Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

you have people already freaking out over tira.

you honestly think it's a better strategy to just leave that hanging? no the better strategy would be to say something vague "the leaked roster some of you saw is not the final build"

infamy can be a powerful PR move but not a powerful marketing move, if people hate your product or you they aren't going to buy it outside of something so absolutely trash that it becomes a joke.
Freaking out is still talking. It's getting the game out there. Leave people sweating a bit then reveal the characters that fill the rest of the slots. The only way this is a problem is if well they have nothing. Otherwise letting everyone sweat and assuming the worst and getting them talk about it only to reveal those slots filled with a full roster would create maximum hype. It could even have a character like Rock as one of the reveals and still have a huge effect. Hwang, Lizardman and Rock even at that point would create hype as it would then be way more than people had settled on accepting by preparing for the worst at that point.

If, however, Cerv and Raph is all they have or Raph is dlc then yep gonna be bad pr. If not however.
 
Is it possible that the build we saw was the same build that was being shown off at Gamescom during the IGN interview about the CaS mode when Cervantes style was "leaked"? It would make sense for Cervantes to already be in that build of the game would it not?

I still think it would be a very bad move on Bamco if this was indeed the final roster. I really can't see any advantages of having Hwang and Lizardman as dlc when Fighters like Cassandra and Setsuka would have way more market value. Not to mention a roster with empty slots in the top left and bottom right just makes absolutely no sense at all. Like none. Never in the history of gaming have I ever seen a roster released like that.
 
Can somebody please post a match-up video from a past Calibur game that shows Cassandra to be an awe-inspiring character? I just don't see what the interest is in her over, say, Leixia.
KDZ eliminating two Hildes with Cassandra from the Top 8 for SC4 at EVO 2009 was pretty memorable for me (and I'm not a Cass fan at all):

And this oldschool match between LinkRKC and Mick
 
It’d be hilarious and a relief if the next reveal wasn’t one of them. The move list wasn’t finished for one... And the Hwang/Lizzy leak made at least the former sound incomplete.

Our only hope is that our second guest isn’t in the season pass and we get Hwang/Yun, Cassandra, and Setsuka.
 
well one thing to salvage would be the 4 slots reaming, no tira in build and there just happen to be 4 DLC characters. Maybe a little clarification.

Tira is one of the 4 DLC Characters in the Season Pass & the confidential build had 4 slots that are white.
 
What shit did Cassandra get done? Her story never went anywhere. She only defeated Raphael after 3 games; only to get knocked out by Sophitia and sucked into astral chaos.

I do like Cassandra, she was one of my mains. I just don't pretend like she was all that important in the story. Just like I don't pretend that Patroklos and Pyrrha are well-liked by people.

You sure you read that right? O_o
That was my point.
Cassandra has potential and gets slapped down, caught up or out played.

Go back and read what I wrote, I spoke on her potential and quite blatantly acknowledged the reality of the situation, you’ve just read too much into my frustration.

Point still stands though vaulted potential sucks. :(
 
Tira is one of the 4 DLC Characters in the Season Pass & the confidential build had 4 slots that are white.
Again, it’d make no sense to put a bunch of empty slots at launch. I don’t think any game has ever done that.

Caught this on Reddit. Possible reveal st Summer Jam tomorrow?
