My alternative to that would be that GI would be free but if they fail the GI and get hit during the whiffed GI window that hit is a CH. That's only if they wanted to make GI free. So you have to think before you just throw out a GI.

Even better! so there would be some sort of risk to GI.

And I wouldn't know, I never got a chance to play SC2.

No, it has been NCC ever since SCIII. They've been nerfing Sieg since SCII. Every game he gets a bunch of nerfs.

Oh, I see. I never played Siegfried since Soul Calibur 3, so I don't know anything about him. lol

Back on topic: do you guys remember Just Impact in Soul Calibur 4? Maybe that's a good solution.
 
Already if you miss a GI, you can get punished pretty hard. Maybe make the vulnerable window the same as Auto GIs. And if I had my way, Just Guard would be hitting guard with just timing, not letting go of it with the right timing, which feels unnatural to me. Though I agree its too abusable when you get the hang of it.. I play someone online that has to avoid doing it because he has it so down that when he wants he can JG just about everything; He almost never misses a JG on cervantes' bullets, unblockables, Elysium's CE.. pretty much anything with a windup he can JG at least half the time he tries.

Yeah. Personally I wish they would have just not included JG and kept the GI system from IV.
 
I never liked GI or JG because it always seemed like a brain dead solution to frame traps and general frame disadvantage. I know you can bait people to attempt GIs but you're giving up your frame advantage in the process. Then if they don't GI your back at neutral and you've wasted valuable frame advantage.

I like GI cause it discourages people from relying only on frame traps. You can block the first hit, then GI the frame trap afterward as opposed to just standing there and blocking. It's how you can punish someone who plays predictably. Then a GI battle ensues where you and your opponent need to keep anticipating if the next hit will be immediate, delayed or a grab. It's anything but braindead. Fuck JG, but I love GI.

Frame traps are there for a reason, it's the opponent's fault for getting in the frame trap in the first place. They should deal with their mistake of getting in the frame trap in the first place. Frame traps shouldn't be a reverse mix up.

Yeah i have no problem with frame traps. But if someone keeps using them over and over again, you should be rewarded for making the correct read instead of standing there and taking it. You're a Siegfried player, so you should know all about making good reads. Besides, a GI doesn't instantly negate any damage, you can still GI back which leads to fun little mind games

If they're doing them over and over then avoid what starts the frame trap. After then frame trap is started you should have to deal with it for getting in it in the first place. That's my opinion on the matter.

I would love to be able to avoid moves that begin frame traps. Sadly I can't read minds, so I'll just GI the following move because I know it's coming
 
Ok, guys, back on topic:

A cool addiction: if we get new stuff, I hope we can get a lava stage. There's something i've been missing since Soul Calibur 3, so we can throw some people in the lava and have some fun. lol
 
Dang it, I take one day off...

Looks like the flamewar has died down, but let me just remind you tourney guys that this is the casual forum. If you want to talk about gameplay stuff in here, that's fine, but don't belittle people for talking about and considering important the casual aspects of the game in the casual forum.

I probably should just go on a nuking spree... Ugh, it's late though... Maybe tomorrow.

Finally, as I once said to someone else, if you want a game with faceless, lifeless, dull characters with no story and no single player mode, but with super deep game play, perfect balance, lagless online, mindgames and strategies that you can never get to the end of, this is the game you are looking for and you should just give up on SC because it will never be that good in those respects.
