Umm...
So there's a new option in the Network settings screen, its to disable CAS characters?
I think... From what I can tell its to disable custom appearances while still allowing you to play with CAS?
My understanding is that it takes a custom edit of a main character and just shows their default COLOR 1 appearance instead, and it takes a custom character and just shows their default appearance, before you do anything to them (armored humans, clothed elves, naked lizardmen/shapeshifters, etc.).
I haven't used it yet, just curious if anyone else has? (That or I missed it in the past).
I doubt the option is doing what it actually seems to say though, it also mentions effects?
I haven't used it yet, since my understanding is everyone and their mother is using Cassandra right now, so I was staying off of ranked for the sake of sanity. But effects would be like, weapon effects, magic, blood spatter, anime/manga, etc. I wouldn't think it means all the lightning rainbow fireworks from literally everything, though an option for that would be nice.
Also on another note, is just me or is the game going way way faster than it was before or like something has changed with the inputs?
I can't quite tell, but something feels different, maybe not faster but different.
To me some animations are also looking very sped up too, I'm going to check on the different platforms later but I was just wondering if anyone noticed anything.
I didn't notice this, but I also haven't played the game in quite some time, not since Amy came out and the week that followed. It seemed pretty consistent from the gameplay we've seen in recent tournaments, though. I didn't feel anything different.
So when do you guys think they will reveal the first DLC character of Season 2? My guess is either at Tokyo Game Show mid-September or the anniversary of SoulCalibur VI mid-October. It could be a while for the character to be released after it's revealed.
But hey, maybe we get a glimpse of the character mid-September at Tokyo Game Show and have it be released mid-October for the anniversary of SoulCalibur VI. But my guess is that the character is revealed mid-October and released towards the end of the year.
Using Tekken 7 as an example, they revealed the season pass, and then a month later, they allowed it for purchase and expanded on it, so September is possible, so Tokyo Game Show seems appropriate for that. Because Haohmaru is the second character of four, it does seem like that first slot does need to be filled (by Hwang), and so allowing it to be purchased and revealing the first slot character, could be something they might do next month. We'll see. Reveal in September and launch in October would also be acceptable. It's still coming much sooner than I expected, at any rate.
