Allow him to hold Ein attacks for a while. Ein appears on screen and sits there while you get to move around and continue attacking. Ein attack becomes a break attack if held for the full length. Lethal hit if Ein interrupts certain attacks that would have hit you.
Not a Zwei player so just thinking about stuff that would make him more unique or interesting
It's completely different.
They updated his design just like they did with other characters like Mitsurugi, Maxi, etc. Just because it's still similar doesn't mean it's the same.
I wouldn't say Hwang is completely different, but it feels like Mitsurugi's and Sophitia's designs to me in that there are some differences but it's pretty close to their SC1 design. Plus it's not like having an almost exact SC1 design hasn't happened for anyone in the roster already. Look at Nightmare; he looks almost exactly like he does in SC1.
Exactly this.
I was pointing it out because people were trying to use it as "proof" he wouldn't be in the game.
Yeah same. Thought it was weird how people were writing him off when Mitsu, Sophitia, Nightmare and Ivy have EXTREMELY similar looks to their SC1 designs.
Man, he looks nearly identical. The gloves? Identical. The waistband? Identical. Headband? Identical. The only difference I see in his shoulder emblem is that it looks a little more oblong than in his official renders from 1999. Besides that, you can already find inconsistencies between his drawings in the game.
The purple trim on his neck cloth is gone in middle picture, and his emblem is nowhere in sight on the top picture (I know he's flipped, but given the emblem's size, it should still be visible).
The only consistent differences I've seen are that the inner part of his neck cloth is not purple and the design by his right shoulder is missing, but it's also missing in his original SC1 art, so maybe it's just hard to draw.
Besides that, this is far beyond the similarities other characters bear to their SC1 selves. Nightmare's general design might be similar to his SC1 self, but his armor has far more additional detail than it ever had back then. Hwang's detail is about 1 to 1 with his classic self.
I'd like to see playable Hwang, but I think you're reaching here.

You proposed the idea that since he had the same outfit his chances were diminished compared to Cassandra. That's not reason enough, but even that's now been disproven.
When did I say that? I'm just saying that his design isn't new, even relative to other classic-leaning designs.
When Cassandra was discovered in the story mode, I mentioned that Hwang was also present in the story and you replied...
Implying that his design presumably being the same somehow lessened his chances compared to Cassandra.
Oh, back then. Well, I stand by that. While I think it's possible that the likes of Cassandra and Amy were only redesigned because they had no official appearances for SC1's time, I think it presents a better case than Hwang, who looks almost identical to his SC1 self, besides very minor artist's embellishments. Or rather, reverse embellishments as it seems more detail is missing than has been added.
For the record, I don't care for Amy or Cassandra. If the SP includes them, Tira, and a 4th who I'm not interested in, I might seriously consider just buying the CaS packs separately. I would much rather have Hwang. If Aeon is locked somewhere in the base game, then he (or Yun) is my most wanted for DLC. I just don't think his design can be considered new in the way the others are.
If only the modelers cared about butts as much as this artist.Ivy story image possibly late in her story. Man she looks great here.
I was talking about the original art in Scotia's post.
One has underboobs, one has fully exposed legs and almost seems like she doesn't have underwear. Plus, her boobs are visible in ways her outfit shouldn't allow. Plus, the original damsel in distress situation, which of course was kept because of course.Cool little reference from Mina's story mode (last one I'll post I swear):
Maybe underboobs are more triggering for some people, but it's not like the original art was not heavily sexualized.
I'm not arguing that SC6 is worse or better than SC1. I'm saying that SC1 seems more tame in 2018, because the times have changed. SC1 when it was released was plenty lewd, much sexier than Tekken and Street Fighter, a step behind DOA. I'm not sure how DOA6 will end up being, but if we keep DOA5 for the example, I'd say things have remained mostly the same?
There is something interesting in wanting things to remain like 20 years ago, because the sexy of 20 years ago is the conservative of 2018.
On a different topic, add me to the group who liked Xiba's art, was disappointed in his treatment in the game (poor model, absent from the scenario), and still like him better than boring Kilik and Siegfried. I wish the game was a follow-up to 5 and gave the poor boy a proper development.
See, this is the logical conclusion to come to, but then again Namco doesn't use logic, so who the hell really knows LOL.
If they do put in Amy over Setsuka that would be really disappointing for me. Amy kinda sucks.
Artwork, I'm assuming?HYPE!
Hopefully as high res as possible.
I wonder if they'll include music as well.
I wouldn't be surprised if they sold the music for each game as separate DLC packs... again.
Intro cinematics would be pretty sweet too. It might bloat the file size a bit, but it won't be as bad as T7, since SoulCalibur has never used CG for its endings and so those wouldn't be included.
Mostly I just want an easily recordable/screen-shottable SCIII intro that isn't compressed to hell.

Okay. This has been one of my top game franchises since SC1 on the Dreamcast, but it's weird how little I've followed SCVI. I also think it's a sign of the state of the series (or maybe just other AAA games) when I haven't seen that much hype for this game outside basically the FGC. SC used to be a top-billed series, to the point where even casual console gamers got into it. I think what happened was a combination of SCV and other AAA games just getting that much bigger.
Anyway, what's happening here feature-wise? I haven't put my money down yet but the lack of a proper arcade mode would be disappointing. To be honest I'm mostly interested in the story modes. All three of my mains are in: Mitsurugi, Kilik, and Xianghua, but I'm jumping back on Hwang immediately. One of the reasons I got into SC back in the day is because of how much content was packed in each game. SC1 felt insane at the time, fighting games had nowhere near that much stuff to do. I really miss the character profile mode where you could read their stories while viewing their models in 3D and going through all their voice samples. I think III was the last game to do that. I'm not expecting that to come back in VI but it would be dope. For that and other reasons characters and story were always a main draw of SC. That being said though, I got WAY into SCIV's "story" mode ("Tower of Souls" was it?) even though it was just like 60 consecutive fights with minimum context. Man, to think SCVI was one of the games that jump-started the current fighting game renaissance 10 years ago. Is it safe to say that renaissance has ended? How would you even split up "eras" of fighting games?

I personally think it's Tira, Hilde, Female guest, Viola.
Anybody thinking a fighter will have more than a 50% female roster in a season pass is kidding themselves.
It'd be shameful if For Honor gets a character who wields a warhammer before Soul Calibur.Get this guy in
I also enjoyed the Tower of Souls :) it gets hated on these days!
We don't know 100% on everything yet, but the SP content is split up like so:
- An apparently barely-there Arcade mode vs 8 random opponents
- Story mode, including individual (but short) character stories, not sure of the full length but people were mentioning it'll take 30 minutes per character alone
- Libra of Souls, a mode for your created character which sounds a lot like the old weapon master mode. It has multiple fights with set restrictions like the old days, plus leveling up (??)
I think that's it, maybe somebody can jump in and elaborate on some of this.
There are more fighters being released of higher quality than we've seen in two decades.
This, to me, looks like it will be the best playing game in the franchise.
The "renaissance" continues, whatever people mean by that when...it's been going strong for a decade.
Gotta say...Pat would be super dope in this game with all the shit-talking characters do now.
I mean, he's awesome anyway, but the anime fighting game chatter would put him over the top.

I live in sin daily.
He's far down the list, but Patroklos is the only "SC Kidz!" character I'd like to see return one day. ZWEI takes top priority for SCV characters, but he can come too.
Actually, this is a very solid compromise. The Baby Rattle weapon is something that very few games have utilized, let alone fighting games.
Honestly, I would not be surprised if they gave the sword & board babbies' unique moves to Cassandra so she can be distinct from Sophitia
He had the only S&S moveset I've enjoyed (aside from Lizardboi's axe & shield). I'd like to see it return sometime.
Considering what most fanbases consider the commandments, I really couldn't care less the general opinion. People in here asking for Amy, afterall.
I love Sophie, but I think Pat's moveset is way better.
Nothing wrong with his personality. He's dope, his opponents aren't.
People just don't like knowing they're trash.
tis true but on the season pass pic, it's a silhouette of two males and one female.
