Banned. At least, that is the verdict at this time. All of the bickering above is mostly people either throwing out ideas for how to make it legal, people refuting those reasons, or people just bickering about characters in general.
So its confirmed that zasalamel, talim and friends are really dlc? Dlc characters shouldn’t really be a unique style in the game that people are used to.
Shuma and jill are great examples, I don’t know how freqently they’ll be purchased but I don’t like the idea but I still want the game
I could realy care less about a create a styles characters inclusion in tournament play. It sounds silly to bicker about, I didn’t realize everyone who played sc played in tournaments.
No, it is not. That is the speculation. We’re not even sure if their souls are available in CaS.
Because they are rushing this game MvC3 style and don’t have time for more characters.
Thanks. So no point in learning DJin competitivly?
True. I was wondering why this game was announced after SfxT yet its coming out way before it. I hope they dont come out with a “Legendary Soul Calibur 5” or anything…
honestly I’m just buying the game for character creation+ it looks closer to SC2 than anything namco put out recently.
Looks that way, but don’t quote me on it. There’s no telling how things might change.
There are still arguments and shit slinging, I do think there will be small local tourneys that will break the 8wayrun consensus and try to run tourneys with DJin, but the big tourneys that understand the logistical problems will probably support 8wayrun’s stance. Either way Daishi seems to be a nice guy determined to make this game a hit in EVO and seeing everyone ban DJin might convince him to change the CAS only bullcrap.
Good, I hope their concerns about Setsuka and Talim reach more of the staff. I agree on the Ivy thing lol. I hope there are SCIV costumes.
Damn straight. I want my women sluttier but yea they normalized that sorta stuff for this game for sure. Conservative. I feel the fanservice generates alot more buzz about the game even though some vastly hate it.
People make a bunch of half naked chicks anyways like the last soul calibur.
Yea ppl judge the game before it comes out then those same ppl never pick up and play the game. Good or not might not matter but I am hoping this is wrong. The game looks great but my biggest question is will ppl buy this game accepting some major changes with it.
Ah the fun where there isn’t an arcade standard…
I’m hoping for evo parry moments to be back and all that awesome stuff. This game looks like 3rd strike+ “oldschool” tekken/ sc2 stepping+SC.
However stuff taking meter that didn’t before is a little lame, but it does add a balance factor on the other side of things.
Kilik’s stick is too darn short, but it may be a buff in the long run.
The heck is up with evil soph/cass jr and EX patrokalos? They just copying other fighting game companies’ trends now?
EIN/ZWEI seem like the “Urien” of this game. Mid tier with broken stuff.
I’m okay with the characters not being ridiculously slutty anymore. It started to get a little bit ridiculous in 4.
I thought Japan was mad because Asian female characters were either dropped or eurasianed LOL pretty obvious to me 
Taki - blonde
Mina - dropped
Talim - dropped
Xiaoyu - ?
Ivy - tick
Hilde - tick
Alexandria supersaiyjin - tick
Mystic patroklos (look closely at a pat character select) - tick
So what’s the word on Kilik? Is he the 4th mimic, or does he have his moveset?
He’s a mimic.
So… is it time for this game to get its own forum? Game is coming out soon and we are at 2515 replies already.
What the Fuck 4th Mimic?!?! See this is what I’m talking about. There are “only” 3 mimics.
Kilik is not a Mimic. Kilik/Mina is Xiba.
Someone find the game in the USA and express post it to me.
Or I’ll drive to you if in Buffalo.
Please.
I didn’t know Hilde and Ivy are asian or have ever been asian…
That story mode stuff is a total "wut"
I do wonder when Bamco will start taking about DLC, I’m guessing around Dampierre’s release
