Are you getting Soul Calibur 6 or Dead or Alive 6 (or both/neither)?

DOA has always been a fun, over the top, campy fighter that has been very approachable in its systems. DOA6 seems to pivoting to a more serious, darker game. They want to avoid criticism of the game's fanservice, so I feel like they're overcompensating too much and changing the type of game it is.

Whenever the game bombs so hard, they're pivot back to where their fans are and apologize.

No No. They specifically acknowledged what you just said in your first sentence, and they would not be moving away from that tone. Nothing about the DoA6 trailer points to it being more serious/darker. I am still not clear on what that issues are with the game.  They have not done anything but give the females realistic cup sizes!

I don't know how you watch gameplay and not see how it looks different. The weird slo-mo closeups of the character's face getting beaten and the blood effects are certainly new. It looks like they wanted to make DOA closer to something like Mortal Kombat without the finishers.
