SoulCalibur VI dev team talk game balance and future updates

Update: The official English translation of the topics discussed on this stream are now up on the Bandai Namco EU website.

When it comes to transparency and being receptive to fan feedback, the team behind SoulCalibur VI have been pretty on the ball to all the comments they read on social media and in the player surveys. The entire balancing act between creating a Fighting game with a vision in mind and catering to the player communities is a difficult undertaking in itself which is what they were here to discuss on stream. Appearing live on the Dengeki YouTube channel this past evening was SoulCalibur VI's Producer Motohiro Okubo, the Director Masteru and the Battle Director Oosaka as they sit down and outline their current balancing philosophy and answer questions from the community. The stream was entirely done in Japanese but here are some quick notes from the presentation.

Soul Calibur 6 PC - Live Frame Data Overlay

Rejoice! We now have access to the data Bandai Namco doesn't want you to see. Scuffle has been hard at work taking the code used in the Tekken Bot Prime frame data overlay app and creating a specific version for use in the PC version of Soul Calibur 6. Of course, since this is the initial release of the app, there are bound to be some errors here and there but this is good news for finding frame data in SC6. To quickly mention, the overlay only works in Windowed or Borderless windowed mode like in Tekken Bot Prime so do take note. You can download the Live Frame Data Overlay app right now over on Github:
