I’m glad my essay posts have inspired u Phil. :tup: :lol: I still do believe we’re the only crazy fuck-tards that post up in a long-winded manner. :lol:
Sado, SB3 is on like Donkey Kong! I wouldn’t miss that shit either! :tup:
Luke, I didn’t know u lived in Mt. Healthy. Whenever we have shit going down @ Derrick’s place next time, I’ll giveya a call bro. :tup:
So yeah…I bought SC4 late last night around 2:00 am b/c it is the shiznite! It’s a whole lot of fuckin’ fun. If u haven’t had the chance 2 pick it up & or play it yet, I suggest u hop on that shit, b/c it is pretty cool.
My thoughts on SC4 so far:
It’s way fuckin’ better than SC3, that’s for damn sure!
I’m liking some of the newer characters in the game. Hilde is pretty freakin’ sweet! It looks like Darth Vader, Yoda, & The Apprentice are very fuckin’ solid. I’m pretty sure that they’ll be banned from tournies, especially Yoda. All high hits do not hit him & u can’t grab him whatsoever. All their Force moves seem really fuckin’ good too. I haven’t play it enough yet to see if the shit is broke or not.
As far as movement is concerned, it is a lil’ stiff in terms of the 8-Way run, but @ least it’s not like SC3 where it moved exactly like Tekken 5 or DR. Good job Namco. I like the way Tekken moves, but u need Soul Calibur movement in Soul Calibur, not Tekken movement in Soul Calibur.
The backgrounds look really good graphically, & the character designs are best I’ve seen. There’s a whole lot of detail in each character design. The chicks look really good in the game too. :tup:
The Create a Character is pretty sweet as well. U have a shit-load of details u can work on w/ ur characters. Pretty snazzy if I do say so myself. :tup:
A new feature to the game is the armor breaking aspect. Definately a feature that favors a more offensive-oriented approach, or much rather, encourages u now more than ever to guard-break.
How this shit works is that u have 3 levels of armor, just like u do attacks: high, mid, & low. If u block a lot in one of those certain areas, ur life bar flashes red. If u block too much, a move that u will block will put u in some type of “critical stun” animation. At this point, whoever just had their armor broke will be vulnerable to the Critical Finish move, where u hit A,B,K,&G all @ the same time to execute a quick finish maneuver, but u have 2 time it right, or else, u won’t be able 2 do it.
It’s a nice lil’ feature. What’s really cool is that this shit ain’t broke, nor does it fuck up the pace of a match-up either. I think it’s definately a nice addition to the series. :tup:
That’s my thoughts for now. I’m voting that this shit is what we play for our side-tourney for the next MNT gathering. It’s really fuckin’ sweet! :tup:
Take it easy & have a good one guys. Peace. :china:
