    How Can Soul Calibur Ensure Longevity?

    By building a community that attracts new players, and having charismatic players making youtube vids or streaming. If the game can be enjoyed by spectators, a following will definitely grow, considering this is the only 3D weapon based fighter with such a strong legacy.

    On Winning

    To Wandrian. Oh my goodness. "It is about fighting. It is about the thrill of battle." This is the definitive experience of Soul Calibur and why I have stayed with the title for so many years. Respect to your opponent is giving your best in battle to WIN. Honouring your opponent comes from...

    On Winning

    Fighting with your opponent is a form of communication. If you want to be brutal as can be, and "communicate" that brutality, by all means do so. I am not interested in dictating what you should or shouldn't do. Being 100% Ruthless is just one way of playing the game. If anyone does not...

    On Winning

    This is not directed at you but about the general topic. I totally disagree with "Do whatever it takes to win." and your philosophy. I know where you are coming from. If you think deeper, there is something called 武德 。or "Martial Virtue." Most important aspects: 仁 Ren: benevolence and...

    Reading Your Opponent: I Can See The Future

    When your cutting intent is too pure and focused, you may inadvertently expose yourself more than you should. What I am trying to say is that the intent to cut itself can be your weakness. It lends itself to predictability. The key here as you mentioned is the timing - but the opponent might...

    Spacing: Lines in the Sand

    To add on to this gem of an article, Do not be too predictable with yr 'spacing moves' and movement. In your mind, you should be tracking your opponent's current movement , and thinking a few steps ahead what might come next, waiting for the right moment to attack or evade or block. Abare...

    On Losing

    This is one possible perspective you might to consider. Losing is part and parcel of learning the game - yes. But if you truly want to master the game, fight hard with the mentality to win and raising your game to another level.. Feel the bitterness in losing and redouble your concentration and...

    Hate Speech: Throw-Tier Heroes

    Throws can also be used to counter people looking to GI or even JG. Throws can also be guaranteed in certain situations when you grab someone in the startup animation of a move, or against a ring edge with the possibility of RO.

    SCV- isJust Guard is better than GI? is GI useless now?

    Part of High Level play will be avoiding telegraphing moves that can be Just-Guarded easily . Just Guard essentially gives powerful options to those who prefer to stay in place and guard. It rewards players who can pinpoint point-of-impact frames accurately and reflexes /mechanical skill to...

    Hate Speech: A Seasonal Feast

    Well since we are going down memory lane, I liked how Soul Calibur 2 gave options to me rather than restrict options like what the sequels has done. If you couldn't keep up with the speed and safety present in the game system, it is your problem, not the game's shortcoming. Anyone can choose...

    Cannes 2010 Updates...

    Greetings to all. Just have some thoughts to share (being the oldest player on the team though most might not realise it). The Singapore Team played Soul Calibur 2 way back when it first came out on the arcades/console and you can say it was a landmark of sorts for us to be able to come to...
