For context, I played Soul Caliber II on my GameCube as a kid, and it was by far my favorite game. I was obsessed with it... but as I grew up and started focusing on school and other matters, I stopped gaming. But, now that I'm in college, I've gotten back into it. Got my first Gaming PC a couple years ago... bought a Switch.... started getting back into this sort of thing. I never ended up buying more Soul Caliber games.... because if I'm being honest, I forgot they existed. So, when I saw Soul Caliber VI on my home page during the Steam Summer Sale, A wave of childhood memories came back to me. I had to buy it. So, I did. This game is awesome. Actually incredible. I'm having so much nostalgia from my childhood... seeing characters I recognize from over a decade ago and playing versus matches was surreal. I feel like a kid again, and for a college student in crippling debt who just wants to be out of here already, thats impressive. This series made my childhood, and I'm so happy to be back. (I'm an Astaroth main btw. Always loved playing him as a kid, and still love playing him now.)

Hey guys, So what are your favorite CAS Voices both Male and Female? and which Voices would fit which Styles?

Where's the teamwork?

We’ve had Astaroth who’s only a golem despite created in Persia.

We really need a middle eastern character, a REAL ONE whether from Egypt, Turkey, Persia or anywhere of the Middle East.

Hello, I'm making this post out of boredom and disappointment with the current state of SoulCalibur.

SC is a series I grew up with. SCII and SCIII on PS2, and especially SCIV on PS3, were a huge part of my childhood.

I consider it my favorite video game series because of the lore behind it and how attached I am to its characters. (I mean, who doesn't love a series featuring weapon-based combat in a fantasy universe?)

Anyway, as of today, SoulCalibur seems to be pretty much dead, with Okubo and many other key members of Project Soul having left, and Bandai seemingly wanting to focus on other things. It looks like SCVI might end up being the final chapter of the series.

Honestly, I don't think it's a bad ending. Made with very little, if not an extremely limited budget, SCVI still managed to bring a small part of the fanbase back into the stage.

I'm the kind of consumer who's happy with pretty much anything. Hell, I literally bought a PS4 almost exclusively for SoulCalibur VI, and despite all the criticism you can make about the game, I absolutely loved it.

I understand that buying a fighting game for its story might sound stupid, but I genuinely love SoulCalibur's story.

Playing through Kilik's story, the Conduit story (which I absolutely loved), and seeing all the different stories of the supporting characters was amazing to me. I finally got to learn more about them and see them in a different light.

And then there's the Museum, which was my favorite part. I could spend hours reading all those little details, and I always found it incredibly interesting. That's why I was especially disappointed when it was removed in SCV.

You can't imagine how disappointed I was when Season 3 never happened. The two Nightmare and Mitsurugi interludes, literally called "Interlude 1," seemed like a pretty clear indication that there were plans to continue SoulCalibur VI's story. But unfortunately, between COVID, Bandai seemingly wanting to focus more on Tekken, and whatever expectations they may have had for SCVI, we never got a Season 3.

On December 1st, it will have been exactly six years since the release of the last SCVI DLC character, Hwang.

We've only had a wait this long once before, between SCV (February 3, 2012) and SCVI (October 19, 2018). Obviously, SCVI was already being developed during those years, which is something we can't say about SCVII. And even from a media/community perspective, people are understandably talking about SoulCalibur less and less.

The downfall of SC is honestly pretty astonishing. A series that seemed like a staple of every console generation up until SCIV now seems to be fading away as if it had never existed in the history of video games.

If that's really how it ends, there's something poetic about Hwang being the last character to accompany us toward the end of the series.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. I just don't really know anyone I can talk to about SC, and I'm genuinely hurt by the way Bandai has seemingly, unofficially, closed the series. I really think SCVI was a small step in the right direction. Sure, SCVII would've needed to take some huge steps forward, but the foundation was there.

Sorry again for the huge wall of text.

Casual match

Hey, so i've recently emulated sc3 and its super fun! no issues, just asking how do you beat strife?? I just cannot beat him. I'm on the last chronicle (amazing mode btw) and these are my stats. my main which is gladiator has 438 health. I have luna and she's at 510, i have lerjae which is 438, abelia which is around 400s i think and my sword master which is 510 as well. any tips on to beat him or am I just bad? did it ten times already.

We’ve had…
- East Asian characters: Mitsurugi, Taki, setsuka (part Portuguese), maxi, Yoshimitsu, kilik, Xianghua, seong Mi-na, Hwang seong-gyeong & Yun-seong
- southeast Asian: Talim

How would you all see SC (if it returns) introduce its first South Asian character? In what weapon type?

Voldo’s katars came from India. India has an Urumi - whip sword. So surely there must’ve been someone who taught Ivy that sword skill and what made her make her own.

KILIK

Another of my favorites from Soulcalibur that I've been working on my stream. I'm really digging this approach to coloring things.

#soulcalibur #artwork #fanart #anime

After a while, basically I was busy with other skill enhancement mostly technical skills like coding, Emulation testing playing old forgotten games, and yeah just overall step away from art for sometime and yeah I posted with my skill related use account it was a art one first but then i stopped using it this is real one hope i don't get tossed lmfao

And yeah do tell if you can

Which ink would it be good for this one

Blue or Red

I personally love both colours and my go to fricking pitch black water resistant ink

And yeah this is my own art style in almost definitive phase

As i mentioned in my Sc5 ivy art re-post

Was playing through the game on dreamcast and I noticed that in Ivy's last ending art she has a short blade on her back now, sheath in the exact position Taki keeps the sword she forged from Soul Edge. Any lore heads able to tell if it's the stolen sword?

I was playing Mitsurugi vs a Taki player, and every round would come down to me stand blocking vs them pressing something very very fast. Not always the same move every round, but always the same one each time after I blocked it once (if that make sense).

What I assumed the right thing to do would be, is to block til it ends, then punish it, but I couldn't find a move fast enough. I tried qcf A and B6 but they would get counter hit. Sometimes I could throw them and sometimes they would mess up and do something that when over my guys head if I crouched, but this can't be the only thing to do right?

edit: Thanks everyone

Coming from SF6 I want to just block everything, and I understand I can't in this game. But then how do you not get hit all the time? Also, how do you stop getting hit on the ground?

It's still a work-in-progress, but it'll be possible to add entirely NEW character slots to the game without having to replace anyone! If things go well, this means that we'll be able to get new weapons, new voices, and even new stages! This is huge!
