IV: What is sleep? VI: I love to sleep.

I can't be the only one happy with how much more serious they took Cassandra specials in sc6. She still the same loud mouth, energetic, spunky character we love but her fighting style is more serious now and less comic relief. I love it.

I like how SC4 has more of a darker ambiance. Everything in 6 is so vibrant and colorful.

Also we have to admit that Soul Calibur 4 had impressive graphics!! Great editing mister!!!!

damn. The graphic is still hella good in 4

I like how everyone in the fourth title is sleep deprived 0/

The lighting in 4 was a lot more dramatic. Not necessarily better, but more extreme, and that did lend itself to a certain aesthetic appeal I wouldn't mind coming back.

i like the style of 4 more. but the ultimates are way better in 6

I like both, but I really like the glossiness of SC4's hair and clothes. And I think the dramatic lighting & lack of sleep eyes actually fits the games aesthetic

SC4 is weirdly nostalgic now to me. Missed the old middle school days dueling with my friends all day with Nightmare

What an amazing work!!! I can see SC4 had an amazing engine for 2008. Shading is absolutely amazing. You can even see the swords projecting a shadow over on the character, which doesn't happen on 6. But character design on 6 is much .ore polished, as facial expressions and coloring. They all looked kinda vampires on SC4 hahaha. Thank you for this. Truly astonishing.

I like how Tira's Critical Finish was carried over into her move set. Lol

Sc4 still holds up today

3:39 Cassandra: "You like this kinda stuff?" *(Proceeds to sit on opponent's face)*

Nobody will talk about the wind effects of SC4? Nobody? Ok

Dunno if anyone else thinks this, but SCIV characters have huge eyes and large noses, and from the looks of it, they don't get enough sleep/lots of eyeshadow. Kudos to the people who put this video together perfectly!

I like how you can really see the age difference. Soul caliber 4 is the older characters

It's interesting how they've changed Amy's and Setsuka's stances! Especially Amy's- she doesn't hop around anymore, in SC6 it's like she's waiting for her opponent to make a move. SC6 Hwang's hand that's not holding his sword is now more angled downward, like he's going to get his talismans, which is a neat detail!

i like how sciv was pretty much the goth phase for the whole series lmao! godtier editing btw i love this video sm

The characters Eyes in 6 are much more expressive than 4. They looked like soulless zombies before.

"Righteousness is on my side!" *murders Talim in cold blood*

So you're telling me after all this time no one has told *Cassandra* that this isn't *DEAD OR ALIVE?* 💀

wow you even included hwang and went the extra mile! excellent video!

The games sure doesn't look 10 years apart (Makes you wonder how close it would be if you just put some higher res textures on the SC4 models). but it's a bit hard to compare directly since the light is quite weird, it's like strong twilight regardless of what time of day it is on the stage. It's a bit funny how most characters are almost the same as before with some wardrobe changes... and then Amy comes around with her new stance, new eye color and doesn't follow Raphaels moveset as closely anymore. (Was surprised that Hwang looks so different, but he still kept nearly the same stance).

Very detailed comparison compared to most I see. Very well done production value

I love this... I LOVE SOULCALIBUR SO MUCH 🥺😁💜💜 Really great work man!

Glad to see Cassandra back, she's always been my favorite!

i miss sc 4 so much

I Like Setsuka the Most . Elegant yet deadly . Been a main Since SC3 with her. Glad She's back in SC6

I remember telling my dad “there’s no way graphics can get any better than this” while playing iv.

Everyone took a nap between games

This is so well edited ! Thank you very much for this video !

To me, I feel like SCIV put a lot of effort into lighting and shading effects with the models; which is why it looks so good. It also adds a bit more realism.

Not only the "lightning and ambient" was better on IV but also the stages.

Good editing!

I really really wish Yun Seong was in SC6 :,( I miss him so much

i prefer the darkness and edgy style that SCIV has. it gave the game a darker feel. i love 6 but 4 gave the characters more of a presence on the stage. half of the time i find the lighting in 6 to make me lose focus on the fighters.

The character designs and critical finish are a hell of an improvement. Here's hopin for season 3.

I still want Nightmare and Siegfried armor and weapons from SC4 for SC6

I love a good quality comparison video like this one! Good job

This video made me realize they toned down the wind effect a lot from SC4 to 6. It made the stages feel more alive. Look at the way Seong-Mi-Na's hair swishes about!

I wish viola was in it. Loved how she fought with a crystal ball

Siegfried and Nightmare had the most badass designs in SC4 it's a shame that they were changed

I think SC 4 had a darker tone and some characters just flat out looked better. In SC 6 they rounded faces and changed looks a little too much. Mitsurugi's face looks so different along with others

10:10 his critical finish was banishing you to the shadow realm? 🤣🤣🤣

I like the faces in VI more because they look more realistic I'd say considering they're all warriors and fighters so it's obvious they'd look tired and a bit rough from all the fighting. Instead of the super clean and spotless face they got in the last one.

4 has aged like fine wine

Really well put together!!

I really like everyone's aged, sleepy eyed look in 4

I love SCVI’s new looks! All that’s left are Rock, Aeon and possibly Yun-seong. Wonder how they’ll be different than they were?

My man SC4 Siegfried (Prime Siegfried), is my favourite character within the whole serie, just look at the design of both armor and weapon, nostalgia is killing me 😭

The only thing I miss between this one and six is the engine they used for the hair because it looks plastic and it's annoying but everything else is fine

The fact that you had special guest chara designers for Soul 4 like Oh Great! and company was just the best. and what I miss the most with fighters is the fact that you had basically the base roster almost complete and not having to buy quasi infinite dlcs to have all the characters... Good old days...

I love Sophitia and Taki, i used to play soul calibur on the dream cast the controller was much to big for my fingers but I instantly fell in love with Sophitia i love her fighting style her backflip kick.

i can tell they put extra attention into making sure Ivy looked right for SCVI

Abs gorgeous games. I like how consistant the whole series is. Thery're very similar in presentation and style but you can clearly tell them apart when watching them like this. It's fantastic how well done SC4 is. It's so fluid and very well polished. Played it last evening with friends on the PS3 emulator and just WOW! Incredible! Very good videos you have here. Excellent comparisons! Edit - the lack of physics in SC6 is kinda sad. I mean, it's a 10 years newer but it doesent look thaaaat much different and some features arent even there.

I love how even spending so much time the SoulCalibur IV graphics keep up to date and I find myself turning on the PS3 to play it when I can because it's still impressive to me

Damn besides looking like some are straight up ports, some of the faces in the models look flatter or with less depth than the SCIV ones...and that's a PS3 game! I haven't checked the polygon counts of the models in Blender or something similar, but it looks like if you update the lighting effects and textures SC4 can easily look as good as SCIV...being 10 years older. That game really pushed graphics at the time, although I don't know if it ran at 60 fps like SCVI (And my girl Taki now looks less muscular and more lanky, but I guess that's more realistic for an actual agile ninja. I like her mask is back but I feel her SCIV armor pieces were perfect and insanely cool and the bodysuit color was more unique than a standard red)

SC IV design and theme is still the best one for me

Really nice compilation! 👏👏👏

Each character's movement is almost same with 4, but graphic effects and details have been improved a lot. Great!

In soul caliber 4 the moves truly felt like you were just ending your opponent In soul caliber 6 they look more like a special attack from mortal kombat

Wow Amy looks a lot better in 4.

Anyone else, while the Voldo side-by-side was on screen and he was just up there slowly wiggling for a few seconds, look over your shoulder to make sure nobody was watching you watch that? Also, why the hell is Hwang's new outfit like a gothic musketeer?

Looks like VI are styled more like the original. Have to admit I prefer a lot of the design choices in IV.

Cassandras “physics” looked too updated though

Me: Trying to observe the visual differences. Maxi: 21:00 “LOOK AT ME GO!”

Everyone in SCIV got into Ivy's mascara,lol. The lightning in SCIV hit the models really nice. I kinda miss it. The art direction has always been beautiful.

Please, someone find the song! 🎵 🎶 It's just a awesome remix, love the remix

A lot of the character face models look better in SCIV than SCVI, but the armor designs are generally better in SCVI. The graphical improvements are obvious, although the lighting and shading seems better in SCIV as someone else pointed out.

Siegfried's Soul Calibur IV Critical Finish is just, Holy Fuck...!

Am I crazy for thinking a lot of the costumes and hair straight up look better in Soul Calibur 4? Sure the textures are higher resolution and the models are higher fidelity, but there's something off about how flat the colours look.

I like sc4 clothing design more than sc6.

Good video,I like the older look more than the updated look for some these characters.

This is a very well crafted video

Doesn't matter what Ivy wears, she's still pretty in my eyes!

I dont want to sound like im complaining cause i am just very grateful to even get another Soul Calibur game i luv this series. But i have to say it feels as though there are very different teams at Namco who work on the SC and Tekken series of games. You can tell Tekken 7 just has much more money spent on it's development compared to SC6. The graphics and textures overall are better, and just more content and characters even. T7 got that Ghost Battle mode where you can just keep fighting opponents to work your rank up. In SC5 it's called Quick Battle same thing but this mode is missing in SC6. I just really wish they would add more modes like bring back a new version of Chronicles of the Sword, i loved that mode and used to play it loads on SC3. What they should be doing is bringing modes like this and just more classic customize items from the previous SC games, as DLC. Us fans would buy it! Cause we luv and want to support this game more and more!!

SC4 needs a rerelease with balancing. I personally feel like it was the last real SC before they simplified everything. SC4's biggest flaw was it was incomplete due to the natural disaster that Japan faced during development. I've played every entry in the series, except for the wii game. 2 and 4 will forever be my favorite entries. The soul still burns

That is the greatest awesome comparison!

Is it just me or Zasalamel has like the scariest looking weapon? (Besides Nightmare & Siegfried)

I like the darker atmosphere of 4 but the characters look better in 6. Combine the atmosphere of 4 and the character models in 6 and it would be the best looking SC game.

Unpopular Opinion: I genuinely prefer VI's aesthetics.

Just realized the track in the background around 16:00 - 17:30 was “like a glint of light”, the battle theme music for tethe’alla in Tales of Symphonia

I remember buying Soulcalibur IV for the PS3 back in 2008, before that I played soucalibur III heavily with tons of friends, we'd even have tournaments and such Seeing the graphics of SC4 in 2008, me and my friends were jizzing in our pants lmao

The lighting and shadow affect with extra detail to the hair and mouth look amazing in sc4. But some of the character rework I like in sc6

I low key prefer sc4

Cassandra got some nice physics...

Now if we could get Aeon in the game and someone at least mentioning Yun-Seong exists that would be great

SC4 graphics are still impressive.

I prefer IV to VI a lot. Honestly I was expecting VI to be a lot better than it actually was, especially considering how munch they are re-using a lot of animations

6 was seems the first game since 3 to give Tira her proper look

i like how zasalamel is just nazeem with a scythe

SC IV >>>

Honestly it's before and after the soul caliber we have now is why most of them in their youth for nightmare it was before sieg became free Sophia is being that cult slave not knowing that her husband is dead and now they're holding the children hostage. Ivy's was before the curse almost killed her and Valentine pretty much sacrificed its life so she could live. Rafael's conquest now coming to fruition those are just a few examples

The only thing I can say that Soul Calibur 4 has over 6 is that there seems to be wind physics that blow the hair and clothing of characters. But, it was probably removed because it caused clipping problems.

This is a high quality video all around.

Maxi almost gave me motion sickness.

sc4 is still the graphical goat. the attention to detail was its peak.

It’s like the American division was, -“so do we want to have these actors rehearse for quality assurance?” -“Does it matter?”

SC IV was way better imo. You could not spam finishers or some other weird techniques. Mastering a character took time and dedication. You dont have to pay for the original characters and the dark aesthetic its set in make it overall more enjoyable for me. Btw the eyes looking sleepless also look better and is perhaps more realistic for the circumstances these people live in. SC VI sure has prettier finishers and a graphical overhaul but it looks more cartoonish
