SCV Live Character Creation Demo Archive

Having watched the Ustream and the CAS trailer, I discovered something interesting with the Body Menu in Character Customization just now...

First look at this image during the CAS video we saw on the 2nd:

Now look at this image of the Ustream:

Notice something missing in the Ustream? The facial paint! Incidentially, it's a woman being created in the second slide. Now despite previous screenshots showing a female creation, we got to see that there is an extra slot. In the video, we see options for faces and notice there are only eleven instead of the many variations for men's face. Why did they have those many faces? Facial hair! Why would a slot go missing? Because we will now be able to edit facial hair on men. Then again, this is just wishful thinking. In case you are wondering, this build's choice of facepaint is in the coloring menu.​

I am not sure what to think about the Create a Character at the moment. It appears that there are a lot of new things in terms of patterns and colour options. I really love how you can edit your eye whites, weapon effects, and add in patters to colour your costume/weapon. Speaking of EYE WHITES does anyone happen to know if you can edit things like eye type? Such as what kind of pupil you have or how big the eye is, for example cat eyes, toad eyes, DEMON EYES, stuff like that! ANYWAY! I dont really mind that the video didnt explore a whole lot of this because it was nice to just see it in action.
Some things that disappointed me were first of all that they recycled so much from SCIV. Another being no custom fighting styles for CaS characters. What annoyed me most was that they still lack face sliders or at least selecting individual parts for your face like in the Sims or even Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires. Lack of outfit options was also quite annoying from what I observed. In SC3 you had multiple layers for your outfits like an under armor, middle armor and over armor (including torso and leg options) which I really loved because it enabled you to do so much in terms of outfit customization. In SCIV I was so annoyed that they limited options to one layer. They also strangely fused the belts/faulds with pants! Good thing they fixed that in BD but it would still be nice if they actually had their own section. It would also be nice if you could edit things asymmetrically, but I dont know if they have that just yet (also what I mean there is it would be cool if you could make eyes different colours from one another, one shoulder pad on an arm or different shoulder pads per arm, that kind of thing). ANYWAY! enough of my complaining!
The main reason I am not raging about what I have seen so far is that this is most likely very early footage of CaS mode. Who knows what we may see in the final version. There could be huge changes done in the time that is left to CaS mode. I will stay hopeful and wait. If it turns out being the same I will be disappointed but at the same time I know that they have said themselves that there will be more Soul Calibur games after V so I can always just think "it will get better". DLC will also most likely help improve it. Anyway I just wanted to post my opinion on the video ^ ^ and the battles were fun to watch. OH YEA and sorry for my wall of text.

EDIT: Oh yea and I didnt notice if they had facial hair for male chars or not like posted up above : o hope that gets added in. I wanna make a viking Astaroth! with a beard that touches his stomach!

EDIT AGAAAIIN!: Oh yea and I am happy that they have more voices and voice options now! I hope they have more voices in the end ^ ^ I dont mind if there arent but its always nice to have a variety of voices for your CaS characters.

SORRY ANOTHER EDIT: I also enjoyed how you could use the main character's outfits 1P and 2P on CaS chars in BD. I hope they bring that back too, maybe even the parts from IV. Ugh I sound like I am asking for too much ^ ^ I'll just stop now.

actually all of these eyes are the same but with some curve changed I think that character with those kinds of eyes in a game with real face features are a totaly FAIL CHARACTER LIKE THIS ONE
