So a friend recently noticed during his matches that sometimes a constelation would appear out of nowhere, like the one in this picture:
Is that the result of some attack or is just some weapon effect?
Well, it would have been nicer if 80% of the finals wasn't muscle busters.
Not to mention the fact that the tournament was pre-patch by necessity of it dropping less than two full days before the tournament.Well, it would have been nicer if 80% of the finals wasn't muscle busters.
It was sad to see Voldo combos I didn't know about that were already made obsolete earlier in the week.Not to mention the fact that the tournament was pre-patch by necessity of it dropping less than two full days before the tournament.
Frosty faustings was pretty good. Lots of online warriors showing up big time. Azwel taking it was nice, as was talim's first top 8 appearance.

Wind_charmer.
No one has found anything of note in the files.Just started up SC6 and it downloaded a new patch (1.12). Hadn't heard anything about it, any idea what it changed?
All we have is the datamining saying it's Cassandra and Amy. Still waiting on official reveals, and Bamco are taking their sweet time with that.Were the last two season 1 DLC characters ever officially announced?
the game had like 2-3000 players on Steam, the day the first "balance patch" came out that dropped to ~700 and now it's only ~350...
Point is the first patch already saw a huge dip, and the patching was completely unnecessary outside of fixing the Voldo glitch even when a small group of people who can't be bothered to learn match-ups disagrees. It was much much too early for any kind of "balance patches" too.
He might want to question their work with the amount of silence we're getting between character releases then.

Apparently Bamco considers the game a success. Guess that explains season 2. I'm looking forward to continued support.
It came directly from Namco Japan. Okubo retweeted a Japanese article that said the same thing.The PDFs don't actually mention SC6, so I'm curious to know if that information is coming directly from Namco Japan, or if that's just Twinfinite making assumptions based on the quarterly profits.
Cool, thanks. Here's the article: https://gamebiz.jp/?p=231026It came directly from Namco Japan. Okubo retweeted a Japanese article that said the same thing.
Nice. Okubo did ithttps://twinfinite.net/2019/02/soulcalibur-6-successful-launch/

Folks who think the patches are bad are wilding out. Yeah, there's been some silly stuff (Talim's super cancel comes to mind here), but no character has been wrecked the way they were in IV and V (no, Raph wasn't wrecked). This is the most balanced home SC game ever (3AE might have been more balanced- unsure though).
Talim, Tira and Astaroth went from trash to viable characters via patching (Talim got love on the first patch, Tira and Asta on the last one), and Azwel and Raph got fair nerfing.
Huge dips in the playerbase for a fighting game is normal. Many folks only care about the single-player and by time of the first patch they're done, and then fighting games slowly lose players due to frustration. SC6 did a really good job with avoiding frustration in its ranking system, at least until you get to D/C level.

It's way too early to call SC6 the most balanced home SC ever. The new patch has been out for three weeks, we have no idea how balanced it'll end up being. Just like we have no idea how balanced 1.10 was. That's my biggest problem with this - not any specific adjustment, it's the fact they're not even letting one set of adjustments stabilize before firing off the next one.
Regarding the patch, some top azwel players seem to be coming around on the 1.11 changes.
Oofmatic tweeted at okubo last week that he finally understands how the new azwel is supposed to be played and apparently thinks it's cool.
Then mihara, arguably the best japanese azwel, tweeted that he liked the changes so much he wanted to give the devs a bj lol

He said that while it feels like Azwel had been swapped out for a 'season 2 or SC7' version of the character, key aspects of his playstyle were buffed, so he was happy with the changes overall.
I don't think either of them has really gone into detail though. Anyone on the azwel discord know?
I've said it back when the game was still new, but Azwel gave me a really hard time at first. But then I practiced against him in training mode and learned to aGI most of the stuff people abuse and he became a million times more manageable. Sure I never fought a C rank Azwel but nothing ever screamed "broken" to me. Not even close. He's just a new character.
Oof was pretty darn good but I don't think he was at frosty faustings so I haven't seen him play for a while. I asked him to explain more on twitter but no response. Maybe he wants to surprise people at evo Japan :VI'd love to hear what the top Japanese player and Oofmatic think about Azwel in detail. Just saying he's good or they love how he plays tells me nothing. I've only seen Oof play at an early tournament and I wasn't impressed. I'm sure he's much better now, but I haven't seen him him action at all. Without details on why he's good, their statements are meaningless.
