed throw anymore.

They should honestly just buff the characters that are struggling why the fuck do they have to tamper with characters that are mediocre.

What pisses me off the most about Sophie’s 1 AA change is their reasoning as if taki’s 1 A Doesn’t get spammed online either.
It’s those kind of nerfs that are guaranteed to kill this game.

Seriously if they’re nerfing based on spam might as well delete Ivy and Aswell is so so stupid.

In most instances they could just lower the damage. Constantly fiddling with the mechanics is a far more dangerous route.

I had a bad dream last night.

Cassandra was revealed. everything about her was perfect. She looked cute, her moveset was awesome. But then they showed her CE, and it was stupid!! She basically summoned some kind of inflatable horse (?) that countered the opponent.

needless to say, I was very sad and disappointed and then I went to this site to see the reaction. then my dream switched topics.

:(

Ok, but tell us the release date already!

The inflatable horse part made me think of Nightmare's CE. Now I'm sitting here giggling like an idiot at the thought of Nightmare's CE being this:

the release date was last night in my dream!! ;)

haha!! maybe Nightmare's CE did influence my dream. maybe also the Trojan Horse since Cassie is Greek.

also, I think my dream was influenced in part by my fear that Cassie will indeed get some kind of stupid CE involving a "butt attack." since that was her CE in IV and that felt out of place there, too.

 

[JohnMcKee]

INB4 her CE will use the horse's butt from now on

 

[Soul]

So we should expect her (And Amy's) reveal at EVO JPN? Hmmm... that's 15th of feb. I hope that's also when they'll be available lol. Dammit i just want them to tease Season 2 already.

 

[Soul Knight]

they need to finish teasing Season 1 first...….lol.

but yeah, revealing them at Evo Japan on Feb 15 seems likely. but the day before, Feb 14 is also Valentines Day. and also a Thursday, which seems to be the day they like to reveal stuff.

so maybe we can get Cassie as a Valentine's Day gift??

 

[AMillionHP]

Waitaminute evo jpn is in feb? This whole time i thought it was jan. Sonofabitch i was thinking we'll get the reveals this month.

 

[Soul Knight]

evo japan is feb 15-17.

it would be nice if we got a reveal in Jan, but they still need to release CAS pack 1. so that will prob come this month in the next few weeks. then they can reveal Cass in Feb with hopefully a release not too far behind.

would be nice if they revealed both Cass and Amy just to get it out of the way.

 

[AMillionHP]

So what are people's thoughts on the code names? Is everyone here running with the assumption they are in fact related to the characters? Or could they be just purposely selected to throw us off with no relation to the characters?

 

[Soul Knight]

I'd like to think the code names are clues to the characters.

imo, it's worse to give people false ideas/hope by using codenames that are just fake outs.

They outright put Cassandra and Amy in the files, so I doubt they'd start with fake outs now.

Doesn't mean they'll all mean what we think they mean though.

Hmm
If i think about that, "yell" is the odd one here. Hilde may yell a lot but her name does not mean yell. No one's name means that.

We have a match from the future:

Yeah, it's definitely the odd fit, but I don't think there's much doubt about it. All characters shout a great deal, but only one of them has actual "yelling" sounds that serve as his main "phrases" at the beginning of battle: Mr. "HOOOOOOO!" and "WAAASSAAAA!" himself, Li Long. Also, if we assume that every other character is the one whose name is a translation or synonym of the codename, then that means that we know that they are adding literally every other one of the 31 main roster characters introduced in the first four games. What are the chances that they would do that and then leave just one character out? 'YELL' is Li Long--I'd bet dollars to doughnuts on it.

We have a match from the future:

Yeah, there used to be more of them; I can only presume that moving your machine's date forward allows you to glitch the play date, but they have been cleaning them up.

No one's name means 'yell', but deuxhero pointed this out in the DLC thread:

Yell is more likely ダンピエール (Dampierre. The last three characters on their own are how "yell" is transliterated to Japanese. Transliteration to kana is weird like that.) than Hilde.

I'm a little bit hesitant to think it's Dampierre since Namco would have to be absolutely crazy to bring him back as paid DLC (again), let alone put him in a Season Pass where you don't know what you're paying for, but they've proven me wrong before. I'll be slightly okay with it if he isn't a useless joke character this time. Who knows, maybe this will be the "Forgotten/Unliked Characters who are Getting a Second Chance (and Setsuka)" DLC pack.
