I'm amazed they patched it at all. Rematch button - thank christ. If there's an unmentioned change to skip cutscenes etc. I'll be over the moon. As is my heavily damaged faith in Namco is seeing the first green shoots of new growth.

I'm not expecting anything, sadly, but it would be nice for Namco to make an attempt at justification of their design choices if nothing else. The worst thing they can do as far as I'm concerned is continue not to address the obvious issues in any way.

I've been waiting/hoping for some news from Namco, either of an incoming patch or perhaps some reasoning behind decisions made to do with the SC2 HDO UI or similar. I haven't seen anything yet... has anyone else? Would really appreciate any official SC2 HDO related news if you have it (and...

I originally voted displeased, as I was so shocked at the terrible UI, missing Japanese voices and poor experiences online. After a few days, I would upgrade to unsatisfied, because I've had some good online games and believe the netcode does work well (better than SCIV or roughly as good as...

All the points I care about are in the first post, props to Mage for setting this up as a definitive list. I'm gutted with how shoddy the online UI is. Every online fighting game since SCIV has had a lobby iirc. A rematch option for non-ranked games would be the minimum before I would feel...

Some throw break advice from an Astaroth player: - B command throw is the most damaging option with follow ups, can ring out with air grab follow up or 22_88B BE, air grab if slightly off axis - A command throw BE will ring out if Astaroth has his back to the edge - A low grab will ring out if...

SCVII will be based in the far future and all characters will pilot mechs. Guest characters from the Virtual-On series, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Metal Gear Solid will feature, also Pac Man using the same robot he pilots in Streetfighter X Tekken.

Astaroth has low throw setups from some counter moves with his B low throw being the higher damage of the two, A low throw ring out with your back to the edge. Also standing A command throw BE will ring out if Astaroth has his back to the edge.

Well, Soul Calibur V didn't make the community vote, but we should still have some running on casual setups over the course.

This is a last call for support - Soul Calibur V is trailing in both votes just now; it could be removed altogether from the Singles vote this week! Without your support, SCV won't be at Hypespotting. If you can, please head over to the Versus Scotland forum *today*, register and vote for SCV.

Hi folks, There's going to be a big fighting game tournament in Glasgow in March of next year, with the main games being SSF4AE, KoFXIII and UMvC3 with 2 more games to be decided by community vote. If enough people vote for Soul Calibur V, there'll be live, streamed games from the event as...
