Namco said it was 'successful' for what that's worth. I think a lot of people just forget about it since Namco Bandai haven't given it anywhere near as much post-launch support as Tekken 7.
Namco doesn't want to give any game as much support as tekken
it's honestly impressive what project soul manages to do with the game with how short their budget must be compared to the tekken team
Isn't Cassandra from the original timeline following SCV already? So there's precedent.
It's a miracle SC5 was as mechanically smooth and competent as it was. And SC6 is another huge achievement for Project Soul constantly being treated like Namco's unwanted step-child.
The playable cassandra is from the reboot timeline. She encounters and fights the original timeline cassandra in her story mode, though. Making her one of the only two people with knowledge of the OG timeline, the other being Zas.
When did I say he was never different at all? What do any other characters who have all had their time being completely unique have to do with anything? I said this is the FIRST time he's ever been ENTIRELY unique. Which it is.
I'm glad Hwang is back and I'm glad he's all new. I can't wait to see who they glow up next.
To troll the people watching the stream - the trailer was played at the end of an EU SCVI tournament.
I'm very happy with so much single-player and story content.
SCV burned me HARD in that regard and I had almost given up on the franchise as a result. SCVI feels like a wonderful and sincere apology.
the story content for SC6 has been one of the high points for me
i wouldn't have expected things like "Yoshimitsu gets a serious and somber story mode" or "Cassandra gets lore relevance" or "Amy becomes an actual character" but they really pulled through.
turning Setsuka's three line long backstory into a whole samurai film, complete with a b-plot, was the kicker for me
Wow, so it was Hwang and not Algol? Nice! Hwang's design/move set looking crazier and flashier than before which looks pretty dope imo. As a old Yun-Seong main, I definitely would love to try him out since I haven't played since around launch time.
SC6 DLC has been on point, I've really loved every character's unique gimmick and it feels like the team is really hitting a stride design wise. I expect this to be the last DLC but would love if they squeezed a few more fighters out.
If being alive means to be worse than SCV, then it should have stayed dead.
I'm totally fine with time travel, we've got Geralt coming from another dimension and Amy's story already showed Viola. Having a couple of kids come back to fix some event with the help of Viola would hardly be that out there for a franchise previously starring Yoda.
You can also reuse his parts for whatever custom character you want to make.
So if they're doing a third Fighters Pass, going by previous passes, I'm assuming it would be Yunseong, Algol, Dampierre, and another guest character?
I never cared for Hwang so I was dreading this reveal, but that trailer sold me on him.
Going by the old popularity poll, Viola was by far the most popular SCV newcomer (even beating some of the old characters that already returned in SCVI, like Hwang himself), if we don't get her I don't think any other SCV character has a chance.
Albeit wearing too much fabric. Hope we get to see some exciting 2P and maybe 3P costumes for him soon.
Yeah, unfortunately this game likes to put its male characters in lots of clothes (and barely release any as DLC), while heavily leaning on scantily clad waifus. I was rolling my eyes at that stupid underboob and mini-skirt CAS costume, and how they treat shitty SCIV costumes as "classic" now. I've no doubt that if we ever got a character like Rock, Zwei or Yun they'd be put in a big hooded robe at this point. But at least I get to play as Hwang, who should be fun.
As long as he has the costume with the hat and mask, I'm game. I like his move set, but his drip is WAY more important to me right now lol
EDIT: ok after rewatching the trailer, does he have some variant of Ivy's Snake Blade?!

Their character design philosophies couldn't be more apparent
I believe it was the SCVI devs who said they were uncomfortable with making sexy male character designs (but clearly don't have this issue with female characters).
At last. Now please give us a season 3 with some Aeon/Lizardman action. I've been waiting for ages. One axe, two axe, a sword, I don't care. I'm sure they'll do great.
He has a magic chain that comes out of his other hand. He hooks his sword up to the end of the chain on those moves.
Guess who else back?
Me!
To play your game, namco! Finally!
His new arranged theme sounds awesome too.
You know what else starts with an 'H'? HURRAY!

Damn he looks cool! I really need to buy this game now for PS4 - I'll wait for a sale for base + S1, but it looks like S2 hasn't gone on sale...ever?
Aeon seems like a given for S3
personally, I'm of the opinion that Aeon should eat the guest of the previous game and gain their abilities, but this is a new timeline so maybe save it for next where he can eat Geralt.
I knew they'd do my boy Yun-seong dirty like that! Damn. No SC6 for me then...
Hwang's been treated like crap for longer, you'll be fine!
I'd rather they make more new characters than start scraping the bottom of the barrel for picks, especially given the two already in the game aren't that great. Outside of Aeon and maybe Damp, you've pretty much gotten every vet worth something anyway, plus seeing more unique weapons and nationalities come to the series is always cool.
She's already in the game, just in a less interesting form.
