Uh...that is actually exactly the rumor/leak we were talking about in here before. ;)
I'm not sure the additional info about moveset switching and Kilik was in there before. Was it?
Most people seem to believe the guy since he has leaked stuff before and since many signs have been pointing to a SC6 release in the last couple of months.
Regarding Kilik:
Kilik is one of the game's favorite characters (as we saw in the big character poll). I totally believe that he will be back and that he'll get more importance again, even with a new rival. Sounds cool. :)
Regarding the moveset switching:
I'm not really a fan of stuff like that. :/ Can complicate everything quite a bit. I usually avoid characters that switch fighting styles...

Maybe it's like in MKX where there are 3 different styles. Didn't like that.
I'd rather have one unique fully-developped moveset per character than several.

PSX can't come soon enough.. (or apparently that Nintendo Direct)

Another source confirms the SC6 rumors/leaks!
https://www.reddit.com/r/Kappa/comm...irm_and_deny_some_of_the_leaks_that/?sort=new

These were the rumors that were confirmed:
"I was told it'll be for PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch. There was no Xbox One version mentioned to me. The game should be revealed by the end of the year and make its 21st anniversary at least. One trustworthy source told me it would be revealed at PSX."

@Nyte, where are you by the way?

...Okay I semi want to be happy that it seems like it's finally going to happen but I still just can't, I need to see it actually revealed and only then can I be happy about SC6 being finally revealed... And I'm still hoping we get a doa6 reveal too.

The question is, if all this is true, is if Bamco will finally admit that taking out Step-G post SC2 and all the tweaks made to make the game work without it is what's made almost all installments post SC2 be problematic from a gameplay point of view.

I'm cautiously optimistic. Apparently the game takes place after the time skip, which is bad, but it's also mentioned there are a number of retcons, which is good. I just need to know that Taki is in the game before I can truly say I'm hyped for it.

The leaker (he did leak other stuff right, like Enchantress and TMNT in Injustice 2) went into a bit more detail regarding Soul Calibur 6:

-> Soul Calibur is for PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch. No info on an Xbox One version yet. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but don't be surprised if there isn't one.

-> The game will be revealed in December.
On either the 7th, 8th, or 9th most likely (7th = The Game Awards, 8th = PSX Opener and Fête des Lumières, 9th = PSX)
If they still opt not to do it on those dates for whatever strange reason, then on its anniversary on the 20th.

-> One of the reasons that Soul Calibur VI was never revealed for its anniversary last year in December, even though they were building up to a reveal even as late as the fall of last year was because they ran into technical issues that sent the game into a mini development hell of sorts.

-> The game was still in the motion capture stage even back in May of this year.

-> The thing I heard was the cause or most likely cause for the delay was the implementation of a moveset / style switching thing in particular (like having multiple movesets per character, weapons even). Since that not working out how they wanted was such a big deal to its direction and draw to the game, delaying it until they either figured it out or decided to ultimately nix it was something they went back-and-forth on but was retained in a certain capacity, however. You will understand what I mean by this eventually.

-> Kilik is back and uses his staff moveset again, not the Weapon Master thing that everyone hated on SCV. He will have a new rival too.

-> Gameplay and mechanically, Supers are back and as far back as July, there was some kind of universal mechanic like V-Triggers.

-> Huge focus on story elements.

-> I know of two veteran characters at the moment. I can't say who quite yet. But they're very obvious inclusions that aren't surprising at all. They were both on SCV. They aren't characters who originated on SCV. I don't know any of the characters introduced on V that are returning or not yet. These two characters have been on every numbered entry since introduced, but were introduced in different games.

-> I know of three newcomers. The one that I know the most about is very unique and different, being a first ever for the series mechanically. Their unique weapon style is blade based. This character is important to the story, but not the main focal character.

-> The other new character has ties to the aforementioned.

-> The third new character I know about is suspected to be a Fire Emblem character for reasons I cannot divulge.


Fire Emblem? o__O' On PS4???

Well that's very interesting if it turns out to be true, A fire emblem character? I wonder if that's true if they'd be the guest for the switch version and the ps4 version would have a different guest character? Or maybe the both versions will have the fire emblem character? Who knows though, Still not going to get my hopes to high though with the reveal and leaks of SC6 etc until I actually see it revealed, Once it's revealed I can start being more hyped about the new game.

I don't think Nintendo would ever allow a Fire Emblem character to appar on the Playstation version. So I guess that character is indeed a Switch exclusive character and Sony will get another character. Over on ResetEra I already posted my most wanted guest characters:

- Dante (Devil May Cry)
- Geralt (The Witcher)
- Cloud (Final Fantasy VII)
- Ike (Fire Emblem)

They all would be badass. O:

I want his more stance based gameplay from 2 back but I’d be happy with just his return.

I remember playing SCIV Yun Seong then going back to play SCIII/2 Yun Seong. I really hate how they watered down characters like him, Raphael, and Ivy when it came to their stances. Ivy was fine in SCIV but they killed her stances in V. IMO no one was hit harder then Raph with the stance nerfs. The character became trash.

I'm hyped for Geralt.... It would be nice to play a game where his sword play is actually worthy of being called a Witcher.

I'm actually still not sure who I'd want as a guest for SC6? I'm guessing they'd go for someone Iconic anyway and there's a good chance we'd get one for PS4 and one for Switch. For switch I'd definitely say Link or a fire emblem character are big possibilities being iconic Nintendo characters and being sword fighters... Thinking of others though...Bayonetta is now exclusive to Nintendo..and the designer of her as designed stuff for SC in the past..and she's like a 500 year old witch...Bayonetta could be the Nintendo guest character basically is what I'm saying lol. :p Would be awesome if she was but who knows.

For PS4 I'm really not sure? I'd say what would be iconic and would fit would definitely be someone like Geralt although I'd be definitely happy with seeing a Final Fantasy character in the game too, Cloud and Squall and other's with swords would fit and would be iconic although I wonder If it would be someone like Lightning maybe? She's more recently iconic and has a sword too... Not sure again, There's so many characters they could go for with FF.

Regarding about the guest characters. I just hope one of them won’t involve with Console Rights like the Nintendo characters from Zelda & Fire Emblem for example.

I do hope my waifu Talim is in. & SC6 better be similar as Marvel Legacy & Generations consisting both veterans, SCV rookies & this game’s newbies, as long one of them are worthed for the storyline importance.
