Soul Calibur 5 Official Discussion

These are old SC4 sketches. (source: Daishi’s twitter, where these were first shown)

Then there’s the fact that the game takes place 17 years after Soul Calibur 4…

I posted those photos on Facebook this morning. Daishi has been digging for old artwork to share with people, and every once in a while I will upload it to Facebook.

Mimic characters are meant to be a challenge for players to show their proficiency with every character. It actually adds an extra layer of challenge when move properties are altered slightly by the mimic’s height. I remember watching some awesome Edge Master mirror matches back in the day. I don’t see a big deal and I don’t look at it as padding the roster. Mimics are almost always silly characters for a reason.

Recycling move data for other characters otoh (Yoshi/Mitsu, Sophie/Lizard, Sieg/Night etc) is lazy garbage and I don’t care what their fanbase thinks.

Rock better be rock-bottom tier again or I will be mad. I will make a rock out of you. (I’ll make a dan out of you’’ reference lol

YA RLY

I’m not a huge fan myself, but Namco if you HAVE to bring it back: Please, Make it Olcadan.

Rock might be too old for this game. Bangoo on the other hand…

Trailer looks great, this may be the first SC game I’ll buy. :tup:

From what I have seen from the Trailer I have to say "meh"
I’d hope for something revolutionary that gives a new breath of life to the franchise.

Introduce Tekken 4 to 6 to a newbie and ask him what are the differences. This is exactly how I feel about this game.

I’d much rather Edge Master or Charade than Olcadan. That said, I like Mokujin characters because they are basically an in-game random button. Instead of having the same character for multiple rounds from using the Random button, you get a new moveset per round. If I was able, I’d pretty much make it mandatory to have a Mokujin character for every fighter.

Anyone have a link for a legit tier list or what online mode’s gonna be like etc?

No. News will come steadily over time.

Rock/Asta in SC1, too.

I know this is SRK (and more specifically FGD), bus asking for a tier list before the game has come out?

Clearly we’re hiding new info from people. Anyone who has new info needs to spill it quick.

have i missed all the lame starcraft jokes?

SCV ready

Maybe I worded it wrong. I would like to have an idea what characters are gonna be badass before the game releases. I seen AE tier lists back in like March. I thought maybe it would apply to SC5 as well. But fuck a tier list anyways I just wanna know what online’s gonna be like. I wish developers would use the DOA online engine where it records wins/loses and other stats:nunchuck:

Man, get back to us If you find out anything about the online modes. :rofl:

if you want news, pay attention during E3.

I agree, who is asking for a tier list before all characters are out! LMAO

Me. I was drunk last night.:rock:
