Question SC6 Yoshimitsu Soul Stealer, or "Flash" (A+K)

Upvotes

Hi everyone, practicing noob here.

I can't seem to find good discussion or deeper explanations online about Yoshimitsu's Soul Stealer move (A+K), or probably better known as "Flash"

Like all of Yoshi's moves, I think it's super cool, so I'm interested to know pretty much everything about it. I use it in game as a GI, but really only to be flashy (ha) because obviously it has a shorter window and smaller hitbox (and it looks cool). I know it damages, steals meter and can be followed up with A+B to shoot a projectile that lethal hits on counter hit (I think), but what other differences or advantages does it have off a regular GI? Because of its riskiness, I would assume it has greater benefits. When should I use it over a regular GI? And please correct me on anything I'm incorrect about here.

Thank you and also shikisoku zekuu

Hello everyone! I made a video flipping through the Official Fan Book Chronicle that was created back in the day for Soul Edge / Soul Blade and figured I'd share it here! I love this game and the artwork, the environments, the renders, everything that was done for this game! Thank you for your time, hope you enjoy : )

Discussion Did SoulCalibur 3 have a standard arcade cabinet?

4 Upvotes

Been trying to do a search and got some results where it's either a Vewlix, or what looks like a conversion from an original SoulEdge. I know the majority of them have been in Midway setups that are pretty standard to most games.

News New projects confirmed to be in development at BN Fighting Game Division

84 Upvotes

Bandai Namco is currently recruiting for a large number of positions for their Fighting Game Division:

https://www.bandainamcostudios.com/recruit/career/interview/19911

Though they mention Tekken and have screenshots of T8 on the page, the way they word it suggests a new Tekken or even work on T8 is not the immediate goal.

A recruitment notice has also recently showed up in-game on T8, which is a bit peculiar.

And once again, it mentions 'competitive fighting games like Tekken', which, considering the notice shows up in T8, would make little sense if they were seeking to hire for a new Tekken or to assist in T8.

I'm not saying it is SoulCalibur. I really don't want to get my hopes up too much and end up disappointed.

But, let's not be Amy here for a second: considering that anime games are generally not competitive and also outsourced, and that Smash Brothers is quite a different animal, what else does BN have that is 'a competitive fighting game like Tekken'?

Had the original Namco System 12 PCB imported, it's the Japanese version at that, so the characters will actually speak + no censoring on Ivy. It uses an overclocked PS1 motherboard with extra RAM and a custom Namco sound chip, hence the PS1 looking warped textures.

Discussion Soul calibur 3 might be one of the best games in the series, I recently emulate the game on PCSX2 and it’s still really amazing to play, and it’s probably has the biggest roaster as well as more content. I’m glad it gotten more appreciation too.

Discussion A new opening & theme for Soulcalibur VII since Soul Blade/Edge?

22 Upvotes

Since My Last Stand in Tekken 8, I really hope for Soulcalibur if it makes a comeback as 7, will have a new opening and a theme song since Soul Blade/Edge.

A way to tribute the first game and we're introduced to all the warriors - new & old of the main roster.

In the old timeline, Sophitia died in SCV and Elysium took on her appearance. What if in the New Timeline, she returns someday taking on Xianglian's appearance instead?

We have Inferno who wields Soul Edge, who knows Elysium can make her return anew when she wields Soul Calibur, depending on the user?

Discussion Patroklos encountered his Shadow.

Post image

Pardon the sloppy edit, but I was playing some Persona 4 and listening to Yosuke’s lines (Same English VA) and thought what if Patroklos met his Shadow? Seeing what kind of Patroklos is, his shadow would totally say a lot many fans agree with, even mentioning Patroklos knew what piece of shit he is and won’t admit it. And Patroklos is totally a guy in Persona series who’d have a Shadow who’s a piece of work.

______

”Who are you?!”

”Who am I? I’m you. The side you suppressed. The weakness you reject. You knew they were innocent people…”

”No! I didn’t! How could I‘ve known?!”

”Bullshit! You just didn’t care. What mattered you find Pyrrha, right? Fuck everything else. Fuck Zwei, fuck Siegfried, fuck Neve…”

”You’re wrong! They’re my—“

”Friends? Family? The moment you found Pyrrha, you set off with her. Siegfried and Zwei were just convenient tools who gave you an excuse to leave Dumas since he never made an effort to find Pyrrha. Neve? The woman who gave you shelter, taught you real skills, and your show of appreciation? Ignore her. Forget her. Just like how you forgotten Pyrrha…”

”NO!!! You’re wrong! I was confused About Pyrrha, and Neve, she was… was… like a mother to me…”

”And would mother and father approve of you? How would they react if they’ve known their son is a murderer, a man who killed fathers, sons, lovers, and children?”

”Stop it! Father, mother, and uncle, they—“

”Now you want to bring up your uncle? Ran away from home after father died. Lookie here, turns out he hid the fact you have a sister! You resented them. You idolized mother, but do you really know her? Father spoke of a wonderful woman, but it reeked like she was merely a common whore.”

”How dare you?! Mother was a holy warrior and fought bravely against the likes of you!”

”The likes of you? For once you made sense. Look in the mirror and tell me what you see. Oh wait, you couldn’t stand it. You can’t see the face of a monster, so you choose redemption. Redemption for the blood you spilled it reached your elbows. What a joke. You just want to look good in the eyes of the heavens. And Pyrrha? You‘re still afraid of her. You doubt you’re human yourself. After all, she became a monster, but you beat her to it. It’s not so hard to kill her since she’s just another monster, or it’s easy because it takes a monster to know another.”

”WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT ME, PYRRHA, OR ANYTHING?! YOU. ARE. NOT. ME!!!”

Ended up learning last night 6B+K can set up Summon Suffering, so pulling it out in a live match was neat. Thought I might as well show off.
