Soul Calibur 5 Official Discussion

Yo Joe, I’m very interested in your Ivy and Viola write-ups.
I hope to hear Ivy isn’t boring as shit after losing half of her stances, say it ain’t so Joe say it ain’t so.

I’m liking what I’m hearing about just defend and the other system mechanics.

So, what stores have broken the street date? Anything big (so hopefully we can git dat soul everywhere early), or just little “mom ‘n’ pops” and stores in chinatowns?

I’m with Dinoz here… you guys need to calm down with your ridiculous assumptions.

Not much in-depth discussion is taking place because the general attitude there is to do that stuff when the game comes out. However, I am one of the few that did attempt some in-depth discussion, as you might see in the Xiba boards.

Anyone got some info/videos on Aeon? everyone kinda over looked him so far but I think hes pretty nifty keen and would like to know more.

I’m getting my copy tomorrow from VGNY if any that new york wants one tomorrow call them up.

There’s going to be SC5 stream today (28th).

Casual matches, 64-man single elim tourney and 8-on-8.

Hey guys just picked up a copy already noticing that plinking is possible and useful in this game. Man i forgot how extensive the movesets are.

Got to play SCV today.

Couldn’t check as many EX moves as I wanted too because people were playing to win and I was afraid an EX might have properties that I didn’t expect so I’d get blown up. People not wanting to experiment >.<

Much of the older cast is the same except for stuff like frames, but for some reason they changed inputs on some moves for seemingly no reason.

Supers aren’t invulnerable but they are REALLY fast.

Ezio seems solid but his guns are pretty gimmicky. He has one gun shot that hits low though and will ringout which is a bit annoying, but you can sidewalk them all into a punish so think he’s a bit overhyped at this stage.

Xiba -> Killik. His properties are a bit different, but most of the basic shit is pretty identical. Heard someone say he has a nuetered version of Asura that is still good but didn’t see it myself.

Viola seems like she has a lot of potential and her super is potentially way broken as it’s an aegis that has a massive hitbox and lets you mix them up with 2-3 different moves before they get out. You can’t really guarantee unblockables outside maybe specific situations (it has holes they can 5A out of but as long as you place your mixup in that spot they shouldn’t get out so mixups seem more ideal than unblockables). Definitely will be an advanced character as she has 2 stances, one with the orb and one without. With the orb she has a good deal of frame advantage, but without the orb if you placed it wrong your kinda up shit creek unless she has a move to call it back but only got like 2 games with it and people were playing to win with characters that hadn’t had a lot of change since IV.

Pyyrha. Sophitia but some weird stuff. 6B+K is amazing though linear and she has Just Frame stab that punishes the world. She also seems to have Cassandra’s command grab (did sophie have a command grab in IV? thought it was just cassandra) which is really nice as you can combo whatever you want after it. Also her B grab deals hella damage.

Zwei. Interesting. He is a bit slow but has a lot of frame advantage and pretty safe launchers. He has a stomp that is mid that hits your foot which is way confusing.

Yoshi. Didn’t see any cockpunch but hasn’t changed a lot from IV.

Definitely copping that Soul Blade music, hopefully shops in Aus break street date asap…

Daishi said they wanted to make the game more pad-friendly by removing some multi-button inputs, so maybe thats why.

any work on how the netcode will be for this game? I skipped the SC4 due to there to the slight lag. Something which don’t see in street fighter 4. If this game won’t have the netcode like SF, then I doubt I’ll be getting this. So definitely need to know.

If anyone gets a chance . . .

is Ivy shit, or what? I went to 8wayrun looking for relevant information, and there was hardly anything. I know she is nerfed and all, but my biggest fear is if we have to rely on sword stance the majority of the time, since, from what i’ve gathered, her long range moves are ass now.

They already did that with Tekken 6, so it makes sense.

Sent from reality, using LolWtfIsThisShitTalk.

Man I tell it like it is, I get an infraction. It is what it is. Preppy there is more where that came from so just TRY ME.

How is it that some of you guys have the game and we don’t. Going to go to every Walmart today.

Pretty sure a lot of ppl downloaded that shiz already.

Really?! Really?! People that don’t even want the game?! Trust me if the game leaked online my friend would know so I highly doubt that.

C’mon guys, any news on the netcode? is it just like SC4? or did they improve it?
