Takes a while to understand the meta-game, especially if you're coming off 2D fighters. This has a lot more freedom than 2D games, and more decision making per turn.

Have you found a character to stick to yet?

I seem to be doing better with Patrokolos and Astoroth styles.

That was a good session I had with Kalyx. I thought I'd have done better as Astaroth but I sucked for some reason. I thought I did quiet well using Devil Jins style, surpringly. I'm assuming I was playing against someone else when I won as Toad, given they skipped the match opening and everything when you usually let it play out.

So, how about that Voldo outfit?:naughty:

I've still got some characters/outfits I've never gotten to use online.

That was me against your Toad, but I was slightly occupied with conversation during the match. My roommate found your Toad very amusing.

The Voldo alt was... disturbing.

I think you seen all of my characters. Many of them Maxi clones, with Kiana being my favorite. Her Power Ranger suit is my fave. Oriah (bad) is my surrogate daughter for Nightmare, I suck with Oriah (good). Ericho is my go-to Nightmare clone, and also one of my first characters. He actually has a brother, Orin, who uses Seigfried's style. Not to good with it, yet, as you can see with Oriah (good). MC.1182 is one of my robots. I made 1183 and 1184 models. The Natsu clone Evil Jazz and the Nightmare clone Kalyx are based on likenesses of me and her.

There will be more Power Rangers, and Khuntry has a few with design changes I may add to mine.

That reminds me of the time I finally beat Khuntry and felt pretty pleased with myself, only to hear someone say "Lol, the lag is ridiculous!" like that was why I won :(. I saw no sign of lag during that session, back then, btw.

I'm glad someone likes my Toad character, I was just screwing around with the turtle shell and realised it would make a good Toad head. If only they had polka dot patterns rather than the strawberry pattern.


That's what I was going for. I noticed you couldn't use female clothing on male characters except for that one barmaid boob tube thing.
It gets even more disturbing when he goes upside down and you see he's wearing a "hot pink" thong under the skirt. Or when he does that "crab stance" when he bends backwards, you flip him over onto his stomach and he starts slowly gyrating towards or away from his opponent, growling, with his butt in the air.

"Deliciously Bizzare" isn't just a user title. If a silly alt costume in a game was disturbing, you really don't want to get into my brain.

I've made other alts for other characters which are a bit more "normal". You saw my 1970's Astaroth, which works twice as well when he keeps talking about "Soul".
I made an alt for Ivy which is an "Otaku girl" look. Braided ponytail, cat ears, thick rim glasses, pink anime shirt etc.
Akuma for Algol, Santa for Edge Master and a cute "babysitter" look for Leixia.

I only have 3 slots left for characters so I might have to delete some of the lesser ones. 4 slots are taken up by my nephews fully green, squeeky characters.
I can't really think of anyone that isn't orginial, like Power Rangers. Whenever I try to make someone there is always a big peice of an outfit missing. Like I tried to make Link and I couldn't give him sleeves and his little skirt/shirt thing. When I gave him his tunic, I couldn't give him a belt because the lower half would vanish etc.
The Mario Bros hats aren't in the game and we have so little customisation over faces that I couldn't have given them a passable face anyway, especially as we can't customise facial hair.

I have 11 non-original characters, one being me, one being my brother and one being my cat (just to give someone the fish sword Patroklos has).
Everyone else is an original. Mostly based on a world I built around the Drakul characters in the past. Morfran being a sort of nemesis to him and another Voldo character called Ghalar (Gaelic for "Disease") being a sort of right hand man to Morfran. I always envisioned him in a black cloak and a plague doctor mask. Hence the name meaning "disease". So I was surprised to see SCV had the mask available.
Other characters are knights and such. I was pleased when I first got the game and saw a couple of the stages fit the little story I had thought up when I was in my mid to late teens. Burning battlefeild, night battlefield, forest and castle under attack from monsters.

Besides Drakul characters, I usually just made light hearted characters like that Valentino character, a chef or the little girl with the floral club.

I did make a non-original character only a Scottish person would recognise.
Oor Wullie (translated to "Our William"). If you grew up in Scotland in the last 100 years, you grew up with Oor Wullie and The Broons, another comic strip by the same guy.

Cue music video no one will watch more than a second of, max:

I gave him Pyrrhas style to give him her rolling pin and basket weapons. I tried to make the basket look like his trademark bucket as best as I could. The only down side being he does girly win poses, which I guess is ok because he's only supposed to be something like 8 years old. So it could look just more childish than girly.

Nice to see somebody who takes this mode as seriously as me. I live in that mode.

It was actually what made me want to buy the game in the first place. If I wanted just to fight, I'd have stuck with XBLA SoulCalibur, I downloaded years ago.

According to stats, you've spent 27 hours in creation and I'm only 23. Yet, I have 54 creations and you have 31. So you spend longer on each character?

The game needs knee/arm pads. I made a WWE wrestler and it doesn't look right without pads.
I thought I could use the turtle shell but moving it around is weird. "Back" makes it go left etc.

I do spend more time on a character then make a bunch of separate ones. I also like to erase old designs or update them, without simply copying or making a new character. Bear in mind my friends also have characters so my own number of characters/alts is a bit smaller than that.

I'm not one for updating. Once I finish a character, that's usually it unless I notice a mistake or something that really doesn't work.

All but 4 of my characters are mine and I helped out with those other 4.

I really like seeing other peoples characters. I'd have liked a gallery mode to check out the creations of people on your friend list.

I just finished another videogame character and he doesn't feel finished. I think it's because we can't edit the face and that's a pretty big part of anyones appearance, real or fictional.
It's even worse when the character is supposed to have a really unique face and you have to settle for a premade one.

DLC fighting styles and weapons would be cool.

Possible Remaining DLC Pieces:



Some great parts in there. Hope we don't have to wait too long.

Maybe a month?

Giving us Tekken outfits seems pointless when everyone ends up having Devil Jins moves. Some DLC styles would be excellent.

The point is style. Very cool style.

Latest replay is pretty swell.

Well on my way getting back on 60% ranked. Should have never stopped.

Is anyone playing this? Drakul? Hasn't even posted in 2 months.

I might get rid of it, I don't really care.

I played this all the time in Miami but where I am now it's kind difficult to be online. Your late-ass missed the action. Be gone with you!

I'm open to SCV, whenever I'm online.

I've made some new characters and edits to old ones. Gonna just start taking crappy pics and putting them here. Kiana has some new duds that I quite enjoy, her little sister Milani as well. I also have a new Seigfried-clone named Alaster who's stylishly par for the course for me (black coated swordsman) but I'm still fond of him. Made a younger version of him before his sword 'awakened'. I have two Mitsu-clones; Ian my Blue Ranger (I think you seen him) who now has a civilian alt, and Kara my female samurai who's back from SC4.

Of course this means I've been playing some Mitsu and Seig, both are coming off well. Mitsu-clones are ready for Ranked but Seig needs some work.

Old footage with Khuntry's earlier skills with Mitsu. I found it searching us in fighting game footage.

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.
