Hmm something feels of about how those characters look. I guess that's due to new engine

 

[Paladin CL]

Which would be the best thing ever if the design follows suit. the first SC is still the best looking one.

Cautiously optmistic.

Absolutely, I love SC1 designs. I hope they bring back the character creation and great single player models like Soul Calibur 3.

 

[BlindMan94]

Very glad to see SC return, just hope that its an improvement on 5.

Want to see my boy Algol enter the stage of history once again!

Can't wait, hope this game has a high resoution and good AA unlike Tekken 7 on consoles...

Seems like it's PC footage. :]

Looks great though. However, I'm not really keen on the agressive DOF which I think looks a bit out of place and does a disservice to the beautiful details in the background.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Sophitias feet and ankles look terrible, after her armor shatters. As bad as the bare foot DoA5 girls look.
I wish they'd take that armor breaking stuff out of the game. In particular, it ruins previously good looking created character designs on a regular basis.

Feet and ankles?

 

[Ubername]

Feet and ankles?

Is your gripe that ankles could be considered a part of feet or that pointing out feet&ankle animations is pedantic?

I don't have a gripe. I'm just confused.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Feet and ankles?

Yeah, like this

This kind of unsightliness is less obvious to me, when characters have shoes or boots etc on.
Unless Cinderella is in this game, footwear shouldnt shatter like glass anyway.

Ahh, I see now.

 

[Shifty]

So is this one getting Kiryu as a crossover character since Tekken got Noctis?

 

[subsmoke]

New gameplay video featuring returning characters Nightmare, Xianghua and Kilik as well as a new character named Groh. He seems to be the new character shown at the end of the announcement trailer from December.



I don't know about you guys but I can't wait for this. I love me some Soul Calibur.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

I saw the video thumbnail and thought Raiden from MGS was a guest character for a minute. Had to read your post to be disappointed.

 

[subsmoke]

Hey you never know, maybe he will be. I'd say he fits in with the series pretty well. Better than Star Wars characters anyway.

I'd love if they stopped using that DOF during gameplay. It looks bad and it's distracting. Also, stop making the ground break EVERYTIME a character falls, just to have the ground pretty as new in a few seconds. Yes, I know this happens in almost every 3D fighter nowadays.

 

[Pejo]

I love when twinblades make it in to a game. They're so impractical but damn if they're not cool. Especially when they split apart.

Like the new character, am pumped my main Kilik made it in. Day 1 for sure.

 

[splattered]

Waaaa what's with that bit at the very end??

 

[Spazznid]

Im IN.

 

[subsmoke]

Waaaa what's with that bit at the very end??

It looks like Kilik's Critical Edge attack.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

The new male character looks too soft/feminine/generic anime-ish for me.
Nightmare looks good. That charging horse bit was cool.

 

[CaptainLoveline]

Xianghua is in? Now I actually have hope for this game.

 

[xyzls]

Is it just me or has Kilik's staff been growing shorter every game.

 

[ReBurn]

Very excited for this.

They're taking it back to Soul Calibur 1.

How do you say "Welcome to the stage of history" in Japanese?

Mitsurugi's face does look generic as fuck though

It always was. Imagine samurai. His face.

 

[Artistic]

Day 1 Purchase hopefully.

 

[TannerDemoz]

Waiting to lots of groin thrusts as Voldo in glorious 4K

 

[Muchacho]

It always was. Imagine samurai. His face.

Yo dawg. If you imagine badass looking samurai, you should be thinking Mitsurugi. But that aint what I'm seeing in SC6. I feel like he's getting the same cg treatment as Superman's face got in Justice League.
I still have hope though.
Since the original Soul Edge / Soulcalibur I've always believed that someday ingame Mitsurugi's face would look like this.
How difficult could it be to find that 3d model and up the poligon count on that mofo.

 

[subsmoke]

Here's more new gameplay footage. Ivy and Zasalamel are confirmed.



Ivy's fighting style is really cool and I gotta say I'm surprised they didn't cover her up at all with all the criticism from the social justice crowd over female characters in skimpy outfits. If anything it looks like they went in the opposite direction. The Japanese truly give no fucks.
