Official Soulcalibur V 1.03 Patch Notes!

The last patch, was just under a month ago and it already looks like we're getting another one this week! From talking with Namco Bandai, I was under the impression that the 1.02 patch added a few "network bugs" into the mix, and since Project Soul spent so much time bringing us the best online netcode ever, they were naturally upset about this.

Well it seems, in addition to fixing the new network issues, Namco has also included a list of various other fixes and balance changes. Be warned though, the patch notes I have been supplied with were completely in Japanese; so I'm doing my best to translate them.

Battle System Adjustments

• 特定のタイミングでヴィオラ、ツヴァイの攻撃が相手からのダメージを無効化できていた現象について対処しました。
• Attack phenomenon was addressed where Viola and Z.W.E.I. could reset the damage scaler.

Algol

• 66A+B: 2段目の空中ヒット時に相手に与える効果を変更し、浮かせ状態の高さを低くしました。
• - Reduced the height of the launch state on the second hit.

Astaroth

• 236236A+B+K(アギュル・セステムス): 前回の修正に加え、特殊なしゃがみ操作によっても回避される現象について対処しました。
• - Fixed a glitch where the opponent could 1-frame duck the command throw in certain states (such as back-turn)

Ivy

• 236236A+B+K(流転せよ、奇なる運命): 前回の修正に加え、特殊なしゃがみ操作によっても回避される現象について対処しました。
• - Fixed a glitch where the opponent could 1-frame duck the command throw in certain states (such as back-turn)

Leixia

• クリティカルエッジ: 技自体の硬直時間を増やしました。
• - Reduced the hit stun time on Leixia's critical edge so that she can no longer combo from it. (This probably prevents here from doing a critical edge into critical edge)

Mitsurugi

• 236B(差踏岩戸割): 特定の条件で、通常の236Bと同等の攻撃発生で出せた現象について対処しました。
• - Glitch fixed... although I have no idea what that was.

Viola

• オーブ設置時6B+K: ガード時に相手に与える効果を変更し、強制立ち状態にならないようにしました。
• - Changed the affect of a guarding opponent so that they are no longer forced to a standing position out of crouch.
• クリティカルエッジ: ガード時に相手に与える効果を変更し、強制立ち状態にならないようにしました。
• - Changed the affect of a guarding opponent so that they are no longer forced to a standing position out of crouch.

Z.W.E.I.

• 66A+B: 技自体の硬直時間を増やしました。
• - Recovery time of the move has been increased. Reduced the length of block stun for the opponent.

 

Well, save for the ZWEI faux pas, it's more of a maintenance/fix patch. I hope we get a real balance patch someday.

After all, Raphail could use another nerf...

 

no, Raph is the worst

is raph %100 gimmicks? no he at least has a poking game

zwei has NOTHING

 

I hate everything

I would like it if they at least explained the rationale behind some of the most controversial changes.

I suppose they could have added "It was a bug" after each change.

U sir are a complete moron. Ur the idiots that caused the first patch to fuckin happen. STFU and learn how to play.

 

Seriously, this is getting to be almost laughably bad. They have NO idea what they are doing and what needs changing. Can we PLEASE go back to 1.01 yet?

 

O_O! what...dude chill ^

who in their right mind thinks raph or zwei is good?
Neither of them were ever good at any point in the games lifespan....why don't you learn to play? Im sure eating all those raph prep BB BB BB BB online makes him good but seriously...what?

There's nothing in this patch that significantly hurts any characters, but at the same time, there are several characters who need to be addressed who are just being ignored. No one needs any nerfs right now, but several characters need buffs and/or bug fixes.

 

wuaaaa wuaaaaa

the tears.....the tears taste SO good!!

 

What I wanted was a controller assignment screen like in SC4, and also a button config option in character select. I haven't tried the patch yet but I assume they're not there?

It's scientific fact that there is salt in tears.

lol.

 

rofl at those changes....

Of course not. That would mean the Soul team actually doing something positive with these patches.

 

I want to understand, quite seriously, what's so bad about this patch? I can see possibly whining about Leixia and ZWEI's changes...but...nothing else. I seriously want to know what's all this crying about...am I missing something?

Oh my god. I just visited SRK and they're being way more rational about the changes their than here. The End really is coming...
