Strange.

I stripped my game collection back and SC wise I'm left with Souledge/blade and SCII. I really didn't like 4 but gave this a look this weekend and it seems more of the same.

I just could not get into SC 4 & 5.

I tried. I really, really tried.

Absolutely loved the customization though. In fact, I think I spent more time playing dress up in SC V, than I did actually fighting.

SC still has the best 'flow' of any fighting game to me. Not a huge fan of the combo happy meter stuff but it's still SC in the end. A good match in SC hypes me up more than the 2D stuff.

Opposite for me. 2-D for life.

I dug SCV out and gave it a spin again. I think it's one of, maybe, 2 3D fighting games I really enjoy, the other being DOA. Think I'll be playing this for a while.

Is there any news, whatsoever, on SC VI? How long are the gaps between the games?

If they make SC VI, I hope character creator is back and better than SCV, even though SCV had a great one. I'm still making new characters, though that means deleting others.
If they have character creation in the next one, I think creating an Arcade route with your characters would be cool. Plus, I know it's pointless, but I'd like to assign themes and stages to my creations.

I use my creations much much more than the actual cast.

No news. Often three years between games.

Sorry I didn't join, Drak, I was running a session with Khuntry - and that was after a little SFxT marathon. But I'm glad you're back online.

It's fine. I'm only online because it's a free weekend. I may get gold if I get into it again.

Really can't get enough of character creation. I want the next SC to have an even bigger and better one. More character slots, more outfits, weapons, voice etc.
Still find it amusing that everyone has a US accent, even though the game is set something like 300 years before the US even existed. Would like non-US accents in the next one.

Before part three everything was in Japanese.

At least Japan was around at the time. I know it's a silly thing to point out given it's a game about a sword with an eye and all the impossible stuff that happens.

It's just 99% of my characters have Scots Gaelic names and are supposed to be Scottish. Then they do something and talk like Californians.
Even if the accents were DLC. Scots Voice pack. English Voice pack etc.

Stepping up my Seigfried game lately.
