I bought the game on Xbox at release, but later moved to playing on Steam. If all you want is to play ranked, then sure the Xbox version works. If you want to play casual lobbies however Xbox is 100% broken, with no possibility to search for lobbies.

This is the main problem with SC6. There's a decent fundamental gameplay, but it has been buried under layers and layers of gimmicks. CE:s. while varying wildly between characters I still find are the least objectionable. Reversal edge has no place in the game whatsoever and PS should have...

Too bad, I was really hoping that a season 3 would bring needed improvements in gameplay and online functions. Just have to wait and hope for a possible Soulcalibur 7 then.

I prefer brave edge, it felt less disruptive and gimmicky.

I'd like them to fix netcode first and foremost. I don't know how SC5 had less lag and more stable online play with fewer glitches and bugs than a game made today. I'd also like them to remove region separation in casual netplay, it makes no sense at all to segregate an already small playerbase...

I don't play ranked, so I really don't care that much about that. Ranked modes in a fighting game is just stupid, and i fear removing CaS from it might make people who already think it's a competitive mode take it even more seriously. Any marginal issues from CaS are entirely insignificant...

While I do think Namco's marketing department could be a lot more transparent it's nothing in itself that would bar me from buying a possible season 3, I can live with the wait. However, if they bring out a third season and wants me to shell out for it I think the game is long due for some...

Thank you, that explains why I haven't come across it until now.

I just encountered a fun winquote from Grøh I haven't seen before (granted, Grøh is not my most used character), anyone know when it was added to the game? Grøh starts talking about shouting out the names of attacks and how it could affect breathing and concentration, then turns to the camera...

But I don't want easy wins. I want a challenging and fun match, and while there are other stuff that could get in the way of this RE is something that's immediately disqualified here. I really don't have the patience to BA someone out of their RE habits until they learn, I just won't play them...

You hit the nail on the head here. While I have been annoyed by lag-assisted spamming of one cheap move many times in the past, it has never come even remotely close to the annoyance of having the flow of a match completely interrupted by RE usage. Regarding SCIV I actually liked the...

The problem is that whenever i play against "scrubs" they only use RE, meaning that a very much larger chunk of the mechanics now are a dead weight. I can tell you right now, even though SC is by far my favourite of the fighting games, if the next entry in the series has anything like RE I'll...

Things I learn, I first thought WTF at 1.44 tons being 1306 kg, until looking up wikipedia and finding out a ton isn't 1000 kg everywhere...

I'll be getting a computer that can handle Soulcalibur VI soon, and since it seems people have been getting it to work on Linux I'm thinking of trying it. I wanted to ask you PC players how the online population is, is it worth getting? I'm only interested in casual rooms here, if I want to play...

I play on Xbox. I haven't actually compared the games in detail regarding just input lag, but just by memory I don't feel like the lag when offline is significantly higher than previous games. I'll take your word for it if you think it's worse, but I don't think it's enough to explain the...
