Soul Calibur 5 Official Discussion

Why thank you :smiley:

Based on my (somewhat limited) play time and what others have said, the block stun in SC5 is much greater than in SC4, which had really, really shitty frames to compensate for the Critical Finish mechanic. I believe the basic dynamic now is that verticals do more damage to the guard gauge and generally have better frame advantage, while horizontals are quicker and kill step/quick step. Guard crushes also give frame advantage now, unlike in SC4 where they were often negative on block or even punishable (wtf?!).

What the fuck? Soulcalibur makes sense again? MADNESS

wow there is a lot of bitches here jeez get the game and enjoy it and stfu

I guess you’re okay too, lol.

Dinoz is kinda right. Dinoz is also an angry angry man.

What!!! the last three characters are mimics !!! Fuck that shit, I was planning on using those three characters even though I didnt know who they were gonna be.

I only mained three to four characters in sciv and enjoyed it for two years

He has a point but he’s generalizing just like what’s he’s posting against. It’s not SRK that’s talking about the SCC, but only a few people.

Daaaamn Dinoz.

Japanese fans complaining about SC5 catering to Western audiences. Take a guess why

They are complaining that… the characters aren’t slutty enough? Did I get this right?

Oh Japan you.

How are tournaments going to handle ā€œCreate a fighter onlyā€ styles, like Devil Jin? Is that going to be instantly banned? (Just wanting to know because I’ll probably play Devil Jin if its not)

Really puts complaints about mimics in a positive light,at least it is gameplay oriented. Plus how is Voldo no slutty enough?

Lmfao @ Japan. I love that culture. Guess I’ll wait till the game price drops or maybe I can convince someone to by it for me =)

Um…scroll up?

Everyones arguing, just wanted a definitive yes/no

From what I heard banned, but we’ll see I guess. A lot of it could depend on Tournament Organizers. It seems like a pretty shit situation.

It’d be nice if Namco just put in Devil Jin or some character that uses his moves on the roster. That’d solve everything. Watching Harada play as Djin vs Yoshi, he didn’t even seem overpowered. If anything Yoshi was doing more damage.

So I hear Kilik’s in this game. I was gonna pass up on this because there wasn’t a single character that I used in the previous games in this, now that I have bo staff master Kilik, all is well.

Your Kilik is a mimic character unfortunately.

gotta wonder why the have edge master + 2 other mimic characters…
