    Soul Calibur Character Selection STudy RESULTS

    I don't think all Kiliks are scrubs and newbies. He has some definite pluses going for him. Aside from some predictability issues, he's still quite a bit faster than Seung Mina and some of his mixups can be really fast and reach really far. So he can pressure pretty well too. But really, I'm...

    So, Amy or Schezerade?

    I wish they didn't ban characters like them. I think they're balanced more or less except maybe for the ultra-nerfed Ashelotte. Also, Scheherazade seems to suffer from her size as well since some of the moves that may have whiffed on Amy doesn't on Scheherazade. I think they trade off their...

    Amy v1.03 Patch Changes...

    Amy Patch Changes... Reasonable, but I don't like it. Why they made soul crushing more difficult I would never understand... or maybe the Japanese players were getting destroyed with soul crushes.

    New : v1.03 Patch in Japan.

    New : 1.03 Patch in Japan. I don't know about SC having that big a market in Japan. Online architecture, that's more of a Korean thing than Japan. Japan has the works, but they really don't take their games online the way North Americans and Europeans do. Also, Japanese gamers really play...

    Move Spamming in Online Play

    I don't mind spamming. It is sometime easy to anticipate and to beat. Honestly, the online has been a boon as far as my own game goes. I'm infinitely better as a player than just beating up CPUs all the time. Ranked or no, I still get a few really awesome and close matches. I would not blame...

    Things for a total SC noob to practice to become good?

    Spammers? What's wrong with it? If you're any good or actually want to improve, you're going to find ways to fend it off. Also, not all ranked games are made equal. Some of the higher levelers know how to mix it up and the intensity of the match will be a good testing ground as long as you have...

    For how long will SCIV's soul burn? 6 months?

    November at the most as I see it. I think we are already seeing a slight dropoff of steady games online. Some spurts I actually found no games for a minute or two. Also, Saints Row 2 is coming out soon and I'm already spending a ton of time on XBLA games like Braid, Castle Crashers, Geometry...

    Final Round

    Well, it's not quite bad enough for me to mute it, but you could only describe the music in the other games as 'epic' quite easily. It went from being truly great to being pedestrian. None really carries the catchiness of SC1's, SC2's, SC3's or even Soul Edge's for example. That said, I played...

    Things for a total SC noob to practice to become good?

    I think the ONE thing that separates from newbies to pros is their affinity towards sidestepping. Most people just seems confused when you use it and it can be helpful to sidestep when you're on the floor as well (roll away!). Just the rudimentary stuff that people usually don't use can...

    Final Round

    Yeah, the music is ATROCIOUS, not to mention it disturbs me when I'm close to losing. I guess it's an incentive to not let matches go to five rounds for me. Also, I find that the game chugs slightly for the music to load at rare times and that can add onto the stress. Really, I can't...

    dead post dumping ground

    Usually, I stop trying to worry about basic etiquette like spamming, abusing (I know, it's somewhat my fault for not countering it, but when it happens and you get hit, then you get frustrated. Simple) and other stuff. It still peeves me off when people are worrying about extracurricular things...
