Ignore people saying CaS and Reversal Edge. Any drooling moron knew to sidestep a very obviously telegraphed vertical attack and CaS is no worse than the vomit you're forced to play against in Tekken 7 custom costumes.
It died because Bamco had little faith in the success of the game since it's inception and was more focused on golden boy Tekken and new kid on the block Dragonball FighterZ. Soul Calibur has always had a smaller audience so it was never going to compare. Despite that it had a good running at EVO and some other tournaments and Bamco gave it some love with DLC and was even preparing to give it a world tour.
Then Covid happened. That's what killed the game; it took an eternity to get the rest of Season 2 dlc out and Bamco had no plans for the game after they finished with Hwaorang and no presence in tournaments. Then Okubo, the guy that was responsible for SC6 even existing left Project Soul and that was that.
>CaS is no worse than the vomit you're forced to play against in Tekken 7 custom costumes.
Except Tekken is hugely popular so when people who hate that gay shit leave, Tekken is still fine.
CaS doesn't belong in ranked online for Soulcalibur. Real homies who's souls truly burn don't want it.
nah homie you b***hing in an mongolian basket weaving forum just shows how you're just an irrelevant b***h who will never steer any part of the game ever
you dont even have the balls/money/connections to even steer the game in any direction and you can just stay outta it
>who will never steer any part of the game ev
I don't want to. I've got a life to live.
Reversal Edge was a dumb mechanic that had no place in the game, but yeah it's not what killed the game. Bad netcode didn't help, but the real killer is that Bamco plainly just doesn't give a frick about the series or its fans. Soulcalibur 6 was so close to being perfect that it actually infuriates me further knowing that we're probably never going to see a Soulcalibur 7 because it's not Tekken. I also agree that people b***hing about CaS are just salty homosexuals who look for any excuse to complain about why they got bodied.
>Soul Caliber >DEAD
>Dead or Alive >DEAD
>Virtua Fighter >DEAD
>Bloody Roar >DEAD
>Tekken >2nd best selling fighting series after Mortal Kombat
What sort of unjust world do we live in where the shittiest 3D fighter is the only one left on the market?
Because Tekken is slop for normies in the same vein that Mortal Kombat is despite it not having been good since like the fricking PS2 era.
>people b***hing about CaS are just salty homosexuals who look for any excuse to complain about why they got bodied.
You're a moron then. Nobody thinks CaS made them lose. They think it's UGLY AND GAY.
I don't want to look at your special fricking trannoid fingerpaintings of waifus. I want to look at sexy powerful heroes and villains from a storied and beloved game franchise. If I win, I want to beat SC characters. If I lose I want to lose to SC characters. Guests get a pass
CaS online is absolute shit with the kinds of moronic combinations being leagues worse than shit like headgear, pitch black dragunov, blinding white outfits, and character move obfuscating outfits.
>Then Okubo, the guy that was responsible for SC6
Okubo was the producer, not god. He was just one person of many who brought the shelved IP back. SC5's failure was also around the same time as TTT2's failure. It was just a bad time for Bamco fighters, but SC6 and T7 sold well beyond their expectations with T& now being the most successful entry in the series to date.
>>CaS abominations overwhelmingly popular in ladder matches >>No good casual matchmaking option
Tekken is both of these things too and yet it's the most alive fighting game with Street Fighter.
It's just Bamco handling of things that fricks online longevity for their other games other than Tekken.
>Tekken is both of these things too and yet it's the most alive fighting game with Street Fighter.
Yes but Tekken and SF are just mainstream slop for normies. No offense but it takes being an actual serious fightan or gaming player to advance beyond the two mainstream "Muscled Karatemen kick each other" games. SC needs to keep a relatively autistic and dedicated core fanbase happy and having to memorize which combos drop against which kinds of custom characters and even just TOLERATE millions of moronic memes and trannoid waifu abominations rather than the BELOVED CAST OF HEROES AND VILLAINS THEY BOUGHT THE GAME TO EXPERIENCE.
I bought SC6 to play SC6. I was forced to play against dildoBlack folk and moronic heterochomatic waifus and shit.
Tekken customizations while annoying, pale in comparison to some of the bullshit you could get away with in SC6. The only thing I can think of being SC6 tier in Tekken 7 is when players made Drag’s skeleton costume all black to make him damn near impossible to see.
For me the gameplay is just too quick. I went back and played SC1 on Dreamcast and the speed of the moves is very natural, but each sequel made it faster and faster with no hope of reacting. Not to mention the visual hit effects are way too flashy, can't see shit.
>For me the gameplay is just too quick. I went back and played SC1 on Dreamcast and the speed of the moves is very natural, but each sequel made it faster and faster with no hope of reacting.
This is an outright lie. The games kept on getting slower until SC5. SC6 is without a doubt the fastest entry in the entire series, and I personally think the speed is perfect. God I hope they don't change it for SC7.

Gee, I really wonder.

lmao, not even true. Literally moronic poster
>Dude how about we make every single female character (and lot of male ones too) STILL look like she suffers from Down syndrome, instead of properly following the artwork chara?
In the game's defense SC6 was made on a shoestring budget and the same engine as Soul Calibur 5. Tekken 7 looks similar and that has no excuse.
I literally won't buy SC7 if they don't make a nice clean matchmaking pool where you can only play main roster characters. Dress up your main cast characters as moronic as you want but DO NOT subject me to a million ugly waifu prostitutes and silly memes.
then just beat them and win

There were people who made their characters nearly unintelligible but there were rare. For every person trying to scam wins by making it hard to see his character, there was 99 disgustingly badly made waifus and 100 more stupid memes and pop culture references.

Be an even deader franchise that also insults its audience by removing the only thing it's known for (breasts and ass)?
I think doubling down and making the supers more nuanced is the way to go. Give us some choice of which super to take or an option to not have one in exchange for some sort of benefit.

Tekken was always the normalgay Japanese fighter besides maybe SF since Tekken 3 in 1998. It was kinda predestined, with VF and SC being flukes of success (outside of Japan that is, where Tekken was somewhat mocked i favor of VF). Bloody Roar was always niche even in its prime.
DoA is sad because it had a steady fanbase, albeit of coomers, that Tecmo forsook for social justice points. The was straight up developer self sabotage.

sc6 is that good, it just needs rollback to be perfect and stand the test of time but noooooo those homosexuals won't bother. Not even sc2 the og classic. Let's just keep an historical series completely fricking unplayable meanwhile arcsys and snk are retrofitting with rollback everything in their catalog. But for bamco it's all about tekken TEKKEN TEKKEN, can't have people with different taste no sir you will only play TEKKEN TEKKEN TEKKEN whether you like it or not.

Truth. The reality is always that Bamco is incompetent.
CaS online is absolute shit with the kinds of moronic combinations being leagues worse than shit like headgear, pitch black dragunov, blinding white outfits, and character move obfuscating outfits.
Nothing quite like fighting some guys miniature waifu using Knightmare’s moveset.

The netcode and game balance were decent. Especially after S2.

Bamco didn't market it for shit.
Just port SC2 to PC. Even if the meme characters don't make it, SC2 will always be the peak.
For me the gameplay is just too quick. I went back and played SC1 on Dreamcast and the speed of the moves is very natural, but each sequel made it faster and faster with no hope of reacting. Not to mention the visual hit effects are way too flashy, can't see shit.

You slower. SC4 was like wading through mud. SC2 was fast and felt perfect
Not true, SC4 was slow as syrup. and people complain so it got much better by SC5.
