Soulcalibur Lost Swords Beta Test Announced...

I'm not too concerned with elements from this game being a part of SoulCalibur VI (should that ever see the light of day). This just smacks of a F2P bandwagon cash grab, recycling existing assets.

As for the armor break, at least in this game it seems like it effects more than just aesthetics (item drops, possible armor stats effect). There was a slight damage bonus for striking unarmored areas in SCIV. Maybe that will apply here, too. [shrug]

Meh. I don't see myself playing this anyway…
 
Question... I'm trying to make a Japanese PSN but it's not working. I get up to the part where I put my e-mail and it says that I cannot make an account at this time or something. Any ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind I got it. Can't wait to play the beta.

LS re-introduces the armor break system from SC4 where you could destroy pieces of your opponent's clothes; although this time you must do a "Soul Break" move under certain conditions.

So instead of simply taking a powerful finisher at the end of a round to have your outfit broken, now it can almost be done whenever. Certain conditions or not, that sucks. What's the point of making something then? They need to remove the option altogether instead of making it a part of the mechanics.
Don't get hit? Hahaha maybe CaS players will improve as a result.
