Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

Main takeaways I got:

1. Tira being in as DLC means either another person is making it or she's already repped on the character select screen.

Given that she's DLC, and she doesn't fit the SE-SC2 timeline, I think that only leaves rock, which I do see as super unlikely but I woudln't be unhappy to be wrong again, so here's hoping. Either way I think it confirms that people post timeline besides zas won't be making it. Cass looks very likely now.

2. Boss guy looks neat, hope he's got a movelist and isn't a mimic (which him summoning a shitload of swords gilgamesh style leads me to believe he might be).

3. Weapons seem to be confirmed as being back (seen in the new story mode stuff), which is nice as it helps play towards the customization, and if they're actually making it a choice worth displaying in singleplayer I'm assuming that means we get the wacky effects too (so super long invis sword).

4. I'm 100% positive cervantes will be in the game along with male korean. 90% on raph.

5. I think lizardman still has a decent chance even if Soph has an axe weapon and the lizardman skin is in. He's too unique to not at least consider. That said the skin + style certainly doesn't bode well.

6. Rock could make it I guess (i mean if lizzy isn't and tira is DLC we're running thin pre SCIII)? I'm assuming it'll be club rock not Axe rock, and hopefully they'll have reworked his movelist well if it happens.

7. Alternatively they could do both yun and hwang and try to soph/cass them a bit more. Given that both have never been in the game ignoring assassin (who was a mostly stripped yun with slightly better moves) it could be possible.

8. Tira looks cool and all but given she's up there with voldo on unique bullshit I felt her video was somewhat underwhelming. Super is cool and all but I didn't see a lot of the crazy shit that I mentally associate with tira.

9. While libra looks like it'll be fun and it's nice to see CAS back (I feel the skins are kinda gimmicky but whatever I'll take what I can get), I do think the story for it already looks painfully cliche. Gratned I'm not here for the writing, especially for generic silent player protag, but man.
 
I'm kinda afraid that they are done with character reveal at this point, and that from now on they'll only show DLC character and/or bosses. Why would they reveal Tira as a DLC now. They didn't reveal Eliza before every character were showed.
It seems totally illogical to show characters from a season pass before all the other, unless the last remaining slot are actually season pass character OR they aren't "hype" enough like Inferno or Rock or Lizardman Kappa

I noticed, this mage character is mainly barehanded (with blue and red aura surrounding his hands, that reminds of Algol), but sometimes he appears to wield a staff and then he was throwing daggers. Which makes me curious as to his fighting style and the kind of weapons he utilizes in combat (could it be something similar to Necrid or Algol with all sort of weapons emerging out of nowhere?)

All weapons seem to share similar style though, that is quite reminiscent of the one Soul Calibur weapons used to have in previous games.

Just tagging on from this post by Rentao12; this shot of one of Groh's weapons really reminds me of this new sorcerer character's blades.

The colour scheme also fits albeit more purple than blue. There're definite similarities though.

Were the Bird of Passage destroyed this time around (according to her description) as originally Tira didn't defect, the Bird of Passage were destoryed when the evil seed was released so Tira was "freed" and adopted by a family who named her "Tira".

It's not really all that different. Far less details given, and they glossed over/skipped the adoption part, but more or less the same:

Original Timeline:
During an assignment, the Evil Seed pervaded through the sky, burning the leader's mind and dissolving the chain of command. Inadvertently, Tira was freed, and inexplicably drifted into the custody of an adoptive family. It was this family that gave her the name 'Tira'. Although she struggled to adapt to the "average life", Tira ruminated on the new freedoms that were provided, and decided that this new life could possibly be acceptable. However, Tira's peaceful, new found existence did not last for long. After she was scolded for releasing the youngest daughter's pet bird, she murdered her entire foster family in a blind rage. Finding that she could not live without the fundamental excitement of inflicting death on others, Tira began a wandering lifestyle, and heartlessly killed any who crossed her path. To show that she was no longer a tool to the organization, she chose to keep the name her adoptive family had given her, giving her old codename to her weapon instead.

New Timeline:
Tira, an expert wielder of her Ring Blade named Eiserne Drossel, fights using her own Dance of Death style. Trained by the mysterious Birds of Passage group of assassins, Tira abandoned the group after its leader went mad. Alone and angry, Tira, travels across the world, slaughtering any that get in her way – taking great pleasure in the trail of blood in her wake.

Man, I know you were kidding, I just wanted to also make that funny xD don't take it seriously.

Well, for TIra, I did had some help since I had a VERY reliable source telling me that she will be revealed later, but nothing was garanteed unless we saw her.

Now I just hope Hwang+Liz+Rock, and not Mimic+Rasputin+AnOtherRandomShit xD

The main reason is because SC did not get a Arcade run, the pre-order needs to be shown before it is too close to realese .
 
Don’t forget we have TGS for the remainder of reveals.

NRS revealed pre-order DLC in the middle of the waiting period. Plus it had to be announced at some point...

Still think it’s a little dissapointing about the lack of facial hair.

But I kind of wish that the wiz’s style was allowed for CaS and not get Algol’d.

Eliza was revealed as DLC before Eddy was announced.

Your video was spot on last week. I think we saw Groh's "Papi" in the Libra of Souls trailer.

Tira Gallery: http://www.avoidingthepuddle.com/ne...-6-tira-dlc-character-reveal-screenshots.html

Holly Molly Characters models in this game are just too much, all characters models are so great including the Illuminati dude, maybe with the exception of Groh which i think his face could have been bit better, quite generic face model he has imo, should have tried to do something similar to his artwork, especially in the chin part. But anyway it just a detail, this game looks insanely good and now even more than what expected tbh, even CaS got me excited lmao
 
Also with the LoS map, anyone notice that the more specific stages (IE the shrines) appear on the map. Makes me wonder what that’s about. The smaller icons I presume are towns. Maybe we unlock CaS parts that way?

Again the lack of the Money Pit or Valentine Mansion feels off.

Still @Hayate, do you think that Rock’s hair and the lack of Raph’s or Yun’s hair in CaS means something?
 
Wow, this is the best news I heard all day. I played with Tira here and there and it's great to see she's in the game. Wished she wasn't a dlc character though :p

I had a feeling they were going to give CaS it's own story and I can't wait to try it out. And all those races you can play as is unreal (I mean an Elf, a Lizardman, an angel and malfested?? I need to sit down lol). They weren't kidding when they said this would be the most packed SoulCalibur. The Lizardman CaS semmed to have Lizardman's Axe and Shield weapon from SCIV. I'm wondering if that either confirms Lizardman on the roster or if he's a CaS exclusive style. I want this game out already!

Some observations regarding new screenshots:

View attachment 50319

Here is a cool art of Tira put along with other official screenshots. It can't be a fanart, since it uses Tira's official SC6 design that has just been announced, so it must be official. Museum confirmed?

I'm sure it's fan art. Never under estimate how fast fan art can come out, especially from Japanese artists who are fans of SC. I remember when Menat from Streetfighter V was announced, she got fan art literally the same day

They have a lot of different artists working on the dev team and they have varied styles, so maybe it's the costume designer's depiction. Or a comission from a manga artist.
