SoulCalibur VI |OT| A Tale Eternally Retold
- Thread starter SolVanderlyn
- Start date
I never hated him. The Darth Maul + dual-wielder deal already had my interest, I was completely sold once the chuunibyou stuff factored in with him.
If only ZWEI had the same adorkable personality.
Like, have him say random Jojo quotes even if they don't fit the situation or something, he's halfway there anyway.

It is for the best that they avoid anything major from Soul Calibur V returning. As soon as I saw ZWEI I said "Yeah, I am done with this series" out loud. Too much from that game is way too stupid to go back to. I am somewhat open to them revisiting Patroklos' moveset in a different character (that stance has got to go though), but I just rather them bring back stuff from when most people loved the franchise. I would totally love to see Heihachi returning even! Necrid can stay gone though.
Going back to season 2; This seriously an impressive upgrade. I never expected so many of these new moves and mechanics to work out as good as they are so far. Though I think they might've gone a step too far with 2B. I think her damage needs to be nerfed a bit.

I never played SC4 and 5 so I had no idea how Hilde played. This charge stuff is hella bizzare lol.
Need to spend lot of time in practice before hitting ranked.

Have not picked her up yet but they made her quite a bit easier in 6. Before she had 3 levels of charge so you were pretty much constantly charging something. In 6 aside from the 30 sec unblockable gimmick charge she only has 1 level of charge now.
They did end up bringing back taking damage after breaking a throw from SCV with S2, though.
And now two nights in a row have proven that I've completely forgotten how to fight Mitsurugi. Xianghua? Never knew how.
Considering that the game still feels like putting me up against A-rank players, I didn't do too bad to win at least two games against an A-rank Nightmare (usually, it ends up being none).

So yesterday I just played some training and stopped because I had a friend over, but it seems like they did Xianghua good, I like all the changes and additions, Silent Xia giving back meter is a great approach to have her be even more of a pressure monster :) I like her soul attack quite a lot, 3 variants for the second hit, love this.
Got the sheet with all the changes from Bamco's website this morning and read it on my way to work, and of course I didn't find everything new with Xianghua, gonna have to try that tonight.
I haven't tried any other char yet, is there a clear winner and looser of these changes? also, how is 2B now?

2B, Sieg and Maxi seem to be big winners atm. Idk about losers but Mi-na is less dumb to use now
Wow, they made 2B and Sieg even stronger ? Maybe everyone is more balanced now.
losers seem to be Asta, Talim, and Kilik from what I've seen. They didn't lose that bad, just their bad matchups got more.
Zas is a big winner too.
Right about now, I'm considering whether the difficulties I've been having against Mitsurugi with Talim as of S2 are the result of him getting more. More damage for him would've been one thing, making him faster/giving him more stun has just screwed everything up and made it that much harder to get in.

Poor Talim, I already considered her less efficient than her previous iteration :(
Astaroth should be nerfed to oblivion, removed from the game, then replaced by the superior Rock.
I like that you would still nerf him before removing him from the game ^^
Yeah I too suffered my lot of hard to accept Asta matches(defeats) online. It's particulary unnerving as a Xianghua player^^
I like Rock better, but if he was in this game he would be as overpowered as Asta anyway
I'll be back online shortly, just have to practice the new stuff a bit more :)
She's unquestionably still much better than she was in IV, with VI being the only other game she's actually been viable in at all since her debut in II. That said, she still doesn't have enough of what she needs just yet (hell, Siegfried's Chief Hold bullshit is still a better command side step than her Wind Charmer).
EDIT: Seriously though, the speed on Chief Hold and Wind Charmer really should have been swapped by now, and it couldn't be more unreasonable to give a character such short range yet still have her buttons be slow enough to constantly be stuffed by someone with better reach AND speed like S2 Mitsurugi, Project Soul.

Talim should be super fast, thats too bad.
Messed around a bit more with the new Xianghua stances stuff, it's really good! Gonna have a lot of fun trying to apply all of this online
I think it's not a better matchup. Mitsu's CE nerf didn't hurt him much vs Talim, because Talim's buffs tended to put her -16 moves to -14, which is Mitsu's new CE speed. Matchup wasn't too bad in S1 though IMO, and S2 I don't think it changed much, though I haven't run into any strong Mitsus yet. Talim's main buff is her BT game is now really damn good. The problem Talim has is that the top tier just has busted stuff, and none of Talim's stuff is just busted- she's too honest. She's viable because her stuff is good, she just isn't dumb enough to be good in SCVI S2.
I hope when they fix the balance they nerf the top tiers more than buff the bottom tiers. I think the power level of the top tiers is a bit too high. Usually I don't say that, but I worry about power creep.
Oh, and SC 2BAB is the most useless new move in the game. Doesn't even connect on NH.
Yet another game where I end up favoring a character who's too honest... :/
Not too surprised SC 2BAB is no good, just as well that I never used it in a match because I forgot how to do it.
I still have Cass, but I honestly have no idea how she actually compared to everyone else, especially when I saw her even less in tourney play during S1 as it is. Playing Groh is fun, but I'm not under the impression that he's especially good. I like Amy as well, but I was terrible with her before, and question how much patience I'll have for getting her roses (even with new options for it).
I just got a steam key for this in the humble monthly. I already own the game so does anyone want a free pc copy?
Haha just general tips, I've just started playing.
Is guard break attack the same button combinations for all characters ? I'm mainly playing zasamela?
