I’ve mostly seen a couple of Maxi’s and Nightmare’s, otherwise it’s been a mixed bag.
Netcode has been good most of the time, but there’s been a few bad matches.
Also noticed that most of the time if I win first match, people don’t wanna rematch. I rematch as much as I can though.

I’m over here blowing people up with Maxi. All wins so far
It takes a while to find people, but all of the matches I played so far ran well. Occasional hiccup with a guy but the netcode seems solid
If only searching for people was better
If it takes a few minutes with no opponents found, I usually cancel and re-search again. Sometimes that helps, for some reason.

I’m thinking most will be logging in this evening.
Hope you guys are enjoying it
Is the gameplay smooth/ stages brilliant etc replays
There’s no chat right?
I already played for a few hours (since it was 5pm the beta started for me), and so far I’ve absolutely LOVED it!
I can see on the sub-reddit that a lot of people have issues with getting matches.
The best thing is to put all options to “Any” and if you don’t get a match within 5 minutes or so, try cancel the search and try again.
I’ve had a few laggy matches, but nothing unplayable. Otherwise it’s been very smooth for me. It depends on both yours and your opponent’s connection if it will go smooth or not, so if your opponent has a bad connection, the match will get laggy.
As for the characters, I find Grøh and Geralt to be really fun. I really like Zasalamel and Tira as well.
Ivy feels VERY different, which isn’t necessarily bad, I just need to relearn her. She has some cool new moves though. She’s always changed from each game though, so that’s nothing new.
The two worst opponents I’ve played against are Mitsurugi and Nightmare. Both hit hard and are pretty fast, however, Nightmare players seem to spam the same few moves, so after noticing their patterns, it gets fairly easy to counter them with Guard Impacts.
Also fought an incredibly aggressive Sophitia player who owned me so hard, and it was the ONLY Sophitia I fought against. I was really taken aback how fast she could take me down the first match. We rematched and I found a few things that could counter her, but in the end she still owned my a-s-s! XD
I am so looking forward to the final release of this game. It’s beautiful, it’s fun, and it just feels good to play.

I got into the beta easily enough and had minimal trouble finding matches. I will say that stutter was present in probably half of the games out of about 2 hours of playing? It was present on my mind, but didn’t feel like it was terrible. Certainly not welcome, to be sure, but did not feel as bad as the DBFZ betas.
I’m going to try to play more over the weekend, but unfortunately for me, my controller has issues with the Y and B buttons not registering. And lo and behold, B is my guard button. So kinda got real old real fast of being able to block, then not being able to block. It’s weird to me too, i’d rather explore the game on my own rather than watch the probably numerous streams or read outlets on how characters function.
Okay so after having some experience in the game I do have a couple things to say.
Be careful when you fight
Talim, Yoshimitsu, Tira, ect. The ones that play them WILL spam certain moves when ever they are losing.
It’s very annoying. In the right hands Voldo can be extremely defensive in defense so be careful.
Looking forward to trying this out this weekend. Siegfried, Nightmare, Talim, and Geralt will be my primary focuses, most likely. Sieg/Nightmare were my mains throughout all of the games.
this game is looking great. so far the biggest disappointment of SCVI is whats gonna to Aeon?
Oh my god this sh is CRAZY!!!lol
I f I love it!
I don’t know how to play Soul Calibur and it makes me afraid to do my first match…
I spent 2 hours having fun getting my behind kicked with a half busted controller. If you just like fighting games and can get with a 3D fighter, i’m sure you’ll be fine.
With every fighting game your new to you will get stomped no questions asked.
Yeah it is a fun game. It does have its flaws but it is good.
The game is fine. I am TERRIBLY disappointed in the online performance. It’s flat out garbage and there is absolutely no excuse for this in 2018. 50% of matches are passable but with noticeable hitches. The other 50% are an unplayable mess. So disappointing.

It hasn’t been for me. I’ve found matches most of the time. But they did say that the features aren’t guaranteed to work 100% of the time. But I can see why your frustrated and I know where your coming from.
Maxi is like the coolest, stylish character in all of the game. I’m having so much fun. I know a bit of Maxi from the Soulcaliber games as well, so I’m bodying people 
Been playing Tira too.
But yeah. Netcode is worrying me. Why is this still a thing though? I mean, KI has amazing netcode. Why can’t other games have similar netcode? I’m just worried is all.
Many Japanese companies simply will not prioritize netcode. It’s not relevant for Japan so they don’t care. If their code is good enough to sync two Arcade cabinets sitting in the same room they think it’s good enough. And then they will be astonished that the game doesn’t sell that well and say “well I guess western audiences aren’t that interested.”
And SC VI is the best game in the series in a good long while. Bounds better than V. The gameplay feels great. The new systems are simple yet compelling and work very well. It’s smooth, and the character interactions feel like they make sense. So then when the whole things stops and stutters in the middle of an important and otherwise fluid interaction it’s SO AGGRAVATING.
If I seem to be overreacting it’s just cause the game is so ■■■■ close to amazing but if the online is like SF IV on a pretty good day in 2009 that doesn’t cut it. If Double Helix can do it, if Netherealm can do it and Skullgirls and even DOA and Virtua Fighter can do it then Namco should be able to.
