Soul Calibur 6: THE SOUL STILL BURNS!

[Juggs]

I apologise to the people I said about Nightmares super not being unblockable. I didn't know lol. That shit is cheap as fuck.

It’s definitely blockable, unless he has another super. It just has armor. I blocked it in the clip I posted a few posts ago.

Anyway, I’m beyond excited for the full game. 100% maining Groh. I’ve seen some high ranked Groh’s do shit I didn’t even know he could do. But also looking at a few more characters. Like Seong Mi-Na, Astaroth, Zasalamel, and Yoshi. But I gotta try everyone out. Cannot wait!

praying I have the execution to play ivy in this game. but she is so fun. the range the keep out. the little mix here and there. that one Input on that grab tho. how the freak does one do that on pad.

I feel like Supers and RE's happen too frequently and distracts from actual gameplay. What do you all think? Btw, I have a lot of leveling up to do. I've mostly played SC1 and SC3

Supers for sure happen often. Doesn't help that they're long and have a small cutscene if you kill an opponent with it. Wish they were short like in SCV. RE's dont happen to frequently for me since i bait them most times.

Nightmare definitely has a unblockable super, but he has to hold it all the way.

Interesting, I didn’t know that. I wonder if any other characters can do that? Or if there’s characters with different versions of supers.

Also, what’s the deal with super damage being inconsistent? Sometimes it does 30%, sometimes it does 50%. Is that a counterhit or something?

The withdrawal begins. It’s crazy. I went into the network test beta not expecting much. I had so much fun that I immediately pre-ordered the $90 version with the season pass as soon as the network test servers went offline. Definitely wasn’t expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. Considering the only Soul Calibur experience I have is playing it super casually when I was younger and never really playing ANY 3D fighters competitively.

Really looking forward to breaking down Groh, and learning Seong Mi-Na. Might end up trying the entire cast, who knows.

And now we wait 19 days.
It’s gonna be a long October.

In my status theres a link to Bandai Namco's feedback form on your thoughts on the beta. I REALLY encourage you guys to fill it out. It only takes 2 mins.

Does anyone know in the full release if we'll be able to turn off the 90 minute replays of every round ending?
ugh that was brutal, gonna make it less fun to spectate tournaments as well

Game seemed pretty fun, not a fan of the RE or Supers though, they seem very incongruous with Soul Calibur as I know it. Plus most of the supers are pretty ridiculous on startup and I had trouble punishing them, though hopefully lab time can solve that.

the 90 minute replays

Just press a button to skip it.

Dont get triggered off the little things. This game has been doing that since the beginning of time. Be triggered about NIGHTMARE's OP ass!

You both have to? I pressed all the buttons all the time haha, straight up mashed them thangs

I'm not frothing at the mouth it was just not as fluid of an experience, I'd say leave it on just the winning round or only when both players have 15% or less left.

You can press start and it will skip it. Only one player has to do it. That’s how it was on XB1 at least.

I had much more difficulty vs Siegfried than Nightmare, it coulda just been a bad MU for your character. Don’t get me wrong Nightmare is very good, but he just seemed like a strong character, not “broken”.

PS4 as well - pressing start skips that nonsense. The other buttons did not

I played ALL characters in the beta and TRUST when I say

NIGHTMARE.IS.FUCKING.OP

Aint no way to justify how over powered his whole moveset is above the rest, its stupid. Even using Nightmare i did not have fun mauling ppl with 2-3 moves and they're dead. He needs to be toned da fuck down or people will riot like Smashers do with Bayonetta. Yup its already happening.

I think making that claim with any character based on a network beta is not justifiable. I understand just joking saying someone’s OP or saying it out of rage or something. But c’mon dude, it was a network test, lol. Most people didn’t even know their main characters entire moveset, let alone what the best punishes are in specific matchups, and all the intricacies of the game or matchups in general.

 

[Ragnarök Tyr]

Nightmare is actually relatively tame and not too difficult to deal with compared to a few other characters. But I've also been playing against him since the last game and know how his movements typically work.

Hmmmm....*thinks*....

He has a 0-frame ARMORED Super, build in Parry when attacked, Crazy range, crazy damage, AND his special is Unblockable too !?Question mark?!

I mean...I know im not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary buuuuut im pretty fucking sure that not EVERYBODY has the same abilities like he does. Especially when MY super gets stuffed by button mashing, while his gets priority upon immediate button press. Yeah....fuck that man.

 

[JBeezYBabY]

Of course Uncle JBeezY will learn to adapt as the game comes out BUT if im paying for a game, ya damn right im gonna address the elephant in the room and thats Nightmare. Besides the online bars being very inaccurate, and lag issues, Nightmare was my biggest gripe of this beta. I said what I said

Well looks like I finally figured out what my senior quote is gonna be

Like I said, you can make any claim you want, you just can’t really justify it based on a network test beta. He could definitely turn out to be top tier, but we won’t know that for awhile. To me, he just seems easier to use. Which means in a network test beta where there’s no training mode, he’s gonna seem perhaps better than he actually is. Point is we can’t know for certain yet.

 

[VSC_Supreme]

As someone who casually played Soul Calibur 2 and 4 I didn't expect to go in enjoying the test as much as I did. Ended up not using any of my previous "mains" or characters I thought I wanted to play. Although I didn't really start having fun until I started winning, and I didn't start winning until i picked Siegfried.

I will say that it definitely felt like there was a gap in skill for players who seemed like Vets and other just testing the game out. I would get mopped by anyone who knew what they were doing.

Nightmare, Zas and Ivy have GI properties on their CE's thats what helps make them good defensively in that regard.

Nightmare has to stand there for a while before it becomes unblockable and as long as you're not wildly swinging at him you're free to step around it and get a back turn punish. Or wait for it to whiff entirely then punish.

His range has always been there that's really nothing new. His transitions can be stepped, ducked, GI'ed or punished on block depending on what he does.

Even 6 A+B during Terror Charge which is plus on block with good push back is super whiff punishable.

He does have an armor explosion but thats an old move nothing new there.
