Soulcalibur VI General Roster Speculation Thread

[Rex Dart]

In SoulCalibur II, though, there was no excuse for Inferno not being able to use Soul Edge all the time, but he still didn't.

It's because it was an arcade port, and characters only had one weapon in the arcade version of SC2.

I think Inferno used Soul Edge variations at the end of Weapon Master Mode, but always the same three. I can't remember what they did for Extra Arcade.

Ah, that does make some sense. Still, they could have / should have changed it for the home release.

And it's been a long while since I played SoulCalibur II, so memory is hazy, but I found this on the wiki:

In the final mission of the Weapon Master mode, Inferno uses the Soul Edge versions of Nightmare, Cervantes, and Raphael. In the Extra version he uses the Soul Calibur weapons, using Talim, Nightmare, and Xianghua's styles. He is also referred by his original name as SoulEdge in this version instead of the main antagonist Veral.

Inconsistencies will bug the shit out of me. Why not just use the model Inferno for the mimic and make SEs for everyone? Same as the SEs he would use. That would make the most sense.

 

[RyujiSakamoto]

Isn’t Inferno made from soul edge? I don’t see the need for him to use it.

Besides nightmares default weapon in this game is already soul edge

 

[DanteSC3]

Inferno is the Soul of Soul Edge, as Elysium is the Soul of Soul Calibur. They are the will of the swords, so it's not a stretch to say that they would use the swords in combat. But I guess they don't necessarily have to, but it would make more sense if they did.

@AMillionHP -- As anything else, budget may not have allowed them to make Soul Edges and Soul Caliburs for everyone, but who knows? They may surprise us.

Well i thought all battles with Inferno are supposed to be internal anyway and he takes forms/abilities from whoever he wants, same with Elysium.

To me it doesnt make sense they use anything other than their own sword, because that is what they are.

Speaking of Elysium, I’m curious if Inferno impersonates Siegfried’s father at certain points like Elysium pretended to be Sophitia. It did impersonate Vercci’s voice I think with Voldo on account of the latter being blind.

But after Dante’s deciphering, it makes me wonder if there’s goIng to actually be crystallized weapons or even Calibur/Edge patterns for weapons.

doesn't Sieg kill his dad before the events of Soul Blade

Wouldn't be the first time someone has impersonated/created an illusion of him.

 

[SpellcraftQuill]

Well Sophie was considered dead and Elysium used her appearance to appeal to Patty. I’m sure Inferno can do the same with Frederick (sp?) since I think it created a replica of him.

Plus I don’t think it’s clear what Zas was doing in IV with Sieg, Kilik, and Algol.

Man, i feel like Viola is definitely going to be one of the season pass characters. Idk why, but i just do. Which makes me sad since that leaves one last slot. Chances for Setsuka seem to be low. Especially since i don't see the entire season pass being all female. Even the guest character is most likely going to be 2B, a female.

I mean that would make them money, but it would be odd. Even if the launch roster is 68.18% male.

The fact that Yun's unique style is missing makes him a definite candidate for that slot. Lizardman too, sorta.

Man, I hope this game sells well enough for them to consider a second season pass. It seems like the only realistic way of expecting Setsuka to return.

Qing Long is a huge red flag

QingLongmon is also a Digimon...

I don't see why it wouldn't be.

 

[RyujiSakamoto]

I don't see why it wouldn't be.

Because Yun seong is a candidate for DLC

 

[T.Rex]

Me too.
Viola will be presented in the trailer as THE REAL MENAT. =)

My prediction is:
Season 1
1 SC3 Char - Tira (confirmed)
1 SC4 Char - Hilde
1 SC5 Char - Viola
1 Guest - 2B
_______________________________
Season 2
1 SC2 Char - Cassandra
1 SC3 Char - Setsuka
1 SC5 Char - ZWEI
1 Guest - ??????

If it turns out that lizardman CAS has unique animations after all (based on the screenshot with his shield block) then it's possible that certain CAS races have slightly different animations than their original counterpart.

Or it could be even worse... Bonus half assed characters like SC3 :(

 

[SomeRandomHuman]

Lizardman mooks using Soph moves, except for those that have angelic effects, girly poses or supernatural stuff, and have manly/gender-neutral generic movement (blocking, walking, holding weapons etc).
Sounds pretty realistic TBH, though it's much lower than bonus-character level.

 

[SpellcraftQuill]

Hence why they could be bonus characters? Same for Hwang not giving a peace sign like a magical girl?

Still you’d think if Lizzy got unique movements he wouldn’t have that axe clipping through the shield...

 

[SomeRandomHuman]

Hwang, just like Cass, could be an NPC story only character that doesn't appear in battle at all.

Give me half ass rock and I’ll be fine.

 

[Saikyo_Ryuu]

I don't really want to go into the reasons why Viola definitely won't be DLC ever (hint: it's because she's Amy) but I /would/ like to see someone using that style back in the game at some point. I would just like to get a Korean Sword user in more than anything else rn though.
