Soul Calibur 5 Official Discussion

I’m guessing the armour break will be a Main part of the Special Battle, personally I think the only way for soul calibur to become a huge success is through Special mode, and if that happens that would open up a whole new wave of fighting game possibilities

here’s hoping this actually happens through balancing via online updates. :wonder:

Awesome news!
Cant wait to rock Tira online.

Link to Viola gameplay?

Really? How about because change is good? Or that three new different composers can bring more to the table? I liked SC4 OST, too, but maybe the previous guys are running out of ideas?

I was confused, Hiroki Kikuta worked on Koudelka and Secret of Mana.

Question: Pyrrha’s A+B throw seems to work slightly differently on female opponents.

(Compare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W13TE4_pWmc (at 0:55) to http://n4g.com/news/811180/15-minutes-of-soulcalibur-v-footage (at around 8:21))

Will this affect her oki set-ups off of this throw, or am I just being paranoid. >_>

I hope they will be using Vader’s and Starkiller’s styles for SC5

I’m looking forward to who the guest character will be! It should be from Namco’s other series. Isn’t CC2 collaborating for the game too? :slight_smile:

Not all change is good, or necessary.

I heard they would be announced soon.

Isnt it like in a month?

CyberConnect2 is working on the animations/story mode which will include 3D cut scenes which is a huge plus because of how great the story modes in the recent Naruto games are. You also have CIA and Forcewick Sound Design collaborating on the sound effects and music score.

Also, according to IGN, the guest character will be announced in a month’s time.

Viola is sex. finally an interesting new (or revamped old?) character.
I’ll probably stick to Ivy/Tira in the end but she looks interesting, the ghetto Soul Satellite is probably gonna have lots of gimmicks with it lol

Awesome! I’m hoping it wouldn’t be the way they handled “exclusives” with SCIV

Daishi says:
It’s still undecided if we’re going to release DCL characters. We might if we get a lot of requests for them :wink:

Well, I’m all for it if that means Hwang has even the slightest chance to return. So long as we aren’t buying stuff already on disc.

PS: Hwang fans, go to my signature for a petition(s) you can sign if you’d like him back. That’d make me happy. =)

They already mentioned that that won’t happen again.

Awesome! I never knew they were considering DLC characters, I’m hoping they’d go the Mortal Kombat (9) route
Is it just me or does the SCV narrator voice kinda remind me of the one from MK?

I’m really loving the announcer for SC5. He reminds me of the one from MK when he says fight at the start of a round.

I’m also loving this video from some people who actually know what they’re doing.

Lol armor breaking.

If it had gameplay reasons, like falling off or partially breaking mid match like battle damage, cool. Even better if it related to where you’re getting hit a lot at, like leg armor breaking off from getting hit there too much, sweet.

Just falling off after the rounds, meh.

I’d rather none of that though.

Also, looks like you get some meter for losing the round.

The life bar doesn’t stop flashing between rounds?They really don’t like blocking.

Zwei looks great.

That’s what I thought too! Makes me wanna get MK9 now xD

When did they add the combo counter, stun, counter, etc. stuff to under the life bar?
