Soul Calibur 5 Official Discussion

I don’t need to “read on internet” when I saw some things with my own eyes, thanks.

You’ll need to try harder than that if you want to “defend your community”. Peace out.

I kind of migrated from 8WR to here I was sorta kind of known not really around there as a Siegfried player who did pretty good online but now i’m here /shrug but had no real challenge on a local level.

I’m hoping for some Lizardman gameplay soon I wonder if they added anything to crawling stance which is a mixup god to me.

Lol @ Namco withholding a completed character for DLC

Ezio might be the one that fits in the most, but Link was probably the most hype guest.

lmao, people wanting to ban characters for being dlc are just dumb

Game trailers has some breakdowns for ZWEI, Viola and Ezio



It’s just a temp ban till he’s off PO exclusive.

Just some thoughts…

  • Excited for Raphael returning. Here’s hoping they gave him all the moves/evades he was missing from IV, because he was way too boring in that game compared to the earlier installments. Don’t like how his art looks more sinister than his actual ingame model, though.

  • The Nightmare will never motherfuckin’ end! And the new design for him is sick (like a hybrid of the SCII/SCIV, but with all the good aspects). Very glad the ‘Sophmare’ speculation has been put to rest…

  • Ezio is a really good choice, and unlike SW characters I’m not alienated by his prescence in the SC universe. I don’t like how guest characters overshadow what is essentially one of the most diverse/colorful casts ever in a 3D fighting game (hell, I’ll go as far as to say any fighter for that matter).

  • Damp is too cool to just be a pre-order DLC. Dude’s quirky, but in a way where it’s impossible to hate him.

  • Stages are already leagues ahead of those in IV.

Was gonna post these. Well, here’s an interview, story, ubisoft, etc

You must’ve missed the part where he’s exclusive to those who pre-order.

Viola looks awesome, definitely interested in her the most out of everyone right now.

well, if that its the case then it makes sense
as long as when he becomes avaible for the rest he becomes tournament legal then its ok to ban him

Viola will be my second main for sure.
Place the orb anywhere? Godlike.

And there is also a gameplay video of Leixia vs Viola:

Oh my and she was computer controlled? She’s gonna be whipping the orb around to make unsafe things safe for frame traps. She’s going to be sick!

If this game has a storymode thats on the same tier as MK9 i might have a hypegasm.

A fighting game that i like with a badass story mode, it might be too much to handle.

I was just reading arguments in the comments of that video about if Voila is Amy and realized that I stopped caring about the story with SC3 saying Nightmare can make his own body and doesn’t need a host.

God that game was just a horrible thing to happen to the entire franchise.

I need to calm down, because I’m really hyped now lol. Viola looks sooo cool.

Yeah. Well I guess it will be better than SCIV story mode at least, because they have another developer team who work entirely on the story mode.

Man can’t wait to jan 31st!

Thank you for kindly pointing me in the direction of some Leixia goodness… :3

Leixia is looking pretty similar to her mother, if not slightly on the slow side. Glad to see 44B (backstep into stab), 6K and 66K, 1BB, 66B (I’m assuming the second B and the auto-GI backstep are still there), 6A+B, 4A+B with auto GI, 1A+B (I’m hoping you can still hold it to go to ground and throw a tantrum), sidestep B and K moves, Great Wall, 6B eye-poke, A+B charge move (looks faster actually) and other X mainstays.

I’m noticing a few changes as well (as expected), like AAB, what looks to be her BB, a new double-kick move, and what seems to be a new follow up to 4A+B, amongst other things. Apparently, she also doesn’t have Xianghua’s stances from SCIV, which is a shame but it means they can give her a bit more focus on being the quick and tricky hit-and-run character she’s known for.

Also, rising 3B launcher into Critical Edge (around 3:38) and sidestep B launcher into Critical Edge (around 5:30) were so boss. I’m guessing everyone will have similar things into their CEs…

Can’t wait to mess around with her and discover new things. I initially didn’t like SCIV X but I eventually came around and even began to love her changes, especially her stance shenanigans. Hopefully this’ll be the case with Leixia…

…and yeah, Viola is looking proper annoying to fight against… o_o That orb… Don’t let go of block, you ain’t gonna be safe from her strings just yet…

O-O~

PS - Goodness, Leixia’s voice is kinda annoying… :S

An entirely separate team (CyberConnect) is doing the story mode so the main team can focus on design and balance. From what I’ve heard, they know what they’re doing.
