Soul Calibur V coming? (aka: My Japanese sucks)

Or maybe… it could be “[media=youtube]uzNJwk9Z4ds”[/media]"

So, the developer, despite joining the team during the series “downfall” can he be trusted to recreate the series? What exactly was his contributions to Soul Calibur 4 and 3?

This. 3 might have been good had it not been for some serious glitch and balance issues, and 4 was basically the same issue. If they want to just make it a casual fighter with odd modes and create a character, fine. If they want it to be competitive, fine. This attempting to do both and failing thing just isn’t helping though.

That said if i recall even SC2 wasn’t that well balanced(I want to say that X, cerv, and ivy ruled with an iron fist, but i could be wrong.) so maybe it should just be more like MK and less like anything else.

If they get rid of the create-a-soul feature, the game will be good.

Will only consider buying if both Nightmare’s sword and Ivy’s tits get even bigger

Only two types of games: playable and unplayable. Where there’s variety, true balance can never be achieved.

more important buff that i want for her, real talk

there are some games that have been really close to it

I’ve seen this vid like 900 times. and I still bust like 900 nutz every fucking time i see it.

so gdlk. :woot:

this is getting srk’media’ed

credit will be made due

no no no no

Let the fucking series die. This is coming from a person who was a HUGE fan of SC1 in the arcade and on the Dreamcast. I can’t believe they re-hired the asshole(s) who fucked up the series with SC3 & SC4. I swear the series got worse with each release after SC1. SC2 was fun when I played it during it’s early days, but 3 and 4 were stupidity. Namco stop this shit immediately. It’s like watching the the Robocop movies become progressively worse with each sequel. All SC5 needs is Mitsurugi flying around with a rocket pack and a little girl in his arms.

Shit, dude. It better not disappoint… Soul Calibur II is what got me into fighting games. III and IV made me super sadangry, for reals. The voice acting and gameplay just got worse and worse from then on. :expressionless:

the action needs to be fun and exciting. Nice open stages…none of that hilde 50ft ring out bullshit. And none of that tiny ass stage garbage. Fuck the instant KO trash…armor damage is alright, leave it

music in Sc4 was a disappointment. Aside from a few tracks (the chain of souls menu for example), that shit was lacking.

This dude knows what he is talking about. Good stuff.

How would that affect anything? If you’re playing competitively, aren’t C-A-S characters banned?

(I say this based on a few SC4 Con tournaments I’ve been in, but I have to admit, the person who normally is on staff for multiple cons to run tournaments is a bit of a jackass with the rules. He’ll be reasonable, and then go with some batshit rules that have no effect on the actual gameplay.)

yeah CAS has always been banned. but normal character costume changes are fine, because they don’t alter the game play. CAS does.

CAS is just an ass features that takes away development time from other stuff they could be making better.

I liked Spawn in SC2.

Yeah, creating custom characters just clutters the game up with crap that’s not required for a good fight game. The state of SCIV is such a shallow unbalanced mess that’d it’d be served better by a smaller roster. No guest characters please. Even if they’re just palette swaps, it’s just a waste of resources.

that’s what i hate about online with SC4. I agree nomore CAS, now Tekken and VF customize is good

Man, screw you both. CAS is at least a third of what I like about the newer SC games. That said, after getting into pro wrestling games, the CAS system in IV looks real weak in comparison to Fire Pro R and SvR11’s CAW systems, lol.

You know what does need to get the hell out of SCV? SCIV’s grade F---- netcode. Bamco has already decided to put GGPO in a Dragonball Z fighter, which is cool, but if they don’t implement it for this game and Tekken Tag 2, then Bamco will have decided to go full special.

Show me some Tira along with that and they’ve sealed the deal.

Can’t wait to see the new attires. SoulCalibur has the best designed characters in all of fighting games. Yeah, love the big boobs as well. CAS should stay, but they need to take cues from other similar offerings. I should be able to adjust height and weight as well, so I can make kid characters.

Since that sort of thing would affect gameplay (a Talim sized character with Kilik’s moves lol), I think an option to omit created characters would be nice. I have to say CAS was also half the fun for me, and I liked seeing other people’s creations. Some characters I made I hold in higher regard than the cast, but I digress. I would be disappointed to see CAS dropped.

What could drop is guest characters, though. Rather have more original characters and movesets than Cloud Strife.
