Soul Calibur 5 Official Discussion

Of course I know that, I frequent 8 way run, Dreamcancel, and Dustloop as well. I’ve been here long enough to know how much this forum is whitewashed in Capcom games, so I get your point. I was just asking around since people here are getting the game early as well. >__>

But yeah, I’ll stop derailing the thread now and frequent the 8 way run forums and wiki for future info.

Calibur games change inputs for moves in just about every iteration. Honestly it’s probably to make it look more like a totally new moveset to novice players who only use a few directional button combinations (forward all day lol) since they’ll only see those few moves. They likely won’t go out of their way to find their old moves, they’ll just assume the character is all new. Whereas for players like us, moves being shifted around is really only a minor inconvenience. We’ll find them again quickly for the most part.

I like SRK being a 1 Stop Shop.

So if you were a fool like me who bought some DLC music for SC4… does that carry over to SC5?? I think I bought Xianghua and Mitsu’s SC1 song.

no problem, im actually sorry for not giving you the benefit of the doubt, but yeah people got that shit early…but it doesnt really fucking matter anymore because the shit drops tuesday(i feel bad for you if your anywhere else but the US) but yeah…its kinda bullshit that their tournaments like 2 days right after though…

im not completely sure if its confirmed but alot of characters do have P3 costumes…some are customizable some are not…like PyrrhaΩ’s is customizable, but im not sure about Nightmares as its his SCIV throwback…

Doubt it, i dont think they are like harmonix and have that shit portable…so you may have to get it again…

but you never know…

Cant wait to try Ezio. Tuesday can’t come faster. I know, I know, I sound like a fanboy. I have actually never played a AC game before. I just feel he will be a really cool character.

then go play 2 and brotherhood…havent played the last one, but hear its rather epic still

Hope everyone enjoyed the stream.

OH NO, There was a stream? I am at work. Hopefully there is a link to watch what I missed on your twitch acct.

For “Soul of” for CAWs, is there a list of what’s selectable besides what info that’s already been released?

Are there opinions on netcode yet? This is important for me. Especially feedback on any input lag.

Arturo Sabin Sanchez says its pretty good and he usually rips games netcodes if it is awful. He can feel it.
Check the front page of SRK, there was an article about Markman/Justin/Arturo playing online. I will check it out in about an hour or so.

Art/Floe/Jwong/Max have all said that the netcode was good

But we’ll only be able to tell once everyone gets on the servers instead of only a few people playing online right now.

Shouldn’t servers not matter once in game, since it’s peer to peer?

IIRC it uses dedicated servers, I hope the netcode doesn’t chance though because it’s looking good right now

360 = Instance p2p
PS3 = Dedicated server.
Always been that way. It matters on both, just in different ways.

Ugh! Why does a fighting game use client-server architecture. Hasn’t Ponder already gone over this. All this does is add an extra layer of lag to sync (client1 to server to client2, unlike P2P which is client1 to client2).

P2P kinda stretches to connection range from slideshow to the virtually the same as offline.
Play just about any game that runs on Caster.
Also, stream’s on. Jin Masters from that one video too.

From what I’m watching, you keep the main part of your armor instead of just blowing up into shirtless/bra and panties now.
