Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

[Cadaveri]

I dont get why talim is so popular, she wasnt even used much.

I doubt she is, the so called fan vote she won some years ago was obviously abused by fake votes, there was no limitation on the voting.

The most recent character vote on eventhubs had Talim at #9

The problem with comparing those two polls is that the EventHubs poll let you pick multiple characters, either eight or ten if I remember right. So everyone who picked Talim was also able to pick other characters, which adds up with the people who didn't pick Talim, so overall, they would outshine Talim. Meanwhile, the Facebook poll only allowed you to pick one character, so people who picked Talim (whether it's because they actually liked her best or because she was missing from SoulCalibur V) could not pick other characters, so they either had to pick Talim or nothing.

I have just heard of Taki's great return, honestly that Reversal Edge part was pretty cool to see.

EHubs is still a better FGC news site than 99% of them out there.

Hell EH, SRK, and AtP are the only good ones that come to mind.

Also, note that every incarnation of her 1p has some sort of girdle/armor as well.

Having something over her abs, like SCII, also works, but then you'd be covering up her delicious abs so...

Is it me or does Taki look more asian than the last time we saw her.

She looks less Asian than even Caucasian SCIV taki.

 

[Ramus]

Taki hair always looks shorter in-game than art.

I have to wonder what big thing they'll have to show off at E3. CaS perhaps?

There are still at least 9 characters left to be show. I think we're gonna get at least two or three characters. Single-player content also being there is likely as well.

Is it me or does Taki look more asian than the last time we saw her. I hated the way she looked in SC4 she looked waay too caucasian.

From the low-res leak video, maybe it is because Taki appears to have darker Iris, her hair is darker. She doesnt' have SC4's red eye shadow? Lastly, her SC6 mask obscures her nose, cheekbones and her lips somewhat, so maybe your brain is subconsciously putting in asian features there. We'll have to wait and see with comparable lighting, higher resolution images AND the removed mask before we jump to conclusions. I still think they reused SC4/SCLS assets for Taki, with improved lighting under the UE engine.

Personally I prefer raven haired Taki as it made her seem more serious and yet inconspicuous.

Seriously, what's blue is red, almost exactly the same Taki as SoulCalibur III:

Quick mock up.

I really like the contrast between the leather wrappings with brass trim, and the silver armor of the SC3 set
But I like the design of the forearm / shoulder / knee / shin guard armor of SC4 (I'd prefer more silver instead of purple as a colour palette for her armor however). The layered "sode" style armor looks more japanese than the solid plate used in SC3.

 

[Ramus]

I think the eyes are slightly sharper in the SC VI model and the overall shape of the face softer, which makes sense as she is younger, but with the mask is really hard to tell.

 

[SpellcraftQuill]

Taki's best face was SC1, even though her hair wasn't really flattering. On the same token, Xianghua looked like the monkey in Arthur. Probably not what many would consider sexy, but Taki looked Asian and like she actually knew how to fight. She smithed her weapon I believe so she should have some muscle tone. But being a ninja, being all burly probably might not work out for her.

 

[EvangelioN]

so we are going to get HD trailer for taki this Thursday right ?

 

[WuHT]

cat's out of the bag.

Reception has pretty much been overwhelmingly positive for the leak so far.

 

[DanteSC3]

What's the reaction if we actually don't get Taki on Thursday but someone else?

That's good. More characters revealed l0l

MY MAIN!!!!!!!! <3

I really like how they took aspects of her SC3 outfit (like the mask) for this one, and how they toned down her proportions. She looks like she'll be just as fun to play as she did around SC1-SC3, but until we see more footage of her in battle I'll reserve judgement. Her CE looks awesome after Siegfried's somewhat disappointing CE (but my main issue with that one is that the final hit is really underwhelming, otherwise it's pretty cool), and the nod to Soul Blade's intro at the end was really cool.

Now if they would reveal Tira or Raphael (even though I don't have high hopes for the latter :( ), I would be over the moon.

 

[Crimzin]

Great to see Taki again! She definitely looks younger and reducing the boobs to near human size is a plus. I'm not mush of a Taki player, but when I did use her she was always fun and it seems like she still will be. The Kanji glowing on her clothes when she does some moves is a really nice an welcome touch.

Now I'll just sit and wait patiently for a Cassandra announcement and reveal (hopefully)...

I didnt think about it that way. That's an interesting way to put it. I guess she looks more asian cus her eyes are more slanted and sharper.
