Soul Calibur 5 Official Discussion

Gotta realize that the slow, huge range dudes are popular at first because no one knows how to react to mix-ups,
But I seriously think Pat has high tier potential, dude does great damage, can counter really fast, and his CE is juggleable and causes the opponent to go flying really far. Low kick is an excellent move stopper as well,

This 100% People are getting scrubbed by nightmare’s 1A GSK BE non-stop. I’ve been a mitsu user since forever, but I’m getting more success with nightmare becuase no one knows how to block or punish me.

Good to hear bro! lol How are you dealing with Xiba spam?

I’m going to first to five you later, Cervantes needs revenge for that bullshit Phyrra super lol.

When her critical edge hits during a juggle you have to follow up with DNS B(236236B). Save your meter for her Critical Edge, her Brave Edge attacks aren’t natural combos.

She’s a strong character, but she’s not a mixup character. You need to know your opponent’s moveset, have fast reactions, know when to punish your opponent, and have good pressure and spacing to be effective with her. She’s not a difficult character, but she’s by no means a win button.

Is Algol friggin strong or is it just me?

LOL let the misinformation begin…

That’s NOT an infinite, this is easily techable according to Filthierich.

He’s Algolrific, but yes I hear he is strong. Hopefully the community doesn’t deem him OP/Broke since I want to shoot laser balls sometimes.

What are some good options for Raph when he knocks a dudes face to the ground?

We know, it said this when it came up on the SRK homepage not long after this was posted.

Who is the new Talim then? I’ve barely had any time with the game so far but I have quickly gone through all of the initially available characters in training mode and this was the first thing that struck me as missing. I haven’t played Soul Calibur since 2 but I thought she was the most fun character back then. Not trying to be a smartass here but if there actually is a replacement for Talim I honestly want to know.

Lol. Yeah. Critical edge damage and combo potential is pretty dumb right now. Sweep into CE = The new hotness lol.

Talim, Seung-Mina, Hwang/Yun-Seung, Rock, Zasalamel…should I go on?

See Ass.

I mean C-Ass.

I mean Cass.

Hybrid Casitia doesn’t count.

All of my mains are gone.

AND all of their styles.

All 5.

Fuck this turgid pile of mimic shit.

Sent from reality, using LolWtfIsThisShitTalk.

Oh, well that does work, but the timing is tight. Unfortunately, it still does less damage than a launch into super with normal Phyrra.

I guess I’ll take that as “there isn’t one” :). Oh well, I’m finding Raph, Leixia, and ZWEI to be pretty fun anyway. I wish I knew more about this game (like I said I’ve had barely any time with it, and right now I’m at work so can’t get to more in-depth testing)… Are juggles legit combos or is there a way to tech out of them or influence the direction of the juggle? If these juggles I’m finding are actually legit then Leixia does pretty big damage really really easy.

Haven’t bought the game yet but I’m planning to today. Never really played SC other than 2 and in that game I used Nightmare and Assassin. I think in 5 Nightmare will still be my favorite however I’m liking Hilde. One reason I think I’m starting to be a fan of Hilde is because her character design reminds me of Ma Chao, one of the characters I used in the Dynasty Warriors Series. Z.W.E.I looks pretty cool too.

Enjoying the game so far since I’ve got it.

Started out playing with Yoshimitsu and Devil Jin day 1, but as of right now, I’ll be maning Leixia.

Sad that Talim, Zasalamel, Seung-Mina, and Yun-Seung are not in the game. Talim was my main since SCII. :frowning:

On another note, Hwang’s in the game, just not his fighting style. You are able to fight Hwang via Quick Play and filtering it though Asia/Japan opponents. You’ll find him after enough time looking for more players.

Which you can also find MCZ Kayane and koo_j via Quick Play.

EDIT

I’m sure that I can find it online somewhere, but I’ll ask here :

How do you unlock Algol?

I lost my shit when I read this

If you mean regular, non-Alpha Pat, then you’re correct and awesome

OPrah is one of my worst matchups, you’d stomp me for free

Alpha Pat is pretty damn good, dude.
