Okay no announcement sadly but oh well It was fun to watch the fights anyway, Everyone was really good.
I'm sure you're one of the only people who thinks that way. That's how most fighting games reward players for their damage. Damage isn't something that just happens because people "like" to be flashy. It happens because they successfully landed a hit. It means you have to be better at defending. That's all that is. You're not going to change people's minds about how the juggling systems are in fighting games. It's either you play or you don't as harsh as it sounds, but you just have to be able to deal with it by working on your defense. This is why you'll always end up in arguments about this topic. You've been in numerous already as far as I know. It's one of the core concepts of fighting games. Don't like getting juggled, then improve your defense.
Soul Calibur does have a juggling system. It just doesn't put as much of a heavy emphasis on it as other games do. It's there probably even moreso now than ever, just their system leads to mostly grounded attacks. I wouldn't be surprised if they heighted each launcher just a tad before the release date because it would allow for a little more creativity & more of a fun factor. Still won't be like other games, but you'll be receiving significant amounts if you either hit buttons or whiff an attack. They've talked about it several times. So if you "hated" Ivy, Sophitia, & Kilik juggles before, then you'll certainly hate them again. Maybe Taki, too since she usually has juggling properties after her moves. And the damage hurts in this game. Get launched by Nightmare then, you'll be trying to figure out how to get up without getting your neck broke. Same for Ivy & Sophitia. The thing that I do agree with are infinites. They're dumb, but if I got hit, then it's my fault.
Edit: If I had to pick which SC it played like, I'd say SCII or 4. Between those.

I'm thinking Taki and...maybe Maxi or Voldo? I'd imagine Taki anyway which will be cool to finally see her design and what she'll look like, Because the last reveal was Geralt it feels like it's been so long since the last reveal. Also I guess we'll see a new stage too which I'm gonna guess could be something like a Japanese ninja base or something If it's Taki or something. I'd love to see Setsuka, Amy/Viola and Cassandra too but there's not been much talk about them which I'm surprised about since I thought Amy was super popular.
After just Nightmare so far they need to reveal a couple more baddies imo. Otherwise they have to dump them all on us at the same time later, lol.
I just looked up where Amy is located in the big character poll. She's place 13. Just one place above Yunseong. Setsuka and Viola a way below those. If those are in but Yunseong not...

Wow Luke Skywalker is really angry in that gif.
Okay so Amy at least Is placed pretty well on the poll...just watch Setsuka get in over Yunseong. :x ( geninuely I'm not sure If either will get in but there's always the possibility they'll make it. Setsuka was always like Mitsurugi's biggest rival so It would make sense for her to be in.

I want the roster to be the same as Soul Calibur III where it had almost everyone, including the ones who were absent in II such as Li Long and Hwang. I have some low expectations for Amy...even though she's one of my favorite characters. At Soul Calibur VI's point of time, I'm not sure if Amy is already capable of fighting/trained by Raphael, story wise. I don't know how old she is in III and IV (probably 10-12), she's gonna be just a child in Soul Calibur VI unless they'll make some time skip in the story like about a year or two before it takes place in Soul Calibur II when Amy is already trained by Raphael.
Well, it's a surprise, so...we'll see.

A friend of mine saw a leak of the release date of Soul Calibur VI. We don't know if it's true or just a placeholder since Project Soul hasn't officially announced it yet, but it's possible.
It blows me that they're still hiding a lot of things. Half of the characters haven't been revealed yet and Okubo has been staying silent when someone asks about the game's content.

June 29th is a Friday... its very possible that's when it comes out.
Friday is the standard release day in the UK anyway but I'm noticing a lot of games WW and not WW are releasing on a Friday more often.

So it's not true then. That's fine... Let them take their time because I don't want it to be like Soul Calibur V that there's a lot of missing stuff, especially the story mode that was only 25% done.

I dunno why but my hype for character reveals die so quickly...except for the new characters. It's like "Well, that's expected. They had to be there anyway".
Sound effects still sound like squishing fat meat in a bag. I like the sound effects from the previous 2 games better to be honest... Visual effects from his Critical Edge look really nice though.
Well, I'm glad he's in the game, even though I prefer Nightmare over him.

I was hoping for a Taki reveal or something.
Oh well good on a character you like getting in though. I'm surprised though that they only revealed Sieg since I was expecting they'd continue to reveal two characters at a time excluded Geralt cause he was a guest I guess. Also another thing Is that this new stage they've shown looked really nice.
If only we could actually make out what it looks like with all the heavy depth of field blur. If they don't get rid of that I'm not buying that game. :/

Really? You won't be getting it?
The actual stage looks nice anyway It was something I was thinking they would add similar to SC3, An area surrounded by waterfalls and rivers in the mountains with temples and stuff.
