Honestly, I hope this game isn’t going to be racist again
Wasn’t there also something about Taki doing some ninja surgery to extract some Soul Edge shards that embeded themselves in Sophitia’s flesh or something?
how is sc racist?
Cause there’s a lot of Aryan I guess
YES.
Between Soul Blade and Soul Calibur, before Sophie became a MILF. It’s possible that her injury may have tainted her and something passed down to one (or both) of her kids. Tira was hellbent on making one of the kids a host for Soul Edge during SC3. SC4 shows how susceptible Sophie can be even after all this time. Pyrrah may be the ‘black sheep’ of the siblings.
Her outline art seems to show some comedic irresponsibility however, in line with Cassandra. So we’ll see.
They really should went with a name change. “Soul _______” to coincide with the generational shift.
At the core was that the characters had movesets. The game was also fairly gimmick free. No chain combo, no red-GI, no CF, no armor, you could SC, you could SCUB, you could SCGB at various levels of SC, many characters had lots of move cancels, guard break worked well, the characters had lots of chargable moves. SC2’s only big weaknesses was overpowered step and perhaps 2G if you wanna bitch about it. Other then that some general tweaking to GI and balance. I could go into more detail but don’t wanna waste the time.
In 3 and 4 Namco kept beating off to reduced move sets compensating for their laziness with gimmick shit. How is a FG sequel supposed to be better w/ less moves? Jack 5 to Jack 6 is a great example, Jack 6 has more or less everything J5 has and lots more. From Raph 2 to Raph 4 is not the same story. Raph 2 has sooooo many more moves and tricks than Raph 4. If SF was like SC then Ryu wouldn’t have a hurricane kick anymore and Ken would have lost his FB, oh and Ryu’s SRK would be nerfed needlessly too and SF would be worse off.
If V doesn’t restore the flexibility of character movesets and options it’s gonna suck. No amount of Vader or mechanic changes will compensate for this.
I vote “Soul Caliper: Girth of Souls”.

I would have loved “Soul Destiny”.
It would seem Pyrrah is anything but ‘evil’. I guess I was right about her outline. Looks cute, though, has a Cassandra vibe to her.
Maybe Patroklos is the evil one!!!1!
I’ve actually considered that. His profile art seems… too confident. And he has a strange look in his eye during the trailer.
Pyrrah is essentially Cassandra if she had Sophitia’s hair by the looks of it.
That probably means the return of fan service attacks, inexplicably added to Cass in SC4 (her cheerleader kick was awesome, though - for many reasons).
I like that Pyrrah is taking over her Aunt. I liked Cassandra more than Sophitia. Though I still like to her back or know she had rugrats of her own.
Cassandra was my secondary in SC2 behind Nightmare, I’ve always preferred her to Sophitia. Wasn’t really a fan of the fan-servicy things they did to her later on though. Always found those sorts of things incredibly tacky.
Guile would be reduced to only having his sweep, spinning backhand, and his sf2ww jabs.
I used to main Cass in SC2. I remember beating people up with her in the office pools.
If someone can translate Japanese, SC5 should be discussed on Famitsu’s livestream.
Yeah and then old SC farts like me would say “I don’t wanna fuckin’ play incomplete characters”. Especially since Namco has a bad history of failing to remotely balance their games and does dumb shit like give X crouch grabs.
