In past games in the series—and in SoulCalibur 6, too—the fighters' clothes fall off when they are damaged. This is a common feature in sexy anime games like Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash, High School DxD, Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed. In Bandai Namco's presentation on SoulCalibur 6, a spokesperson emphasized the mechanic: "Visually, we realized that the game has to be exciting for people playing, but also, spectators have to be excited as well, too. From round to round, if you continue to land these hits, characters' armors break, costumes change. You could be in your underwear by the end of a match." This isn't deliberately sexy?
"It's interesting you say you don't set out to be sexy," I continued, "because SoulCalibur has traditionally had really elaborate breast physics in the game. That doesn't exist for gameplay, of course."
"I think, as a result, the characters as a result end up being sexy," replied Okubo. "That's not something we can deny necessarily, but in the process of game design, we just really try to go after what we think would be cool actions, cool movement, strong, powerful movements. That is kind of a byproduct of this pursuit of trying to find what we think is pretty cool."
