What do you think of Soulcalibur VI guest characters?

[ShadowSplit]

Do you think characters like 2B, Haohmaru or Geralt were a good choice for this game?
Would you wish to see another character like 2B in the next game?

I also don't recall the guest characters of the older Soul Calibur games getting on my nerves as much as the one's in 6 do. Played all of the games, fought plenty of Vaders, Apprentices, Ezio's Heihachi's Spawn's. Yes magical properties has always been a factory in the games but 6 seems to have cranked it up one too many knotches

Then your memory is just faulty.

SC5 got more hate that SC6. Yoda got more hate than any other guest character in series history; Yoda was the N64 Golden Eye Oddjob of SC games.

Baby Yoda should be in SC7

I share the same sentiment. Yoda was a problem, tho.

I also did play Yoda players but mostly on XBox and only briefly due to constant Xbox red rings of death, switched to PS3 after the 2nd xbox died. I didn't see as many Yoda's on PS3. as a long time Asta player Yoda was a pain in the butt and hard to hit luckily I don't think I ever came across too many high level Yoda players.

I played PS3 version, but offline. Don't think I ever tried little bugger. But in general, fighting short characters in SC game is pain in the butt more often than not.

She's not the worst opponent you can fight against. Sounds like you were playing as Geralt.

I wouldn't call Bayonetta an anime girl, but you do you, kiddo.

Nothing personnel, kid.

The first time I dropped the game was because I tried to air grab 2B with Astaroth and somehow it didnt connect. That moment lives rent free in my mind forever.

Wonky hit and hurt boxes galore.

THUNDARR THE BARBARIAN ! Add Thundarr, Ookla, and Princess Ariel to the game as DLC... I'll gladly pay $ 9.99 just to have them as 3 playable characters, with their special abilities from the TV series. (Sun Sword, Ookla has pipes, cars, bolders, strength, Princess Ariel has extensive magic and fantastical gymnastic moves. )

I remember in season 1 or postseason, you could Instant Transmission Asta's SuperDupermove by de-aging into a 12 year old for one second and mashing the buttons real good. The hell was that about?!
Seeing Sigfredflinstone in any tournament match at any point in SC6' life cycle has been a treasure trove of those kinds of dumbass interactions. He hard counters two top tiers and sucks against the rest of the cast just because of his big dumb sword hitting when it most certainly did not morfokr.

The rough edges are kind of lovable. When it's not literally the first time you've seen it, then it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and the devs abandoned their baby to starve in these woods!

Geralt and 2B are good, the other guy sucks.

Surprised no one mentioned guts
