    Kilik's Guard Break Attacks

    Thanks for this post and the effort you put into it. It's appreciated. I plan on labbing and testing the info out. I'd like to read more posts like yours. Mostly, I've been trying to find Kilik anomalies that work. My experience so far is that Kilik's MO hop is underutilized by many and opens...

    Soul Calibur V Sales Discussion

    I was reading one of the latest issues of Gameinformer and they listed the best selling console games for 2011. In second place was Just Dance 3. SC is never going to have that type of broad appeal w/ females who spend money on gaming software but they definitely could have marketed this version...

    Xiba top 10 moves

    When Xiba whiffs on 3kB and does that stutter step can you do another move (or another 3kB) before the stuttering animation finishes? I think you're able to, but I've only been able to play SCV so late at night when half-asleep that I'm not sure.

    Elitists, and Why We Need Them

    The OP's premise fixates upon differentiating between elite and mediocre but misses a self-evident point. What separates the two for the most part is dedication. Natural aptitude and experience comes into play but a dedicated player will rise above mediocrity. In application, his post misses the...

    Anti-Algol/Hilde

    Regarding Algol and his bubble shield--it's difficult to generalize due to the variable height, speed and size of the bubbles, but I've found that at least with the more linear bubbles if you time the rising action of MO A+B, K so that you avoid his bubbles when rising up Kilik's bo, you often...

    Male gamers thread

    Guys, I feel your pain but even when you get older, you're still going to have to put up with this abuse. It's taken me a long time to feel comfortable with my body so when the summer comes I've earned the right to prance around in a Speedo displaying my luxurious mane of downy back hair. I...

    8way run...then & now

    I don't think the community here is elitist, but that it has a core group that takes the game very seriously. There's nothing wrong with that. After all look how obsessive some people are with their mmorpgs. It was foreseeable that with SCIV going online there was going to be a healthy rivalry...

    The losses keep piling up

    In the spirit of beating a dead horse, I think there's a difference between playing to improve and playing to win--though at some point in ones progression those two aspirations should start to conjoin. To posit that the stakes though are inconsequential to the mindset is bit abstract IMO. If...

    The losses keep piling up

    IMO, unless you're making enough money from SC to pay the mortgage, place your kids in private school and vacation in the south of France Sir Loin's play to win ideology is meaningless. As for the OP, you've been playing this game for a long time without success and that means only one...

    6 a+b, 66a,a,a 22_88a,a,a

    We all know that the above are noob tools but I need help in understanding whether they have any place in an experienced Kilik's player’s arsenal. I never use these moves b/c (a) Kilik has better ones than those and (b) it seems embarrassing to use them. In retrospect the latter doesn't seems...

    Your wife and soulcalibur

    When I was married (for 15 years) my X wasn't too keen on gaming, but then again she grew up in generation where women didn't commonly play videogames. After my divorce I met a girl 16 years younger than me and she's way more tolerant about gaming than my X was--totally different generation...

    If i see one more....(thread)

    Oh the types of people we meet online, full of pathos and peculiarities. One type I occasionally bump into online I’ll dub the “White Knight”. It’s where some guy (who apparently lacks a RL girlfriend) chats it up w/ a particular chick in the room and adopts the mantle of becoming her...

    Be afraid of what you wish for...

    Back on track--this just begs the question that when the market becomes so saturated with new releases (albeit quality ones) it inevitably has to hit a wall--namely finite gamer $ financial resources. I've never seen a period like this before with so many AAA or near AAA titles coming out in...

    Be afraid of what you wish for...

    It's sheer madness--trying to keep up with the parade of new releases--falling asleep in my office, eyeballs swimming around in a sea of crimson jelly, equilibrium shot, swaying dizzily at my keyboard all because of... Deadspace Fable II Brothers In Arms HH Saints Row II SC IV (of...

    Tournament Divisions?

    If a tournament ever offered a +40 division I'd be a beast--ya know one in which people keep screwing up inputs cuz they're having a senior moment. I'll take on all you older biatches...

    Obama or McCain?

    For those who are interested. I thought this was an informative piece. Amazing that one relatively small division could bring down such a behemoth creating such titanic collateral damage. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/28/business/28melt.html?hp=&pagewanted=all
