I went on 8WayRun and this was a paragraph of something that was being discussed on there btw as a part of a larger apparent leak, Although the confusing thing is is a couple of pages after this was posted someone that this leaker was making stuff up? So I really don't know but It's all on 8WayRun If you want to see it there -

https://8wayrun.com/threads/soulcalibur-6-news-leaks-and-information-discussion.19792/page-136

"While that part was interesting and all, most interesting is that there is apparently one character design that A LOT of people on the dev team wish they ended up doing, but ultimately decided against, at least for the time being. I take it this character has no chance of making the launch roster at all because of that.
But there was apparently a lot of the Japanese design team into the "large and muscular women" character type idea and the "dark skinned women" archetype that they noticed is popular now in fighting games with many of the new installments in major franchises including one like Guilty Gear (Ramlethal), Street Fighter (Menat), and Tekken (Master Raven). And even non-fighting game characters like Urbosa.
They said that some of the people working on the game are fans of an artist called 23 who also goes by sela_god and Real XXIII, and that some of their work that's of big, muscular, dark skinned women was inspiring said female character design to some extent that they wanted to put in the game but didn't have the opportunity to."

...apparently the artist they are talking about at the end is a hentai artist which is something. :/ Lol, Don't like when It's fit into an archetype but maybe that's the muscular part but the character can be a dark skinned woman without having to be an "archetype" but like I said maybe It's the whole muscular thing, Anyway though the idea for a character like this sounds really cool the sad thing Is is the idea that they might have not been able to do it I guess which means she probably won't be in the game and this also seems to be why there's seemingly going to be no new female characters in SC6 which sucks. :I

But yeah I'd be here for a dark skinned "muscular" female character, I'd would be cool to see what country of origin she'd be from and what she'd have in terms of a weapon and clothes etc and what country etc it would be based on?

No new female character (even DLC) is impossible.

Urbosa would be a great guest by the way. :D

I didn't know there was such a trope known as "dark skinned muscular woman". I just classify them as amazons (like Rachel)..

Urbosa was so awesome in that game she really would be a great guest character and yeah I don't get why it needs to be called an archetype or trope It's just it's own thing.

Seeing Urbosa here reminds me there is still the rumor of a Switch version out. I wonder how terrible that version would end up looking like, lol. UE4 is compatible with Switch, but they still would have to downgrade the game to oblivion in the visual department. They can't slash the framerate in half to 30fps as they do with many other ports (Doom, Wolfenstein, Sonic Forces) to gain a bit more wiggle room, the game needs to be be locked 60fps as a fighter.
Already the Xbox One, which is considerably more powerful than the Switch, struggled so much with Tekken 7, just running the game in 720p and heavily downgraded effects. What would the game run like on Switch? x__X
One thing though, if the character models look about the same on Switch, then we know why they are so polygon starved and partly reused from last gen: to accommodate the Switch version.

So do you mean by this the idea that the reason the models are reused is cause It's going to be on switch? I really hope that isn't the reason why but then I also consider doubt at this point that It's even going to be on switch since they said something about how they started work on the game before they knew about the switch.

Urbosa is an iconic queen though so If she somehow was a guest on somehow a switch version I'd be cool with that. However never mind that since apparently because they couldn't get whatever it was they were doing with the "muscular dark skinned" character we won't be getting that character and we also won't be getting a single new female character in this game!

Ohhh so that's why all the characters lack facial animation and look dead!

I'd actually be happy to have SC6 on Switch.

Maybe it's also to make sure CAS equipments work well on all the character models ? Looks promising then.

From everything I've seen yeah It seems that way, Obviously though I'm hoping those rumours are false and that there will be one.

Maybe we shouldn't give so much weight to all the rumors? It has become a bit crazy at this point, lol. Let's wait and see as in olden days, lol.

Yeah lol I think I'm going to just wait and see because there are so many rumors for SC6 and It's getting crazy. So I'll just watch and see what happens If we get a new female character, If there's 22 characters or more etc.

YES YES ALL MY YES!!
A. 23 is a REALLY good artist for tanned buff girls.
B. this is literally my fetish and basically all I've been making in SCV and SCIV lately
C. PLEASE make a muscular dark skinned tough gal! Extra props if she's silver haired with red eyes.

Does anyone actually find that attractive? XD This is so badly drawn and shaded.
She also should pay the doctor a visit for her really bad sunburn spots. D:

Lol...eh yeah I was going to say the same thing, I guess they are supposed to be where the light is shining? But It just being these red and then ultra white bits shining all over her doesn't look that great. I don't know this character but I'm gonna guess it's a character with a tan? Rather than a character who's actually dark skinned?

Edit: Lol this was so annoying trying to post this, It just wouldn't post.

The director about "Naitomea":


@Brute



Literally had the same problem. Are you using Microsoft Edge too?

Nah It was just something stupid with my internet connection for a minute there...well more than a minute actually. The second I clicked post reply that little triangle exclamation mark thing popped up over my 4 bar connection and just wouldn't go away no matter how much I reconnected..and then suddenly it went away and I could send the reply.
