Thought I'd try my hand at making a topic (mostly because I'm bored!)
We've all been there (unless you have the patience of a Saint...) where something in the game just pisses you off to the point of no return as the red mist descends over your eyes and your body trembles with rage...
My question to you lovely people is: what are some of the biggest rage moments you have had whilst playing Soul Calibur and how far were you pushed? (did you throw anything? break anything?)
For me I've actually forgotten most of mine but it's often the AI because I'm not very good at the games and thus often get my ass handed to me. Certain characters though...
In SCIV, I dreaded fighting Seong Mina because she would constantly spam this overhead strike that, despite my best efforts, I could never avoid, and she'd sometimes even trap me on the ground with it. The worst part was that, in that game, it felt like vertical slashes could track you horizontally (kinda removes the point of separating the two, right?) so even when I side-stepped or rolled out of the way, I'd get to watch as her body rotated to follow me and hit me anyway. I used to scream bloody murder at her.
Cervantes and Astaroth used to make me mad too. Me and my friend used to call the move where he slides his axe on the ground (usually if you're laying down) the "shovel your ass" move XD.
The Apprentice was the only character to make me scream into a pillow and throw my controller though. I seriously feel like Namco were just sucking his d**k because there was no reason to make him as ridiculously OP as he was in Arcade. Algol was a pansy compared to him. Someone on the team must've REALLY liked The Force Unleashed...
In fact, so many of the characters in SCIV pissed us off that we had childish 'hate names' for each one, usually replacing part of their name with 'ass' or something. Asstaroth, Cervantass, Sl*t-Meanie, Xiangwh*re, Sh*temare, etc.
In SCV, Lizardman was one of my biggest grievances I think (that B,B,B tho...) and A.Pat too (that style always has horrendously evil AI) but nothing pissed me off more than Kilik, especially in Legendary Souls. Add that to his sh*t-eating grin and "It's fate, you weren't meant to win" when he wins and it's like he KNOWS what he's doing. The only thing that pissed me off more than him was Edge Master in that mode, but I'm pretty sure that's true for everyone, lol.
The funniest moment happened when I was Skyping with a friend and we were both playing (but not with each other) and whilst I was fighting Ezio in the Arcade, he kept grabbing me over and over (like legit, that's all he did, like his AI just got stuck) and one of the things I'm useless at is breaking throws, so I just kept falling for it and eventually I screamed something like "STOP GRABBING ME YOU GRAPPLING PIECE OF SH*T" which sent my friend into hysterics and now she won't let me live that moment down XD.
I believe I raged at the final Elysium battle in the Story Mode too. Badly. Pretty sure things were thrown.
I'm a little annoyed I couldn't remember any more specific moments. How about you guys? Anything particularly funny happen during a good ol' ragefest?
(Sorry if this topic is boring or been done before, I was just bored. Mods can delete it if they want)
