just logging in after a long break, cool to see that discussion continued after I left! You guys rock! I guess we also getting a new SC game lol, the single player thing that's coming out... somehow I don't think it's the game anyone here wanted XD

Well, I'll see you guys again whenever another SC does get released. I tried to get back into 5 but between the addition of meter (meh, series doesn't need it) and the utter lack of anyone online I returned the game. Hopefully, that E3 news via SRK is a new game. Doubtful, but I can still...

I'm not expecting anything at E3 honestly. But in the next year or two I wouldn't be surprised if we all had a new SC game to play.

Speaking of Tira... Man, I honestly think they should just streamline her entire moveset. Give her the best moves from both stances and be done with the stance changing. I think it'd make her a more potent character overall. They can still call out to it, she can be happy during some moves...

I agree. SF4 series is the FG I play the most this gen. Even with set ups and match up knowledge it's much much simpler to learn and get to the meta (start playing, mindgames, yomi, ect). With SC (and Tekken especially) you also have to factor in tons of moves + 3D movement options. SF is...

On the whole I agree with you. Yet, I believe that games need to cater towards the casual/single player audience as well. A robust single player/story campaign can help sell the game to a lot of players who might not otherwise play it. As bad as it sounds, we need the games to sell well or...

40 seems like too many characters for a 1v1 game. I think TTT2 suffers from this as well even tho it's 2v2. I wouldn't mind a cast of 20 actually different characters. Old characters get priority and introduce (or keep) a few new ones. It just gets to the point where instead of spending time...

ya other then CAS (which seems to be huge and is fun ;) I'd say tournaments may have played some role as well. Getting the game on screen and having people see it, talk about it, ect... can't ever hurt. I don't even want to count how many times I've gotten salty and sold Marvel only to buy it...

nice, thanks for the current numbers. I wonder what it is that continues to drive sales for the series? If I had to guess I'd day it's the power of the character creator. People see CAS pics/vids all over the place and want in on the action. also, ya I'd love an announcement at E3 but...

quoting for posterity

at some point. http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/soul-calibur-and-tekken-series-sales-slow-as-namco-bandai-stays-healthy-in-the-console-market/ This is a little old but I just came across it and found it incredibly interesting. here is a choice quotes: Based on sales alone it's...

OK, just want to get this off my chest. I thought it was stupid to get rid of Zasalamel and Talim. Both their weapon types and movesets are gone. What a waste. I also much preferred Sohpitia to Pyrha. She was a better character and was far less annoying. Imo they really fucked up. It's...

I hope they REBOOT the series. Bring back all the old favs and return to a simpler and more streamlined system. Something like SC2 without the glitches would be great. If they want to attract more players I think this would do it, SC2 was simple to get into yet hard to master -- the fabled...

I didn't know where else to post this but I just wanted to say THANK YOU! The ads on this site are small and unobtrusive (it's just a small banner at the top of the page) and they don't auto play audio, or blow up and fill the page. I have turned my Ad Blocker OFF for 8WayRun. I've really...

I'll just give Sc5 another chance. I was just asking to see if there were people who simply out right rejected it and stayed with SC4. Oh well maybe SC6 will bring back zasalamel,(why get rid of an entire weapon type smh...) sophitita (pyrha not the same imo, much weaker) Talim (so...
