This is true. I rarely touch the actual character in SC6VI. Which is a shame because the female characters are better looking than anything you can make in CAS. But it is judt too fun for me to make characters that have my own head cannon.

It's the opposite for me. I barely made any original characters and just use the customization feature to make new outfits for Cassandra, Sophitia and Mi-na. I mostly remake their outfits from earlier games or make them cosplay other characters. Generic voice lines kill any allure of CaS for me.

I'd legitmately still play the game if 6 didn't cock the franchise up with their modern bullshit comeback RPS mechanic.

>>743289821
Some moves (the ones with low amount of recovery frames after whiff) allow for a guaranteed sidestep after hitting RE armor, so you can keep stepping until they're forced to release B+G and punish them for a decent chunk of their health.

It's not. Nothing in the game tells you if an attack is light, medium, or heavy, even though it matters for how easy it is to GI and how much frame advantage you get from GIing. Nothing in the game tells you if an attack is RE-safe or not and you can't even check against a bot in training mode because you can't make the AI hold it for the exact right amount of time to counter a specific attack or string. And if you do get hit by it, there's too many options. How many players have this chart memorized? I can tell you that it's not too many because even high-rank players rarely use anything else than A, B, or K. That's how you know the game is overdesigned, there are sections of mechanics that most of the player base just completely ignores And then there are lethal hits, which have specific conditions to trigger and different combo routes than normal hits.

Universal mechanics are already complicated as it is, but many characters (especially DLC ones) have additional gimmicks on top of it. Overall, I don't see how people can say that SC6 is just as approachable as the previous entries.

I think they need to lean MUCH harder into the rpg mode in the next game. By all means add the main cast in, but the custom character modes are fucking awesome. Plus it makes it a far more unique fighting game then all the other slop on the market, especially for folk who enjoy single player.

Not him but probably nobody because Reversal Edge is an abysmal mechanic that is not worth the time.

I would quite like that.
>>
>>743258067
which one should i be playing? im out of the loop but remember playing some soulcalibur game on the ps2 or ps3 as a kid and had a lot of fun. im on pc now btw
>>
>>743297985
You either played II, III or IV.
The only proper option on pc is VI but you can emulate every other game in the series. Not tried V but I imagine the emulation is fine for it. I would recommend just emulating them all up to IV if you have the space. You could try V as well but most people do not have much good to say about that one, myself included.
>>
>>743298132
i play on steam exclusively, dont really wanna mess around with emulation. whats wrong with 6? also i just found out that the last game was released in 2018. is the series dead or something?
>>
>>743290160
But I dont want to have to play around that stupid mechanic. It added nothing good.
>>
>>743298875
Could be, the time between Tekken 7 and 8 was 9 years. Don't you know how long these fucking dev cycles are now?
>>
>>743298875
It is piss easy but if you are not up for it then so be it.
VI has metre, super moves associated with it and Reversal Edge. I think I am in the minority for disliking the metre but I do not want them in 3D fighters.
Reversal Edge is a noob trap and turns the game into rock, paper, scissors for a couple of seconds. It just sucks the fun out of a match for me. Overall VI is fine but I prefer the first five games. V and VI are just not as fun. This is why I suggest emulating them, so you can form your own opinions. You might end up liking V the most despite it being the most unpopular one.
>is the series dead or something?
Could be but nobody expected VI either.
>>
>>743298875
>is the series dead or something?
Yes. The franchise is dead because VI didn't have a proper matchmaking system, and the people who played it didn't file a complaint about it to the developers in order to fix it, so that the game could grow a bigger and more active community.

>and the people who played it didn't file a complaint about it to the developers in order to fix it, so that the game could grow a bigger and more active community.
LMAO. Everyone complained about it to the developers and we still do. It wasn't fixed and will never be fixed because Bamco didn't have money to spare for a new online system. The one in VI was copypasted straight from V (just like character creation btw). It's honestly amazing how VI still turned out pretty decent at its core once you realize how mishandled it was. Hwang's stage can't even be rolled in ranked ffs. They just pushed out the last update and left it that way because no one tested it.

I really like how good the textures and characters look in Tekken 8 but I'm not spending 80 bucks + 200 in DLC + tip just to ogle at the female characters.

I'll just have to make due with screenshots and playing SC IV instead.
>>
>>743302673
>It wasn't fixed and will never be fixed because Bamco didn't have money to spare for a new online system.
To be fair, I don't think Bamco wants SoulCalibur to be successful, as they already have Tekken that is pulling a bigger crowd. I believe that the reason why SoulCalibur VI was made, was to throw a bone to the longtime fans of the franchise. I think this is also the reason why they didn't add a proper matchmaking system, due to the fact that the community was pretty small to begin with, which would make it harder for the veteran players to find a match once they reach high ranks.

I personally think it's stupid, as I really enjoyed SoulCalibur VI and it could've easily become my favorite fighting game if it had a proper matchmaking system. It's a real shame to be honest. If they ever decide to make a new SoulCalibur game, than I hope they'll put more effort into it along with a proper matchmaking system to try and grow the community and playerbase, instead of throwing a bone to oldschool veterans of the franchise.

I wish they would have poured as much budget into this as an NRS single player campaign

Having a fighting game with a full story mode for all characters plus a side Fire Emblem like battler would have been insane value

>tfw fantasy rpg nerd

companies like bamco, capcom, nintendo (but not square enix) shapes entire generations' sexual interests on a whim and they get away with it. they've been doing it harder than any other entertainment media for half a century. they hold a lot of power.
If you see a girl flaunting her nipples in a game, you know who to blame.

>>743305852
this, stopped playing ranked when I had to learn my opponents character as well as I did my mains just to know to roll the correct way to avoid bigger combos, and each character has different body sizes so some could only roll one way, others it was a distance thing. astaroth and zas got caught my most things because of their size.
>>
>>743303614
I'm not spending money on Tekken because it's Tekken and not SoulCalibur.
