It is amazing how Namco is able to make hyper obout anything happens to Tekken, but not to Soul Calibur i mean really TTT2 is gois to have the double of chars of SC V and it is a spin off --*

Mind you Namco Bandai are the ones who help develop and publish Tekken games, rather than just publishing it like they did with SC. Seems like they would have a better connection to games they've developed. Plus SCV is actually Daishi's first time being a director. Harada has been directing Tekken ever since Tekken 3, and with that game's success, and TTT2's current success, and it hasn't been released yet, I'm sure Namco believes in everything he does, because they'll know it will be successful.

The "doubled the amount of characters than SCV" fact is not really a good thing, but Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is able to do it, because, story-wise it isn't canon.

EDIT: Not really sure if this is Daishi's first time directing Soulcalibur, but I know he was a designer when he started.
 
Oh no, i mean about marketing not the game itself, since is Daishi firts one is only natural that the game does not have the classic feling,...................anyway it still possible to the series go very very far in the time and we play some reicarnations...

Actually, this IS Daishi's first time directing a Soul Calibur game. As far as Tekken is concerned, Namco Bandai is banking on its success time and again and they know that Harada will deliver the goods. With Soul Calibur and Project Soul, because of its many changeups in its lineup, they're not taking their chances like they use to with them and clearly are making more room for Tekken by the day.

Not much of a comparison to SC and Tekken, but I am getting your point.

I'm just wondering where it went wrong. Soulcalibur's success and Namco's reliability was to the roof when this series started. Soulcalibur 3 was a slight change of pace because it was released on console first, and it was released on only one console, but the Arcade version made up for SC3's problems.

I feel like they just didn't trust Daishi, but the irony is in that the game is only failed BECAUSE they didn't trust Daishi and rushed it and didn't give them full support.
 
If SCVI has Sieg's stance A+B moves, his old 6K, and only 1 S&S style I think I'll be in heaven.

I swear, your "One S&S only or GTFO" Makes people angrier than the fact Talim users were left in the dust.
But whatever, if you give that one sword and shield user a shitload of moves then I'm fine with it :D (That character will probably be overpowered then though)

I know, I guess failed was a poorly used word. It wasn't what it could have been.

That's how I feel. It's good, but it could have been so much better if it were not for the time constraints.

I think it's hilarious most S&S players are terrible at making reads on their opponent because they're spoiled with tools for everything. Nearly every S&S player I've faced has poor fundamentals because their character is doing all the work. Also I'm not saying "One S&S only or GTFO!" I'm just stating my wishes just like everyone else, because I have an opinion.
 
I dont liek to fight! I'm a good person :sc5lei1:
Im okay with him having a totally different opinion than me. I agree, we don't need the number of sword and shield users that we have. I suppose one would be fine, but I'd prefer two because one focuses moreso on the shield while the other focuses moreso on the sword.
 
They wouldn't bother me if people couldn't play them exactly the same and they had fundamental differences.

The only thing I got from similarities is how easy it is to spam BB and that its the same attack, their stances, and their unblockable attacks. I mean Pyrrha and Patroklos are insanely different (Pyrrha and Pyrrha O are my mains, but I cannot for the love of me use patroklos)
