Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

[AMillionHP]

Tira is day 1 DLC because she was intended to be on the standard roster but didn't make it. She didn't make it because PS didn't meet whatever their projected deadline/budget was for completing the work (overtime and that sort of thing). They're not meeting their deadline due to other features available in the game that would also require a lot of extra work. I doubt this actually has anything to do with Tira specifically, they just didn't get everything done but Namco is probably keeping track of their employees logged hours and she was just selected for DLC.

Its kind of interesting to me when they decided to reveal her, right alongside the Libra/CAS reveal. Its almost as if they were attempting to answer everyone's complaints right there. Of course we should understand Okubo or anyone else can not directly say any of this.

I'm sure they stated before that she didn't make it in the roster, because she wasn't going to be in it. She was excluded, because they wanted to focus on the characters around SC1&2, with Zas as an exception, because of Libeia of Souls. She's in because of fan demand.

Yeah, i remember that being the official response but i don't really feel that adds up. The "bonus character" along with the remaining DLC was announced a long time ago.

fuck

info

wow

okay

now what?

 

[Norik]

complain about costumes and dlc until they show raphael

 

[Noctis]

Don't forget the roster size too :v The full Season Pass'll be enough to barely catch up to SC5 if you decide not to count Pyrrha and Opyrrha as separate.

Super random, but i just remembered an old wish while back when i played Assassin's Creed Black Flag, i loved this game so much, and wished Namco would do collaboration with Ubisoft to make a Soul Calibur game Spin Off with AC black flag engine where you play the tales of Cervantes, would have been so Fucking DOPE, i mean holy shieeeeeeeeet!!!

Also, why has no one mentioned Cervantes's model cracks don't match up with his art? The art has tree branch like cracks going up his face through his eyes and presumably further up his head beyond his hat; his 3d model just has these basic straight lines that look more like strange facial hair at first glance. And the cracks are a dull purple vs. a bright orange.

The color of the cracks change and become orange in Soul Charge I believe, I've definitely seen video footage of him changing them.

As for why the face ones don't match, no idea -- I thought it was a WIP build at Melbourne, but turns out otherwise.

So, it's pretty possible that we might not get joke weapons this time around. The museum mode showed 149 weapons, which is enough for 21 characters to have 7 weapons, with 2 left over (possibly 1P/2P weapons for Geralt?). Ivy's weapons were shown:

These weapons are Valentine (1P), Valentine (2P), Dream Blade, Alraune, Kaleidoscope, Viper Edge, and Soul Edge. No Fish Bones. It's mildly interesting that they left 1P/2P weapons in without having 2P outfits, at the cost of not having joke weapons, which have been a long-time tradition.

Either that, or joke weapons are exempt from the museum mode.

Edit: I actually made out a list, and unless the 21 characters is including Tira, then there's room for Azwel to have 7 weapons as well.
Maybe Geralt has a 2P weapon variant?

 

[Crimzin]

When it turns out that it's not DLC, we better make a list of "Silly people who thought this was the final roster and the spaces were being used as DLC when it clearly wasn't". You know, for reference.

I'm actually hoping they'll announce someone other than them, to finally shut down the fools who think this is the final roster.

Should never have called people "silly" or "fools" for being realistic.

Take this L

Awwww......

Can't say i'll miss the joke weapons, they were annoying and i'm glad the team didn't put time and effort into that.

I'll now concede that the Elysium alt. for Inferno is probably not a thing, seeing as there appears to be no Soulcalibur on Ivy's weapons. It really is too bad though, i thought they would do that.

Wow, today is huge. All game modes revealed on top of Cervantes!? What else will they have to reveal at TGS?? Raphael obviously, but isn't there supposed to be 2 trailers shown?

EDIT:

Just noticed, this screen blurs out 2 unrevealed characters, which judging by the colours I'm assuming one is Cervantes and the other is most likely Raphael but POSSIBLY Cassandra. Hard to say for sure since they both have similar hairstyles.

Moreover, the scroll bar on the right looks like it can scroll down 2 - 3 more more rows. Assuming each row is full that's 24-28 character slots and at the -very- least 21. Also it's unknown weather or not this includes dlc. Just thought it was worth mentioning.

I know I'm being negative, yet again, but no joke weapons, no Master, and no Soul Edge/Calibur variants makes me sad. I can't even hold out hope for DLC because the armor packs are what they say on the label. :/

Ivy having a Soul Edge variant opens the possibility that everyone will have a Soul Edge variant, to be used by the Inferno style. Or that it will be like SoulCalibur IV, where some characters will have a Soul Edge variant, some characters will have a Soul Calibur variant, and a select few like Talim and Kilik will have both. But I feel like everyone having a Soul Edge variant is more likely, as a throwback to SoulCalibur II.

Can't say i'm a fan of that though. There really should be a Soulcalibur variant for everyone as well if it is indeed like that.

 

[Rex Dart]

Or some characters have Soul Edge variants and some characters have Soul Calibur variants.

Inferno uses the Soul Edge weapons and EDGEMASTER wields the Soul Calibur weapons! Fans riot! (Because of hype, probably.)

See now.... that is one too many mimics.

Is 100% Raphael.
That's the final roster. Accept it.
No Cassandra, no Hwang, No Lizardman...
