Voldo time! Some call him unique, some call him innovative... I call him creepy.

But to each his own, I suppose. Enkindu was kind enough to come on and talk some strats and stuff. I don't really have anything witty for this description. Sorry. Enjoy nevertheless!

Top Player, Richard "WingZero" Warren Passes Away at 27

  • 27,172
  • 41
Yesterday, the Soulcalibur community, and the FGC lost one of their own. Larry "ShinBlanka" Dixon recently reported on Facebook that WingZero died of natural causes early yesterday morning; he was 27. WingZero has been a member of the Atlanta Fighting Game Community for many years; but he exploded onto the zeitgeist of the Soulcalibur community when he got second place at NEC in 2005.
Larry "ShinBlank" Dixon said:
The FGC is in mourning of a great player and even better person, as Richard Warren “WingZero” has passed away today due to natural causes. He was a part of the Elite Tekken and Soul Calibur crew in Atlanta (East Point Dojo/crib), and was for years known as the best Nina (Tekken 4, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, Tekken 6, and Tekken Tag Tournament 2) in America as well as one of the top Soul Calibur players in the world.

Richard was such a humble person, to be so good at his craft, and he was willing to help anyone that was willing to learn the games he mastered. He good nature and positive outlook on gaming was a breath of fresh air. His presence as a gamer, but more importantly as a person, will be missed in the Georgia FGC. A moment of silence for my dude Richard Warren AKA “WingZero”. God bless your family as our thoughts and prayers will be with you and those you love. We’ll see you in that East Point dojo in the sky!

RIP homie!
WingZero has since placed at many tournaments, including Final Round and multiple different Major League Gaming events. Its always sad when the FGC loses a life; even more tragic when they are so young. Feel free to leave your condolences and share your stories with those he left behind.

Weekly Famitsu Reveals Soulcalibur: Lost Swords

So if you guys remember, back in July, Namco-Bandai registered a trademark for "Soulcalibur: Lost Swords". A week later, they wrapped up their Comic-con panel, and revealed absolutely nothing about the upcoming title. Well as of this week, the title has been officially revealed in Weekly Famitsu.

According to Gematsu, Soulcalibur: Lost Swords will be a Playstation 3 exclusive free-to-play game in the vein of Tekken Revolution. If its similar to their other F2P titles, the game will be "time-limited" where players must purchase tokens in order to continue playing the game beyond its initial demo hours. Not much more is known about the title, but it will most likely be a slightly modified version of Soulcalibur V.

Fencers unite! It is time to talk a little vampiric swordsman strats, which I know some people have been desperately wanting. Well, I'm gonna give you far more than I think you really wanted.

Heaton, who is quickly running away with the Most SoulCast Appearances award, was kind enough to come on and pretty much give a move-by-move rundown of this character. Also, he provided a Google Docs link to his notes for each move, so you lazy buttholes don't even have to write anything down! In addition to that, Jimbo, who plays a different style of Raph than Heaton, gave us an awesome write-up on his perspective of Raphael. TLDR: I spoil you guys.

Spawn and Heihachi Going Multi-Platform for SC2HD!

So we already know that Soulcalibur 2 will be coming to PSN and XBL in a few months; but we never knew the state of the guest characters from that series. On the Playstation 2, we had Heihachi, on the Xbox we had Spawn; and both consoles had Necrid. Would the same be for PSN and XBL? Would these characters remain as console exclusives?

Well according to a report from Siliconera, both characters will be available on both versions! This begs the quesiton, how will this affect tournaments? In the past, they were banned because they were console-exclusives; but now that exclusivity is gone. Since both characters are now available to everybody, should be allow them? Necrid too? Sadly, Link from the Gamecube version of the game remains absent from this downloadable release.

Yes, we really just titled this the ShiningBaconCast. And yes, I'm going to MAKE you figure out the connection. If you do, I can probably afford to give you a cookie if we ever meet.

That aside, it's time for more strats! Inching ever closer to the end of the character list, and now it's time for us to chat about some Mr. Evil Siegfried. For this episode I brought on DIME (DeathInMyEyes) who was kind enough to share his knowledge, and newly gained knowledge at that! I don't know what it is about Florida and Nightmare; must be something in the air. Enjoy!
