Rented it from Redbox. Meh, it's alright. Beat the story in like 2 hours. I'll just buy it used in a month or two.

You know you play fighting games against people, right?

Not I.

UGH. What the hell did they do to the story mode in this version? Liked the SC II-IV style story mode a ton better.

Best story mode was SC3, easily.

Yeah, I totally agree with you on that 110%, dude.

They don't even have endings in Arcade mode. MK FTW

How's the combat to you? I assure you it's better than MK. Then again, what you want out of fighting games is what you want. I just think you're 'missing the point' of the genre. To me it's like somebody playing an RPG straight through, ignoring side-quests, ignoring exploration, doing the main story as linear as possible and beating the game with bare minimum abilities/character level and saying, "That's it, I'm done with it." It just comes off as strange to me.

If you abandon SCV after merely playing the story/arcade mode, and this I say for all fighting games, then you have not given the game fair chance to impress you.

#2cents

Combat is fun and I like the super moves, but I still have SC4 and that suits me just fine.

I suppose that's fine.

I still have never really got into that "tower" mode in SC4. Gonna do more of it.

Your run of the mill survival mode. Never that interested in it.

Did the story mode earlier. Still have empty character slots... hmm.

Anyone thinks it's strange how most A+K inputs were removed? Was that for pad player's sake? I always had it on L trigger (since SC1). Now I don't know what to do with LT, maybe A+B or B+K. Feels so strange making that kind of change after over a decade.

Yeah, that shit is infuriating. Outside of Maxi and Astaroth, I noticed a lot of characters just don't have those buttons mapped like that anymore. I lay my buttons out a bit like in the arcade just so I can pull A+K moves off easily.

Voldo and Yoshi have A+K moves. Probably just a coincidence tho.

Gonna buy this on thursday.

Holy shit snacks

Well, there goes my controller. Stupid, bullshitting, Devil Jin, no-sleep, spamjaculating, faggots.

lol

I mean shit I'll be the first to admit I'm bad at fighting games but when I figure it out and get good, then run into a bunch of dicks who diligently sit there and learn to keep bad players like me on the floor without a chance, it's fucking bullshit. And I've even gotten great at being a bitch with Xiba. I mean I'm sorry I have a social life/don't get paid to sit on my ass and play all day/didn't grow up in an arcade, but there comes a point where a gamer like me (excels across all(most) genre's) can sense faggotry. And this may be the epitome of it.


Or else I'm just throwin a fit.....

It's one of the two, but they see the same results. Faggotry

I wish severe carpal tunnel on the wrists of these troglodytical, mouth-breathing, fuck tards. I will not rest until my dick has full carnal knowledge of their virtual asses. /rage

It can be frustrating but MvC3 is 100 times worse.

Learn. The counter-hit. Combos.

And play the range, very important in this game.

Xiba is good for mix-ups, stick with him.

Yea, I'm just slowly learning more moves as I go. I've known the double-whirl and the running Y,Y,Y combo for a while. Learned the Y,B,bRT for the Break achievement, just recently discovered the wonders of his Y+B stick stall moves and the jabs and the backwards tailfuck. But I keep finding more and more shit that I don't do know. Like some of the low kick combos and shit. Plus I'm trying to diversify but the only one I know more about is Ezio but I'm too slow with him.

On a sidenote I just made Faith(Mirror's Edge) today and gave her Natsu's style so I wanna learn more of that. Especially that multi-flip Liontamer. LOVE IT

Thankfully I'm almost done with the online bullshittery. Just got the 50 wins, all I need to do is rank up to D1 and I'm like 6 wins from that. Then it's the fucking quick battles.

Also, any fast way to do the "100 Impacts" and "KO 25x after a quick move"?

Another thing, while playing with Xiba, I ran into Harada TEKKEN, and Xiba and I are kinda in tune with our vocabulary.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harada TEKKEN was a bitch to beat. The epitome of bullshit with the never ending uppercut combos. Made him pay with my Maxi-style CAS, tho. When I'm on my game, I'm vicious

I really like how they give you tips for every move and combo in training mode. Very helpful.

No story or endings for most of the characters is lazy. Even worse, Sophitia's kids might be the most unlikeable characters ever. Who thought it was a good idea for the main character to be a whiney douchebag who goes around murdering poor people?

Gonna spend some time unlocking CAS parts and experimenting with the roster, and then maybe I'll join you guys. Though by then SFxT will be out so I dunno.

Yeah, you can't go making SoulCalibur 3's story modes and then push this (lack of) crap on us. Def hate Patroklos as a character. He never even redeems himself. He's just a fucking ass the entire time.

Fighting Soul Calibur was kinda epic, though. The only time it manifested itself as Soul Edge did a few times before. I do agree Pat never actually gets his comeuppance, which is very important to me as a writer and viewer. I never feel good when characters do certain wrongs and 'get away with it' or don't 'get theirs' enough. He just sorta killed innocent people and then... finds his lost family. By comparison - Seig, who actually had a pretty good excuse, gave himself shit through 3 and 4 about what he did as Nightmare. I'm talking nearly ten years of guilt. Pat just waves it off. It's something I would have put more emphasis on.

And the sister? She also murdered people but when you're raised by Tira I suppose you get a 'troubled childhood' pass. Her character just didn't fit the bill, though. She should have been more divided, like at times she would like to kill. It's hard to believe she did what she did completely out of duress and parental pressure, that just makes her come off as an idiot. Her "I don't wanna die" floor stab is hilarious, though.

I would have liked to see a swerve with Pat getting Soul Edge and Phyra getting Soul Calibur.

I dunno if any of you have seen this, but the CAF looks awesome with some of the things you can do and make...

I think a lot of them come from this link.

And it seems like it updates every hour too

Let's have a lobby ffs. More of us have this than I thought.

I might be getting it by the time SFXT comes out

At that point you not have to worry too much about SCV lobbies.

So I just figured out how to beat him and realized I've been using the easiest character to beat him with as well. Anytime he comes at you (bro), just hit Back+Y. Throws that fucking stick down his gullet every time. Wooooooooo

I'm updated on all DLC, included the just released Dem Pierre dude. Don't need the music - custom soundtracks.
