Soul Calibur V (360/PS3)

Tira is pretty hard character to learn. You pretty much have to learn 2 characters at once. I think learning to play her would be worth it in the end. Some of her moves are pretty damn cool.

I am still having problems to do critical edges. It only works like 70% of the time. It can be annoying. I am not sure why, it should be really easy.

Oh come on, it's just a stance. You'll probably learn to work it in to strings and stuff.

Just confirmed my suspicions. Switched over from DJ and Nightmare to Mitsurugi...i think i lost like 1 or 2 matches in 10. Oops, all of a sudden i can spam like a retarded monkey too, natsu can now officially fuck right off :P

It doesn't change the fact that moves are different and combos depending on which mood she is. It's not just simple stance like Mitsu's is.

Yeah, but it's not THAT complex either :P

I am not completely sure why she changes the mood. Sometimes when she gets hit or hit's someone, she changes the mood. Some moves change it always and some seem more random. Fucking Steam is down too, so I can't ask Grift to look from his fancy guide either :P

Well at least I have something to do tomorrow!

I was messing around with Hilde a bit last night.. she seems pretty damn tricky. Her A and B attacks can both charge (in 1, 2, 3, and 15 second increments), so you have to manage charging while throwing out other attacks with the remaining attack buttons. Her more complicated combos also seem, well, more complicated than most. Every big combo the guide has (note--not the training mode combos) has multiple cancels in it. I don't think I can even start to hammer them out without actually seeing them to figure out that timing.

So, off to Yoshimitsu I go. He seems like a pretty brutal dude too :D

Pyrrha will remain my main, I just want a strong second (not counting Omega).

Edit: Oh, and is it just me, or are moves like Yoshi's 2a:B (and a:B+K) really hard to do in this game for some reason? Am I just fudging up the timing? I don't remember ever having a problem with these sorts of "slides" in SC1-4. It's a bit of a pain in the ass. I'd like to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I guess I'm not the only one. Well that pretty much turns me off on Yoshi. I'll give it another shot before I abandon him but it's sorta silly how hard it is to do.

Don't worry... I am sure they can sell you some DLC to make the combos easier :P

If it had been a capcom game, i would believe that but Namco seems to be a bit mroe restrictive with the DLC. At least from what i've sen :P

Also i take back that DJ is bad. He is a monster. He has short range but seemingly makes up for it by just being in your face constatly with massive combo damage.

Didn't I say Jin was a piece of shit in a good way? :P

Posted by Megido

This isn't even a joke. Capcom is literally doing just what Isomac said with the shitty gem system. Such a shame. I want to like SFxTekken but I just can't.

My friend made a combo video of DJ.

I don't think i want to play SCV with him anymore :P

Just as a foot not i think he got the game like friday or something and never played Soul Calibur much before. Freaking fighter savant :P

I'm sure he's never played Tekken before either. Or seen a joystick. Or knows what a videogame is.

Jin is stupid. He doesn't fit in this game at all. Yoshi has been tweaked to the point where he's a Soul Calibur character when he's in Soul Calibur. The same isn't true for Devil Jin.

In reply to

Well he really doesn't work much like he does in Tekken either though. None of the moves work the same way, the inputs are different and so forth.

I will for sure buy Tekken Tag Tournament 2. I still remember playing the shit out of the first at my 11th birthday party. Whoopin' ass, talkin shit. Tossing the controller to tag out because we only had two PS2 controllers (and subsequently getting pwned because it took like 3 secs). Ah, good ol' days.

Yeah, but hopefully TTT2 won't be a 6 month rush-job with completely borked mechanics :)
