Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

[Soul]

I'll solve the mystery of that tweet with my senses.... for 250$. PM me if you're interested.

 

[WuHT]

If feel like posting that image you've done to Okubo to get him to notice in a vain attempt to alter Talims proportions.

Well you are expressing a legitmate concern:

You could end up with this tekken gem:

Maybe inspired by real life:

To keep it soul calibur related:

The emphasis is on the WEAPONS, so you don't need those giant hands. Tekken on the other hand is unarmed combat, so the fists, n order to have proper hurt boxes, are sized up I presume.

"What, you don't like Talim's proportions? How about we make her muscle and skinhead instead?"

please tell me BT 2K's knocking down on NH is a universal mechanic again.

I think it would be a human thing to do to first care about the people there.

If these torrential rains cause a delay in the game I wouldn't be mad. Stay safe Project Soul people, stay safe.

 

[Project Bokuho]

These recent pages...What the hell kind of drugs are you guys on? xD

I would however be mad if they decided to push an unfinished game through instead of delaying it if necessary. The people in trouble come first game comes second but is no excuse for pushing out an unfinished game.

By Jolly I think you've got it! We've been looking at this all wrong. It is not the contents of the tweet that matters but the fact it is a "tweet". Which character in the series is tied closely to birds. Tira. What do birds do? Tweet. What was she a member of before joining in SCIII? The Birds of Passage. There is further 'evidence' to suggest Tira is next beyond this though. For example the tweet was split into multiple pieces and which character do we know is bipolar or has multiple personality disorder? Tira. It could also be Ocladan but likely no one wants him so I'll just ignore that possibility.

No need for @Soul -- I think you've cracked the code! -tweets on-

Tell that to Harada, even though SC5 still outsold his tired game

Oh man I remember the "Updo" hairstyle (it came from Setsuka's 2-Player) Yeah, I was so disappointed that they didn't bring that hairstyle back. You know, I don't know why they didn't just keep all the 1-Player / 2-Player hairstyles from Soul Calibur 4 and included them in Soul Calibur 5. I mean why not? They could've been left as a customization items for CAS and they were running on the same Unreal Engine 4 system I believe so it's not like they couldn't have easily transferred them over. I mean they brought back Taki's Ponytail so I mean... Gah, just another reason why SCV was lacking with the DLC content lol

I would pay at least €40 (or more) for full and complete sets of all Soul Calibur P1 and P2 costumes + all costumes/parts from CAS from SC 3 to SC 5, no guys, NO

and tbh i was hoping that because SC is over 20 years old we could get some love from the devs and we got this for free but i think its not going to happen ... it would be nice tho...

Amy into Viola

IMHO. just keep Raphael, fix him and make Amy Viola.

Big objects draw attention to them. The reason why Street Fighter, and every other fighting game out there has all their characters with large limbs and extremeties is because they're trying to draw attention to them. So that the focus of player is paying attention to what's coming at their character and that their focus isn't being drawn elsewhere. That's why games also blur their backgrounds and make sure the characters stand out so it easier to follow. There's a number of other things that they do; for example, wide stances. Making sure everyone can see the weapon a character is wielding. All of this is intentional and has been around for a long, incredibly long, time.

Can anyone link me some good Ivy gameplay. So far her and maxi are the funnest to watch imo

As someone who got a lot of mileage out of playing both Amy and Viola, the options at hand are equally distressing and promising to me.

Going back to something Windstar mentioned pages back, one thing worth noting when thinking about the characters that might be added to the roster is comparing the amount of slots available on the select screen with the amount of names that are listed on the story mode screenshot.




Barring any other further alterations to both, the select screen only has nine slots left (when you add Talim), while the story mode screen has six blurred names (not including one that presumably will go to Talim). This means that of the nine characters left in the roster, at the very least three of them will not even have a story mode to be accessed. This predicament just reminds me of the unlockable boss/story-exclusive characters from SCV that were Alpha Patroklos, Pyrrha Omega, and the mimics (Kilik/Elysium/Edge Master).

For certain I can say that three of the six slots left will likely be Astaroth, Cervantes, and Voldo (surprise surprise), but if I had to guess on the last three slots? Raphael (brought Siegfried out of Soul Edge's control), Tira (joining Zasalamel to represent SC3 and be an ample part of both Nightmare and Sophitia's storylines), as well as Lizardman (the story mode screenshot everyone likes to reference; plus a sword and shield character that's different from Sophitia in the same way that Pyrrha and Patroklos were? What a concept). Grøh's father might end up being an unlockable boss character, or one of them.

I looked at couple of Talim trailers from other channels and they all have comments like " I will buy this now that Talim is here !" is this the power of the wind ??

I do have qualms about the eyes, they seem a bit too far apart. Something like this would've been perfect:

And the full art if people want it:

I felt that looked off and was curious how it would look if her eyes were more centered in that art. They're too far apart in the actual, so that looks much better.

I was kinda hoping Talim would get a really unique look but they played it safe with updating her classic look which is cool. Also is it me or are her proportions just a bit larger than the rest of the cast. Just compare her to Xianghua, her head, arms, legs all look bigger and really uncanny, it's like she should have been a few inches shorter but that probably screwed with the hit spheres so they just enlarged everything about her.

Basically repeating what's already been said, but between her height, hands, and head size, I can't shake the observation of her simply looking "off" given how short she is actually supposed to be.

Update : He is finished ! Look at this beast !View attachment 49723

Arby's completely embodies eat-sports. They need to get on the sponsorship game.

When you look at how Arby's interacts and posts on social media, it's a genuine surprise that they haven't pulled a Red Bull and gotten themselves on the esports sponsorship train.

@Vergeben: A bit HS, i've seen your SFV leak, quite interesting ;)

I don't know if you heard what I most recently said, but I had another person who's well connected tell me that they only know about Makoto and a new character being in Season 4 among its 6 characters, while 2 characters will be free DLC. But not counted among those 6, so it would be 8 characters overall.
So there could be some kind of truth in the middle there between both sources, which I think is what's really happening.

Meaning that Viper, Necro, Q, Oro, Sodom, Makoto, and two new characters (FANG's apprentice Phantom seems to be one) will all be coming as Season 4 characters, but 2 of them are free, as opposed to the original plan I'd heard where 4 would've been free.
So 6 are DLC among those, while 2 free.
I doubt either of the two new characters would be free. So it'd whittle down to Sodom and Q being free since the first source said Viper, Oro, Q, Necro, and Sodom, while the other they were unaware of until after eventhubs already picked the story up. I had someone on reddit tell me they heard about Phantom, and I checked with them if they heard the same, and they said Phantom is the newcomer they heard about. Which makes it all so much more interesting.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's what winds up happening with those 2 (Sodom and Q) in particular being free when I put it all together.
I current don't know who the second newcomer is from the other source yet, because they're not sure yet either.

In short, it looks like SFV's Season 4 will be an 8 character season; 6 DLC, 2 free. Meaning 6 veterans, 2 newcomers.
The mere fact that I've constantly had the insistence of there being free characters on the way for as long as I have means there has to be smoke to that fire, even if it has since had the plan changed from 4 free to 2 free.

Capcom likes money, so them going with only giving out 2 for free, and characters originally planned to be free changed to paid.... well, it's Capcom. It's not surprising in the least that they'd alter their original course a little if they can make a little bit more in the process.
Viper, Necro, Q, Oro have been planned and worked on a while ago at this point from the sounds of things (before Season 3 was even decided). And with only 2 more characters to release for Season 3, they're going to do something concerning Season 4's announcement sooner than usual it seems too since too much of the year still remains.

Oh, and I heard that preliminary work on Street Fighter VI is underway, but is in the very early stages. SFV will remain a focus for Capcom until at least 2020/2021 still despite that from what I was told.

But Big V, what about more Calibur leaks?

HELP US, THE STARVING CHILDREN OF THE INTARWEBZ WHO DESIRE THE MEATY MORSELS OF SOUL CALIBUR KNOWLEDGE.

We have 2 katanas and 2 long sword, we can also have 2 rapiers, so no I don't agree with you, maybe you don't need it but I do.
But that's just me, I'll always disagree with that argument :p

Hayate seems to have a lot of infos about the Roster I'm guessing that it should be the same for Verge, one of them will help us right? :p
