Soul Calibur IV, I am your New Challenger!

[ASR]

See? Told you!

[Slugkid]

Funny. I was born on 1995. ZOMG INCARNATION.


...No.

Now while I was thinking of starting a new thread for SV IV since their already was one I thought I'd post here.

Now it's just about a month left until the game's release and the trailers for the game have been coming out.

As much as I felt it was odd for the Star Wars characters to be in the game they do seem to have been balanced enough thanks to how the Force has been oncorporated in the game.

Also the idea that you can damage your opponents armor somehow and make it last the fight looks fun as hell.

[Mikero]

You know what else looked fun as hell? Soul Calibur III.

Yeah. Exactly.

[Johncarllos]

Soul Calibur 2.

[Mikero]

Soul Calibur 2 was great. 3 was trash.

[Johncarllos]

You know what else looked fun as hell? Soul Calibur III.

Yeah. Exactly.

I had misread it.
Regardless, SC2 is great and I still have it for the 'Cube.

[SacredFireman]

You know what else looked fun as hell? Soul Calibur III.

Yeah. Exactly.

...It wasn't? It seemed much better than II.

[Johncarllos]

It SEEEEEEMED much better.
They just threw a bunch of stuff into it and said it was better.
II was more balanced and controlled better.

[Mikero]

Character creation was a good idea implemented horribly. Actually, my friend forgot to give me his PS2 memory card when he lent me the PS2 (which I have sketchily rigged to work with old iBook parts) so when he gave it to me he gave it to me in the SC3 case, so I guess I'm borrowing that too. Might have to try it again.

I have to take that back a bit. I just popped in Soul Calibur III on PS2 today (friend lent it, with the rest of that stuff) and I'm playing it a bit right now. I've successfully created a DAMN good looking Mikero twice (one as a ninja, and one as a monk, because ninjas don't have the option to use nunchucks in it so I need both a swords & shuriken version and a nunchuck version) and I've been playing on free practice with him/them. And he is sweeeeet.

But I remember it being worse than this when it came out (last time I played), so maybe a lot of stuff was unlocked. I also remember what you could do with created characters wasn't all that hot, so maybe that's it. I'll re-explore the game. The character creation is well made, but if you can't really use them well then it's no so hot.

Unrelated to Soul Calibur, there's a CastleVania game that looks and plays like Soul Calibur coming out for Wii only called CastleVania Judgement.

Supposed to have online, and a bunch of characters from all of the games...

Looks good, actually.

...

Didn't want to make a new topic about it. <_<

[preventerWIND]

It's going to be terrible me thinks. The characters look like something out of kingdom hearts, especially Alucard. The game is a good idea, but its going to be a let down IMO.

[Mikero]

Sounds weird.

Just made Mikero a third time in SC3 so I could play the Chronicles of the Sword stuff. Good thing I wrote down how to make him before hand.

Couldn't look much more like Soul Calibur!

[Mikero]

UHG.

[preventerWIND]

This game is a miserable little pile of secrets.. I mean #####.

[Johncarllos]

Icky.

[Dizzy]

Truely a sad day for a great series.  ;.;

[Fatso]

And to think that until now I'd thought of Konami as a real class act in terms of keeping their ##### together over the years. Sigh.

Of course, I'm totally ignoring CV64 and all the PS2 games.

[Edgecrusher]

Best Soul Calibur so far.

[Snare]

I've only played Soul Calibur at my friend's house once. But yesterday my brother picked this one up and now I'm hooked!

I FIGHT WITH A PRINCESS

[Johncarllos]

I have yet to play it.
I really want to.

I wish it was on Wii.....

[SacredFireman]

I...I...how...How could a game be made so badly? The endings were awful, character customization feels way more complicated than it should and overall the entire games design and structure feels warped. I was ho hopeful.

[Johncarllos]

But the gameplay, THE GAMEPLAY!

How is it?

[SacredFireman]

Meh. It's nice. But god, the internet players are cheap.

[Snare]

Yeah, it's really a button masher in the purest sense...And really unbalanced. But I still get a jolly out of it.

[Mikero]

Weird. I've only heard good things until now.

[Snare]

I really like it though! I especially like giving a custom male character Ivy's moveset...

HIP CRUSH

[Mikero]

My friend has it and says it's good, I'll try it on his. Same friend who'd lent me his PS2 with SC3, actually.
