Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

[AMillionHP]

You know... now that i think back on it, i never once tried Rock's moveset on a female CAS to see how that would look/feel. Nor do i recall ever running into one online. Fighting Rock was rare enough as it is.

Plus, there's no freaking way they'd not put in a female character for "being too sexual" because just look at the female cast that's already in the game. "Too sexual" probably isn't even in the vocabulary.

We get it. You want another female character. Move on.

Well i guess they may not want too many of the females designed like that though.

Not saying, just saying.

And wth does the second one even mean?

 

[ElegantRaven]

Literally every girl in the game has been sexualised in some way or another so far lol. Maybe except for Xianghua. They couldn't care less if every woman in this game has their bare tits out.

Not really felling Azewls Japanese voice

Yeah, I guess I can finally say that I'm not a fan of a Japanese voice actor from SoulCalibur.

 

[Maedhros]

Personally, I have always held the Japanese voices in a much higher regard than the English ones (at least when it comes to Soul Calibur). They simply have outstanding voice acting schools and their actors are honed through movie dubbing and scores upon scores of anime.

However... Every now and then comes an Azwel to make me question my preferences. :) I look forward to fighting and listening to him. ^^

Considering who gave them the idea for a muscular dark-skinned female character, I'm glad they never went with her. I'd enjoy having a character with that description on the roster, but not one inspired by a hentai artist. God knows what kinda dumpster fire of a design she'd get.

Why not? Many great artists began as a doujinshi artist (for instance Nobuteru Yūki). He is my favorite artist of all time.
In my opinion if anything they should take inspiration from Nobuteru itself for that new character (just look at Pirotess... probably the hottest dark skinned thing I've seen in Anime). Not only feminine, sexy and hot but also strong and good with the sword:

At night she looks even better. No wonder she is the main reason why dark skinned character became a trend since then:

Spoiler

I would throw money at them just to see Pirotess and Ashram the Black Knight as a Guest.
Both characters would make sense in a SoulCalibur game (I would preffer them over 2B anytime), don't you agree?

Ashram is the man

Takuji Kawano was clearly inspired by this way of presenting the caracters in order to make art for characters in SoulCaliburVI.
Another example of what I am saying... Here we have Parn the hero from Record of Lodoss War

More examples within the Spoiler:

PS 1. Open the Spoiler before this phrase or you'll loose the opportunity to see what's the meaning of art.

In fact, Record of Lodoss War franchise has inspired many things.
I would say Sophitia took inspiration from the Lady of Pharis:

Spoiler

PS 2. The art for this one was made by Akihiro Yamada, another great artist who is a great reference for aesthethically appealing muscular characters.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

When you say "muscular dark skinned" I imagine this:

And... I don't want a character like that xD

I mean, the dark skinned elf JMSLionheart posted is good for a SC character (elf or not elf), but I don't see her as "muscular"

I'd believe that Rock died when his soul was drained by the Grand Priest to produce Astaroth, rather than to see a dark skinned big muscled female character be in the game. If she is in the game and to be formally alledged the replacer of Rock, I'd go to Japan to tear Okubo's soul into pieces.

I hope SC 5 is the last game for replace characters :c

 

[SomeRandomHuman]

Why do you want a mimic like Inferno to be playable?

Because if he is in the game (and he is, as he was shown in a flashback of SB-time in the very first trailer as an in-game model), then there is no reason for him to not be playable. Of course it would've been better if he was his own character with a mix of Night, Serv and Terror movesets (probably even with some of Algol, he is the embodiment of SE after all and sticking miniSEs from his body would be quite natural), but if he is a mimic - so be it. He is already done and there is no sensible reason to not allow players to use him (besides there is a few people that actually wouldn't mind having one mimic in the roster).

I hope Azwel's hair is unisex in CaS.

I hope that all hair are.

but not one inspired by a hentai artist

I'm of the opposite opinion on the matter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I just hope that she'll use some more or less original weapon, for example using macuahuitl or chained mace (which she swings with ease and uses brutally, because of being "tall and muscular" and all) would be pretty cool.

 

[WindupSkeleton]

I can't believe I have to say this but you can't be linking to porn (Or NSFW stuff like that) here. Wow.

 

[Nyte]

I wouldn't mind if they made a mimic as a CAS-exclusive style, like Devil Jin.

hentai artists often have a much better understanding of anatomy, female sensuality and a better attention to detail than others. This guy definitely knows what he is doing. Unfortunately, Pirotess looks just like a dark skinned caucasian woman, hairstyle and clothing included (I know she is an elf). She doesnt look like a poc and including anyone similar to her in the roster would be a waste of opportunity to include more variety with someone ethnic and appropriate for the setting and would additionally probably be seen as offensive.

You can get lean and not bulky...

Genzebe Dibaba

Patricia Mamona

I hope that helps to change your conception about muscular women xD...

More image references within spoiler (I am a fan of Dibaba, she looks stunning). By the way she is Ethiopian. It would be nice to have a new female character from there for SCVI... just saying xD

Spoiler

Nadia Wemboluan has an eye candy physique too

Spoiler

Another fine example is Brittne Babe on Youtube

Sorry for the kinda off-topic. But well, I believe it was needed for clarification. To sum up, what I mean is that a dark skinned muscular female character would be a welcome addition to the roster if done right, that's for sure.

For now, I would just focus on the already known characters that must return.

PS. Again, I insist sorry for the off-topic. If moderators believe this should be moved to another topic so be it, let me know. Thanks.
