Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

I didn't really say mix them, I said choose one style and include both with it, just alternate costumes and names. At least one gets their full character and it comes with the style most people want.

Far from my ideal.

As for the Cassandra thing. We've had multiple years of sword and board with Cassandra and Sophitia and the two Pyrra's, by this point we could vote on which of the 4 is the best style, choose that one, and then just make Sophitia and Cassandra alternate outfits of the other with a different name. One sword and shield, as many sword and shield users as they want, no slots used, both can be in the game using minimal resources.

Could do this with other similar styles to get that full weapon style variety with minimal slot use.

No thanks.

This isn't Smash Bros, you can't just slap on an alt costume and call it a day. The characters might look similar due to haivng the same weapon but they play quite differently, would you be happy having Raphael's 2p costume being Amy but still just playing like Raphael? Would the theoretical Rock fans out there by happy playing as alt costume Astaroth with none of the moves they theoretically would like about Rock?

That could potentially work for Hwang/Yun Seong (throwing in Han-Meong as a bonus third of course) and Maxi/Li-Long since the newer characters were essentially meant as improved version of the old ones but even Hwang and Li-Long got differentiated a bit more in SCIIIAE.

All that would mean to fans of the style not chosen is there's no hope of getting it as DLC.

Raphael already has his own style and he represents fencing better than Amy anyway. Her moves wouldn't even fit him because they are too feminine for him and they aren't going to waste resources for making new animations when they can simply keep his style as is. This is aside from my own bias of course, I would never want them to mix styles like this. And please spare me the 'to make him more viable' bullshit, his SCV moveset is far from weak.
 
@Apoc: He was? I thought the general consensus was that he sucked. I mean no offence, I actually liked him a lot in every game he was in, so I'm honestly surprised. Far from my main, though, so, do enlighten me.

He has sucked, but it doesn't mean people can't prefer to play him. I prefer playing him to Amy because I enjoyed playing a long distance poke/wiff punish game. Doesn't mean I think Raphael is better than Amy, because objectively he isn't, but I'm not looking for a Raphael that incorperates Amy traits to be better. What I'm looking for is a Raphael that has the frame data/dmg/combos to make his style worthwhile.

That's because he's a very misunderstood and underrated character. He has the tools to deal with almost any situation, his mixups are viable against the majority of the cast, he has a plethora of frame traps and has an insane guard crush gameplan. He has some weaknesses like most other characters, but it's just a matter of implementing his moves correctly. I'm only speaking about SCV Raphael because I haven't played the older games competitively.
 
Didnt Hayate say he had some leaks??

Id like to hear'em for sure.

Also, with 9 character slots left thats enough for everyone. I dont see why people are stressin

1.Cassandra
2.Asty
3.Lizardman
4.voldo
5.Mina
6.Hwang
7.Raphael
8.Tira
9.Grohs dad

DLC is 4 characters ON TOP of this (Sets, Viola, Hilde, and another guest). I think thats a pretty damn good roster.

Oi, you left out Cervantes. :sc1crv1:
 
Yun instead of Hwang and Cervantes instead of Mina but otherwise that roster wouldn't surprise me too much (though I still think vergeben is BSing and there's no groh dad). I think we'll probably only see one Korean character if any this time around. Maybe also a third new character or someone instead of Cassandra (or replacing Yun if there's no Koreans again).

We already know Lizardman and Cervantes are both in the story mode so I'd be surprised if either was left out of the base game.
 
I think Grøh's dad will be a boss-only character who will have some sort of ridiculous powers like Night Terror, so he won't be playable.

But my current roster looks like this, with Seong Mi-na, Cassandra, and Raphael being the characters not on the story timeline:
Code: 
Hwang       | Siegfried | Zasalamel | Nightmare | Lizardman
Xianghua    | Maxi      | Sophitia  | Astaroth  | Ivy
Yoshimitsu  | Kilik     | Inferno   | Grøh      | Voldo
Talim       | Mitsurugi | Geralt    | Taki      | Cervantes
Seong Mi-na | Cassandra | Raphael   | Tira      | Random

Add DLC: Guest 2B (perhaps she's the bonus), along with Setsuka, Hilde, and Amy/Viola.

No expectation for it to come back, but I still would love it if SCV's replay mode came back. It was good to be able to save some of your favorite matches, and helpful to review matches from an outside perspective of sorts to see where you want wrong and consider how to improve on things or do away with weaknesses in your performance. Probably most helpful for that when you hit a roadblock and just kinda struggle with or halt improvement temporarily, be it in general or with a specific character(s) you're learning.

i wouldn't count this out if i were you, i mean that was a good aspect of SC5 i don't think they would leave this feature out.
