Ivy is a big girl with very big bones.

It’s missing SCV Astaroth. Itazan had a sick Astaroth ni SCV.

I’m officially a platinum fraud Thank you to all the Gold Akuma players that end their block strings with demon flip, without them, this would not be possible.

Sc2 Asta FTW. I mained Hwang in sc1 and yunsung in sc2. Also always subbed Siegfried and nightmare, will probably main them or a hwang/yunsung variant that hopefully is more hwang than yunsungs wackass.

With sc6 coming out I wish I still lived in Cali with the best sc2 players out there. My peeps already hitting me up on FB about an sc Renaissance/ get together at next years evo. If the game is good and has a good GI system and good 8wr evasion like sc2 I’ll play it. If not and it still plays like tekken with swords, I’m dropping that shit with no hesitation.

SC2 was fun. Never took Soul Calibur seriously though, I might try that with SC6.

At least if my girl Cassandra is still in. Otherwise I might try Siegfried or Mitsurugi again, but SC2 Cassandra was very much my kind of character.

Or if there’s someone actually UNGA in the game. I might just want to learn someone who has an actual autopilot once, so that I don’t actually have to get good at the game to win.

PS: if that whiny bitch Pyrrha is back instead of Cass I’ll punch someone.

I take it you haven’t seen SC6’s GI system…

Evil_Canadian · August 23, 2018, 2:30pm

huh, sc6 has a smart GI system.

GI is GI like you remember

if you whiff it though the penalty is now you take a big hit to your guard guage, making you more likely to get guard broken, so no spamming it.

FengShuiEnergy · August 23, 2018, 2:32pm

I mean in that GI covers all options. There’s no high low GI’s anymore.

Evil_Canadian · August 23, 2018, 2:35pm

Thats fine far as I am concerned, the risk for whiffing a GI is now exponentially higher.

I was always a Kolin main

Willseless_Again · August 23, 2018, 2:39pm

@Evil_Canadian will you be able to make an actual monkey CAC? That would be fun.

FengShuiEnergy · August 23, 2018, 2:42pm

Insightful post.

Evil_Canadian · August 23, 2018, 2:53pm

That’s the dream. Any good create a character suite in any video game should at least have a gorilla mask.

GOAT Soul Calibur is SC3.

Y’all are trash for not acknowledging The Gawd game.

Evil_Canadian · August 23, 2018, 3:11pm

SC3 isn’t SC5, that’s about the best I can say about it.

Naeras · August 23, 2018, 3:14pm

Never played SC3, though I’ve heard it’s supposed to be good.

But SC3 didn’t have Link or Heihachi, shit game 0/10

Pertho · August 23, 2018, 3:32pm

SC5 is great too. So far there’s only been one actual SC player that could give me legitimate gripes about the game. Everybody else is on the “well it isnt SC2” trip

I didnt like the parry system since it you already have GIs. Redundant system for the sake of it. Outside of that though the game is hella fun. EX moves were hella cool. Only issue with them was certain characters only having access to basic things through EX i.e. one of Mitsu’s strings.

The real glaring issue was the game having its dev time cut. Taking that into consideration they still put out a solid game.

Akhos · August 23, 2018, 4:10pm

Soul Calibur III and IV were slow, boring and just not very fun

V was a decent step, EX meter was fun, but I absolutely hated that parries costed meter, supers don’t fit in SC and the cast was absolute garbage. Doesn’t help that my main Z.W.E.I was awful and then they nerfed him anyway

Pertho · August 23, 2018, 4:12pm

Soul Calibur III

Slow

Pick one and only one.
