Soulcalibur VI - Lounge

What did the leak say again? Not excited for Amy, but I know there’s people who like her.

Cass is pretty much def coming. A second CaS pack should come after. The distant, potenti season 2 stuff is the curious rumors. Since even before the leaks the fact that new attire art and voice work for key characters was a big clue they could arrive later on. So Hwang could arrive as well. Or Edge Master for that matter.

regarding Nigghtmare and Siegfried ^

In the Amy trailer, they actually used Dance of the Oracle from SoulCalbur V. With crystal ball imagery So looks like SCV is still gonna happen. Amy becomes Viola. Implication that Azwel has a hand in Amy turning into Viola.

Comments from battle director about Amy:

Brought back from SoulCalibur IV, Amy returns as a Rapier wielder having learnt the art of fencing under Raphael. As a fighter, she has a natural talent for ‘reading’ the enemies movements during the battle.
While she has short range and her attack power is on the low side, she can perform many extremely fast techniques to match the opponent’s brute strength in an up-close battle.
While maintaining many of her moves from the previous SOULCALIBURs, SoulCalibur VI adds new actions where she throws roses at the opponent. Even if you have played Amy in the previous games, there are new things to try out this time around. Her unique component in SoulCalibur VI is that she has certain abilities in her movelist that raise an “Abandonment Level” (見切りレベル). Over the course of a match, you can gradually build this up to later unleash a very powerful attack.
As a character, Amy is recommended for players that prefer a more strategic approach to their gameplan that lays their ‘cards’ out early and then over time, build-ups and wins with a ‘strong card’ finish to secure the victory.

Those devil “armor” costumes look like a Digimon evolution of this:

The difference is that those are armor pieces whereas Rachel’s costume is all her :smiling_imp::wink:

article for the frontpage, d3v. Project Soul answers 50 questions from users. Interesting stuff.

  1. Please provide us the frame data for each character and make it available for browsing in the Training Mode.

As Project Soul, not releasing frame data is part of our policy. There reason for this is twofold. The first reason is that the act of figuring out frame data and sharing it within the community is fun and part of the game experience. If we released the data officially we would be undermining this experience many enjoy. The second reason is that officially releasing the data would put off new comers to the series by giving the vibe that the frame data must be studied closely for the game to be enjoyable which is not what we are aiming for.

Having said that, we also are aware that the fighting game scene is becoming more and more competitive each passing day and that many players would enjoy an official release of the frame data. If we were to provide the data, it should be done properly with all the necessary information and explanation. We are not sure if we will be releasing it, but we are open to the idea and are looking into it.

  1. I understand that Character Creation is an important element, however, attacks are sometimes hard to see. Can you add an option to remove custom characters from Ranked Match?

Separating the player base with this option would increase the matching time and possibly give way to being matched against an opponent of a much higher rank because the number of opponents that fit would decrease. We also consider Ranked Match as “a place to show the characters created by you/others”. Therefore, we are not planning on adding an option to remove custom characters from Ranked Match at the moment. However, we are looking into a solution to players using custom characters to gain unfair advantages.

So I wanted to see Amy’s full armor break and picked Raphael CaS for Raphael’s easy Soul Charge undress move… and apparently it breaks no armor at all when used against Amy specifically. Good attention to detail, Bamco!

Minor as it is, for anyone who cared, the continuation of Nightmare’s quest-line in Libra of Soul properly exists now and unlocks the title finally.
It would appear that they removed the ridiculous requirement of having to have done the third, dialogue-only, “Schwarzwind” mission, which could only be done if your scales are tipped towards “good” in Chapter 4, because you have to fight Siegfried in chapter 4, but “evil” characters won’t do this, but then you had to tip your scales back towards “evil” in the postgame to get the last fight to show up. It did exist before, we just discovered this last week, thanks to Azynterrus over on reddit, but now they patched it to “fix” it. Figures.

Wait so Kilik can cancel his SC and his regular CE heal him, that’s pretty huge change, and some characters seems to have new stuff.

Also they seem to finally fix the issue of second hit of Ivy’s SC 4bb

Basically, Talim’s RE cancel got nerfed by a universal change. This also benefits Ivy and 2B honestly. It benefits a lot of people by forcing conservative usage.

More incentives to use soul charge

Is this Viola?

https://twitter.com/Androktasai/status/1110270361591902208

Viola in the orb, and Amy has already begun to lose some of her memories.

These changes seem good. I never thought RE was too good but it was not an engaging mechanic. This seems to give it a cost that should feel good for both players still.

DAY2

top 8

For some reason I can’t find day 2 top 24 to 8. Anyway, intense matches in pools, worth checking out.

Okubo may have dropped some about the new character coming…

https://twitter.com/achilles_Okubo/status/1111619966485188611

If Viola is actually added down the line that considerably opens up the roster possibilities.

Do people even want Viola back? I feel like back in the SCV days everyone hated her.

They hated her infinites. But yes, some people want her back; her mechanics were unique.

Some people also want Setsuke, Hilde and Hwang back for that reason but we all know how important uniqueness is to the development team.
