The future of Soul Calibur

[UnseenWombat]

You and the rest of casuals can complain all you want I'm not gonna engage in an argument with...casuals...

You do realize which forum you're in, don't you?

Regarding Zwei, I'm pretty sure (unfortunately) that he is not dead. Every time someone falls off a cliff in a game, movie, comic or TV show, and you don't have a cold, dead body to examine, they're not dead. Hopefully though the fall killed that retarded wolf thing, or caused them to merge together or something, so he's just a slightly more wolfish human now.

I'm not a casual, a legit A2 in ranked, who knows at least 10 hit combo strings with almost every character except for viola's simple jugs, Pyrrah's spamming 3B heavy swings/ random super tossing playstyle. A fan who knows about each of the characters frame positives, and negatives do you even have a main? Is that main like 82% out of the 300 games you've played on the 0 bar connections on PSN? I can't even whop you for saying that because your not on Xbox Live. I swear the C2 that I trained would smash you so hard, your rectum would leak your intestines!

I might be a casual at alot of other titles but, not Soul Calibur I've been on it since 2, hard at work kid, I swear some blind fan boys are so disrespectful! You can argue with me I know what hell I'm talking bout.

You do realize the rank doesn't matter... Knowing combos with everyone doesn't either. I would rather have solid fundamental play then know combos for everybody...

That would be cool for the opening of 6 you see Z.W.E.I falling and does somswet motion and stance in his way down. Before he falls he yells "E.I.N MERGE!" We see E.I.N come out and reluctently nods and some burst of energy and some purple mist or smog erupts out of Z.W.E.I as he merges with his body. As he crash lands and as the smoke clears some cool large were-wolf warrior comes out or something.

It would be cooler if Ein sacrificed himself to save Zwei. Just saying.

This! I don't have a problem with Zwei, considering he's more like-able than the person who's supposed to be the fucking protagonist. Just Ein. I feel like with some character development and a decent storyline he could eventually become someone I like. But Ein? That thing has got to go. I can't take Zwei seriously with a disembodied robot wolf at his side.

I have that aswell, and rank does matters, if a player can't get past or to C or B.... You must not be that great, you think you don't have to try , your defense aganist alot of styles must be pretty bad, you probably might not even know whats safe or not for your main character and the usual reason is that you don't want to practice but you complain like you know what your doing.... thats when you desreve that low rank your stuck with or that 20% win ratio.

I have lost to some legit B ranks, and to a couple of C ranks but come tofind out their actaully A1's and 2's. If your reffering to the guys who have 2 to 3 thousands of games won, but just never go to ranked. They have the same experince as an A ranked.... so yeah basically their the same thing as an A rank that just doesn't display it.

Combo Strings are useful in any fighting game, not saying its what makes or breaks a player, but it makes for good Guaranteed Damaged once a launcher, stun, counter, wall splat, or ground bounce happens. That is also what most of the brave edges are used for in the game anyway. Like Rapheals simple 3B (counter hit) , B, B, B BE thats like 10 12 hits, like pat 236 B BE, and how it leaves them sliding state, combos also make the game more entertaining to watch as well.

The only characters that can play can with-out combos really (Yet they still have combo strings on the larger side) are Mitsurugi, Siegfried, Nightmare, Astaroth(If just a few of his base hits connect, you will die quickly, and yeah he has dozens of grab combos, and follow ups with almost every sitaution, but is still slow and high risk) and Aeon.

The best part about knowing those so many characters, it becomes harder for people to mix you up, because you know most of what they do, if you fight with that character. The main factor of playing this and any other fighting game, is that it's based on the player, if you can wacth your oppenet well enough and can know your charcter and their character enough you can win with no combos(Basic and Juggles) and just punish, just guard, and back grab them to death. I basically stated previously how i play.

I still prefer Sc4 yoshi mitsu compared to 5's, and Zaslamel is defiently missed. I do miss all of the characters from 4 and three who got canned.

Whats everyone's problem with ein? Its not Zwei to me without ein. Hes just another weapon but in in wolf form. I really dont see the problem with him.

Am I the only person that actually likes Patroklos' personality? :/

I personally think he's hilarious.

No i like the cockiness. hes like an embodiment of me, you know without all the justice.

For me, its like this. Imagine you were visiting a person's home that had a traditional style kitchen. Good old-fashioned wood cabinets and granite counter-tops. And then, smack dab in the middle of this kitchen, there's a modern fucking table. Its ugly and out of place, because the style of the kitchen is traditional. Ein is my modern table. And I want him GONE. But still, thats just my opinion.

If you don't like the juxtaposition of old-fashioned and modern elements, how on earth have you put up with the Soul series for this long? :P

Not only is he completely out of place in the game, but he looks stupid too. If he were an actual wolf spIrIt, kInda lIke Unknown's, It would be better but a robot moon wolf Is almost as "out there" as Darth Vader and Yoda. No, I'll never like Zwei as long as Ein is there in that form.

I think he's referring to how retarded Ein looks more than that he looks "modern"

The other funny thing about Zwei is the fact he doesn't have a neck.

i wasn't sure where to post this so i thought this forum would be fine: where would you put Maxi at in SC6? (or any character for that matter).

i haven't really been paying too much attention to Maxi's story throughout the SC games, but since SC5 didn't have Talim he became my main. and now i've been starting to get curious about him and his backstory.

in SC5 he seemed to have some connection with the asian kids (leixia/natsu/xiba) though i never really understood it since all he say is "what're they teaching kids these days" only when he beats them. i've also been curious with kilik's story. it took him up to SC4 to learn his own style but only 17yrs to master many of the other styles in the game.

I was thinking about maxi's story in SC5, I thought he was going to try and take out the cult of Ares(The cult of the guy who made Astaroth), I forgot the guy's name who personally made this Astaroth, starts with a K. Maxi killed him last game or before last. But he survived the destruction of the area the where, so now this new astaroth is here.

I was surprised to see that maxi just diddn't care about astaroth's existence and just decided to help xiba, lexia, and natsu because edge mastre said so, not sure if he didn't realize the hundreds of them in the war and stuff but... well we will never know. But I thought he was goning to try to fully avenge his fallen crew, that Astaroth murdered. (A good cutsence in his story if he had one. Would have been to see Maxi just mentally Snap as he has a flash back of his crew being murdered by the first Astaroth, right as an Astaroth was beating on Xiba, Lexia and Natsu, just having Maxi just simply break the thing apart. Would have been something to remember...)

But to answer your question, I think When he finally notices this army of his rival. The 3 kids will be grateful he shepred them on their road, and help raise a group of his own warriors, and try to combat the cult, who knows if the 3 would even help, or just contiue on their path. But thats where PROJECT SOUL could add "LI-LONG" a character from Soul Calibur 3 and Soul Blade to help him, maybe even Kilk and he can use his old style from SC 4, or even the staff bonus style from 3, that staff style looks like a master of kung fu can only use. If you wanna see it go on youtube and search up "Soul calibur 3 hualin command list" no qoutes, tell me what you think.

Tell me who else doesn't belong in this game. Maybe Ivy and her snake sword, maybe the giant lizard man who breaths fire, or maybe teleporting ninjas. What king of game is SC design wise anyway? This game isnt called 16th Century Fight Simulator 5.

I miss Zaslamel, but I don't mind Z.W.E.I he is a very orignal character, I mean as in the way he use his werwolf side, my only thing with him is that design of E.I.N is to animeish. They should use unknown's "Wolf" design from tekken tag 1, to keep the series somewhat darker like it has been for the longest.

Silly goose, I'm pretty sure he knows what you're talking about already. However, the point is ranked is just there. When I see an A1, I just think it's just a label. Oh look, an

person.



Imho, I rather be an E5 than an A1 steak sauce label. Thus, I prefer ranked battles to be erased from fighting games. Sadly, we can't always get what we want. *pouts*
