SoulCalibur V Interview with Producer Tago-san

[Schneider-X]

SS now has Ivy normal Throw start animation.

If you look carefully when Ivy did that, her meter was used when she did it. So it may still have the standard SS animation when you don't use meter.

 

[ArcticKomodo]

Metre gained for blocking!!! Idle, y u no comment!

 

[Hawkeye]

A new glow type, unless they're character based.

Still, everybody loves purple!

I think the purple stuff is the new JUST FRAME color.. Wen IVY command throw was performed, the color popped up.

They still seem a little unsure about how to handle the meter. Sometimes they'll get meter for being hit, other times they won't. Also, does it seem like Mitsu gets meter for teching at about 1:17?

The lifebar flashing at 1:40 seems to indicate a guard crush of some sort, and also notice at about 1:33 that Ivy's lifebar changed colors after dropping below a certain point. I don't remember there being anything like this in past SCs, but I could be wrong.

 

[Malice]

The color of the lifebar changing when someone is on low health is something new to me. The lifebar flashing yellow looks like some form of guard break. They're probably still trying to figure out what to do with the Critical Edge meter.

I need to see more.
