BanHilde
[08] Mercenary
Hilde, if not patched, will be the one character that will ruin the Soul Calibur community.
Now before you judge me as yet another whiner or make a vote on the poll, you should take a look at the California Regionals results and videos. Only once you've experienced Hilde will you understand her righteous fury.
The basic mechanics of the character are broken. If you whiff once, you either eat 100+ damage if your back is facing a wall, or you eat a ring out. Guaranteed. What other fighting game has something like this? Even in Tekken, getting punished means a large percentage of your life, but you can still come right back. With Hilde, however, one AND ONLY ONE mistake is all that is required for you to LOSE THE WHOLE ROUND.
If she is allowed to stay while unpatched, she will be the death knell to competitive play. She engenders a negative gameplay experience, especially for the one playing against her but even so for those just watching. Who would want to play this game after seeing something that they and even tournament pros would consider "bullshit"?
With the power of YouTube, word about Hilde will spread fast and far, so that's why I made this topic. As a community we have to come together on a consensus to nip this in the bud, lest it become SCIV's Variable Cancel. Everything else about the game is fun.
Except Hilde.
Ban Hilde.
