SoulCalibur VI (PS4, XB1, Steam) 2018

I haven't played video games in awhile, where can you play SC 2-4 online with a decent competition size and what is the best arcade stick to use?

Soul Calibur 3 wasn't online and never was remade
Soul Calibur 1, and 2 remakes, and SC4 and 5 are available on Xbox 360/PS3

people might have went back to SC5 now that 6 was announced but I didn't check. the other games are probably dead online. best arcade stick out right now is the Razer Panthera

This is interesting it turns out that SC6 will be a reboot, the story will go back 1586 just 2 years after the Soul Edge/Blade story. No wonder Mitsurig looks younger and his theme that was playing during the trailer had SC1 and Soul Edge vibe.

Soul Calibur 6 interview with Motohiro Okubo, Michinori Ozawa & Yoshiyuki Takahashi:

• Soul Calibur 6 came together because it was the 20th anniversary of the series without a 3D Weapons based fighting game on the current generation of consoles.
• The keyword for Soul Calibur 6 is "Reboot." The game will feature a Story Mode.
• The story for the game is going back to its more older roots to re-establish the world for both old and new players.
• Soul Calibur 6's story goes back to the year 1586 to unveil all the mysteries from the original Soul Calibur.
• There will be brand new characters making an appearance in the game. They will also play a big role during the Soul Calibur 6 story.
• Right now Mitsurugi and Sophitia have been revealed to be in the game but other character reveals are coming.
• "Please look forward to the Guest Character!"
• The base fundamental system of the game like the horizontal attacks, vertical attacks & 8 way run have not changed.
• They're tuning the game's speed and ease of use to be comfortable for players.
• The biggest change made to the battle system is the "Reversal Edge" mechanic which will allow you to block almost every incoming high, mid & low attack with the use of a single button input.
• If you let go of the button during the Reversal Edge sequence, your character will do a specific retaliation like attack.
• The "Reversal Edge" will help newer players be able to dive in to the deeper mind games and strategy aspects during a battle even against advanced players.
• They're focusing on how to make players feel the joy in the weapons based combat gameplay more with the simple single button use. It's a notable point and they're still deliberating on how they want it to show in game.
• Critical Edges make a return in Soul Calibur 6. The input to perform these super moves were difficult in Soul Calibur 5 so there will be a single button activation to use them in Soul Calibur 6.
• There's "Critical Edge" as well as "Soul Charge" in Soul Calibur 6. Soul Charge will allow you to power up your attacks at the expense of the meter gauge. There are also moves that can only be done from Soul Charge.
• For the advanced players, there is the "Lethal Hit" mechanic which are certain moves that under the right circumstances trigger a slow motion effect and send the opponent flying leading into strong combos. Lethal Hits can even break the opponent's armor off if you manage to land with them.
• Some of the details you'll see when you break the opponent's armor off are Mitsurugi's lower body showing the loincloth and Sophitia's hair style changing after you break her hair ornament.
• Guard Impacts can be used in Soul Calibur 6 without consuming any meter gauge.
• They want to prepare a "Tutorial Mode" for the game.
• The Character Creation feature is something appealing that they can't take away from Soul Calibur series. They can't say much about it right now but please look out for it.
• The Famitsu editor was surprised to find out how much external developer help the game was receiving.
• Soul Calibur 6's development is currently at 70%.

stop with this make it easily playable for everyone. If you wanna play a fighting game LEARN the mechanics, LEARN how to do the special moves.

I think current players struggle with learning the mechanics and learning special moves.

 

[EA]

My body is ready. Hopefully Leixia is back with more Wu-Shu wizardry

Glad this feature is being put back in I love the character creation feature in soul calibur.

I can continue to create my ninja squadron of bad anime bytches.

 

[Fatboi1]

Soul Calibur>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tekken

 

[LoStranger]

Just found out run counters from SC5 are back in........perfect just perfect.....

 

[nairdas]

I'm cool with a reboot. If Sophitia and Taki return to form then it's over for you nikkas.

 

[Vintage Eclectic]

My nikka Mitsurugi is already looking like a beast. Just waiting on that Kilik confirmation

Speaking of which based on where they are going wth the story, there's a lot they can do with the story mode. I wonder if we'll get cinematics for Kilik killing everyone in the temple or Maxi and his crew getting attacked by Astaroth.

There was a lot they presented in terms of story over the years, some of which hasn't been fully fleshed out (usually concerning the lineage or certain side characters only mentioned in story).

 

[Vintage Eclectic]

If we do get guest characters I hope we get

Or

 

[$$$HotBoyRonald$$$]

Haven’t messed with the series in awhile but this still one of the GOAT video game intros

 

[Amor fati]

Some new character, Nightmare, Xiangfua, Kilik and Soul Edge Possed Kilik(This indicates that this was a year before Soul Calibur 1 as it's mentioned that Kilik got possed pre SC1)

 

[Amor fati]

The Jap version. It's crazy how still to this day the legendary Nobuyuki Hiyama is still Nightmare's voice actor
