That's even more confusing, though. It's not like any of the games are called "Soul Fighting."

Soul Calibur series is really the only thing to make sense, really. Soul Edge was already the odd one out of the series.

I think Demon & Dark Souls are actually called the Souls series, so as long as people can keep track of Soul vs Souls, we're fine.

Demon's Souls is not actually part of the the series. It's a precursor. Properly, it's the Dark Souls series, with that style being referred to as "Souls gameplay" for stuff like Bloodborne.

Let's just call it the Soul Train series.

But Soul Train might actually have or get a video game adaptation

Please reveal SC 6 soon. And show the classics people wanna see.

I can only hope they DON'T leave out Talim and Zasalamel this time. Or anyone else before 5 that everyone liked.

Maybe much more damn diversity this time too. And not rush it as an excuse to half-arse it.

There is no SCVI

There is only SOUL EDGE!

I wanna find the braintrust that decied Natsu should be the ONLY Soul Series rep in X Zone 2 and punch him in the fucking teeth.

Hopefully if they do SC 6 they don't fuck it up. And don't remove beloved characters.

And bring back Cassandra as well. "Cold-cocked into another dimension and no one cares" fuck. Whoever thought that up should be fired.

Cause Natsu makes the Smex Money of all the Newbies

She's Taki but with the Foreign Fanservice and Clumsy, the Japanese love that

Just not the West. how very convenient. That she's obnoxious compared to Taki doesn't help.

Remind me, WHY wasn't someone obvious like, I dunno, SIEGFRIED chosen?

Siegfried don't have boobs or tight Spandex you silly fool

They most likely wanted to have one of the newbies in it or maybe Natsu was requested/Her VA was the most available IDK

Maybe it was a coinflip between her and Phyrra

Maybe they were too stupid to use, shit I dunno, an actual protag like Sieg. Or a villain like NIGHTMARE or CERVANTES. Or even CHARADE as a mook. Or even Mitsurugi again!

I just want SCVI being the 3/4 of V we never got.

I wouldn't mind one of the new chars if it wasn't for the fact that none of the originals weren't in the first game either. Don't have anything against the new guys mind you(except for the idiot protag), but it comes across as negligent to the series roots.

I half expected the tweet to consist of "( )( )", which of course means a new Soul Calibur.

Based on the Popularity Poll from a while back, I'd say Talim and Taki have a pretty good shot at making it in as they were voted the two most popular characters in the series.

So I'm guessing Natsu will be eaten by a random beaver or something.tongue

Hopefully, they'll reveal it at E3 and release it a few months after. I have a hard time imagining that they haven't been working on the game for a while now. The official facebook kept teasing stuff in 2014. They made and shut down a blatant cash-grab F 2 P game. It's been a record long wait between mainline series announcements.

Harada's umm could be a tease. Or it could be "umm, I'm not the one to talk to about that." There was word from Harada back in January that Hoshino (the director of the soul series since 2013) is no longer allowed to say/tease anything on social media as per a rule from his boss, but again, that could mean several things.

Still, I'm hopeful. SCV did about as well as Tekken Tag 2 if I understand correctly. Granted, Tekken 7 has the arcade business model bringing them fat stacks to offset any potentially disappointing console sales, but perhaps something similar could be said of Lost Swords.

This. If we're lucky (ha), maybe they've been going through the entire existing roster with fine-tooth combs, adjusting everyone so characters with similar weapon types play fairly differently from each other, like what they did with Siegfried and Nightmare.

Maybe make like Tekken Tag 2 and make the old clones not play exactly like the originals.

And don't replace anyone else with idiotic "successors."
