And one more thing… re-reading what you said you kinda insinuated that people who want back certain characters are somehow crybabies and wrong for wanting that.
Well yea, people are going to bitch about you taking out Taki if you are just going to replace her with a woman that looks exactly like Taki with blonde hair and a gimped Taki movelist. They could have left her in if they were just going to do that.
You replace Kilik with a clone, and then you make Kilik the skin of the random select icon. So you can pick Kilik, but the round starts and he has Voldo’s movelist. Why?
Or lets talk about how they give Seung Mina the shit end of the stick. They took Mina’s moveset and gave it to Kilik in SC1, then slowly started changing Mina to be the new character when she was the original character. Then kill her off completely canonically and now gameplay wise, and then you say SC fans whine too much. Its just ridiculous. I’ve never seen so much DIS-fanservice in a series ever.
Dont just completely take away your most popular characters. Talim without a doubt, most popular new character in Soul Calibur 2. Now shes gone. Zasalamel, best new addition to SC3, completely gone. Zas and Talim didnt even get clones they just dont exist. Its like Project Soul doesnt care. Setsuka, great character design, american born blonde haired assassin living in Japan…they scrap all that just to give her moveset to a character that already exists?
Thats like having Ryu, Ken, Evil Ryu and Evil Ken on the player select, only Evil Ryu and Evil Ken actually have Akuma and Gouken movesets.
Theres nothing wrong with introducing new blood to a series all series need it but Soul Calibur V was executed so poorly that theres no question in my mind why the series fell off and why every Soul title completely dies outside of the beehive within a matter of months.
All of that was in SCII that you just complained about if you stuck with the game for it’s whole lifetime. And if it was your main game for 13 years you’re showing a massive gap in your knowledge. SCIII also had the VC glitch which killed it ontop of terrible character balance and being a glitchy mess.
SC has died “outside of the beehive” as you put it because every game after II was bad III or had really dumb stuff working against it IV and when we finally finally FINALLY have a decent new game that is pretty solid, all the bitching of “BUT MY NOSTALGIA” on top of people not even in the SC community doing everything they can to sabotage it killed all traction it got.
You have so much trouble reading. I didnt say I played a single game for 13 years I thought it was implied that the series was my main game for 13 years. You wouldnt assume someone whos been a SF player for 20 years only plays SFII.
And no all of that was not in SC2 its like you didnt read a thing. SC2 didnt remove iconic characters and replace them with weak variations. They brought in new characters while making them their own unique blend of something old and something new.
SC3 was not “BAD” it was flawed. SC4 was not “BAD” it was flawed, my point is they are getting progressively worse and worse so START with the foundation of your best game and work from there. This isnt a novel concept. Tekken 5 went pre-Tekken 4 and look where it got them, each Tekken is better than the last. Guilty Gear Xrd is starting with #R but moving towards making the character whole versions. This is lost in the calibur series. They didnt even have playtesting for SC 3 4 or 5.
SC3 was very fun, if you didnt play Talim. I actually enjoyed vs Cassandra, but Sophitia really shit the bed.
Zasalamel also had his 66BB mid/low string that launched on counter hit, could be DELAYED and had a mid/mid 66B,K variation. YOu could make people scared just to block 66B. 66B…run up throw. 66B unblockable~cancel, sidestep kill. Ugh. So much funnnn
AND THEY TOOK THAT SHIT OUT.
So stupid. If it was a capcom game people would have raged forever.
Holy fuck, everything you post is just a stream of words that comes together to piss me off. It serves no purpose.
I can’t tolerate it anymore, I have to say something. I don’t even care if you’re right or if I agree (because SC: Lost Swords is probably going to be lousy), just SHUT UP.
Looking forward to this experiment, hope the paywall isn’t insane and I hope their token system from Tekken R is tweaked if they reuse it.
Also the load times are interesting, because they’re just long enough to be annoying but feel too short to really complain about (imo).
Almost as if you’re meant to have someone beside you to talk with or you check twitter.
