Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

[T.Rex]

Here someone captured the gameplay part of the stream:

Self Destruct confirmed? Nice
So beautiful.

I hope they make it so 2b's dress isn't in cas.

Here's a side by side comparison of the character select screen showing the subtle changes.

God that empty space in the center is just so...ugly. It doesn’t even make any thematic sense anymore now that it’s not a 5x5 grid.

I'm starting to think there's a reason that spot is left as is, because holy shit it makes no fucking sense lol

 

[mokamoka827]

I mean, wouldn't be the only thing about the game that doesn't make sense. They've made some bizarre choices here and there.

Why?

 

[acefrost]

Why?

I feel it makes her look more unique, it's such a nice outfit that i'm sure loads of people will just slap it on their own cas/edits and I feel it will ruin it personally.

I mean... You're right. But I need those thigh-high heeled boots, soooo.... chances are they wouldn't give me the boots without the whole package.

That is exactly how i feel about characters' movesets placed on random creations. It devalues the original characters.

Yeah the dress means nothing to me
...but i need those boots.

Huh... it sounds pretty dumb when you say it.
Changed my mind I hope they make 2b's outfit CaSable.

I honestly do not want to come off as insulting to anyone that enjoys CAS but for me, no matter how much i try to make my "own creation" i just cant unsee the simple fact that it is whoever's moveset pasted on the character.

Add the fact that no matter what, CAS options will never be good and detailed enough to make what i want anyway. From there the only truely meaniningful thing i can actually do is make original costumes for the standard cast. That is something i feel worth doing.

Same with me. SC3 handled it the best as the movesets weren't ascribed to anyone making them neutral..

Well, except for Amy, Hwang, and Li Long. Arguably the rest of the bonus characters, too, but especially those three, since they had more personal touches as well as being made into full movesets in Arcade Edition. Arthur, Revenant, Greed, and Miser would also be a small cut above the Chronicles of the Sword bonus characters, too, but less impactful than the top three still.

It was definitely cool then but it wouldnt be now. What with several popular favorites missing and all.

symmetrical female character placement! from top to bottom you get
2 females in 1st row, 1 in second, 2 in third, 1 in fourth and 2 in fifth.

maybe it's meant to be two in every row ;)

 

[The Turbanator]

You know I think I see the reasoning for the location of the characters on the character select screen. That the higher the location of the character the more central they are to the events of Soul Calibur which would explain Inferno in the top corner. The final version is still shit though IMO.

Cervantes and Taki have done way more than Groh, Azwel, or Maxi ever have.

In my heart I treat Soul Edge as the first game but I get the impression that Project Soul at this point treat it as a prequel and so characters like Taki and Cervantes are not really central like the characters I've highlighted. Remember Libra of Soul is also cannon, not just Chronicles which Groh, Azwel and Maxi play major rolls in.

Given the option, I would absolutely take Dagger, Lance, or Grieve Edge as a DLC character's style, assuming it got the Arcade Edition polishing treatment.

I like the way you think.

It is kinda distracting for me that empty space.
