This is the 4th time have I said I dont like Soul Calibur 4. Online is maybe 20% of the real issue. I still like Soul Calibur.
There are only 4 titles in this series so some of you arent grasping this, but Street Fighter for instance you would see that the community as a whole is separated between Turbo, CE, Alpha 2, Alpha 3, HD Remix, VS(XvS, MvC1, MvC2), 3 and Super. I think vanilla is HORRENDOUS, I thinking CE is HORRENDOUS. I love 3 and I like Super more than vanilla. I think MvC is more polished than MvC2, MvC2 is so broken that its fun so I play MvC2 and never play MvC. Just about everybody thinks SF4 is pretty weak, why do people still play it? Why do they complain? DO I need to stop visiting SRK because there are two titles that I dislike?
And the logic youre using against me is "well just stop POSTING HEREEEZ!!"
I hate SC4, but I still play it? Why? Who knows. Deep down maybe I believe SC5 will somehow get it right after the series has clearly been taking a downward spiral since SC1? None the less its all we have. If SC2 was online I'd play that. If SC3 was online I'd play that. I play a game I dont like because it would be a big waste of the last 10 years playing Soul Calibur, thast probably why. In the meantime Im going to bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch about how much SC4 sucks until a SC5 comes out, and if I dont like that I will bitch and bitch and bitch until SC6 comes out and if I like that then i'll shut the hell up. Maybe.
Again, if you missed it the first time:
I DO NOT LIKE SOUL CALIBUR 4. I like 1. I like 2. I kind-a like 3. I hate 4. If I list the reasons why, which are my reasons it'll just give you a reason to try and "prove me wrong" or something to that effect. For starters I think CF gauge is ridiculous, especially for characters that are weak at crushing gauge and gives no incentive to just turtle if you wish. I like exhausting the guard button, but thats just me personally. Thats how I feel PERSONALLY. Fighting games dont need finishing moves. Thats how I feel personally. Siegfried is faster than Talim. lol. Fighting games dont need guest characters. SC4 system wise contradicts itself. But those are just a few reasons, that if you just all them ALL up together, SC4 leaves a bad taste in my mouth. You shouldnt be thrown out of WC attacks, these are my opinions. Just know that I dont like the game, and Im not alone seeing as how a chunk of the Calibur players went right back to Tekken for T6. I expect someone to pick this apart somehow, forgetting that I still will fell the same way about this game.
But thats not really the issue. Agree or disagree, I dont go to tourneys because I work on Saturdays, and nobody plays Soul Calibur anymore here. Im not a tournament person im a gatherings person. Again, thats just me. The old Calibur players here have moved on to Tekken or Street Fighter, or life, so as far as me having no opinion because I dont go to tournaments is just ridiculous.
The real issue is I disagreed with you. What more is there to say? Some of you seem to think I owe you an explanation or something. Im not going to stop posting here so if me not liking ONE GAME in a 4.5 title series annoys you so much just keep making fun of me being in the emergency room and posting pictures of me you snooped around Shoryuken.com's forums for.
