Soul Calibur 5 Official Discussion

WTB less ignorant, wannabe '11 posts.

More like mini-Supers and Ex-moves. So far there’s no revenge mechanic (like Ultras) and nothing showed so far deals crazy damage.

they’re prolly gonna pull out something out of the Critical Finish

Doesn’t exist anymore. In its stead is the Critical Edge.
See 3:45 in this vid:

It takes away about 1/4 of your opponents health and requires 1 full bar of meter. Hence why I called them mini-Supers.

step seems like just what I wanted, being able to freely step in and out of attacks. they seem quite confident about it so im expecting this game to be good

also the fact that they said they will be bringing other GENRE’s ideas about online multiplayer makes me say “yes, this is what I expected from you project soul”

and as for Z.W.E.I and his SUMMON!? at the end of the last vid- how comes nobody has mentioned it??

also im gonna make a bold claim here but while looking at Z.W.E.I character art- “ZASALAMEL? IS THAT YOU?” or maybe it’s his son

I kind of hope zas is still in this, or he’s an alternate outfit :lol: he was a true boss like cervantes. I don’t count knightmare as a boss because it’s just soul edge, soul edge had everyones moves :rofl:

as for algol- I don’t like him. it’s fun fighting him, but he feels incomplete

That looks very possible since there was an interview where someone on the Project Soul team said something like “ooh Z.W.E.I means 2 in german, MAYBE THERES A 1?”

A werewolf spirit, no legs, engulfed in blue flames. Where have I seen that before?

Is that sarcasm? If not, Unknown from Tekken Tag Tournament

In the above page you can download many of the voice work for SC4. E for English, J for Japanese. Use them for ring tones or whatever.
I must have either missed it or there were some speeches unused, like the SHOP speeches.

Setsuka’s voice <3

Astaroth is so funny.

Zasalamel always sounds cool.

Possibly Zasalamel reincarnated (I hope not). Maybe an incarnation, but I just hope it’s a new character all together.
Also, where in the hell is Nightmare’s son? :smiley:

The “one” in this case, is the thing that Zwei summons. In the trailer, he distinctly says “come forth, Ein!”. “Ein” in this case, being the German “one”. So, that seemingly explains the naming scheme.

That said, I am glad to be seeing more new faces, this is a “new generation”, after all. A new Taki, and a completely new character in Zwei, I think…I can’t think of a character that uses his style aside from maybe Talim. So far, so good.

Probably the wrong place to mention this but I feel that we need to get people into 3-D fighters competitively.
3-D fighters aren’t even that hype in tourney play. I just wish there were more interest in this.

SC competitively in a state worse than Tekken and that is pretty low. SCIV online was terrible but the game has some competitive value outside of Hilde. MK9 and MvC3 online is bad but competitively they doing alright.

I just wish there were a movement to get alot of people involved in this sort of area,

We’ll see. Daishi has said one of his favorite games is SF3 third strike, and I got some hints from that that SC5 could be the SF3 of the SC series: it’s faster, taunts will have an effect, etc.

Dammit, I can’t find her japanese taunt. The b+k one that starts with “Kono!” (It’s not her GS “Kowai no ka?”) Anybody know the full phrase? That squeaky voice makes it hard to make out the syllables.

Japanese Setsuka’s voice uhh. Make me wanna …

It already looks like SF3. We got EX moves in the “Brave Edge” moves, and supers in the “Critical Edge” moves. Not to mention the overhaul of the cast. Lot of freaks in SF3 though, I hope we don’t see too much of that in SCV.

New “Edge Master” type character will have a Critical Edge that morphs him into your character.

Lizardman
Astaroth
Voldo
Yoshimitsu
Nightmare

I probably forgetting some…

Compared to
Oro
Necro
Twelve

lol

@K4polo
I think that’s what they’re aiming for in SCV; to finally get that community going.
They’ve reinvented all the things that people loved in other Soul Calibur games to make this one more competitive.
I mean the 8-way-run looks amazing along with the new brave edge.
Only thing I was worried about is this new Critical Edge. Online play most of the time was alright in SCIV, but now it seems like its going to be downright scary as shit.

Dont forget the parries too. Fuck it put Urien in the game.

When thinking about it it may not be so bad. You can compare to Tekken where u got launched with rage or something. Not too mention most are probably blockable or scale in a combo.
