Can't wait for the new costume pieces! I've been looking forward to update my current designs. There's only so much you can do with what we have now until they start to all look alike. :p

Just Italy dude, not Mars! And no offense but I'd rather watch YT if I have to look past streams, maybe one day you'll have free time in the morning? I mean I do receive twitch notifications, so maybe.

Shes got swag but still a very dissapointing pick for DLC...It seems the leak is becoming true and Cassandra might be the last DLC character.
I like her. I'm more of a Setsuka fan, but I do like Raphael and she's basically a rushdown Raphael.

Toys can't save you!
The game is doing well, Cass may not be the last DLC if the leaks are anything to go by.

I'm into her. I thought Raph was a stupid character, but I spent a couple of weeks playing him so I would stop getting bodied. I had more fun playing him than expected.

Amy looks way more like me style wise. Although, you take off Raph's mask, cape, leg things, and give him a buzz cut he looks pretty cool IMO.

I'm starting to wish I just bought the pass, cus I've like all the characters they put out.

I’m pretty hype for Amy, I liked her in 4 a lot, she looks pretty similar to her SC4 incarnation. I hope her 2B+K isn’t so dumb though if she has it again

Week one of Sophitia.

Props to the guy who changed his Steam name to #CoreValues and a tip of the hat to someone named enishicz and his sweet MrPeanut 2B design.

Apparently, people were assuming that Amy comes out the next patch with CaS and nope! We only get the CaS parts and Amy later. Apparently, people WANT to believe that but don't know how to read where it clearly states in the video "soon".

Also...Kayane (who is a phenomenal SC6 player and is cool with Okubo) was at the SC6 panel and basically EVERYTHING was asked answered about how they will fix online, issues with balance, etc.

If you care to read it all, she posted her notes here https://t.co/UFE4g38b4l

The most important thing that stood out is, "They will change the matching system based on player rankings in next patch. They will change step by step."

Which means....we get the patch tomorrow (probably today) with the new CaS pieces sooo.....YES YES YES YES YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!!!

EDIT! IT ALREADY DROPPED! Here are the online changes!

The patch that just dropped came with a bunch of system changes and improvements (no character/balances adjustments, though). The Japanese site, https://sc6.soularchive.jp/sp/update/history.php, lists all the changes, but seems there's nothing in English yet (again), so I'll summarise key parts while we wait for something official.

NETWORK

Matchmaking will first search for opponent's close in rank, then fan out in rank difference until a suitable opponent is found. (Only applies to PS4 and Steam). G1 and below ranks now get more RP for defeating higher ranked opponents.

An issue with C5-B1 ranks getting more RP than intended in certain matches was fixed.

The expert bonus (win streak bonus) now applies up to E1 (formerly up to G1). The multiplier also goes up faster for long streaks. The point here is to help players reach their 'real' rank at a faster pace.

In the search settings, for language and region, the text has changed from 'all' to '[need to confirm what it says in English now]'. No function change for now, just the text.

DLC

8 CaS parts were added (free, separate from the DLC, which unlocks Tuesday (JST)).

Functions

You can now select weapons for the regular characters from the character select screen.

On the stage select screen, the stage now appears at the middle of the screen.

Game adjustments

At the character select screen, the game now remembers your last selected CaS/custom.

The game will now hold on to your recordings when you return from a ranked match (of course presuming you have standby matching ON).

In training, you can now record using R3 and stop playback with L3.

Creation

Various issues fixed, including the appearance of cleavage when using 'parlour clothes' and 'sexy leotards' together, and an issue with the skintone on Xianghua's head when her hair is changed.

Libra of Soul

Exchange rate for G/SP is now 1000G -> 100SP (was 5000G)

Price of 'explore' expeditions is reduced.

Certain missions now give more gold as a reward.

Some 'boss' enemies and the astral fissure opponents have had their strength reduced.

An issue with male Lost Soul characters and their hair was fixed.

FUTURE UPDATES

(These are NOT IN THIS UPDATE, but are scheduled for inclusion in a future update)

Network

To improve the online experience (match quality and fighting near ranks), the following changes will be made: 1) the language and region search settings will be removed. 2.) 4 bars will be the default for connection quality.

In ranked, to allow players to play more against opponents they enjoy fighting with, the rematch limit will be removed (literally says 連戦条件を無制限にする).

A bug in casual matches whereby certain players couldn't proceed with matches will be fixed (I'm not clear on the issue here).

A function to mass-delete unplayable replays from previous versions of the game will be added.

I don’t personally believe RE is THAT bad, but I wouldn’t mind if it were removed, GI is enough of a defensive mechanic really.

I love the update but I feel the online has gotten worst with the update. The lag has definitely gotten worst and I hardly feel a difference in matchmaking being better because I still get paired with people that are a way higher level than me. Also, tune up RE! That mechanic is god awful and the worst in the game. I'd rather you get rid of it completely but if you balance it, it would be more tolerable. Make RE cost meter to use. And if it successfully hits and wins the rock, paper, scissors war, it gains more meter. Also, please have a better selection of DLC characters. Amy? Really? Having the people that were originally in Soul Calibur like Hwang/Yun Seung, Rock, and Setsuka would have been better choices. That's all for now. Regardless, the game is still fun to play and appreciate you always reaching out to the community for feedback which alot of companies don't do. Much respect for that. Thank you kindly! Stay Righteous ;)

Just did my part ;)

Before reading I was like "let's see if he wrote 'Righteous' at some point". You sure are dependable Beezy! :)
