I would say it's a good thing you don't work at Namco, but after SCV, I'm sure they'll come up with something worse.

what exactly would be bad about bringing them back?
And we already saw "worse" with SC5.
They have fugly designs, useless movesets and generally contribute nothing of value except pandering to a handful of hipsters.

that goes for over half the regular SC cast as well though
movesets i give you though but deviating movesets are how we wound up with new characters before as well. sophitia, cassandra, kilik seung mi-na, Nightmare and his human half i forget his name, raphael and amy, rock and astaroth, etc
I'm generally unsympathetic to arguments that devolve to "lackluster shit is okay because there's even more lackluster shit." It's predicated on the assumption that I'm positively disposed to the other lackluster shit when I rarely am.
LOL... Oh my, the bolded stuff are gunna piss off veterans of the series. Sounds like Namco is trying to Tekken-7-fy SCVI. One button supers? Yeah because 1-button Rage Arts really added to Tekken 7's gameplay depth amrite? The Reversal Edge sounds more and more unappealing the more I hear about it. At least they'll look cool like the Critical Edges.
However props to making GI's meterless and attempting a tutorial, something that *coughstekken7coughs* doesn't value. I also look forward to the character creation mode because they would have to deliberately go out of their way to make it worse than Tekken 7's customization mode.

I gotta agree with Brute, it's a good thing you don't work for Namco or produce any fighting games in general. Why do people care about the SC4 guests so much? They just feel like CaS characters inspired by anime, weeaboo designs.
Furthermore did you really forget Shura's name? It was the easiest to remember. Also, please don't tell me you forgot Seigfried's name (unless you're thinking of someone else). That's a big SoulCalibur fail right there.

well in my case, I like Kamikirimusi because she's the kinda archetype that i like (short haired rough girl). It also helps that her weapon is more suited to Nightmares fighting style than the actual blade he uses, so that's a nice touch.
Ashlotte is part of the actual story and clockwork doll is a cool design.
Scherezade, never heard any love or hate for her, just included her because
yes, because she's the one i personally gave the least shits about. I know others loved her the most because of the sexy, but she's not my type.
blame dark souls, i've been dealing with a lot of Seig's lately i was mixing up names.
also keep in mind they could easily come up with more unique movesets for them.
I just feel like its a waste to come up with original characters for SC then simply not use them again.
I drop angol fear because thats literally just a pallete swap of angol noir or whatever from sgt frog, the artist wasn't even TRYING there, and he already used angol fear in his actual manga later on.
tbh i like that better. more fighting the opponent, instead of the controls.
All four of the anime guests are dumb and would add nothing substantial to SC6 over producing new characters.
So you're the reason why fighting games like Tekken 7 have one button supers, and other modern fighting games have one button specials?
236236H+P+K (which is usually set to a macro, i.e. one button), is too difficult to perform? You can just mash 2323 too also. How the hell did anyone play fighting games 10-20 years ago? By gitting gud and learning how to play properly, not by making the game pretty much play itself.
It really does feel like the FGC is moving towards making everything Divekick in like 10 years or less.

all four of those characters created specifically for SCIV were better than all the new SCV characters combined.
So whats your complaint about, again?
too UNRELIABLE when playing online. dropped inputs and all that. it's like trying to get a 360 input to fucking read when playing a 2d fighter online. It's a struggle sometimes.
I must be the only one here that actually liked Ezio in SCV lol. Personally I thought he fit in just fine and had a fun move set.
As for SC6 guests, my moneys on either Geralt from the Witcher or William from Nioh.

Git gud.
Not really. It's like saying one pile of shit is better than the other.
-_-
Online "balance" doesn't matter. It's just a laggy, illegitimate shitshow regardless. The input is consistent offline as long as you input it properly. SCVI doesn't need to be easier than SCV. SCV is already the easiest SC, and is easier than most FG's anyway.
No offense, but folks really need to stop making excuses and actually TRY to get better (not saying names). People who complain 24/7 about SC being "too hard," waiting for a free handout, are the reason why SCV axed certain stances (ex: Ivy's whip and coiled state, Mitsurugi's relic stance), movesets, etc. Again, I'm not saying names but it's starting to get annoying.

My only hope is that it doesn't become Tekken 7 2.0 where I love the game but it has next to no SP content...
Starting character roster likely to be "just" 20 characters strong. Here a screen from the character select:
At least two of these spots will be new characters I guess. Damn...I worry a little for Yunseong, who made place 14 in the popularity poll. :/ But they left him out in SC5 without any replacement, so the might feel they have to include him now again, right? :/
And here's the first, real, uninterrupted gameplay:
Here's another video, including the character select, which looks quite nice...
Last but not least, a Switch version is for now not in the works:

New screens
https://www.dualshockers.com/soulcalibur-vi-screenshots-sophitia-mitsurugi/
Based from how Sophitia is deaigned in this game, it looks like Dead or Alive with weapons.
I remember Sophitia is using the same costume when I first played as her in SCII but more covered.

It doesn't look like DOA. DOA has very polished character models, already in DOA5. Here I can literally count the polygons used in the polygon mesh. The base character model (not the costume) is exactly the one from SC4, which is 10 years old.
Bandai Namco are so lazy and cheap and people still go around and say these games look so amazing. >__> No wonder Bamco doesn't feel the need to change a thing.
