Is something wrong with my eyes or is her model clearly a step above what we've seen?

She just looks amazing in general. This is the best foot forward I've seen from this game.

I know they probably won't do it but I'd like it if they brought back some of the custom weapons for the CaC in 3.

I really liked how you could ring someone out in 2 moves with the lance.

THE QUEEN RETURNS

I actually had a dream about playing scvi last night and being disappointed in her costume. Fortunately this one is better than what my mind came up with :V

I'm interested in that back step GI thing she did after wind sault B.

I hope we get one more build before release where she's playable.

Also why does she shout EMBRACE MY JAMS

Dude that over the back grab was mad hype looking. I'm actually interested in a Soul Calibur game for the first time in a while.

I should check up on the marketing and see if they talked about modes and such yet.

What an absolutely terrible design.

This was her in Soul Calibur II -

Cool, confident, barely sexualized (aside from her pants hanging so low that they expose a bit of her butt for no real reason), and is that some muscle definition I see there?

This was her in Soul Calibur III -

Long pants, a nice small vest, nothing much objectionable or extremely sexualized.

Then it starts going off the rails in Soul Calibur IV -

Pants got shorter and see-through, panties pulled up slightly above the pants, back to just a bra but it's smaller this time.

And now we have this in Soul Calibur VI -

Wat happened to her pants? Why are they even shorter now and what's with those bizarre cut-outs in the sides to reveal more skin? How do these even stay on? Why are her panties pulled up so far and why are they so tight that they dig into her skin? Why is her bra just two straps of fabric seemingly designed to reveal under-boob? What's with that dumb 'confused child' look on her face? Also, what happened to her skin color across these four games?

Just terrible.

This character is 15 btw.

Yep, yikes.

I'm glad Talim is back but I really dislike SCIV and VI's art direction. Even though a lot of people are salty about V, I appreciated that they stepped back from the DOA ledge in that one quite a bit.

Whereas this one's back in form for modern Soul Calibur. I have no confidence in this game doing Hilde (especially a younger one if they aged her down) justice, it's frankly a goddamn miracle her outfits were that great before compared to her fellow female fighters in the series.

If she's 15 in Soul Calibur II, wouldn't that mean she's supposed to be -11- in this?

People actually think this costume is overtly-sexualized???


WOW

*edit*

Okay, I didn't notice the slits in the shorts and the :0 face is pretty funny

if they didn't care about the franchise (at all) there wouldn't be a soulcalibur 6.

Harada has mentioned in interviews that no one wanted to take up the mantle for a new Soulcalibur after Odashima left Namco post-SCV. He had to practically beg the current producer to put a team together to make a SCVI, simply because Harada didn't like the idea of SC as a series dying completely.

So Harada cares about SC, that much we know for sure. But this is a mercenary team doing a hit job on the franchise atm

now it's a console franchise but I just wonder why it stopped in the arcades. Tekken is a console franchise too but it just starts off in the arcades for a year.

Tekken is not a console franchise at all, there are many arcade costumes that never came on consoles. And the arcade version took almost 4 years to come to consoles. And the only thing they did was a story mode and practice mode for it.

And my point was that it's a console series, not an arcade series. You're pointing at a game that's 18 years old. lol

Tekken is an arcade series first. They port to console as a bonus.

TALIM IS BACK GUYS AGHHHHHHH MY MAIN IS BACK!!!!!! I JUST GOT UP AND NO SHAME WITH THESE CAPS. I AM TOO DAMN EXCITED. Vergeben did not disappoint me!!!! The outfit reminds me of SC IV and I like it a lot more. What's her age here though I wonder.

Sorry, too excited avatar and all. I hope her other outfits are available. SC II is still GOAT outfit.

Tekken is most definitely an arcade first game. We got Tekken 7 two years after the arcade release.

just because the game comes out in arcades first doesn't mean it's not a console game. it comes out on consoles too. what the fuck does it even mean to say that it's not a console game?

Tekken would continue to exist without consoles.

SoulCalibur wouldn't.

there's no way to know that since there never has been a major installment that doesn't also come out on playstation and other consoles. that always happens and it's always a more complete video game experience

Tekken is still the most played fighting game in Korea, only using Arcades, meanwhile, nobody knows/plays SC except for consoles versions.

Ok so I was googling her new design since YouTube doesn't work right at my office
I must have gotten some of the designs confused but yeah the one for 6 is bad mostly because of those slits
They were this close to putting her in a string bikini

Japanese dev's must code with one hand down their pants
