Discussion Weapons types I want to see in a Future SoulCalibur game

Title

1: 1-Handed Mace / Hammer (Maybe w/ shield, but I'd prefer without)

Soul Calibur has assembled many weapons from history but i feel that there's a glaring ommission. Where's all the Blunt, concussive weapons? I get that Kilik, Siegfried & Astaroth have the Kali Yuga Bo-Staff, Octagonal Rod (or Kanabō) & Barrel-hammer weapons (respectively) as weapon skins but we don't really have a Mace Style.

A "Mace" weapon, I'd imagine, either has a lot of break attacks in its kit, or chip damage on block because Blunt weapons break more under the armor from impacts than breaking the armor itself.

Weapon variants: Smooth head, Flanged head, Spiked head (Morning Star), a simple wooden club (maybe Baseball Bat?), Hammer Head, Cuauhulolli (Aztek Mace), Mjolnir as a notable Legendary weapon skin.

2: Kusarigama (Sickle & Chain)

I get that Maxi has the double sickled nunchaku alt-weapon skin, but he's more a Rushdown archetype over a Shinobi-style Tactical spacer. This character's kit would probably be similar to a Mixture of Ivy's whip techniques & Taki's ninjutsu. Longer ranged grapples & attacks with the Chain and swift follow-ups with the Sickle. you probably get the idea.

Weapon Variants: Simple field sickle & chain, Crescent sickle w/ Star hammer at the end of chain, Kyoketsu-Shoge.

3: Flail & Shield

An sister weapon to the Mace weapon family but played more as a Charger Archetype from other fighting games. hold an input to begin spinning the flail to charge an attack and release to unleash a powerful strike.

Weapon Variants: Smooth / Flanged / Spiked heads, Iron-Lantern head, Puffer-fish head (joke weapon)

4: Combat Knife + Hand Axe + Revolver

So Taki is cool n all for being the Shinobi / Kunoichi using her double Daggers, Shurikans, Caltrops and the like but, Funnily enough in history there was a period of time where Cowboys existed in the same time as French Pirates & Samurai.

I think it would be interesting to see a Rustic, Old-West American join the roster. Cervantes having a Gun-Blade opens a chance for another fire-arm wielding character.

Additionally this could open a Guest Character slot for Red Dead's Arthur Morgan!

Honorary number 5: Give us back Aeon with his Twin Axes and a more fleshed out kit. I wanna play my favorite Lizard boy again...

Any other weapons from History you think would be a good fit for Soul Calibur?

This is my attempt at Maxi's double nunchakus weapon exhibition, recorded in 60 fps this time. It does look way better in my opinion at this frame rate. He only does this demonstration in Soulcalibur 1. The original demo doesn't have music so I added in the stage theme. Footage is recorded from the Xbox live arcade version of the game.

Found a very small Cassandra figure at a random resale store.

She looks rather interesting to say the least.

Regardless it hit a lot of nostalgia seeing her as I would play soul caliber 4 when I was a teenager.

So while using my CAS (Ryukia the Reaper) I’ve noticed that while using Talim’s moveset, this happens (although not very often in my case). Does this happen with any other character class?

Discussion Hypothetical: Do you think Soul Calibur would become more interesting if a "Disarm" mechanic were implemented?

29 Upvotes

I know we've got Tekken for a No-Weapon 3D fighter but hear me out. (even then, they've broken that rule with a number of characters pulling out a fucking glock & Yoshimitsu always wielding swords)

Soul Calibur characters are shown with their martial prowess at their peak with their weapons. however, weapons aren't superglued to people's hands when wielding them.

So, Imagine you clash with your opponent and your weapon is knocked out of your hands and onto the stage somewhere, or even worse, it's knocked off stage. you'd need to defend yourself somehow while also attempting to re-arm yourself. If the weapon landed on stage, then moving over it would re-equip your character. if it went out of stage then you'll have to survive til next round to reset. It would dramatically change up strategies. do you fight back with your disadvantage or attempt to avoid your opponent's attacks in order to re-arm yourself?

Obviously fighting unarmed puts you at a significant disadvantage to Range & power but many characters have shown their still quite capable to fight unarmed either from sheer strength like Astaroth or Nightmare still throwing people about, or with their agility / acrobatics like Kilik or Xianghua. this'd probably be trickier with characters who dual-wield like Cervantes & Talim... Blocking is a problem cause with no weapon to block with and take the blows, you'd be cut down quite quickly (chip damage probably from a gameplay perspective)

Not saying that a Disarm should happen after every Weapon glance, Guard-break, Guard-impact parry, failed Guard-impact against a break-attack, guarded break-attack or losing a Reversal-edge ro-sham-bo. it could be from specific circumstances or certain moves that disarm your opponent.

I know that would mean a whole lotta extra work from the Dev team to give every character an Unarmed stance & moveset, but i think it would wildly change up some aspects to this fighting game.

What are your thoughts?

Gameplay SoulCalibur VI – Soul Chronicle & Libra of Soul Difficulty Selector

7 Upvotes

This mod adds a difficulty selector for Soul Chronicle and Libra of Soul. It overrides the CPU difficulty used by these modes, including battles where the original game normally decides the difficulty for you.

You can choose between Default, Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard and Legendary directly from the Options menu using L1/R1. The selected difficulty is saved automatically and can also be changed manually through the included INI file.

Gameplay SoulCalibur III – Global Difficulty Cheat

19 Upvotes

This PCSX2 cheat turns the Quick Play difficulty setting into a global difficulty selector. It overrides the difficulty used by all game modes and fights, including modes where the original game doesn't normally let you change it, such as Tales of Souls, Chronicles of the Sword, Tournament and League.

Tested and working on the USA version of SoulCalibur III. Compatibility with other regional versions is currently unknown.

What are all your thoughts on these countries from the 15th century? Any good weapon choices & fighting styles to introduce new warriors for the next Soulcalibur?

Bring back Soulcaibur for an SCVII as it lacks Africans (Zasalamel the only one), South Asians, Middle Easterns, Pacific Islanders, and Latinos/Hispanics!

Weapons? Could use a bow, chakrams, bludgeons, bringing back the sickle, the lance, steel fan, grieve edge and fresh new ones nobody's done before.
