Soul Calibur Thread

[Project Bokuho]

It would be pretty cool as you said if the tournament was for SCVI at Gamescom. Imagine the applause it'd get at the reveal if it went something like this:

"Now, onto our next game. We know it's been a while since we've shown anything regarding one of your favorite fighting games, but here we are today to present something we've been working on for a long time. Something that wouldn't have been possible without your help! We asked you to choose who your favorite fighter was last year to determine the best possible roster, and then we asked again to determine who you wanted to see most, all of it was leading up to this. The two finalists of the tournament are here to determine whose soul burns brighter. Without further ado, I present to you the new Soulcalibur!"

The crowd cheers

The screen behind the presenter shows Siegfried and Taki in enhanced Unreal Engine graphics, both the stage and the characters show stunning detail in their new costumes in a cathedral stage similar to the one in the background. They do their intros with each other:

"Stand aside, or die. That is your choice." - Siegfried
"Don't take any of this personally." - Taki

Then they engage in battle. The fight is close, each showing off new moves and their critical edges. After a hard-fought match, Taki is the winner. She does her outro:

"You fought well. Now, onto my next objective! *does the teleportation spell and disappears*"

The screen turns black, before a logo shoots on to the screen with the announcer proudly yelling "Soulcalibur VI!" and then text follows saying "Coming 2017".

The crowd goes wild, and gamers do too.

The fact that next Wednesday we might finally get a reveal for SC6 after all these years is so amazing. I hope there's a good announcement at gamescom for it. Even if it isn't SC6 I hope it's something like a remake for SC2 or SC3. I won't get my hopes to high though incase they don't reveal it at gamescom and do it later.

SC3 had amazing stages! It made me even happier that a number of them were from SC1, they even reused the music in most of them and some were also remixed. I really liked the SC5 stages too mostly because I am a huge sucker for night stages!

Can't believe the next game hasn't been announced yet, we haven't waited this long for a new SC game before smh.

 

[Tyaren]

Wow, they are so cruel over on the SC Facebook page. They are now posting videos of the characters over the ages. Mitsurugi is first:

https://www.facebook.com/SoulCalibur/

You can see more of that mysterious stage design in the video. It is definitely new...

 

[Jadeinchains]

Okay they have to be revealing the new game at gamescom they just must! I really want to see the characters with new designs. I wonder if Viola will be Amy again?

 

[Tyaren]

Maybe they will do the reveal at Tokyo Game Show in September instead... I mean, they could hold another tournament until then and let the winner of that one and the first tournament fight in a teaser, they also could release more of these characters over the ages videos. They said they are going to post more. But wouldn't these videos become redundant next week when SC6 is announced and hopefully shown. Showing all that old stuff afterwards would be lame.

By the way, look how good SC 4 and SC5 still look. Even better than Tekken 7 imo. SC6 will look amazing! O:

 

[KasumiLover]

I pray they're separate characters so Amy players and Viola players can choose who they want, I love Viola, but I do honestly like Amy more, so elegant and mature and plus Gothic lolita.

Do you mean like they are the same person but you can play as both versions? If so then yeah I agree.

They could do it in September it's really just that I'm excited and want to see a reveal soon so that I know it's happening.

 

[KasumiLover]

Yeah that's what I meant, I hope the story continues on but we can play both versions of certain characters that have that, and Amy/Viola would be the only exception

 

[Jadeinchains]

I guess it depends on if they go forward in their timeline or back. They might go back because of people not liking much the new characters.

 

[Dark-truth]

I hope they bring some old characters back, like talim and zasalamel. They were original.

They're coming back, or at least Talim is, she was the most voted for soul in the characters popularity poll.

 

[Tyaren]

Talim will be there for sure, she won the big character poll a year ago by a landslide. She was also my favorite...but I voted for Yunseong instead because he needed a few more votes.
I liked his design in SC3 the best:

So rowdy. XD

 

[Jadeinchains]

He definitely looks good there. I wasn't a fan really of him in SC4 it he looks really good there. Also I can see Talim getting in if she was high in the voted they did.

 

[Dark-truth]

She is ? Oh my god my friend will be happy

@Tyaren Yungseon is so sexy omg his body <3

 

[KasumiLover]

She is ? Oh my god my friend will be happy

Yess, I like her too she's pretty cute. :-D Hopefully they won't change her up too much

 

[Dark-truth]

Me neither she was only 15 in SC3

I found it funny how SC would always look prettier than Tekken. Never understood how they can't get the latter to not look as good.

 

[deiteu]

Tira is my homegirl. I do think she'll be back but with yet another complete makeover, like always.

It's not just all about the tech but also about the art style as well as talented and committed artists. Project Soul are excelling in this regard, they always did. One of my favorite character designers in the business is also the lead designer of each SC, Takuji Kawano. He's obsessed with beautiful and sensual people (woman and men (which is a rare thing)). All the awesome character artwork we know of the series are done by him. He also sometimes helps out with Tekken:

Too bad she didn't get picked...
