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?

[Geneticfreak69]

yeah, it's good and unfortunately we won't have any more new characters or story for this game.

Can't wait for Soul Calibur 7 at least.

Still expecting announcement next year. 2025 is 30 years anniversary, the best time for release.

Negan, Kunimitsu, Master Raven, and especially Noctis are missing. I sure wanna smash Noctis's pretty boy face to a promogranite. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!

I see. 2025 would be good.
May be annoucement in 2025 and release in 2026.

Would love to see Baiken from Guilty Gear be a guest character.

That's a very good pick.

IMHO, the characters themselves are pretty good choices for the game. How they've been implemented though, that's a completely different can of worms that makes me question the sanity of the game's userbase.

I still wonder if Geralt would've even been in the game if SCVI had a bigger budget. He was likely the least expensive character they could get as a guest considering at the time of SCVI's release, Bandai Namco had a multi-game publishing deal with CD Projekt Red that included physical editions of The Witcher 2 and 3, along with Cyberpunk 2077.

Hell, he was definitely not the guest announcement that everyone wanted. That title would've gone to 2B. The fact that "cute girl stomp dirty old man" is a thing makes me question whether Geralt should've even been added in the first place. In fact, SCVI not having a guest on launch wouldn't look too different from the game we have now if i'm being perfectly honest.

I personally don't mind Gerry but the Witcher series is something I don't really follow all that much... 2B was awesome because she's a sexy android and that's why I like her.

I think if Geralt was never in the game, i'd have a much higher opinion on Haohmaru than I do now. As it currently stands, he comes off to me as "replacement for base game content"

If the goal for guest characters is to attract other fanbases, I think gary stu and sexdoll 2000 were honestly the best choices they could have made at the time. The only "bad" choice was Hao because of how poorly Showdown has performed.

In that same regard I have to say Negan would have to be the worst guest character off the top of my head. I have to imagine there would be minimal overlap between a person who enjoys a tv zombie drama and a martial art fighting game.

Negan is definitely the worst in my eyes too. I didn't even know who he was until I did some proper research. Haohmaru kinda makes sense though since both Samurai Shodown and Soul Calibur are weapon-based fighting games.

As dumb as this sounds, they could've possibly featured a character from For Honor, a Ubisoft title. Soul Calibur has worked with Ubisoft in the past if I remember correctly and some of the characters from For Honor would've fit perfectly I think.

I always thought that the popular opinion was that Geralt was a wasted roster slot to the point where him being bad = more people buying the Haohmaru DLC, and that tells me that they can plan for a base game character's obsolescence in a future SoulCalibur game.

Don't really understand what you're saying. It makes no sense to have a european fantasy longsword character become "obsolete" by the game's third samurai (im counting setsuka here). They have totally different playstyles and are totally different characters that can coexist.

Depends on how popular FH was at the time. Though I heard Warden in Showdown was positively received.
