Line #89 Funny/SoulcaliburVI


1	* Ring Out quotes are back from ''V''.
2	** Nightmare, in all his hamminess, says this:
3	--->'''"THE NIGHTMARE SHALL NEVER END!"'''
4	*** Even funnier is the second time his opponent rings him out. He seems to be miffed that either his opponent didn't take the hint or they aren't taking him seriously:
5	---->'''"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU IT WOULDN'T END!"'''
6	** Geralt gets a rather surprised yet annoyed "What the hell?!" Alternatively, he says "This is ''ridiculous!''" He's clearly not used to the concept of loss by technicality.
7	** Taki gets an annoyed "Damn it!"
8	*** Especially funny if she rings herself out by accident.
9	** Kilik has a whiny "This is not fair!"
10	** Mitsurugi has "Fight properly!"
11	** Grøh has "Happy now?!"
12	** Amy instead has a rather [[TheComicallySerious cold and serious]] "I give up."
13	*** Even funnier is if she loses by ring out a second time, while still keeping her deadpan expression:
14	---->"Ridiculous."
15	* Some characters get some unique dialogue when pitted against each other. Some can be interesting, but others likely will elicit at least a chuckle.
16	** Apparently, Ivy doesn't appreciate Nightmare's newfound sense of humor:
17	--->'''Nightmare:''' Dexter Purpure, you ungrateful fool!
18	--->'''Ivy:''' I've had enough of your petty jokes!
19	** Seong Mi-na says this when about to fight Ivy:
20	--->'''Seong Mi-na:''' [[Main/ACupAngst Size isn't everything!]]
21	* During her story line in Chronicle of Soul, Sophitia gets to spar with her fiancee Rothion. If the player uses the grab "Heaven's Arch", in which Sophitia puts her opponent's face against her crotch before slamming it to the ground, she delivers a cheeky... pillow talk line to her husband to be.
22	--->'''Sophitia:''' Do you enjoy this?
23	* Some of the Reversal Edge moves initiate unique quotes, which can be funny at times.
24	--->'''Taki (against Maxi):''' You made your hair into a weapon?
25	--->'''Mitsurugi (against Nightmare):''' What happened to your right arm?!
26	** As a sidenote, nearly every character will make a comment about Maxi's hair if they successfully hit him with a Reversal Edge. Kilik even has a unique taunt in both his normal and Soul Charged states.
27	--->'''Normal!Kilik:''' Your hair--nevermind.
28
29	--->'''Malfested!Kilik:''' That hair, what's wrong with you?!
30	*** The funniest thing out of all this? Check out Maxi's taunt if, specifically, the top piece of his outfit's broken:
31	---->'''Maxi:''' Dammit, my beautiful hair!
32	* Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment has conducted a series of community polls on what Create-A-Soul character they would make. The result? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4yauQ-clZ0 A Lizardman using Azwel's fighting style, sporting bat/demon wings, horns, a loincloth, and... cat ears? Where did they get that flintlock pistol?]]
33	* You have the option to ask about Ivy's {{Stripperiffic}} outfit in Libra of Soul. Her response feels like the perfect sly wink from the devs that show they're fully aware of how over-the-top the sexualized designs are, and one need not worry about changing it.
34	-->'''Ivy:''' This? I designed it myself. It allows me to communicate quickly with my blade and control it whether as a sword or a whip... [[RuleOfSexy I've never thought deeply on why though, to be quite honest]].
35	* Xianghua's story is all about how she joined the Emperor's Guard. The trials to do so are, of course, grueling. She has to face powerful contenders, defeat friends, loyally brave desperate journeys... but first, she must do the most terrible challenge of all... [[MundaneMadeAwesome a written exam]]. The absurdity of her being able to blow past every fight the Emperor throws at her, yet whining and bargaining as if writing is the worst thing ever conceived, is hilarious — made all the better by the fact that her instructor, a close family friend, spends the whole time trolling her.
36	-->'''Meimei:''' (''about Xianghua's favorite moon cakes'') You can eat when you pass the exam.
37	** Remembering that Xianghua's JokeWeapon in ''II'' was a calligraphy brush makes this even funnier.
38	* The fourth chapter of Ivy's Soul Chronicle begins with the following piece of text:
39	-->Nightmare told Ivy of his wish to return his father's soul to this world through the art of resurrection… Nothing about this situation appeared normal. To make matters worse, she found [[{{Understatement}} something decidedly uncouth]] about the other companion with whom she would be working — a hulking giant by the name of Astaroth.
40	* Nightmare [[TheNicknamer bestows the following titles]] on his highest servants: Dexter Purpure (on Ivy), Base Vert (on the Lizardman chief), and Sinister Sable (on Astaroth). Ivy considers hers a bad omen, what [[TheUnintelligible goes through Lizardman's mind is anyone's guess]], and [[AudienceSurrogate Astaroth is clearly weirded out by the whole thing and bemusedly "thanks" Nightmare with an awkward, uncomfortable look on his face]].
41	* In Astaroth's story, he and the Chief Lizardman briefly bond over how incredibly boring it is having to comb a continent for a sword. Astaroth even has a moment where he whines like someone too sleepy to get out of bed.
42	** Later, Astaroth comes across the ruined aftermath of one of Nightmare's rampages, and reacts with very surprising — if hammy as usual — horror, [[EvenEvilHasStandards seemingly appalled at how far the Azure Knight has gone]]. [[SubvertedTrope He then clarifies]] that he's distraught [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk that there's nothing left for]] ''[[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk him]]'' [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk to kill]].
43	* After hearing about Soul Edge's new owner, Mitsurugi mistakenly refers to Nightmare as [[AccidentalMisnaming "Night of Mare"]]. Even outside of his Chronicle, he wouldn't stop calling him by that name. It gets funnier when the encyclopedia in the Museum has an entry on the error, lampshading that the ronin was not that smart.
44	** In Libra of Soul, he misunderstands the Conduit's mention of Astral Fissures as "Astul fishies" and calls Geralt "Jerald".
45	* Raphael's disguise to throw off people hunting him while in the service of Lord Dumas? [[PaperThinDisguise Glasses and shortening his name to "Raphy."]]
46	* One of the new front frames players can use for their Create-A-Soul portrait is a parody of a Magazine/TimeMagazine cover, reading "TIME[[subscript:[[StalkedByTheBell 's up]]]]" across the top, and "how to cope with GUARD IMPACT" along the bottom.
47	* The "weapon and fighting style" portion of Grøh's profile in the Museum states that he actively [[InvokedTrope invokes]] CallingYourAttacks, because he feels that the techniques of the organization should be passed down for future generations and that by shouting them in the midst of battle, his allies will take notes and be inspired.
48	* Of course, there's the return of CAS, which as always allows for all sorts of possibilities for hilarity both online and off, such as having [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny Cloud Strife fight Teddy Roosevelt]] as one example. A highlight in particular is having [[spoiler:ComicBook/{{Thanos}} [[BadassFingersnap snap]] ComicBook/SpiderMan out of existence ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=955zx3S9_yA#t=2m54s again]]'']]. For those who've seen ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', it's [[CrossesTheLineTwice darkly hilarious]].
49	* Should Astaroth, or a custom character using his style, hit his opponent with a Reversal Edge and succeed in the second round with a vertical attack, he can drag and throw his opponent off the stage or have them slam into the wall face-first. It comes with a unique camera shot if he does that.
50	* As with most previous titles, successfully connecting Kilik or Seong Mi-na's GroinAttack makes a ''ding'' sound when it hits. Kilik's is particularly funny due to his very fitting line during the attack ("Forgive me!")
51	* Geralt faces a persistent enemy in his Chronicle, a Malfested who can't leave him well enough alone. The first time is at Astral Chaos when Geralt has been sent to the ''Soulcalibur'' universe by the sorceress, while the second time is in the woods. The third time it happens, he interrupts Geralt's conversation with Edge Master about finding a way back home.
52	-->'''Wounded Malfested:''' I will... kill you!
53	-->'''Geralt:''' (''clearly annoyed'') Yadda, yadda. Let's get to it.
54	** In the fight against Mitsurugi, should a Reversal Edge occur...
55	--->'''Mitsurugi:''' Ready, Geralt?!
56	--->'''Geralt:''' Ugh, really?
57	--->'''Mitsurugi:''' Right before your eyes!
58	* One of 2B's victory poses includes the camera going for [[PantyShot a gratuitous upskirt]] before Pod points out she's being watched. 2B whirls around only to fold her arms and shoot an accusing DeathGlare [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall right at the camera]].
59	* Another has Pod finding a random item after the fight, which can include:
60	** A parking ticket, which is {{anachronis\|mStew}}tic no matter which way you come at it.
61	** A Mackerel. First, you can find this in the desert. Second, it's a CallBack to one of ''Automata''[='s=] joke endings, where eating one was a fatal experience for 2B. [[WorthIt Tasted pretty good, though.]]
62	* Even some of the generic character introductions can fit together surprisingly well. One of Zasalamel's intros is especially prone to this and makes him come across as TheComicallySerious. Some examples:
63	** Against Seong Mi-na.
64	---> '''Zasalamel:''' Let the power of my words... sink into your soul!\
65	'''Seong Mi-na:''' [[ShutUpHannibal Hmph! Say what you like!]]
66	** Against Cervantes.
67	---> '''Zasalamel:''' Let the power of my words... sink into your soul!\
68	'''Cervantes:''' Hmph! You done talking yet?!
69	** Alternatively...
70	---> '''Zasalamel:''' Let the power of my words... sink into your soul!\
71	'''Cervantes:''' I'll silence your incessant mouth forever!
72	** Against Raphael.
73	---> '''Zasalamel:''' Let the power of my words... sink into your soul!\
74	'''Raphael:''' Do not delude yourself, thou wretched fool!
75	** Against Maxi.
76	---> '''Zasalamel:''' Let the power of my words... sink into your soul!\
77	'''Maxi:''' Boring... just like the rest of 'em.
78	** Against Tira.
79	---> '''Zasalamel:''' Let the power of my words... sink into your soul!\
80	'''Tira (Jolly):''' Ooh! I'm getting goosebumps! Say that again!
81	** Alternatively...
82	---> '''Zasalamel:''' Let the power of my words... sink into your soul!\
83	'''Tira (Gloomy):''' Shut up and die!
84	** Against Amy.
85	---> '''Zasalamel:''' Let the power of my words... sink into your soul!\
86	'''Amy:''' Is that... truly to important to you?
87	** Against [[MirrorMatch himself]].
88	---> '''Zasalamel 1:''' Let the power of my words... sink into your soul!\
89	'''Zasalamel 2:''' Hmph, I knew you would say that.
90	** Against Cassandra.
91	---> '''Zasalamel:''' Let the power of my words... sink into your soul!\
92	'''Cassandra:''' Uh-huh... Enough talk. Let's fight!
93	** Against Astaroth.
94	---> '''Zasalamel:''' Let the power of my words... sink into your soul!\
95	'''Astaroth:''' Hah! Is that all you have to say?! [[note]]This one becomes even funnier if Zasalamel gets killed by his Critical Edge, as Astaroth will say "Good! You're quiet now!" as a BondOneLiner.[[/note]]
96	* A lot of the [[BondOneLiner Bond One-Liners]] in this game are pretty cool but Cassandra's line has her [[HowDoIShotWeb wondering if she's using the weapons correctly]] if she wins a round with her Critical Edge.
97	* One of the buffs for Grøh in Season 2 is listed as "increased the number of opportunities for Grøh to shout his move names, so that his allies may better appreciate them." That's right, CallingYourAttacks is a buff. In addition, [[https://twitter.com/TheFairy519/status/1199174888206020608 he has an extremely long win quote against Hilde]] which involves him lecturing her on some of the finer aspects of it. The results screen and options pop up in the middle of it, as if the game itself is saying "oh, he's going to be a while. You can go now."
98	-->'''Groh:''' You've become stronger. It is well to shout out your attack names, but there are risks. First, it interrupts your breathing, which can be dangerous. It also alerts the opponent to the technique you will use. The greatest risk is it may disrupt your concentration, which... Hey, are you listening? Why are you laughing?!
99	** The kicker? Hilde's win quote against Grøh shows that she completely buys what he's selling, probably because she indulges in [[LargeHam some of the same tendencies]] in battle.
100	--->'''Hilde:''' I understand now. Shouting the name of my technique really does help.
101	* If Hilde engages in a Reversal Edge clash against Geralt, she will happily and excitedly exclaim, "You like wolves as well?"
102	* While taunting Ivy or Sophitia, Amy will ask, with a bit of distaste, if her opponent's back hurts.
103	* Pit Mitsurugi against Hwang, and when the two activate their Soul Charge, their quotes will seem to connect to each other.
104	--->'''Mitsurugi:''' Prepare yourself, Hwang Gyeong-seong!\
105	'''Hwang:''' Stop calling me...the wrong name!
106	* At the end of his Chronicle, Asteroth announces his intention of getting Soul Edge, and then... he just stops [[AndThenWhat because he realizes that he doesn't have the slightest idea of what to do once he's done that]].
107	* In her Soul Chronicle, every time Setsuka calls someone by an insulting name [[FunWithSubtitles the subtitles will then change and refer to that individual by that name instead of whatever they were called before.]]
