I mean, maybe that's just me but ...
I've played Soulcalibur 4 and 5 a LOT, and I'm incredebly disappointed that 6 have all the exact same characters with the exact same moves (even fucking Ivy have not changed clothes) ... Plus it does not look like a major graphical improvement from 5.
After all this time I must say I was expecting more, again maybe that's me, sorry if it feels like a drive-by.
Namco plays it safe and bets on nostalgia. Reasonable since they got a backlash from their fan base after V. We talked about it numerous times.

SC5 had characters nobody wanted to play as and the series was in a state of decline despite the features that i liked from 5 like the character creator.

I'm not saying 5 was perfect (although, yeah, loved the character creator), just that I was hoping for more with 6. They could try to improve and build new stuff on the existing classic characters, it's the exact same movesets, most likely mapped on the same controls too...
Sorry I did not want to derail the thread, I may grab the game if it hits a low-enough price just for couch fun with friends but I really can't say I'm excited for anything I've seen.

AyYY I was right, the most conservative voldo outfit to date! Well, default costume anyway, bee voldo is probably less edgy (figuratively and literally)

I win a soda!

About goddamn time.

I wish they'd announce all returning characters in the same week instead of parceling them out at a snail's pace.

I love how stupid his design always is. I hope his moveset is as fun as it was in 3...

I remember those first couple days of Soul Calibur 4....

I got matched against the guy with voldo that was customized to look like R Kelly. It was so good. I was laughing so hard I could hardly play against him.

So with Voldo being announced soon, how many more no brained characters do we have left? Astaroth, Raphael, and Cervantes?
