Ok fine, but at the end of the day they’re just mimics
IV actually had quite a bit more single player content than V. You had arcade mode, story mode (which was like a gimpy arcade mode but gave you an ending for each character), and tower of lost souls which had a mission mode and a survival mode in it. You also had a gallery with character bios and art and stuff. Personally, I’m getting annoyed that games like this and Marvel are coming out with less content than Battle Fantasia. I know that the most important thing is getting the core gameplay down, but it’s 2012; you should be able to at least match the nine-year-old Soul Calibur II in terms of content. Of course, the online modes in this are pretty awesome, so I have to cut it some slack for that.
I personally like unlocking characters, but I understand why people don’t. I think that paying to unlock something that can be unlocked in the game is probably the sleaziest cash grab that I’ve seen through DLC. Honestly, we just need cheat codes. Leave unlockable characters for people that enjoy them and give cheat codes for people that don’t. If it was good enough for F-Zero X, it’s good enough for Soul Calibur.
I highly suggest you pick up the guide, it has ton of VERY useful info.
Can someone PLEASE explain to me how Guard Impact works? I just can’t figure it out. Sometimes the attack just goes straight through, sometimes it does… something, but I don’t understand what.
Can someone make me a Rukia character? :lovin:
Ugh, Cervantes is a pain, playing against him feels like having 25% to 35% less health in the beginning of the match because of his super.
I love Cervantes, but I feel like I rely too much on his 4A+B, the one that makes him teleport back and then charge forward. It’s incredibly unsafe on block. And I use his Brave Edge grab more than his super when I have meter.
OH GOD I MISS THE EVER LOVING FUCK OUT OF DUMB SHIT LIKE THAT.
ESPECIALLY ICE FLOOR VS FRIENDS ON A SMALL STAGE. Smash Calibur
Just got through playing. I love Natsu’s playstyle but I just hate her character design so I just use my ninja Pam Grier with her move set instead. The gane’s netcode is good. I was astounded how many matches I was able to play with my ass connection. Usually it’s like playing underwater or I constantly disconnect. I disconnected a few times, but not a bunch.
I wish there were more people in the Global Colosseum. There’s no one ever in the ATL or Philly lobbies which are the closest to me. Majority of the people are in the New York or LA lobbies so I wind up going to NY’s lobby since that’s the closest one to me.
What do you guys do for the slide commands on the stick? Do you guys do a p-link, actual slide, or something else?
Made a Combo Video. Enjoy.

Seriously, fuck Legendary Souls mode Elysium. I think she might be literally impossible to beat.
The random network error is annoying as hell . Gotta hit the dashboard to get online to work again.
Only seems to happen in global lobbies.
Are these real combos? You can’t mash out of stun, ground tech or DI?
I didn’t test all of the stuns, but the ones I tested were not mashable. Most of my stuns acts as combo starters though, so you could just remove them and use counterhit instead if they’re mashable. The 2nd Z.W.E.I-combo might be avoidable with the right DI, it was really hard to test. Other than that, it should be legit.
Is mashable stun even in the game anymore? I’ve seen no moves with that massive hit-stun you would find on unmashed mash-stuns in SCIV.
Breakable stun is in the game.
Unless I’m being silly, some of them seem like infinite meter combos because they’re using unrealistic amounts of meter.
Know if any of my combos are spoiled by it?
I’m never using more than two bars.
I honestly don’t know. I could test later tonight, but it’ll be like 10-ish. The shakable stun animation is usually the character curling over (like they have stomach pain) and it looks similar to the falling-to-knees stun animation. Though, you can’t always go by looks.
You mean like the Cervantes combo at 2:01?
