Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

Ramus said:
I don't know how this is relevant, most popular male characters are already in the game and there is 3 female characters that are fairly popular who most likely not making in base and are perfect dlc bait.

Because guests.

The fan base for Soul Calibur and Tekken though are quite different. Tekken is about the dudes, DOA is about the babes, and Soul Calibur is about the blades. If they planned to have any new male or female characters they will be in the base roster. Any new characters they will save for VII (III-IV could use some new characters). Don't forget the biggest criticism of V was the lack of returning characters PS will be getting as many of them into the roster as possible via base or dlc.

And no considering some of the most popular characters left to be announced are female getting all female dlc is quite probable...the exception might be Rock or Raphael depending on if one (or both) doesn't make it into the base game and the guest character if it isn't a female. That said we'd likely only get one if neither are in the base game...the other female characters are more popular. This isn't Tekken and most of the male roster is already expected to be in.

I don't think we'll have to worry about getting a guest character like Tekken (with negan)...especially since the new character was decided months ago and game of thrones is on its way out in 2019 and doesn't have rating problems unlike the walking dead (which is trying to continue going).

I'm fairly certain Okubo or someone said that Geralt wouldn't be the only guest character. Maybe I'm wrong. Still it makes sense to me that they would more likely save some characters for the next game so that they could be apart of the story. There's also a possibility of entirely new characters which I'm hoping for but maybe I'm alone on that.

DOA 5

Hardly maybe, but in the same time a game that managed to live for so long and actually gather enough money on it's own to justify a sequel and leave less then 1 year of a hole between the stop of support for DOA5 and release of DOA6.
When you compare it to SC5 that left us with with dumb CaS DLCs (that are numbered and that stopped abruptly) and left us waiting for a sequel for sooo long that we didn't even know it will ever happen... I'm sorry but think I prefer the DOA approach...

DOA is pretty solid waifu bait man. If you want to throw that out there sure, the you can probably add in Skullgirls if that has any DLC. I'd counter with SF5, MvCI, T7, DBFZ, MKX, Ij2, GG, BBCF, and BBTAG. Their DLC model include Vets, Guests and new characters.

Honestly, with how desperate we are for another successfull Soul Calibur, I'd rather they go for what is proven to work then do their own thing. Guests are pretty safe bets. I know it gets upsetting that we probably won't see them again or that we cant use them in CaS, but just imagine how well a Final Fantasy character might do in a game like this?

Sorry to disappoint but you are on 8wayrun.com with the the most criticizing community ever, don't expect anything else from here xD
Everybody hates you and no-one is ever satisfied, a community that constantly attacks each other. Those are the rules around here Kappa

I know right ! But Kayane brought/is bringing so much to soulcalibur. I don't want her to read things like that, she works hard for the community
(Btw if I had the chance to talk to Okubo-san I would do everything to make him bring my favorite video character in the game :p)
 
MOD NOTE: THIS IS SPECULATION.

I added some few informations in the french version of my video. I will post it maybe tomorow. But I will sum this here :

Tira 100%
Well, the characters has been leaked multiple time. The only question remains is about if they will add storyline rows for her or not. She can't have events between 1583 to 1588 because you will have to change completly her design to make her looks like 14 or something. She might be an unlockable character or first DLC, I don't know.

Cervantes 95%
Too much popular character + hints in the game + timeline can match. Their is still small possibility that he is an unlockable character withtout a storyline. If any character in the game have to face him in the story mode he also can't be sold in DLC for later, this will be unfair. So probably base roster for sure.

Raphael 90%
is definitly in. I have both hints from reliable source + add multiples sources recently telling he is in + I think I speculate correctly about his row in the Storymode. Unless this spot is for Setsuka? That would be the only char who can match in lenght and alphabetical order. But Raphael fits so perfectly there. I'am really confident about his presence. Unless we got a very huge suprise.

For Hwang, 70%, Yun-Seong 30%
their is still the possibility that Yunsung goes over because of the popularity gap between the two (Yunsung is at least 30% more popular), but Yun might be too young + he is not supposed to go out of his dojo before SC2. But maybe they added a row recently in the storyline for him and he will have a line with pre-SC2 events like Talim.

For Lizardman, 50%
their is definitly more hints about his presence but I'am pretty sure that when Vergeben said that he can't confirm his moveset feels like an alert. Their is a possibility that the char name is Aeon or Aeon Calcos in the storyline rows. But it's also possible that he will be a clone.

Finally for Rock, 30%
I really want to see him, The presence of Hwang and Liz will help him make it but it will be very hard. The reveal of Astaroth made things a little worse but still have his chance.

As for Cassandra (100%) & Setsuka (100%), like I said previously, they are two very (really) popular character among with Amy. We can have surprise with them included by reworking the storyline, timeline. But the logic would includes them at DLC for Setsuka and Cassandra either base roster or DLC.

Also I want to open the Hwang Seung Kyung discord, for the believers of the Shining Kicks Prophecy, The Dojo opens its doors :

I know what you are saying but don't forget that tekken upset a lot more people that he brought with his 1st Season pass filled with guests.

Guests can be cool if done right but knowing that they waste resources to fully develop a new character that will end in the dumpster I personally prefer having veterans and real new characters (like SF5 is doing, actually a every game that you listed mostly added veterans with DLC not guests).

New characters as DLC is a good way to see if people like their design well enough to buy it, that way the devs can know if they should keep that character or not.

They could do a story along the lines of a dying people who's only hope is to gain a powerful weapon to expel the Spanish from Central America.

I really like this idea it's a nice contrast to Talims storyline were her people's old way life was being destroyed by Spain, but instead of trying to get souledge to avenge her people Talim is going to destroy it to save people in general. I'd love for them to have some kind of story interaction if a character like that ever came to exist.

Did any of your sources say that about Setsuka? or do you just think that she will be in 100%?
 
Hayate’s latest post was reassuring. Just waiting to see Benny’s percentages.

Just don’t want the errors V made again by removing fighting styles. The dao/cutlass was gone from V so my hopes go up we’ll see one of them next. I can’t take Hwang seriously if he does a peace sign like Sailor Moon.
 
Kayane is a much better SC player than she is a journalist.

Go read that interview from February if you require a reminder. She also went in with an attitude like she knew more about the game than Okubo did. She certainly has heart, though, I'll give her that.

I'll be praying every day this is true, and if everything you've predicted is true then you'll be the SC6 messiah. Now I just need to pray Raphael plays properly fluidly like SC2 and not like in SC4/SC5 where the devs made it their life's goal to ensure you don't have fun playing him

Now that Seong Mi-na has been confirmed... I hope Amy will be there too considering her popularity. Even if it is in form of DLC / Bonus / Unlockable.

On March 30, 2014, during a Namco Bandai live broadcast, titled "876 Minute" on Niconico, a poll was conducted to determine the most favorite character who did not make an appearance in Soulcalibur V. The four choices were Amy, Cassandra, Rock, and Seong Mi-na. Amy received the most amount of votes, at 39.7%, followed by Seong Mi-na (23.8%), Rock (20.8%), and Cassandra (15.7%) .

I hope Okubo / Project Soul / Bamco have not forgotten.

Amy was just a fad when SC3AE came out, as we couldn't play her at home and was slightly intrigued with her launcher and juggles. However, she turned out too weak and boring IMO. Come SCIV-V, I was quite disappointed that one of the best UK players (waidat) had started using her as his main - and you could see he wasn't winning with her at all. Kind of a tragedy to see Waidat leave the scene after using Amy... he was once a TOP player using Xiangua among other top pics - just not Amy, alas. She ruined him by the looks of it - like all women! :-p

No for this characters I had no info. Only speculating from their fanbase being so huge, I can't really see them let thoses ones out of the game while other char get a place. For Amy, we also have the Viola problem...

The only reliable info I got recently is for Tira and Raphael. The rest is crossing rumors and speculating about the story mode and character screen select.

And the % is how much I'am thinking the character will be in the game.

Sooo lizzy still kinda have a problem only 50% is not that huge even if you are missing some infos.
So technically either Amy or Viola is gonna be in a 100% according to you xD Right, right? (you can even add their votes together and have a bigger demand than Setsuka and Cassandra Kappa)
