A great day, in addition to finishing most of my Libra of Souls grinding on the game. Curious as to how she'll appear in that and how her Soul Chronicles chapter will turn out. If Geralt can be canonized within the lore, so can she.
On another note, going through arcade mode as Inferno after you unlock him, even on the initial highest difficulty... Overpowered incarnate.
Just spam forward Y/triangle followed by up Y/triangle, and the AI will feel your unrelenting barrage of cheapness. To think some were lamenting at first that Inferno couldn't be used online, whose basically Nightmare without any of the speed impediments along with some additional attacks.
Speaking of cheap bosses, I hated the boss form of Azwel in Libra of Souls, who took me the longest to beat at first. Far from the worst the series has had or anything, but still pretty cheap, though I guess becomes as easy as most other fights once you get a better weapon to upgrade along with a food consumable to compensate like permanent soul charge. Oof.
Reminds me, Soul Caliber 4 was the last game where you can make really big characters. SC5 made all custom characters teenagers, you couldn't give them big curves and breasts, or make a 6'6" muscle bound hunk. On top of that, Ivy was forced to wear a bra
Now that 2B is finally out, can say I dig her quick combo-y playstyle. Like all her clothing options you can put on custom characters as well. A little disappointing that she has no story in Soul Chronicles though, especially when disc-locked Tira had one. With what they showed in the trailer with Ivy living as long to the point robots rule the world was an interesting concept and they went nowhere with that for a short story chapter? Oh well I guess.
Oh yeah, the last couple DLC characters are leaked/rumored to be Cassandra and Amy, which I'm okay with and were fairly expected, but if that's all and no Algol or anyone else... Meh.
Still happy with 2B nonetheless. The fighter pass is worth it for her alone IMO.
Algol was at least mentioned by Zasalamel toward the end of Libra of Souls mode in 6, and Zas fears him. I think Algol's return in this altered timeline is just a matter of when, though will have to see as to whether he's DLC for this game or something.
