Prestoff 09/28/22 2:04:05 PM #35:	As someone who is heavily kept up with SC, because it's one of my favorite fighting game series ever, SC6 was suppose to have a Season 3 of DLC's with Aeon (lizardman) datamined to be the next DLC character with an un-announced guest character and a bunch of cosmetics. Unfortunately, Covid happened right in the middle of the project and comparing sales numbers to the playerbase that was left (it wasn't much because SC6 netcode was ass), it would've been too expensive and not feasible hence why it only got 2 seasons of DLC. epik_fail1 posted... Them ignoring Nintendo console feels so weird to me since I know so many people who played it for the first time when they saw Link in SC2 That is because for some reason, at the time, they were primarily only looking at the Japanese market which they found more Japanese bought the game on the PS2 (more of them owned PS2's, as well as the majority of the FGC) as oppose to the western market where the majority of them bought it on the GC (because of Link). SC3 wanted to do something different, hence the character creation that would end up using most of their budget, which meant they couldn't port it to 3 other systems like they did in SC2. As you can see, it bit them in the ass because it didn't sell nearly as well as SC2 did. Tyranthraxus posted...

In an attempt to be taken more seriously, they aggressively toned down the T&A, but that pissed off the actual DOA fanbase. So they put the T&A back in behind an absurd amount of paywalls and micro transactions, implemented even more micro transactions, and continued to tone down the overall absurdity.

Then SC3 and SC4 never came to Nintendo systems (I did try that one spin-off game on the Wii that had Lloyd from Tales Of Symphonia as a guest character) and I finally bought an Xbox 360 after that so I got back into the series with SC5.

Although I went from 2 to 5 since although I owned a PS2, I never got the chance to play 3 and 4 as a kid. Started with Link, but then main'd Taki.

At least Taki had a successor in SC5 with a similar fighting style, Natsu. My main in SC2 (aside from Link) was Talim, and she didn't even get that much. I actually ended up maining Ezio of all people (despite never playing or having any desire to play an Assassin's Creed game) in SC5. Ezio's moveset felt like a mix between Talim's speedy close-range attacks and Link's projectiles to mix up the tempo, so he was perfect for me. I also played with Nightmare and Raphael a lot in both games as secondaries, and a lot of my created characters in SC5 used those styles since you couldn't give a created character Ezio's style through normal means. Had to use an external save editor for that. --- https://i.imgur.com/Gr3UqL6.jpg <cite>Calwings posted [p:968358373] in Is Soul Ca...
