That doesn't sound optimal- given that it doesn't do anything other than damage on a juggle, in a ground combo you'd just get a mix-up instead of damage.

"An article"? Do you have a link? I had to break your post up and address all of these things individually.
False
There are multiple A, B, and K moves that you can use. I have seen some verticals lose to kicks, and then win against them at other times. We don't know if it's on a case by case basis or if it's related to the timing of when the attack is pressed. Nevertheless, there is nuance in the decision making and outcome of the Reversal Edge slow motion game.
"Winning" could grant you a knockback, frame advantage, or put you seemingly at neutral. I've seen follow-ups blocked on multiple occassions.
It consumes the guard gauge.
You can sidestep, backdash, and forward dash during the Reveral Edge slow motion, with each dodging certain types of attacks. Doing so will end the slow motion, and although the person who was dodged can still attack, you are now at frame advantage because you dodged and can punish accordingly. Also, during the Reversal Edge slow motion you can also block and Guard Impact. And all of this is contingent on you getting hit by the Reversal Edge attack in the first place, which is slow, can be sidestepped, blocked, interupted with a normal attack, or blown up at any time, even during the parry portion, with a break attack or a Critical Edge.
I'm not sure what you meant here? If you mean the players select the same attack option during the slow motion, they clash and re-select. We don't know if this will happen more than once yet.
Lethal hit is a new mechanic that causes unique combo states. It also breaks armor, but we don't know exactly how it functions other than it's tied to multiple moves and doesn't happen every time these moves are used. Additionally, you can deliver a lethal hit to an opponent in the same section after the armor has been broken, so it's not just about breaking armor.
There's a new mechanic called Soul Charge, but the way it functions is all new. It's like a hybrid of the old Soul Charge and Max mode from KOF in that you gain access to new and enhanced moves and it also allows you to deal chip damage. On the other hand, it costs one bar of meter, something the old Soul Charge didn't need to do as it was free. We still don't know much about this powerup state, like whether or not you can cancel into it at any time, such as during combos. Either way. it's definitely not just the old Soul Charge. Not that Soul Charge was ever a bad thing...?
True
This has been in every Soul series game. And every Tekken, Virtua Fighter, and Dead or Alive game. Not sure what the issue is.

This is true but it's a tiny amount and due to how fast the movement is in SoulCalibur VI and how much slower the fastest attacks are compared to something like Third Strike, no one will be able to sit a full screen away and whiff attacks to build meter.
Doesn't seem to hurt Tekken to map supers to a macro.
This is seemingly true, and if so it's the one thing that is actually concerning.
Keep in mind, all of these things are from a first showing at a press event. We'll see how the final mechanics shake out after it makes the rounds at tournaments and hopefully a beta or two.

Sure thing, but its in french

Its R2 + backward in that case apparently
Most of those complaints sound like they come from somebody who hasn't spent much time with a 3D fighter, and none at all with the franchise.
Speaking of, some stuff I've overlooked from the article :
- Reversal Edge has an invul frame when you're using it
You can be punished by using a sidestep if the reversal edge user follows up with a horizontal attack
- Armor degradation comes from blocking too much and you won't recover the broken parts between rounds.
Lethal hits being the key to break the armor / deal massive damage on exposed parts
You can beat reversal edge with break attacks. They do very little damage on the first hit and only go into the RPS game, so there are few scenarios where I'd use that and risk a break attack over using the GI which now covers all levels (something I hate, personally).
Armor degradation sounds the same way it has since SC4. I'll wait for more info on the "take more damage to exposed parts." Hasn't been mentioned anywhere else.
In terms of guest characters, I've said this before in a different thread and I'll say it again. Namco Bandai also made games for the Queen's Blade franchise, and those characters would fit just fine in the Soul Calibur world.
I'm thinking....Cattleya.
I'm thinking....Cattleya.
Even if it was like SC4, at worst, it's like an extra 1 point or 2 of damage per hit.
It seemed to me like Reversal Edge basically puts the players in a sort of slowmotion neutral situation rather than a RPS guessing game
What I meant was that it seemed like you had way more options, including movement, rather than the A > K > B >A thing that was posted before
Not sure on what does the one who connects it get as a reward for winning the slow-mo over the opponent...
Well, yeah...

I mean...it's both. You go into the slow mo, you both press a button, and each button can be beaten by another. The difference, I guess, is that there appear to be more than 3 options.

My friend is testing this right now.
39 characters. Geralt as guest character. That's all I got.
I don't believe you, not even the leaker has said anything about that character, as much as I would love to have them in.
Do you trust your friend as much as you're willing to bet your account? I'm not forcing you btw.
Was discussing the other day, Geralt would make a lot of sense. Apparently the author doesn't have a say in game stuff and Witcher 3 is on Xbox, PS4, and PC. As cool as 2B would be. Third party characters seem to always be those available on all consoles. I think it's partly why Kiryu didn't make it into Tekken 7, despite being highly requested.
Doesn't seem ridiculous to me. 3D fighters do a lot of recycling of riggings and animations
I do. And I understand the scepticism. My friend has done QA on a lot of Bamco games, so I have no reason to doubt.
I never understood the reasoning for 2B. Yes she's a popular character but the NieR franchise gas recently only been associated with PlayStation. So 2B never made sense to me for Xbox players. And Soulcalibur hasn't done the console exclusive character things since SC2.
Geralt I can definitely see happening. And people will most definitely flock to the game if they see him.
Actually I almost did yesterday LOL! I was planning it out and everything.
But I thought it would die out immediately.
For the sake of semantics I'll post the message I just got.
"I haven't seen him being played yet, but he appears a few times in the museum part as description of character, so I imagine he is in there."
I don't know which one I want more.
Those were also last gen though. I can't think of any fighters this gen that have done the console exclusive character due to the growth of esports
I'm working on a Character discussion thread atm. Once i'm done we'll move discussion there rather than sitting in an old thread.
These threads always have dry periods between new info but as we get closer to release there will be much more to talk about especially if Namco brings the game to tournaments and we get lots of match footage
Edit: Jawmuncher is making one cool
To be fair, I'm now regretting saying anything. I've given what evidence I have to an admin. That's about all I can do.
Ironically they fit more considering these devs are the ones that put GON as their first guest character on a fighting game
You do realize you're trolling cause there's a legit leak out right now that matches everything revealed so far?
Nice! Thank you!
Honestly I just really want confirmation of Siegfried being a playable character so I really hope he's part if the 39 that you mentioned!
I will check tomorrow if punx's head is on its place. For now it's bunch of nonsense.
Please be excited.
