Never played a SoulCal game seriously, just button mashed back in the day. How do these games function? I heard some bad things in regards to design as the games progressed, counter-hits during movement and meter cost for the parrying system and whatnot.
Do you primarily combo confirm in this game or is it kind of just back and forth jousting with low/mid with crumples/juggles into combos? Similar to Tekken?
Focus on SC cast, i want see also these SC characters that get ever fucked by cast choices as Hwang, Li Long, Rock maybe even Arthur etc
Will like to see Astaroth return into his SC1 version, maybe see Lizarman back when was still Aeon Calcos, even if i liked his SCV double axe version
Sieg return in his simple knight phase with zero shitty magic calibur ice, Kilik return to be just chinese staff rep etc, basically remove tons of layers of fantasy crap namco jizzed over an once awesome cast
Will like to see some more SC lore characters, like Setsuka’s Iaido master that was killed by Mitsu or Bangoo or Joahn Durer and so on
Only ones that can stay dead forevah are all Mimics (aside Edgemaster), Necrid and SC3 lore NPCs (or they can stay, but only as NPCs).
Well, SCV successors too, fuck all them.
Also tryhard shit like Abyss and Night Terror
*Well, i know is’nt going to happen, but at least focus on SC first.
Also i hope if they follow Tekken trend they focus on fitting ones (like Geese in TK7) rather than random money catch crap (FF15 emo kid)
Best series to pick from can be Samurai Shodown, ever from SNK like Geese
I know, right? The implementation of the idea in Tekken 7 is honestly fine, despite my initial fears. So, expecting something very similar here, I don’t see the issue.
The supers are the last of my fears, i hated that SC4 crap but i found them ok in SCV
Crap cast cuts in favor of animu successors
Crap mini movesets
Crap art change in favor of random fantasy
Crap guests
Daishi
Crap fans getting what they want
Don’t have the option to switch off peoples CaS online
Nice to see the good old Angel Step and Guardian’s Judgement. Maybe since she didn’t do many shield stuff, can I have hope for her sister? Also, does the impale move has a new follow up or it was just a video edit?
So it looks like Soul Charge is back and now they can cancel moves into the state like KOF. Maybe like in KOFXIV the BE moves are tied to the Soul Charge state and can break the Reversal Edge. I think Mitsurugi cancels into SC to break Sophitia’s RE and Sophitia does a finishing move while during SC to break Mitsurugi’s RE.
And if they did showcase something not listed as “SoulCharge”, I guess Guard Impact and Just Guard are pretty much gone.
You know they won’t do this. Guests are a staple more in SoulCalibur than in Tekken. Hopefully they get it right and I liked how Ezio fit in SCV more than other guests like… Darth Vader.
But if they’re going for the first SoulCalibur, Hwang has a better shot than Yun Seong and Siegfried might be the good old asshole. And if they’re going for a MK9 storyline with Sophitia being like Raiden, I hope for a ton of fuck ups like turning Talim into Nightmare while trying to prevent Sieg getting the sword.
Kratos was god pick too, Sophi already got the greek gods thing going on
The rest was crap lol, all others
But yeah, is something they will do for sure, i just hope they give priority to the SC classic cast before lost themselves into give away the anus for $$$ as usual lol
Commercially yes, i like Link too, easily one of my fav gaming icons
But style wise it did’nt fit much… on visual side grandpa Heiachi was the most fitting/“respectful” SC2 guest imho
Dude himself was cool, IF that was a SW game
But in muh SC he was a piace of crap in a chocolate box
That’s exactly what i hate about the idea of guest… peoples are ok with it crap on the game vibe as long it look “cool”
As long is done as Geese in Tekken(awesome) or Ezio in SCV(could have been done better), no problem with it
