Soul Calibur for Dreamcast was the best and still the best:wgrin:
Amen.
Give me back my decent Yeunsung and I’m cool. You can’t exactly expect much from Namco these days.
Yunsung wasnt good in SC 2 either, he was the worst character in the game.
Why are companies even trying after VF5 is already out?
'cause VF doesn’t sell in the US.
Wii spin off? As far as the franchise is concerned, i was kind ashocked the third one was a ps exclusive.
On the other hand, let me guess, cervantes is gonna be a hidden character or rather an unlockable one.
Other than that, that’s cool i guess, more than anything im kinda surprised people in these boards like that game.
Probably has something to do with the COMPLETE and UTTER irrelevance of Virtua Fighter in general.
Devs keep trying because shovelware like mortal kombat and animu fighters sell better than VF in US.
He’s been lackluster as of late, which is sad because I like his personality and determination.
Come back…five year.
- The Wii one doesn’t look half bad. Not as stupid as MK does on it. Motion fatalities and Victor Lucas == automatic YOU LOSE.
Think the VF 5 Rev. C would bring any type of change to the market in terms of actual sales?
…that went well.
Not if most people didn’t pay attention to Rev. A or B
I hope they work more on the A.I. this time. I LOVED SC3’s atmosphere, story, and gameplay, but I hated the A.I. I always used Siegfried, and it annoyed me that I had to rely on B,down+A all the time because it was the only thing the comp wouldn’t GI. Oh, and I hope they keep Siegfried and Nightmare as seperate characters.
I just hope that the next game builds on SC2 and not SC3. Reducing the overall movecounts for just about every character, revamping several (nearly all for the worse).
SC3 had some neat ideas, different throw breaks, JI, etc. but the rushjob that namco did with it really really hurt it.
I guess what I’d really like is the general feel from dreamcast SC1 with some of the features from SC2 (namely the Soul Charge system) with some of the ideas from SC3. though, I’d like it done right and not rushed.
Can’t expect too much from Namco these days, though.
He was straight mid in SC3C and definately playable in AE, so i’m not getting this whole ‘lackluster’ comment especially compared to his debut in 2. 
True. I wish games sold because they were good, but that would be in a perfect world.
If anyone thinks SC4 is gonna be good is simply deluding themselves.
“Define Good” - something intuitive and makes good use of the way it was designed.
also true but that goes for any fighting game, that isn’t MK.
I’m not hating on Soul Calibur I respect the game and their community, but I always thought the engine was boring. And u would think the game was balanced atleast but nightmare and mitsurigi dominate. Hopefully soul calibur 4 turns out good. But if 2 & 3 did not impress me I doubt 4 will. I am kinda on the same page as WasFemto. The only thing that is for sure is good graphics. But none the less as long as fighters come out and not first person shooters I can’t complain.
Mitsu and Nightmare did not dominate in 2 or 3.
In 2, almost every character was decent.
In 3, X, Soph, and Cass dominate pretty much.
Nope. Xianghua, Sophie, Asta are top 3 undisputed in SC3 console.
And, will someone please tell me why is Cass top? Because it seems no one can even answer that question properly. Sophie is overall much better and plus to be good with Cass, you gotta work for it.
Anyone?
As for SC4, me and another player showed everyone how broke SC3 was (as well as Xianghua since everyone thought she sucked at first) at the first major SC3 tourney. We look foward to doing it again in SC4.
While Mick’s Cass is insane, I wouldn’t put her in top either. I wouldn’t put Asta in either, but that’s a different story. I’d really put Mitsu in top three. He’s got the most broken, and practical, VC in the game, plus, IIR, a Mitsu won nationals (if you can call it that). Nightmare, though, is nowhere near the top.
but before this turns into a tier discussion…
it took the community one week to find VC. people expected something like that because of 2G and Namco did not disappoint :arazz:. Let’s see how quick the community finds Namco’s newest surprise in SC4
