Talim Revealed for SOULCALIBUR VI
- Thread starter Big Tent Expat
- Start date
I'm hearing people say the new VA is Kira Buckland, who voiced 2B.
Yeah this game takes place across the whole sc timeline and it looks like talim's story takes place near the tail end of the timeline, where she's 14 or 15.
Considering that she got cut from SC5 for reasons and they didn't replace her with anyone with Tonfas, it is great to see her back.
Now it leaves me to wonder what the SC character will be revealed at EVO. Alot of people said that if there was a character that would be showcased, it would have been Talim as she was the most requested. I don't think that Voldo or Astaroth will have as much of an impact while Cervantes might. Maybe they could use this time to announce the return of "Console Exclusives" and we could see the return of Kratos sporting a beard and axe (and whoever would be the rep for Xbox).
Wishful thinking, but I get more excited for SC6 with each new character trailer.

I would be really happy to NOT have console exclusive characters, because not only is that a character that won't return, it also means that no version is complete. Also, Soul Calibur has Bearded Axedad already and he's way cooler than Kratos.
I think a new character could have pretty good impact, and it's probably a female character. Then they can add Cervantes+Asta+Voldo+Lizardman in the last update like they usually did.
She was clearly brown in SC3. In this new one she doesn't even have a tan, she's lily white...How is she whitewashed? She's always had just a slight tan, barring SC3 where she's actually pretty close to non white. SC2 for example:
Are we actually getting a new character at E3? It's natural to think, "hey, that would be a pretty good idea marketing-wise", but the same could have been said about E3, and we got jack shit there.
SC3 was nice but it's the outlier here, talim's new model has the same skin as sc4, and her sc2 skin is quite close. SC4 was a real low point for her, in terms of both design and tiers :(
Given how all the newcomers were rejected hard in SC5- to the point where they were the entire bottom of the char popularity poll, and my belief that a failed SC6 would be the end of the franchise- I'm not surprise they're playing it safe with the roster. If anything, they're not playing it safe enough and the SC3 base roster (minus bosses, mimics and extra characters) should all be in at launch, just like how MK9 had the MK1-3 base roster.
If the DLC finishes out the roster I'll be happy with it- I'd rather see the roster finished than have more guests or more new characters. I'd rather have chars like Setsuka flesh it out.
The Filipina girls I know as friends have very similar skin tone. I don't see her as whitewashed like I did VF5 Vanessa.
She was born in the JP SCII arcade release on July 10 2002, making her 15. But her birthday's in 3 days :V
This is Street Fighter IV all over again. Go back to the safe choices and build from there. Remember that the original version of SF4 literally had the cast of Street Fighter II Turbo with a new set of four newcomers.
I wouldn't mind if SC6 simply added more characters over the next two years or so, and then you can port it to next-gen with all characters included just like Ultra SF4.

I'll be very happy if they bring back nearly everyone via DLC (even better if they do that with the base roster, but there's no chance that's happening). The SC franchise has been in such a bad state the past 10 years:
- Project Soul wanted to release Broken Destiny to Xbox 360 and/or PS3, but higher-ups declined.
- SC5 got released 4 years later but a lot of fans were disappointed (mainly because of the roster).
- Next SC title was Lost Swords which was ridiculed by the press, hated by a lot of fans, and got shut down rather quickly.
- Next SC after that was Unbreakable Soul, a smartphone title which got shut down even faster.
- And there was a pachinko SC game mixed in somewhere, which I might as well not mention.

Why do you even bring a weapon when you have such cutting edge forearms.Screenshot comparison of SC4 Talim and SC6 Talim: https://8wayrun.com/threads/soul-calibur-vi-general-discussion.19804/page-422#post-747093
Now I understand those "it's looking sharp" posts.
They have to make up for all the characters they cut from the last game so "this old character is back" has as much hype as a new character right now. In fact, I'm not sure anyone really got all that excited about Gro.
Yeah, after all the favourites they took out in 5 an old character coming back is more hype than a new comer.
I'm expecting maybe a couple more new characters and the rest will be old.
Now I just need to figure out if this is the flawless Soul Calibur 2 Talim, or the abomination that was the Soul Calibur III Talim.
Can anyone tell? I just saw a few standard combo strings that she has in both.

Didn't even notice that. Really, I wonder what the budget for this game is.
Looks like a new move entirely. An auto-Reverse Edge, in place of an auto-GI.
She can now heal, and has an air-stance? Holy shit!
Seems her soul charge is a big deal this time, possibly giving her new moves? In the video at least one combo has her weapons glowing blue the entire time.

Nice.
Always liked her since she reps my place.

Filipinos have all sorts of Skin tone that ranges from black to brown to white. She could have any skin tone and it'll be fine mostly because our country is a melting pot of various races. Even coming from a tribe, skin tone vary as well depending on where the tribe is. There are tribes who live in the mountain regions that doesn't allow outsiders to marry into their tribe yet their skin is very fair.

Looking at it closer I'm not sure if it's something automatic that happens after BB, or if she just manually used her regular old RE.
I don't think the name "air rage" implies it happens in the air, it might just be the name of the stance because all of Talim's stances are named after wind and air. Perhaps it's that backwards-moving auto GI stance she did against Zas that lead into the big wind punch.
No, it's just the third hit is a normal RE attack. As in, it parries stuff on startup, you can hold it if you want to parry more than one attack, and then when you release the vertical attack comes out. It can be blocked unless fully charged. Only if it hits it goes into the slowdown RPS game.
iirc the third hit doesn't combo even on CH, it's basically to catch people swinging at you after BB.
Sort of, but most of them are back now. Asta, Voldo, Cerv and Liz weren't missing in SC5. I'm 100% certain they'll be in and I don't give a damn. What could excite me now is Mi-Na, Hwang, Hilde, Rock or a brand new character. Rock is the least necessary because I could feasibly make him in CAS.
I hope that at least mostly sticking to the SC1 roster gives them a chance over goth circus girl and goth vampire guy and goth lolita.
Man, the more I think of it, I really don't like SC2. Talim is fine, but I absolutely can't stand Cassandra, Raphael or Yun-Seong. Also, the arcade version replaced Sophitia, Mi-Na, Rock, Siegfried and Hwang entirely. That's why I wasn't too bothered with SC5, because I had already lost a bunch of favourites once. Only Taki, Mitsurugi and Voldo were left from the Soul Edge cast!
Wait , unless i don't understand this sentence well ... taki wasn't in SC5 , wasn't she replaced by natsu , her disciple ?

OP
I think he means he wasn't bothered by what happened in SC5, because the arcade version of SC2 already dropped a bunch of characters. Only Mitsu, Taki, Voldo, (and Cervantes) made it from SE to SC2.
