I am quite the SC fan, I can’t wait for the release on XLBA.
I was on Guardimpact.com around that time and looking at the ranking project now, I can say the tiers are all wrong.
Nostalgia baby!!!
Rekano well done man, so is the game fairly balanced then. Is everyone able to compete or is this as bad as SC2/SC3 with the tiering issue.
Yes, everybody can compete.
Seung Mina is the weakest one in the game and she still has tools to win. (2A, 1_3A+B, 3B, 22B)
SC1 and SC2 low tiers can compete in tourneys. The gap between top and low isn’t as big as SC3 console where Rock and Tira don’t have a prayer ever to win against Xianghua, Mitsurugi, Astaroth and the rest.
Definitely the best game in the series (though SCII is excellent as well), one of if not the best fighter ever.
Nice, but man getting gi to load from the net archives was such a bitch on my PC. So slloooowww.
SC1 was a game my friends and I could actually enjoy hardcore (and they have a distaste for the fighting genre) so to see them actually playing it back then (when I owned a DC) was truly, epic.
SC2 was good in its own respects too, but SC1 = classic. Its to the soul series what Tekken Tag and ST are to their respective communities. Timeless, Legendary, and Full of Win.
Wow it’s really hard to find any more info on this game…damn. Well at any rate im going to main Yoshi once this game hits XBLA (he’s one of my mains in Tekken). Anybody got any character primers wit him?
Some of the files on gamefaqs has some stuff. The faq for Yoshi listed some old skool “combos” near the end of the document.
What would a SC1 thread be without

^Dance, Voldo, Dance.
SC1 is by far and away the best in the series. It was all downhill trash from there.
That’s true, its such a shame though that there isn’t a wealth of SC1 data around…im tyring gamefaqs but nothing is showing up.
Bump.
Also Hwang is top 5 material IMO. 66 KK rushdown with the cancel is too strong. lolz.
I’m going to have to disagree with ya there. While Soulcalibur is good shit, I don’t think it aged well, and it’s nowhere near the title of ‘best fighter ever.’ I think that in terms of technical brilliance, the best fighter ever is Virtua Fighter, with the Guilty Gear series hot on its heels.
Soul Caliber is one of the best fighters of all time and raised the bar of excellence.
That’s all there is to it.
And it’s easily the best Soul Caliber in the series thus far.
Nice post Rek :woot:
for the record a well paced and knowlegable X will destroy just about anyone. If i remember correctly she, voldo, mitsu, and sophy were the tops. might have left out some.
How do you use the Lizardman Ring-Out From Anywhere glitch?
LOL. Why? Are you that bad you need to use that bullshit?
Thread title = sc1
just askin’, might as well learn some stuff about the game in this thread, I heard some peeps over the Internet say that he breaks the game due to that glitched combo so I wonder how its done
and no I’m a solid Taki player in SC 1 and 2
They’re probably referring to 66B, 4B+K~G, and no it doesn’t break the game. When air controlled properly, it doesn’t RO nearly as far as it initially seems to.
