Kayane's Video Interview with Tago-san!

Info corner

Daishi was a SC1 playa and others on Project Soul (or Namco) have been playin SC since then.

Many of us at 8WR have been playin the game many years and are still lovin it (and haven't gotten bored).

Doin what you love may just add fuel to the fire.

Workin long hours and doin OT (overtime) is usual in Japan (in many fields).

I think the playas are involved in this game A LOT more than they/we have in the past-
There have been many interviews where we actually could ask Qs and get answers (Kayane has had 2 already).
And the constant Twitter (believe me the JP playas are also grillin em- I've seen Qs from our own oosaka and Sousuhi (both SBO playas)).
Namco didn't do anything like that for the other SC games.

It's not like anyone really counts the competitive results in the first month anyways due to the impossible hurdle of "character/gimmick" ignorance... so that doesn't much matter.

Hey hey hey... I resent that.

:P

there is no way they are gonna design 12 new characters and have them balanced by summer next year, let alone all the old characters that they will need to tweak. the game is either gonna get delayed or we're gonna get rushed half-hearted attempts at character design and balance.

calling it now: game is gonna be in a horrible state at launch, because namco is going to put game balance on the backburner and rely on post launch patching to get the job done

I was actually pondering about this very thing the other day. How complete will the game be at launch? But it actually might be more complete then we assume. They've suggested that they already know what cast they are working with for the most part. So there actually may be quite a few characters we haven't seen who are fully designed. With returning characters they seem to be starting from the SC4 iteration and then editing from there. This shaves off a ton of time.

We're only getting a little bit at a time but there is probably a lot going on that we haven't seen yet. They are probably only showing us what is the most solid right now. Like even if they haven't created new designs for some of the returning cast they may have already started working on their move list. This is just my speculation.

They may have been workin on this game before we even knew about it.

And over here the playas thought the startin point would be BD/SCIV.
