SoulCalibur VI - Hilde Battle Director Comment

Hilde is back and we now have the game's Battle Director Oosaka (@oosaka_twt) give out some comments on how the character is going to be played this time around. For those who are new to her, Hilde is described as a medium to long-range fighter that uses a spear for her stronger vertical strikes and a small sword that she can pull out very fast to cover the horizontal ranges. Going by these new comments, it looks like Hilde is much more user friendly in SoulCalibur VI. The Battle Director comments come courtesty of Dengeki Online:

Soul Calibur 6 - Amy Battle Director Comment

Amy is our latest character addition to the Soul Calibur 6 roster and as per usual, we now have some brief comments on how she fights from the game's Battle Director Oosaka (@oosaka_twt). Described as an extremely fast and up-close fighter, Amy has new moves where she tosses a rose at the opponent and ramp up some of her attacks to unleash a strong finisher. We'll have to wait and see how that translate to the gameplay when Amy eventually comes out but check out the comments in the meanwhile.

Summary of Upcoming Balances Changes in Soul Calibur 6 Ver 1.11 from Dengeki Broadcast

Soul Calibur 6 is expected to get more balance changes in the upcoming Version 1.11 patch so the dev team recently took the time to break down some of the things to expect in a live stream with Dengeki Online. You see the game's producer, director and battle system director go through every character and detail some of the things to either, fix or correct, in relation to the character designs. The team also describes their development philosophies for SC6 which is interesting to know if you're curious as to what their reasoning for some of the changes is. There's also a brief comment of the next DLC pack in the Season Pass which happens to be a Customization Pack featuring over 100 pieces and some new BGM to use in Soul Calibur 6. The stream is archived on YouTube but it's in Japanese so you have Arika_ex over on Reddit to thank for taking the time to translate and summarize all the main bits covered in the stream.

Soul Calibur 6 - 2B Battle Director Comment

2B from "NieR:Automata" is the newest character coming to Soul Calibur 6 and we have some details from the Soul Calibur 6 Battle Director (@oosaka_twt) that describes how she's going to fight. Her combat design sounds a bit like Noctis's from Tekken 7 in which they're both recommended as easy beginner characters with simple commands in their movelists. 2B's unique characteristic in SC6 though is she has her Pod 042 assistant that helps her out during battles. You can read more of what she has in store in English down below (Thanks Game Watch for the source.)
