I've tried all of them, put a decent amount of time into 5 on Vita and PS4 and played some of 6. I know 6 is panned compared to a lot of the series.
7 has a lot of potential.
Hoping for a new era of 3-D fighting games with Virtua Fighter 6 and this game, after so long of a period where Tekken was pretty much the only game in town. Bandai Namco needs the competition, especially as they figure out how to guide Tekken in a post-Harada era.
Yeah, I want SoulCalibur VII but Tekken is way more popular so Bandai Namco is slow to make another one.
I don't see SC coming out before 2028 because if it's in development it's probably still going to take a while.
Give me the jiggle physics!
I need NEW GENERATION insane graphics!!
I can't wait. One of my all time favorite franchises.
