Why is there no new soul calibur?

VF5US didn't stand a chance anyway once they said the game didn't have rollback

Japan had to learn the hard way that your fighting game is DOA if it has no rollback. That shyt came and went didn't even last two weeks

Sega fukked up big time not releasing it on PC since the Arcade Cabinet version is pretty much ran on a PC. They were just too lazy to do the rollback and cross play on it. You can even play Virtua Fighter Ultimate showdown through the Arcade emulator Teckno Parrot which is called Virtua Fighter esports.

I’m hoping they didn’t bother with the port because they are working on Virtua Fighter 6 and will realeasing it on PC then.

poor sales, characters dont have any pop culture appeal, too closely associated with tekken, fanbase is largely contrarian white guys

taki and ivy are a missed opportunity. they should be marketed more like morrigan

it's a shame, i still have my gamecube copy and even have the import SC2 arcade stick for the GC. crazy how far that series has fallen.

block buttons are lame

This one hurts, truly. SEGA ain’t shyt for letting not putting VF5US on Steam. The PC community would have gave the series a much needed revival.

fukking cowards

Sega had no excuses on not making VF5US a multiplat knowing if they want everyone to get into the series again, they gotta make it available across the board, but Sega Japan being Sega. Plus like what @O.Red mentioned, the lack of rollback did the game in.

Summed it up. Tekken, for however you feel about the gameplay, has characters people recognize. If we're being honest, for a lot of people, Yoshimitsu is the most recognizable Soul Calibur character, and they borrowed him from Tekken.

The American fgc should be proud of how they made Japan bow down when it comes to rollback because initially they laughed nikkas off like"yea we'll think about it someday maybe" then shyt got real when covid hit and all the games with trash netcode fell off into the abyss

Granblue Fantasy had a huge buzz but came out a week before the pandemic and the game died just like that because the online was so bad

Now them nikkas don't even speak about their online if it ain't rollback Arcsys announced their rollback loud as fukk for Strive on some "PLAY GUILTY GEAR STRIVE PLEASE WE HAVE ROLLBACK WE LISTENED Y'ALL WE CARE"

Got them nikkas on their best behavior

ArcSys got so shook that they added rollback into BlazBlue Central Fiction and Cross Tag Battle after bragging about not needing rollback because DBFZ and Xrd, but only Central Fiction got saved because people still hit Cross Tag Battle with the

Harada tried to warn them when he gave Sega, Capcom, SNK, Koei Tecmo/Team Ninja and ArcSys that sit down about rollback and cross play.

And now Xrd has rollback

Dbfz would've been 20x bigger with rollback. That boring ass game finds a way to stay relevant

And yea for what Harada has done with Tekken 7 all them nikkas need to shut the fukk up and soak up game. Arcsys seems to be the only one that did
