Anyone else picking this up today? Im getting the 360 version and from what ive seen from videos and screenshots its going to pretty good. And how long do you think it will be before 360 releases Darth Vader to thier mall for purchase. I really want to beat down Yoda /w Darth Vader :rock.

I think Soul Calibur is the only game I hate more than Mario Strikers.

[RPGmaker]

Ive always liked the series. Im also picking up Spectral Force 3 today.

Morrowind. At least in terms of volume of posts.


And I got the first SC on Live a couple weeks ago. That's working fine for me, and it only cost about 8 bucks.

[Dimnos]

Let me know how that Spectral Force 3 turns out.

I thought you were all gay for Strikers.

[HickMan]

I had the first one for dreamcast and then Immortal Goat bought the gamecube one because Link was in it :rolleyes

I never played 3 and I can't imagine this one is all that amazing

[Zomboid]

fuck, could you shut up about "immortal goat" already? :rolleyes

[Tadao]

I heard he Immortal Goat got married dressed as a storm trooper and now lives with a crazy cult.

[Guitar Woman]

I thought you were all gay for Strikers.
we hate it, too

You are correct! AND I WILL MENTION MY BROTHER EVERY CHANCE I GET NOW, ZOMBOID

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

So, has anyone actually played it yet? I'm interested in the Tower of Lost Souls mode.

[Zomboid]

BY BROTHER DO YOU MEAN DIMEBAG OR YOUR FAGGY SIBLING?

[Hangie]

Only got through the story mode on about 8 characters last night. Story mode only has a total of 5 stages but in some of those stages you can fight up to 4 guys back to back. Yoda i must say is a little overpowered. Overall the battle system is about the same as 3. Gear in this game can modify your stats (Hit Points, Defense, and Attack power) and gives you extra points to equip charm type items that will let you turn invisible, increased attack speed, drain life, etc. Im going to work on the Tower tonight then probally online to test my mettle online.

[MarioRPG]

Ohhhh. I Thought this was for like, Sim City 4 and was generally confused. I might rent it, just to sort of go through the motions. I get bored of fighting games fast, though.

[executioneer]

i can't begin to imagine why anyone would be interested in a game series that has become so lame they just decided to throw in popular characters seemingly at random

what, was cloud strife/sephiroth not available, guys

[HickMan]

RIP BRAH, RIP

[Angryhydralisk]

The Original Soul Calibur's still my favorite of the bunch. And as far as gimmicky secret characters, Darth Vader would be the way to go, albeit an expensive way, but a way no-less.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I played 4 last night. I didn't like Vader though, he seemed really sluggish.

[executioneer]

The Original Soul Calibur's still my favorite

do you mean Soul Blade or are you talking about its sequel

cause sc ain't the original

[Fathom Zero]

Soul Edge was the cabinet, Soul Blade was on the Playstation.

[executioneer]

yes fine but that's at least the same game basically you know what i meant

[Zomboid]

Whoa, easy there GW :rolleyes

[executioneer]

soul edge and soul blade are the same game you jerk >: the jap psx version was called soul edge, the euro/us version was soul blade

i'm talking about people forgetting an entire game and you're giving me shit about naming semantics? what the fuck ev

[Zomboid]

Whoa, easy there GW :rolleyes:

[executioneer]

zomboid i swear to god i will buy a wii and pretend to like it

don't push me

[Zomboid]

You can just have mine, buddy :(

[Sam]

Whoa, easy there GW :rolleyes

[Nick]

I like where this thread went.

[executioneer]

i like that sam is using his designated emoticon

I have never, ever played a Soul Calibur game.

At a friend's house last night I played against four or five people that played the previous Soul Caliburs with some relative frequency, including a girl who was reportedly really really good with Xianghou (??). I used Raphael under recommendation from a friend that he was enough of an asshole that I would enjoy playing as him because I love playing as arrogant douchebags in fighting games.

I either button-mashed or did a forward-forward-vertical attack that made him exclaim "TIME TO PERISH," every single match, and I didn't lose once.

I mean, what the fuck? I understand it's a new game but theoretically some fundamentals should carry over and theoretically a block-and-counterpunch stratagem shouldn't be utterly flawless. The game feels like a giant joke I'm not in on, which makes me feel like I'm the one the joke is on, which makes me angry.

[Guitar Woman]

No, Soul Calibur can always be won against another person by Irish Stepdancing on your controller, using the same bullshit combo over and over again, or blocking the other guy's attack and hitting them once, then going back to blocking.

It's really infuriating after you've spent 12 hours kicking the AI's ass and thinking you are HOT SHIT for it, since that part of the game is really, really hard, and then getting destroyed by a 5 year old's tactics of spamming throws for 15 seconds. All other fighting games are fundamentally flawed like this, but Soul Calibur takes the fucking cake, no question.

[Chojin]

Yeah, SC is one of those games that the more you play, the worse you get at it :<

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

It has a reverse learning curve.

[MattJack]

zomboid i swear to god i will buy a wii and pretend to like it

don't push me

:lol

I <3 u so much man


Yeah, SC is one of those games that the more you play, the worse you get at it :<


AMEN!

That's the truth. I was at a party not too long ago and some guys were playing it. I gave it a go (never had played SC before) and beat that ass. So much so that I was called a fag as well as hearing, "Anyone who does the same move over and over MattJack, sucks at this game."

So after making short work with those guys I started getting down the buttons and moves. After I got down that, my buddy's g/f came over and beat my ass. She had never played before and that's when it all became full circle for me :(

To win, the game just requires you to roll your face on the controller rly

[Schimid]

It all just seems like some bizarre pyramid scheme. You play the game at a friend's house, find out you're really good at it, buy it yourself, learn EVERYTHING, get beaten by someone who later goes out and buys it.

There's something about 3D fighting games that gives such power to the player with the lesser experience.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

For DOA2 I used to get bored and play my hands against my feet. I feel like my hands beat feet 6-4 outa 10.

[RPGmaker]

Finished off the Tower (acending) last night .... I think i have a $60 paperweight, As a matter of fact i do. The apprentice character (The main character from The Force Unleashed) cheap as hell. His design in the game is not for the combo savy players just the button mashers :(. I really likes the Character creation system and how the gear / weapons helped or hindered the character. This game just has zero replay value. Oh well live and learn going to start Spectral Force 3 tonight, looks like a Brigidine / Shining Force 2 hybrid so i hope it plays well.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Just played it for 360 last night. Yoda needs to not be in this game. You can't grab him and a lot of moves go right over his head.
