SoulCalibur VI |OT| A Tale Eternally Retold
- Thread starter SolVanderlyn
- Start date
Why Raphael is looking like Kyosuke from Rival Schools?Let's dance.
SCVI is launching with only a small fraction (literally) of CaS items when compared to previous releases.
Almost all of these are actually ported from VI and V, the only new items are evidently ones created for the new main character outfits.
SCV had many many more clothing choices.
SCVI has ported only some of these over, and is holding some more hostage for DLC.
Wait, that's even worse than I thought from the other thread. They took AWAY pieces?! Why would they do that? I just don't get it at all. This doesn't beat only 11 stages for me, but it's a pretty large disappointment -- especially with an entire single player mode revolving around CaS now.
So we can pay for 5+ year old equipment pieces that Scamco will probably put in the season pass.
Here's a count of the female headgear compared with SCV, it's shameless

Seriously? They're just so brazen with this sh*t. It's like they're doing everything they can to push my into waiting for a deep discount.
You guys are getting it all wrong, this is all part of the plan. They're doing this so people don't even want to use CaS, and if there won't be people using CaS they won't show up in online modes. Bingo.
Anyone else sort of conflicted on getting this game because of how light it is on content?
- Only two new characters, 20 total.
- Just 10 stages.
- A lot of recycled material in the CAS, with their being very little to begin with.
:(
I already bought the deluxe version a couple weeks ago. Kind of feel like a sucker, no lie.
Didn't the same happen with Tekken 7 though? I recall there being some backlash with Tekken 7's customization options compared to TTT2. Not trying to excuse it of course, but it seems to be a thing they're doing now.
Don't forget no 2P costumes, half-assed arcade mode (with no character select screen?!), no intro movie and then actually removing a whole character to peddle their season pass with. If 3D fighters weren't such a scarce commodity these days I'd have written this game off ages ago with this level of b*llshit. As it stands I think I'll wait to pick it up cheap. The single-player stuff would need to be the most amazing thing ever to counter all this so I guess we'll see.
Haven't played SC in forever. SC2 was probably the last one. Think I'm going to pick this one up though. Hopefully it catches on because, as much as I love fighting games, I'm not playing SFV as much as I used to play SFIV. It may be time to learn something new.
Was thinking of cancelling my collectors ed but I just seen my card was charged. Would rather have the pc version but I also want the statue.
I was going to :( I actually bought all the DLC on the previous entries day one, I love SC.
But this one's gone a bit too far for me.
I'll still be there day one, but with the standard edition.
I've been hearing that it's packed with content including like 40 hours worth of story mode content?
Regardless, I've got it preordered and will be there day one!
I just think the SP and the multi story stuff will really drag me in, plus relearning all the new moves and such, I'll feel like it's SC2 all over again with the solid gameplay. It's been 15 years bruh
I don't doubt the story mode will be good, but the presentation aspects seem poorly done.
I mean, no amount of explaining is going to get people to relax but they added the stuff you can't really add later like two full blown story modes, rock solid online, and an amazing gameplay system and are going to make us pay for stuff that can be added later, like characters and costumes.
It'd be nice to get PS2 levels of content for the same price as 15 years ago but that's not going to happen. So either we have to pay more or not get the extra stiff at all.

Honestly debating on buying this just so I can support the franchise, if Namco can provide great post launch support I'll be content with my purchase.
Really does stink that the CAS isn't as good. I mean, SCV's CAS was something amazing with all the items that you could have; heck, you can even make a character have Devil Jin's playstyle. Again, if they can keep adding onto it, I'll be good.

I've no doubt it'll play like a dream, and I missed out on the beta!
I got sucked into watching stream matches and I never watch streams, it was awesome. I might actually dip into online this time around if I can get confident enough with Mi-Na (I'm super happy she's finally back).
Some great arrangements of old familiar tunes from the whole series, I hear.
We've been told 3am ET Wednesday so like in 3 hours? Others have said 00:00 ET so it's a little murky but it looks like it should be between tonight and early morning tomorrow.
I'm also disappointed with a lot of things, but going by the beta, they've managed to nail the most important part - the core gameplay.
After playing the beta I went from "meh" to "I NEED THIS GAME RIGHT NOW!" I don't think a Soul Calibur game has ever felt this good to play. It seems to be the perfect blend of old and new.
It just all feels right. It's fast. It's fluid. The characters feel nice and agile and less weighted than they did in IV and even V, and I love all the new mechanics too. So many delicious mind games!

Waiting to hear some actual details on the "two story modes" pretty down for this though. CAS was never my jam personally but I definitely hear the complaints. Also no Hilde hurts. Almost forgot that I need confirmation on the online region stuff. Don't want to be linked to NA players again when using my normal account!
Super excited. Annoying seeing all these storefronts sending out their keys while IndieGala is still "This serial will be available on release day". I know there's no pre-load on PC yet so it's not like it matters but I want it in my account damn it, I want to be able to admire its presence while eagerly waiting for Thursday.
I've always gravitated towards the more ranged weapon users in this game (Mina, Hilde, Xiba) but I think I'm going to leave all that behind this time and go all in on Yoshi. I love watching people play him, and he's always seemed like such a fun character.

I'll wait for reviews. I have to say I am a little disappointed by the lack of stages and "small" roster. They did bring back characters I love, such as Zasalamel and Talim...
Wait and see. I need more information.

Since Hwang hasn't been confirmed yet, I'm waiting on purchasing my own copy. In the meantime, thank goodness for roommates that buy everything!
I do hope this does well and that Namco continues to invest and improve the game. Soulcalibur is one of my favorite series ever and I want to see it back to its former glory.
