Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

There is no precedent for characters having different numbers of weapons available. Why would only two characters have both Soul Edge and Soul Calibur?
It seems far more reasonable to me that one character (Geralt) just has 1P/2P weapons.

Nightmare in SC2 has both

He does, but he doesn't have more weapons than everyone else because of it. What you're saying is that two characters would have 8 weapons while every other character would only have 7 weapons, and that's what I'm saying hasn't been done before.

If we assume everyone (including Tira) that isn't Geralt has 7 weapons, that adds up to 140.
If we assume Geralt has 2 (1P and 2P), that gives us 142.
This means 7 more weapons, which would fit nicely alongside one new character.

Of course for LoS reasons it's possible Geralt has 7 too which would make 2 leftovers.

aka We have no way of knowing either way ;)

What about in SoulCalibur V?

I think several characters had an "extra" weapon like this. And I think Nightmare also had his Soul Edge design from SC4.

While it's definitely possible that Geralt will only have one weapon, it seems just as possible that they'd include alternate weapons for him. There did claim to be working closely with the Witcher team, and they'd have lots of designs to pick from in the Witcher series. And since his style is available for CAS, it seems like they're treating him more like one of the regular cast members. More like the SC2 guests than the SC4/5 guests.
 
I'm aware of those, but the SoulCalibur V "extra" weapons were not selectable without hex editing your save data, so that doesn't really count. You can't just straight pick a Soul Calibur weapon for a female character, since those are for Elysium. SoulCalibur IV weapons for Siegfried and Nightmare were also only used by their Legendary Souls variants, and not unlockable. There's a few others, like Patroklos having Soul Calibur & Arcadia Shield (only available in Story), Cervantes having the tainted Acheron blade (because contrary to the thumbnail, the 1p Acheron that Cervantes has is clean in SoulCalibur V, but the "extra" weapon has the taint), and Leixia having a Ten Feet of Blue that doesn't have the tassel.

That is an interesting point. Wouldn't he have to have several weapons for Libra CAS if nothing else?

This makes me think Aswell is not selectable for Libra and he is the one with only two weapons.

I'm not a big fan of that hair.
I want Hilde's 1P hair, it's my fav.

We have several 2P hairs of old games.
Hilde 2P (SC4 and SC5)
Setsuka 2P
Cassandra 2P
Tira 2P (SC4)

Could be S1 DLC roster

Yeah, if Tira is not where you put her, there has to be at least one more reveal because it would look total shite like that. I could see it resolved though by the second pic at least aesthetically, but then it becomes confusing where all the DLC are from a design stand point. You usually would want to keep that all grouped together somehow.

Most likely if not the final build which is what i think it is.

Did anyone notice the order for the characters that you can CaS and Profiles screens is similar to one of the 4chan leaks?

What if that build (which is the build that will be at TGS) actually is really old (from July) and there are more characters post TGS>? One optimistic boy can only dream. :)

And according to that list, that would mean that there are 2 rows hidden by scroll
 
So if Tira and Inferno are the last two slots on the main roster will everyone be happier? And the two slots on the sides are for DLC and possibly bonus or something else?
 
The proposition that Inferno and Tira would occupy the remaining two empty spots on the center square of the selection screen still gives me pause. The left side of the roster seems entirely occupied by heroic characters, or at least characters that are in opposition to Soul Edge. The only dubious occupant is maybe Mitsurugi, since he's mostly self-serving, but he's the Ryu of the series. The pure fighter who just wants to beat people up and get stronger. It's portrayed mostly nobly. There are some good-aligned characters in the center and even on the right side as well, but that seems to be more of a case of having an imbalance of good/evil characters and those characters needing to go somewhere.

Anyway, one of the missing slots is on the left side, and both Tira and Inferno are quite clearly aligned with Soul Edge, so the placement of either one of them there would throw the most consistent of these nebulous "roster rules" askew.

However, that doesn't discredit the possibility of the right side slot going to Tira and the left belonging the first of the three other DLC characters. I just don't believe that spot would go to either Tira or Inferno.
 
As far as my comment on the negativity earlier goes, I don't really care if people complain. There are things in this game and certain practices within it that I don't condone, and I think some things should be complained about, in spite of how amazing this game looks.

However, what I'm seeing a lot of, is people extrapolating the most negative possible outcomes based on shreds of information from screenshots and even speculations being made by other members. Almost as though they are *trying* to find reasons to drag the game, conjuring these vitriol-filled assumptions out of nowhere. It's tiring. I suffer from chronic depression in real life, and it's a real bummer to have to scroll through post after post of pessimism just trying to find some good conversation. The thing about the pessimism is that over time, it becomes contagious, toxic even. It lowers the quality of the atmosphere in dialogues. So like, you know, if you have a gripe about the game and you want to talk about it, ask yourself a few questions:

(this is all real rich coming from me, I know)
1. Is it a confirmed feature of the game? Is your complaint based in any kind of tangible reality? (Tira DLC, Reversal Edge mechanics, actual confirmed roster aka things we actually know about the game)
2. Does it contribute anything new, and of worth to the ongoing dialogue?
3. Is it going to start an argument? I can be pretty toxic myself, but I think most of us have been around here long enough to have a pretty good internal compass on this kind of thing.

At the end of the day, there's no hard and fast rules on this kind of stuff. Y'all are gonna do whatever you want, but it's just some food for thought that might help folks be a little more self aware. I need to work on this too, but it's really important to keep in mind that this game's release is coming closer and closer. It's going to draw in quite a few players, and they're going to be looking for places to go where they can talk and engage with a community. Let's help 'em stick when they get here, eh?
