What is lacking

[Djangoknight]

And most obviously, moveset changes. They did remove , they did. But there's no point crying over it since it's gone.

yoshimitsu still has ¯\(ツ)/¯

 

[rurounikenshin]

When I see an arrogant person I always want to fight them, but no they'll all on Xbox. -__-

Anyway, Mitsu and Ivy are fun for me :D

dont worry sett, i fought ixhizy on psn with raphael (im not that good with him) and beat him pretty easy he is not good at all.

One things for sure, i would have liked a lot more new characters in general to SCV rather than just Z.W.E.I. and Viola since technically we already knew about Patroklos and his sister through story. and good ol' maxi's babysitting job/group are nearly clones.

Would like characters that look sorta like this and there weapons/designs to show up in SCVI if one is ever created. [The following pictures are examples of such characters from a great and talented artist from Deviant.]

Weapons: Long Sword + Tower Shield
Gender: Male
Classification: Heavy German Knight
Height: Very Tall
Traits: High defensive, long reach, poor offensive, slow
Ethnicity: German
Allegiance: Good/SoulCalibur (With Siegfried?)

Spoiler: Tank

Weapons: Kunai, smoke bombs, shuriken, hidden needles, teleport
Gender: Male
Classification: Male Ninja (With a much more violent style as opposed to natsu's)
Height: Short
Traits: High Speed, average damage, decent range, weak defense, slow Critical Edge
Ethnicity: Japanese/African
Allegiance: Neutral (Hired help?)

Spoiler: Speed

Weapons: Giant (Holy) Two-Handed Hammer (Not like Rock, a much more spin based and swingy version with girly animations thrown in)
Gender: Female (Because a female character, a petite one at that wielding a big ass pally hammer would be hilarious)
Classification: Paladin
Height: Short
Traits: Very high single hit damage, very weak combo's, high defense, very slow overall, slow movement
Ethnicity: British
Allegiance: Good/SoulCalibur

Spoiler: Burst Damage

Weapons: Dagger, Explosives (Almost like the one from SCIII)
Gender: Female
Classification: Dancer/Thief
Height: Average
Traits: High speed, tricky movements, good combo's, decent long range damage, weak defense
Ethnicity: Egyption
Allegiance: Neutral

Spoiler: Tactical

Bangoo... since in general he was very highly requested upon. he could wield bow and arrows along with close range weapons to make him a clone of Link or something.

Spoiler: bangoo?

Weapons: Twin Chain-Blade Whips (Not to copy Ivy's, his dual weapons would remain in a chain-blade whip state)
Gender: Male
Classification: Soul Edge Minion (Like Tira plot wise, but with a dude, could have had potential to be tiras brother, partner or something?)
Height: Tall (To match the great range of the weapons)
Traits: Moderate damage, moderate speed, moderate defensive, extremely high range, very high critical edge potential, high combo potential
Ethnicity: Fantasy (Hey why not? we have a flying lizard that breathes fire in the game now, a guy who can summon a werewolf, and a girl with a floating crystal ball...)
Allegiance: Evil/SoulEdge

Spoiler: DPS

The last one looks fucking awesome, i can tell you, if he appears in SC6 he will be my main for sure.

It wasn't demolished. She is still a very good character.

I think Tira's moveset was not demolished but I no longer feel attached to it.

I am confused at the reply. I believe we are in agreement.

that sounds like Tira to me.

The randomness comes from the player's choices not a game mechanic. :)

[Wandrian]

I got into SC because I thought the fighting was fun. Am I considered an evil person now?

Yep. If only there was a way you could whiff more...

She is still a very good character.

This is a bit of an understatement, folks. This, coming from a guy who did indeed agree with the whiners about Tira being nerfed into oblivion for awhile

I thought Tira's nerfs were pretty bad myself when 1.02 dropped, just like most everyone else. The only difference is I started really, *REALLY* looking at what she's capable of before and after that patch. Srsly, 1.01 Tira was Mitsurugi in drag and on crack. 1.02 Tira? Combine Algol's meter-based combos, Patroklos' rushdown, Ivy's stepkill, Mitsurugi's power, Pyrrha Omega's punishment, and dash in a bit of Dampierre's randomness. That is post-1.02 Tira, still a powerful character by any standards.

...So yeah, after figuring this out on my own it's become a pet peeve to see people whining about Tira's well-deserved nerfs :P

 

[Cjiddy]

yoshimitsu still has ¯\(ツ)/¯

Oh wow. I didn't know considering I never used him, but I appreciate the heads up. But you get the general idea.

 

[Solo]

All that is needed is Sieg's stance A+B moves and his old 6K with that CH stun. :D

 

[Ramus]

Leshain those are great , havee you draw then, cuz really amazing work

Solo and mostly Synraii hope we are good, if i done something really bad sorry, =)

 

[Solo]

^You're fine, everyone has their own preferences. :D
I have a bit of a casual side too. I have way too many Pyrrha edits. Lol

 

[lxhizy]

I.

I'm not going to read everything of course but if it makes you happy YEA YOU ARE PRETTY GOOD PLAYERS AND CAN OVERWHELM ME ANYTIME but unfortunely for you, you have a shitty xbox and I own a PS3 so you better quit the obsession with me! lol its of no consecuence

seems like I can't know just few moves from the movesets if I don't know the whole moves of the fuckin whole soul calibur, lol

 

[Naught]

Snip.

I will reiterate. Apropos to the quoted reply:

I think Tira's moveset was not demolished but I no longer feel attached to it.

My only gripes currently is the lack of Clean Hits (which is for the development team's philosophy not Tira) and the few factors which has reduced my personal ability to have fun with the character, on a completely subjective basis which in and of itself pertains only to a measly few situations.I am just tired of personally being frustrated with her style.

I am actually cheering for her growing victories and hope she does well with EVO. :) However, it is best if we continue this discussion, it is taken off the thread and moved on privately, as I feel we have all participated in moving a bit off topic (and I complained about others going off track).

Damn right.

^Why is his opinion hating? Because it doesn't match up with yours? Too much focus on 1p modes and story gives us shit like SCIII. I'm not saying story is "bad" but there shouldn't be too much focus on it.

Also, do you hear Virtua Fighter players complaining about story? VF has no story so there isn't anything to complain about, seems it's worked out better in the long run.

Yeah but then VF isn't selling copies based on story and characterisation. The first two games showed an enormous amount of effort being put into the characters and their backstories. That gave a lot of players reason to enjoy the game more, and get more involved in it.

Also are there no mods for the casual section? Pages 2-5 should just be flat out deleted, wtf is Sophie's SCIV frame data discussion doing in this thread? And Synraii coming in, acting like an asshole and then getting Hikari to apologise? Wtf is going on? Synraii spends his time trolling and shit talking and then says "LOL I'm just a nice guy don't hate me" when it gets out of hand, and has done it so much that people now think he's a top player even though he's done jack shit in any tournament. And then everyone likes his posts? And "Syn" don't derail this thread again into another flame war, you got a problem with what I said, write it on my profile page.

Back on topic, lack of arcade mode was shocking I think, especially as pre-release the PS guys actually talked quite a lot about not wanting to spoil the story, releasing info about Mitsu's long lost brother and the new Yoshi killing the old Yoshi etc.

If they had had time to improve the story mode, they could have done something like what DOA Dimensions did, where you were given little gameplay exercises before each battle in the Chronicles mode to explain the system mechanics, and a sample of the 1P character's combos.

Also: your hypocrisy. You're talking about how bad hardcore players are about egos with hate on casuals, yet you're prattling on about how hardcore players are so bad and unnecessary to fighting games and implying their inferiority compared to casual players. Very tacky sir, very tacky. If the hardcore audience wasn't important, sites like this would simply not exist; let alone thrive. Literally, your post existing proves that you're wrong.

Hypocrisy? Hmmm, and at which point in my post did I say the "hardcore" audience wasn't important? or Bad? I just said that casual players tend to get shat on because they want more out of the game then just a VS mode, and lets be honest, at 60 bucks plus whatever we pay for DLC, It's completely justified to want more. And from most of the post on this site, you know there is sarcastic and snarky attitude towards those who don't have time to go to tournaments. And to be honest, I am a "hardcore" player. But I don't mind a decent Single player mode. Whatever keeps people buying Soul Calibur is allI care about. So in response to your response sir, Sorry, but I'm sticking by my earlier post.

 

[Solo]

^The only time I see a sarcastic attitude is when people talk about single player modes as if that's what made SC a game at all. Like it was some party game...

 

[Paranormal_Oreo]

Whats lacking is the sexual tension between Viola and Z.W.E.I.

 

[Donsteel]

I think you're mistaking what "sarcasm" is.

 

[Solo]

I think you're mistaking what "sarcasm" is.

I meant sarcastic in response to players who think what I said in my previous post.

 

[Synraii]

Wtf is going on? Synraii spends his time trolling and shit talking and then says "LOL I'm just a nice guy don't hate me" when it gets out of hand, and has done it so much that people now think he's a top player even though he's done jack shit in any tournament. And then everyone likes his posts? And "Syn" don't derail this thread again into another flame war, you got a problem with what I said, write it on my profile page.

Ohh that stung. XD
Never said top player, only ever said good player. Or maybe you think its just because I play Alpha? As for tournament performances, facts is facts and you're the only player in the country with more SCV wins than me. I don't shout that from the rooftops though do I? Also, VS fighting coming up, talk that shit to my face when I do well there. (fingers crossed)

And for the record Duncan, trolling a thread that is made for casual players is to be expected, deal with it. People like my posts because people who know better know I don't do this in reality and its both a funny contrast and funnier still when children get upset about it.

Oh and don't try and pin this post on me, instigation gets a retaliation. Go bitch about it on neo.

 

[Age_of_Truth]

snip.

Right, so, to be clear, there's a casual section on this site so that dickheads like you can come in and make pointless insulting comments and then say "LOL I'm trolling I'm so funny ahahahahahah"

And take your "tournament record" out of here, anyone who has shown up to an EMS event has a better record than you
