Oh no, I don't want to, are you?Only if you're posting threads about how much you hate SCV.

F**k Slytherin! Ravenclaw FTW!!Remove the casual forum and you'll start seeing garbage threads popping up in the SCV multi forum and the SAs. It's like slytherin house, we keep all the bad apples in one place for easier manageability.
Unfortunately, that seems to be the problem around here. It's like Crips vs. Bloods, but on the internet.Preach! This casual vs pro mentality is so unnecessary.
My first time here actually began with an argument. No surprise who was on the other end....Yes i noticed a lot of newcomers were discouraged. then when rich announced SCV. i started to change the mood and commit.....just saying
The is now a casual vs competitive thread. Sorry Idle.
I remember when I joined the site I didn't go around acting like I knew what the fuck was going on and disrespecting the older players. I asked questions if I didn't know something and if I posted something that was wrong and someone corrected me I thanked them instead of getting defensive.
I didn't come here acting like a scrub and I wasn't treated like one.
Generally, if you're full of shit on 8wayrun and making tons of statements with no evidence to back it up, someone will correct you. Its cool to be assholes to those people. Theres nothing worse then someone who considers their opinion fact and above all else. The problem arises for me when people are told that their opinions aren't as valid because they don't play competitively. While this is true in some cases, (why should a casual have a say in balance discussions as opposed to a pro that plays for money?) it isn't always.
And this Casual player vs Competitive player mentality is nonsense. Were not fucking gang members. Were a community of people that enjoy an amazing fighting game franchise.
what is love?
Prove to me you're not biased and do a write-up on sc5's flaws.
That was 4 pages ago. Still waiting for an honest, objective critique. Since you obviously know so much about SC, why not include sc5? Your omission to this says a lot about biases.
What's the opposite of nostalgia? You know, constantly feeling like the newer is always better, when it might not necessarily be?
Ah so we're going to go with the sarcastic route. Plus you're assuming that I'm an overall negative person and am discouraging new people from coming here. I'm not helpful? First off check my history. I have no problems with new people joining the community and contributing in their own way. As long as it's done right. Look I'm not some elitist old school calibur head that you all like to say is out there. In fact you could say I'm one of the better known people on this forum but not due to my skill in this game (I'm trash), not because of all of my "golden contributions" to my respective SA (I don't know shit), and not because I'm some online celebrity who runs some sort of popular stream show (I fucking hate computers). But I can tell you what I have done. I personally dragged Hawkeye into this community during our SC4 XBL days. I was there welcoming some of our newer guys like Xeph, Partisan, Heaton, Sephalump, and Ringout.
Really I can go on about what I've contributed personally to this community but I'm not trying to pat myself on the back. What I am trying to do is maybe help those who want to contribute to this forum. Because as I've said I'm an idiot at this game. BUT, I'm a HUGE fan. And one of the things that I've done while not coming off as an uninformed idiot was ask questions. I know I don't have much to contribute due to my lack of knowledge. I know that when it comes to how to play this game/series correctly these are the guys to learn from. I know that when I have an opinion on this game/series that when I express it I don't present it as concrete fact. I leave it open ended for discussion so maybe something I've missed could be explained to me and then we can openly communicate on what could be changed for the better. But overall you have these people who haven't put in the time or gained any kind of respect coming in and saying the biggest pile of bullshit over and over again and then wanna argue if they're corrected. Or they come in spouting off some negative opinion and using terms like "the real soul calibur" that really everyone just rolls their eyes at. It does nothing but to contribute to the strife and disharmony in these forums. So all I'm asking is if you're a newer guy and want to contribute, ask some questions at first. See what the overall consensus is on whatever subject you're trying to form an opinion on and whether you agree or disagree go from there. If you disagree state why and ask why the consensus is different from what you feel the point is. I know this won't ever be the case. As everyone has a chip on their shoulders on wants to be right all the goddamn time but hey a man can dream huh?
And you saying "you don't play it" means that it should be removed? Not the best reason.
The feature being "gimmicky" isn't the best reason either. In fact, that is the worst because Soul Calibur has always been gimmicky. The guest characters are proof of that. The only game I would say that it isn't gimmicky is Soul Blade, because that was their first installment, released when everything about fighting games in gameplay was not established yet.
Unless you technically don't count Yoshimitsu. That sure brought some Yoshi fans in.No, i say that mainly because it is ripped from SF, that is the main reason why it shouldn´t be in SoulCalibur(CE´s).
Many people played SC for what it is, and they didn´t want a 3D SF-esque like game with Weapons.
And btw, if anything, then SC(1) isn´t a gimmicky SC either when it comes to your definiton since there weren´t guest chars either.
The point of this thread was to shatter the myth that older SC were "better". I get that. All I'm saying is that you need to look at sc5's issues side by side with the other games to really get a fair perspective. Like I said before, the fact that you refuse to even acknowledge sc5's flaws scream bias.I don't think you understand the point of this thread at all.
