Soul Calibur VI Story speculation

Ninjaguy446 said:
Project Soul's best bet is to either bring the old characters into the future or send the new characters to the past. If they opt only for SCIV characters then newcomers to SC and others would be disappointed. If they opt only for SCV then diehard fanboys (meaning everyone) will complain and kill themselves (if they already haven't) because their waifu is not in the game again (this includes me).

Story doesn't have to be complicated. Time-space dimension pocket thing ripped in Astral Chaod because of Edge Master's meddling and sucked your favorite characters into one time period to fight in the same SC game. That, or [insert generic time travel story here].

Although Unbreakable Soul and Lost Swords is supposed to be non-canon that has adopted the "travel through Astral Chaos to alternative dimensions and different points in time" formula, if you read the "story" (the intro) of Lost Swords it says something about how Astral Chaos stretches through all time and has came together bringing old characters back to search for Soul Calibur and Soul Edge, so it is very likely that they'll use this type of story for SC6 to keep everyone satisfied.

Or they'll reboot it, which I doubt will be appreciated in the Community.
 
I want to see Patroklos McFly go back in time with his pal Edge Bastard to save Pyrrha from becoming malfested, but in the process he accidentally prevents his parents' first encounter with each other. He must save him and his sister from being erased in the timeline by restoring his parents' relationship.

Haha, you don't come off as rude, don't worry. You are probably right anyway, so scratch that idea. As long as Cervantes kills Patroklos in front of his sister I'd be happy! (ouch!)

Too many of the characters have been side-tracked by the SCV story,but i don't see why cervantes would have anything against patroklos,maybe just payback for what sophitia did to him,but then he'd kill pyrrah too

A Back to the Future reference?

Or what if all lost/deceased souls are actually in the Astral chaos,and the next battle takes place there?

Patroklos's personality changed,as he became alpha.But i don't understand why namco or any other company doesn't experiment with transitional personalities,like in the real world,people are usually douches to they enemies/rivals but all buddy-buddy with their friends.

I don't know how much they'll try to pull from non-canon games,especially considering the negative response that Lost Swords continues to recieve

Nothing connects them. I just like Cervantes and dislike Patroklos, heh. I wouldn't have a problem if he killed both siblings to be honest.

Captain Crunch killing Patroklos? That would start a huge war lol

Captain Crunch? oO

I'd just like to see past relevant characters become relevant again, like Raphael, Voldo and Astaroth. (To me, they aren't as of now)
Would be interesting if Raphael became the new Nightmare come SC VI, thus making him the main villain and Amy the main hero. He was once the main antagonist anyway. Could see him fit that role, and a change in Nightmare's gameplay could be fun. I have wanted to see that since SC 3.

Voldo can actually beat someone important this time (like he did with Yoshimitsu in the past) Being Graf Dumas' servant and getting whooped seems lame to me. Astaroth is a lost cause, he's been beaten so many times, even his clones are.

Lost Swords only has such a bad rep because it's F2P. Just think, if it was a full game with a bigger cast and creation and stuff like that it would be 1000X better, even though it would still be nothing compared to SB - SCIII

Raph was an antagonist?
But he beat Nightmare,sorta.If Amy is confirmed to be Viola,then she would have no remembrance of Raph.
Or Night terror could return,maybe as Zasalamel,and meny past characters such as Cervy,Raph and others could unite against him.

It is also hilariously broken,and most f2p games can be played without having to pay.This game forces us to have to pay to unlock some characters.
The side story of "ours" seems interesting though.

Oh I know, the hard AI can read every little input you do it's so frustrating! Haha, yeah I haven't payed for one thing in that game yet and I intend not to pay for anything in the future! I guess that's because I already have the characters I want (except for Amy, there's no way I was going to grind for her in Soul Edge Scramble).

So do you think that they're going to draw more parts of the story from Lost swords besides the astral chaos thing,like the guy who can magically heal the malfested,their origins,etc.

Raphael was the main antagonist in SC II, and Nightmare ultimately beat him,not vice versa. He was already beaten when he "freed" Siegfried.
If they can make Raphael a vampire and Astaroth die 50 times, I'm sure they can make Viola/Amy break out of her amnesia.

Cervantes united with Raphael, Talim, Yun-Seong and Patroklos to take down Nightmare, now that would be funny as hell.

Ok,i'm confused now,for raph to be the main antagonist,nightmare would have to be the main protagonist,so was the story that focused on nightmare?
And i did say kinda,about raph "finishing" nightmare,lol.

I was thinking more like the darker characters on one end like Raph,Cervy and Tira,etc. and patroklos doesn't need the spotlight in SCVI imo.Talim should be a 33 year old by now,maybe a bit of a personality change can be expected.

I don't know really? I'm guessing, to keep fans happy by bringing back old characters they will do the Astral Chaos stuff, as for the rest I'm not really sure... I guess it depends on how long after SCV the game will be set (as a pre-SCV game wouldn't work as stated before), if it's set right after the events of SCV it wouldn't work ether (unless a strange time explosion type thing happens in Astral Chaos ~I'm basically describing my fan game lol~) It would have to be a few months/a year/a few years later.

Yes, SC II's story was focused on Nightmare/Siegfried.
Dark characters uniting could work and if they devote time for it, it would be nice and refreshing in general. I personally wouldn't wanna see it though.
 
I don't know about anyone else, but it looks to me that the only new SCV characters that'll stay are the Alexander kids (and possibly Z.W.E.I.). All three games so far under Hoshino's belt was focused entirely on the old cast, with Patroklos and Pyrrha being the only SCV newcomers in LS. The other newcomers were either not there at all, or were replaced by the very characters they were supposed to succeed. Not only that, but their bios (along with Z.W.E.I.) were the only ones that were changed for a new story, and not removed or changed to the version of another language. (Xiba and Leixia's was merely changed to the Japanese version).

Z.W.E.I. I think might return, as his bio now says that him and Siegfried have some kind of brother-like relationship, so it's possible for him to come back from a new starting point. Also interesting is that E.I.N. was renamed "Minion", and there is no longer any mention of him being a werewolf.
