She was pretty serious in her SoulCalibur IV ending. And I imagine she would have been hardened even further after spending seventeen years in Astral Chaos if she had made an appearance in SoulCalibur V.

So, tomorrow's the Dengeki stream about Amy. Hope you people know someone who can do simultaneous translation. Or a translator if the Dengeki stream is available as a VOD.

It's at 9AM PST so that's good. Hope I can catch it when it's being aired.

In her personality, maybe, but in design (outside of her Critical Finish in SC4), she is just as serious as anyone else, including Pyrrha, I don't get why Pyrrha got mentioned as "not-serious", her style is supposed to be the sword and shield moving on their own, even though that wasn't explained in SC5's shitty story, so she has an actual reason to keep begging and crying, contrary to popular belief. Dampierre, on the other hand, is completely different, as he is meant to be a weak joke character with stupid moves, he is designed to not be serious in any way.

Indeed, while clearly "serious" is a pretty subjective term (and I'm not exactly sure it has any place in talking about the Soul Calibur cast, but we can put that question to the side for the moment), I would still class Cassandra's movestyle as pretty brutal and dirty. She's always checking that shield into the stomach or someone's face, or slamming the toes of her adversary--her motto is clearly "whatever it takes", and I always thought of her as the less elegant, more direct and even vicious variation on Sophitia's style.
I mean, I suppose in a game where everyone either attempts to put a sword through the midsection of their opponent or else cave in their skull fifteen times in one round, all styles are pretty brutal, but some still stick out for the lack f---s given by the character in terms of going for the jugular--Cassandra always felt like one such character to me. Yeah, they did get a little carried away with the butt moves in IV, it must be said, but even that started as hip checks, which is a genuine close-quarters fighting tactic. Anyway, to bring things back around to the comment that originally got this ball rolling, I also hope they don't try to reinvent the wheel with Cassie. I'm already worried about what may be going on with Amy in that regard--actually, I'm really hoping to be reassured by the stream tomorrow in that respect.

Only 4 hrs to see a preview of some of Amy new SCVI stuff like her Abandonment Level.

I'm kind of most worried about that of all the changes, honestly. I feel like Amy already had a niche--reel your opponent in with feints fake retreats and then punish them by beating them to the punch, plus a high pay off for those willing to learn the intricacies of her combos and mixups. I really wasn't hoping for them to redesign her drastically, especially after a long absence, and I'm concerned that the tradeoff for this new gimmick of hers is going to see some of her better legacy moveset and/or her general speed hurt, in order to accomodate it. I'm really hoping 'abandonment' is a Soul Charge only frill and that it doesn't impact her standard moveset so much.

What do you guys think the Abandonment Level is? Just now heard about it, but I guess we'll find out soon. I suppose it's just a separate meter that she has, giving her access to different move variations?

Anyone here who knows it what they’re saying and what they’re listing?

@Ninjaguy446 can read Japanese right?
Klimat

They are listing questions they've got during their Q&A at EVO Japan event that they had no time to answer previously. So basically all kinds of SC6 questions, not Amy specific questions.
Their schedule for today is:
1). General questions from EVO Japan.
2). Amy stuff.
3). More general questions from EVO Japan.
4). More Amy stuff.
We are currently in the middle of the third item.

Anything of interest in those questions?

Do you have any idea what they are addressing?
Edit: it also seems to be talking about 8wayrun, while i doubt it, are they addressing something to do with us and our feedback?

I don't speak Japanese, those are just things I was able to get from the chat. Pay attention to Maimai Gomez, that's the person who provides most of the translations.
Also there will be an official translation of the whole stream released between March 13th-14th.
