Yeah, i get where you are saying--I'm just trying to be clear that I think the hierarchy of likelihoods are something like this: We get a Season Three, starting next year (60% chance); We don't get get a Season Three because Namco has decided under the circumstances it is not a worthwhile investment (39.9%); We don't get a Season Three because Namco is already planning SCVII (<.1%). As to whether wrapping up shop early on SCVI could hasten SCVII a little bit, even if it is still years away, I suppose that is not impossible, but even a developer as big as Namco only plans so many years ahead.
Season Four certainly is unlikely-bordering-on-ludicrous-to-even-speculate-about, but I think it's more about stretching the interest of the install base than the character selection. I'm not saying you are wrong: you're absolutely correct that much of the remaining cast by then carries only so much weight with the fan base. I think the right guest could compensate for that some, but after Season Three there's just not much hope of buy in to make the content worth producing--especially considering we'd be a couple years into the next generation by then (although as of this week, rumors are flaying that PS5 will be almost 100% compatible with PS4 games, for what that is worth).
That was a mercy kill--so much of what the Kokonoe clan do makes no sense that we can only presume they are a group of inbred hill people using the most illogical form of swordsmanship ever (50% keeping your sword sheathed as much as possible, 50% weak reverse grip strikes), who have somehow convinced themselves they are elite assassins because they were able to beat up on their equally ineffective cousins. Mitsu probably felt unclean around guy number five who barely got his sword out, but who can deny he's sparring the world some flipper babies?
I’d be okay with a switch port but NO exclusive guests, and especially no on taking another characters spot, be it a guest or otherwise. They already used Link once before so I doubt they would use him again. And even if they did he wouldn’t even be allowed in tournaments once again since console exclusive characters are generally banned from competitive play. This was the same deal for Kratos in MK9.
It's likely that Hwang will be the last character for Season 2. Do you have any expectations of him?Okay, I am bored today so let me share my experience with the game so far...if it is alright with y'all.
Aside from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, this is one of the best games it has ever been my pleasure to play. Considering the DLC it has to offer currently, it makes me pretty glad I did not purchase on launch day.
Single-Player Modes: 6 outta 10. This is really the only part about SCVI that I am indifferent towards. See, unlocking Inferno was the first thing I did. The Soul Chronicle was normal difficulty to me. All the fights I went through, I never lost a single round. Libra of Souls appears to be a good story mode, but I was not going to bother.
Character Creation: 8.5 outta 10. This what got me into this series in the first place. It is nice one can choose from 16 different races, but I am used to the human race. Placing stickers is pretty tricky, which is just one gripe I have. Other than that, the DLC parts to date have made this mode worth using. Again, it was a blessing for me to not buy this game on launch day.
Network Mode: no rating. I was not going pay for playing online. Besides, online modes never interested me and even if I wanted to I would probably get my ass kicked 50 times in a row.
VS. Mode: As this is where I spend a good bit of time, I will not bother rating it.
Training Mode: 9 outta 10. This is where I spend most of my time, aside from Character creation. Doing combos is pretty fun, though damage scaling is difficult to follow and it sucks anyway compared to, say, Tekken 4.
My Overall Rating of SCVI...8.5 outta 10! By the way, SSBU got that same rating from me.Tira - 8.5 outta 10. Play-style is starting to interest me, so I shall look into her some more.
2B - 8 outta 10. Was thinking about maining her, but now that my girlfriend Setsuka is back, I had second thoughts.
Amy - 8.5 outta 10. Such a beautiful outfit this time around and quite useful creation parts from it.
Cassandra - 9 outta 10. One of my most-used characters, so why not?
Hilde - 7.5 outta 10
Haohmaru - 7 outta 10
Setsuka - 9.5 outta 10. Considering she is my girl, y'all should of seen this coming. Just like the 50,000 other players out there, I am glad she has returned. Just like in the past, graceful yet tech-skill-intensive combos that we love to see. If you ask me, it is going to be like playing Peach in Ultimate (who, by the way, has been my main for the longest time in Smash)...sort of. Such an elegant costume she has even though her SC3 ones are the best in my book.
Murakumo Shrine Grounds - 10 outta 10. It looks almost looks like one of those stages outta SC2. But I love it here and am gonna call it my home-stage for my OCs.
Gairyu Isle - 9 outta 10. Another Japan-based stage? Wonderful! This may be another home-stage for my OCs.
Character Creation Packs - 7 outta 10. For each one, certain parts, as well as most hit effects, look good to me. I can care less about the rest since I make elegant female characters. Personally, I think the Tiger Lily Gauntlets should have stayed gender-locked to females like in SCIV, and it is a shame they did not port over the Tekken outfits they had in SCV. But anyway...with the possible exception of Character Creation Pack D, everything checks out for me.
One more thing...
I wouldn't mind him as a season 3 character. Aside from guests, we haven't had a single original character for DLC yet. If he uses a HEMA lance, spear, halberd, or poleaxe weapon he could be pretty interesting.
omg yes, he would look good in Girardot dramatic lance style, would be look funny if he borrow some moves and of course bring new ones.
