No CaS characters. LOL I understand people make their weird shit, but what's the difference?

There are a TON of things you can do that "mask" what moves you're about to do making it harder for the opponent to react to your moves. Try adding three Thundergod Drums at Maxium Size in random directions and see what i mean. Also, CaS characters have different stats depending on height and aren't as balanced as the "stock" cast.

[iw2ma]

^ All of that.

COLOR EDITS ONLY lol

[Vulcan422]

Compatibility Pack 3 delayed on XBL until Friday. So pissed right now.

Lost Swords trademarked by Bamco for North America last week, perhaps this is apart of Bamco's Comic Con announcements/panel? .o.

I hope it's either a 5 remake with missing cut content added in + definitive balance changes to try and bring everyone up instead of taking people down or it's the next chapter with a good budget and time ; w;

[Starlight777]

Can this please be an update with Talim, Zasalamel and Yun-Seong? They shouldn't have been cut from the roster in the first place.

[Hecatom]

It would be really nice if they decide to make a revision of the game where they add the rest of the cast.

I will certainly be happy about it

[TekkamanArk]

Talim, Zasalamel, and Yunsung should have their styles present. Zasalamel as a character should stay, Yunsung is irrelevant and someone else can take his style, doesn't matter either way for Talim. They also need to lose the 2 gender-specific-random characters in exchange for 2 more characters. Would also be nice if some of the creation-only styles from 3 came back, or new creation-only styles.

[Urichinan]

Elysium and Kilik, I think, deserve their own move sets. It would be really cool if Elysium was like Necrid and made lots of different things out of Soul Calibur and used them to fight, and Kilik could easily take most of his old moves and have them tweaked to make him different from Xiba.

Personally though, I really want to see Seong Mi-Na and Rock (Or Bangoo) show up, since they were two of my favorite characters. I also wouldn't be opposed to Zasalamel and Talim making a return either. But I definitely want to see more brand new characters and weapons, particularly a ball and chain, sai (Would be cool for a parry character), and a bow and arrow.

If they were to bring back SCIII custom character styles, I would LOVE to see the grieve edge, bomb and dagger, tambourine and fan come back, because those were really cool.

I really look forward to seeing what this is, and I seriously hope this isn't a followup to Soul Calibur Legends. >_>

I suppose I really should have said before that we didn't need them as gender-specific-random characters, not that they should be removed. Elysium having a Necrid style of play would be amazingly fitting for her, so I fully support the idea. Kilik's staff style was epitomized in Xiba, so if he was going to do anything, he really did need to change styles almost entirely. If their going to do that much editting to a pre-existing character, might as well make a new one. Xiba handled Kilik and Seung Mina's style really well while maintaining his own flair, so both of them have no real point gameplay wise unless they have vastly different styles (and again, at that point, just make someone new instead of shoehorning nostalgia).

Seung Mina is handled well enough in Xiba, so she really shouldn't be present. It'd be redundant. Same for Rock to Astaroth. Bangoo with his own original style might be cool. I do want to see more original characters and weapons as well. I'd love just a normal 1-handed sword wielder guy, double voulge, and the bow + arrow guy sounds cool. No guns though.

[iw2ma]

i want them to change the entire game. Either back to vanilla SC5 or just make it a new thing.

SOUL CALIBUR 2 HD REMIX REVEALED

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2013/jul/19/soulcalibur-2-hd-revealed-namco-bandais-san-diego-comic-con-panel/

-PS3/360

-Release: Fall 2013

-Appears to be based on the PS2 version, no Spawn or Link, only Heihachi

-ONLINE PLAY CONFIRMED

-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

No news on what Lost Swords is yet.

Edited July 19, 2013 by Vulcan422

[TekkamanArk]

I have mixed opinions on this. Soul Calibur II is an amazing game, and still (to me) the best in the series, but I enjoyed the Gamecube game most because of the ability to play Link. Spawn was 5/10 in terms of fun to play as, and the PS2 version had Heihachi, who is simply a Tekken character, but it also had noticable slowdown and graphical issues, so to choose this version as the base is pretty bad.

As well, why is there no Wii U version? I can understand not being able to get Spawn so whatever, have Heihachi, but Namco-Bandai is working with Nintendo on Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U, so why was using Link impossible when the partnership is there AND the Gamecube SC2 was the best selling version?

[SolxBaiken]

DESPAIR! Lost Swords is just a f2p fighter, but given how poorly Tekken Revolution is, I'm not getting my hopes up, especially since I'd rather have a new game or definitive ver of V :\

[Hecatom]

I am actually interested on see how they handle Lost Worlds.

I have the feeling that they are toying with this F2P model to see what it works and what doesn't to be prepared for the real major releases of their numbered entries.

Plus it serves as advertisement for both franchises

[Vulcan422]

Can't wait to abuse Mitsurugi 4B when it becomes an Invincible Move.

EDIT: Single Player Only

http://www.siliconera.com/2013/09/11/free-to-play-soulcalibur-lost-swords-confirmed-for-europe/

Maybe it's the cut story content that never made it into the final game.

Edited September 11, 2013 by Vulcan422

[SolxBaiken]

Seeing how they made a point to highlight digital items, prepare to pay for each individual Create-A-Soul item. Also yeah, single-player only, I stopped caring.

Bamco is notorious for micro-transactions and now they're trying to bring the horrible social game plague to international waters. #eatadick

[Vulcan422]

They're just trying out the F2P strategy to see if it works.

IF this does have the cut story content, and more is released over time for free, then it might be worthwhile.

[TekkamanArk]

If this finally, FINALLY re-adds the strategy game mode from SC3 that I loved, I will spend so many hours on this and probably forsake a few full-scale games for it.
