Next will be Astaroth I guess.
Lizardman is a monster, just like Astaroth. Stuff like them fit the fantastical setting of Soul Calibur like a glove. And again I am not too sure how Ivy is all that removed from Voldo's look.Please. His design is closer to that of Ivy than of Necrid. You can't argue that Ivy looks like she fits in with the 16th century aesthetics and then say that ZWEI somehow doesn't. He looks far more normal than Lizardman too, for that matter.
It's German for "two". Also clearly not his real name.
When Soul Calibur V launched me and a group of like 5 other people that played it locally together all initially assumed Z.W.E.I. was like one of the bonus characters made by guest artists from Soul Calibur IV, so I would say, yeah he is too weird.In a game with Lizardman, Algol, Voldo, Astaroth, Yoshi...Zwei is too weird?
I do not care if he has a bare chest or anything like that and I doubt most do. I have issue with his overly purple look, his Jojo Stand, lots of stuff. His design is just bonkers all around.He's one of the few sexualised male characters in the whole franchise and surprise, people have an issue with him (but not with the plethora of half naked women). I'm not saying that's why Virtua Sanus thinks he doesn't fit in, but it's too much of a coincidence not to address.
And again I am not too sure how Ivy is all that removed from Voldo's look.
Never liked Talim that much.
I hope to see Cassandra, Setsuka, Tira and Hilde
Spot on! Could not have said it better myself.ZWEI and GROH are pretty similar for me if we're just talking about their visual direction - I'm not going to say they ruin the 'purity' of the franchise or anything with the Necrids and crossover characters running around; but designs like that which are centred less around historical fantasy archetypes and which feel like more interchangeable JRPG heroes that could appear in any setting appeal much less to me, and feel like they miss what can make the series interesting and set it apart.
I feel it's a bit like comparing Kojima Castlevania designs to Aeon from Judgment.

I personally stopped at "Tira's weapon sort of felt grounded to me". That's when rational talking points left the room, locked the door behind them, and set the building on fire.
Never stopped them from including both before once she debuted (particularly when there's enough of a difference in how they play).I dont think Cassandra will be in the game cause we have Sophitia but Tira is 100% in.
The most iconic method of throwing a chakram is tajani, wherein the weapon is twirled on the index finger of an upraised hand and thrown with a timed flick of the wrist.
Are you new to fighting games marketing? SC VI is being pretty well spread throughout the media in comparison to basically any fighting game nowadays. And it's not like they won't show this mode one way or another. They've probably not translated yet.
I am curious as to what you find appealing about ZWEI. I did not really enjoy or play much Soul Calibur V but out of the new characters he stood out to me as the most ridiculous and goofy. I trust your opinions on these kind of things, so I am confident you can change my viewpoint here.
See, the design is directly what I hate. He felt as out of place in the series as Yoda did IMO. I barely played him so I have no idea if he had some interesting mechanics to him or anything though.
I can see what you mean by that. I guess SCV in general was super unfinished though. Shame!
Outside of his Jojo-like Stand thing I feel like Groh is covering a lot of the aesthetics they wanted with him, so I would be kind of surprised to see him return for this game. If you guys want him in that much though I'm rootin' for ya!
Rothion is Sophitia's husband and a blacksmith so it'd be a bit weird to make him a new fighter and then... have them fight?
Unless they're sparring new weapons for her and he's a CAC?
With Talim added, leaning toward a "yes" now regarding getting this. Should confirmations more or less continue to align with leaks and Cassandra is announced, then I'll be satisfied. Raphael would be nice as well in order to have a fencer if they were to add Amy but as Viola instead, but I'm not counting on it.

Well, I mean it is a real weapon, just used in a bunch of goofy (read: stupid) ways.I personally stopped at "Tira's weapon sort of felt grounded to me". That's when rational talking points left the room, locked the door behind them, and set the building on fire.
Oh yeah absolutely, I just mean from a design perspective he seems to be cut from the same cloth. Would not be shocked if it was revealed that he was designed by the same core exact group of people as Z.W.E.I.Groh plays nothing like ZWEI. Play style is more important than visual appeal when you're talking about one character replacing another.
Yes, looks like a brothel NPC.
Ignoring replacements: 2 added 3, 3 added 3, 4 added 2, 5 added 2.There is really only going to be 2+1 new characters and that will be it, eh.
You don't jump on your katana either.
Maxi on the otherhand, his clothes are from the same shop as Zwei's.
Maxi looked ridiculous in SC1. Fuckin Elvis-lookong nunchaku man with Bruce Lee yelps. Out of place characters are practically the norm.
I don't like it, but I'm not surprised by it.
Hoping some more SE/SB vets make it in. Mina, Hwang, Rock, etc.
Though I really like this one from SC3:
I'm still not convinced, particularly with how the base roster has been playing out in relation to the leaks. Also, after the whole trapping her in an alternate dimension for 17 years crap as an excuse for her omission in V (which allowed for explaining why her niece and nephew turned out so poorly thanks to writing out the only other person who would've been around to raise them), I would be that much less forgiving of yet another absence.I dont remember where I read it but it was about not wanting similar characters. So Kilik would rule out Mina and Sophitia would rule out Cassandra. Nightmare and Sieg were different enough to be both included though.

The 2 are Zwei and Viola. Are you counting guest characters or what? BD characters?SC5 added 3 new characters. Assuming you're counting Viola as an Amy replacement, we don't have confirmation they're the same character, but even if we did, they fight completely different.
It depends what's a new characters to you. For example Patroklos is a new character, so is Aeon.The 2 are Zwei and Viola. Are you counting guest characters or what? BD characters?

The would suck. I was pretty happy when I saw that Ivy wasn't covered up so I'd be pretty upset if Cervantes was. I always joke that she got her assets from him.Watch him be completely covered up when revealed, just like most other male characters in this game.
anyone know if there's booty jiggle in this game like Soul Calibur 2?
GOTY if so.anyone know if there's booty jiggle in this game like Soul Calibur 2?
Yeah this. And if it has to be a returning character, I want Voldo or Setsuka.Meh to Talim. I never particularly liked either her playstyle or design, and only ever used her to win mirror money matches against conquest scrubs. I guess it's good she's in, just because she seems popular.
Looking forward to the next reveal. It seems like now would be a good time for the other new character.
Okubo going for fun over competitive. Not sure if old? https://www.vg247.com/2018/07/06/soulcalibur-6-interview-development-feedback-post-launch/amp/
