Fighter's Generation said:
Merry Christmas Soul Calibur fans! Harada-san has just announced via Twitter that the Soul Calibur series will be making a comeback, with Daishi Odashima as the director for the new game... is Soul Calibur 5 on the way? No teaser images or videos have been released yet, but this announcement alone is surely great news for any kind of Soul Calibur fan! Stay tuned!
Teaser Trailer from Namco Event in Dubai (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbIjwEHgtbc)
Patroklos (left) and Seigfried (right) artwork. (http://i.imgur.com/X8gww.jpg) Seigfried and 4 other unknown characters (http://i.imgur.com/cR24q.jpg)
- Set 17 years after Soul Calibur IV - Will feature guest characters. - The main character is Patroklos, son of Sophitia. Patroklos is "inspired" by the gameplay of Sophitia, but is "sharper" and "more agile". He has new moves, but they're all inspired by Sophitia's. - V takes the Siegried ending of IV and builds upon it. Seigfried, now 39 years old, no longer wields the Soul Calibur sword. - Soul Calibur IV characters will appear.
Game will be released sometime in 2012.

Couldn't care less about the outfits so long as character customization remains.
No thank you, SC4's character customization was... plain sad, even compared to 3's lacking customization mode, it's sad when EVEN Mortal Kombat has a better character customization mode.

It could have been better, sure, but I really enjoyed it.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!
Post by: Zuhukanah on December 26, 2010, 09:11:43 am
I thought the SC4's character customization was really good. It coulda used a more hairstyles so characters don't constantly look to similar, but other than that I didn't have a problem with it. I just hope that when giving them their weapon that the moveset doesn't totally reference an existing character like how 4 did. At least in 3 there was some classes and different movesets than that of the main characters.

The only good thing about SC4's CAS was the ability to change the height and size of the character so it wasn't just character dress-up. It was stupid that they removed all the CAS disciplines from SCIII. They should have improved upon them greatly.
I don't mind guest characters since they don't affect the game whatsoever and they're fun to use.
What I really want is for them to bring back Li Lon and Hwang and make Bangoo and Johan Durer finally playable characters. They should turn Revenant and Arthur into full fledged characters as well.
Finally, BRING BACK THE SHOP GIRLS!!! I don't care about the fan service obviously but they made shopping in SCIII livelier.

There was nothing wrong with SCIV's gameplay. It was much better received than SCIII. Most of the complaints against the game are it's total lack of content.

sugestions to make a better soulcalibur game
1_no more create a shity looking-char-mode(if the chars aren`t going to be be full editable then what is the purpose for this mode) 2_do not put in shity guest chars 3_less fanservicial (stupid looking)chars 4_better stages(what hapened SCIII stages were better designed than SC4 stages)
don`t like to read what i think...don`t worry namco never hear true fans soo all 4 things i hate of the series will be in the next 10 soulcaliburs they made...still hoping for a good soulcalibur(but i am happy emulating dreamcast version that`s good enough for me)

Post by: Duos.act on December 26, 2010, 07:01:59 pm
Personally I too can do without guest characters and the like. I love Darth Vader and all, but all they end up doing is taking the spotlight off the main cast.
Soul Calibur should be all about the Soul Calibur characters, not the anticipation of an outside source. If your main draw is someone else's characters, it's time to rethink your game plan.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!
Post by: DMK on December 26, 2010, 08:01:17 pm
Well I thought SC2 did guest characters right, I can't remember if SC3 had any, but 4's were COMPLETELY out of place. I'm sure they could find more for both systems that some what fit the environment.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!

Bring back Yun-Seong's Sc2 costume and SC2 combos and give Talim her tornado assault kamay and I'll be happy.
Also, fuck the apprentice >:(

Post by: Promise on December 26, 2010, 08:26:22 pm
I'm really excited about this game. I loved them all except for SC3. Nothing wrong with it but, I just couldn't get a feel for it. If they are going to add "special" characters they should not be related to the storyline at all. Similar to what I believe MK is doing for Kratos. As for extras, I would like to see a create-a-weapon mode.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!
Post by: Santtu on December 26, 2010, 10:18:33 pm
how about total costume degradation from battle damage :D
I don't want to see Voldo naked. :-\

Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!
Post by: Alhambra on December 27, 2010, 12:18:12 am
Create a weapon would be fun actually if the could do it right. I don't see a reason for removing create-a-soul so long as they improve upon it.
The one thing I really want changed is the damage effects though. Just because I cut up some pants doesn't mean they should just pop off. If they can make the battle damage better I'd be super happy.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!
Post by: Silver Fang on December 27, 2010, 01:02:29 am
As far as the damage effects, I think only things like armour should smash.
Would prefer if CaS's variety was more like SC3's though, where you could have a shirt, a breastplate, and something like a quiver on top of the other, as opposed to SC4 limiting it to two. The mass and tone adjustment in 4 was good though, but a good addition to 5 would be adjusting the height as well (I ended up editing Astaroth into the char I wanted to make instead because I thought he looked too short).
All in all though, I'm glad there's another SC game being made.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!
Post by: Darkflare on December 27, 2010, 01:42:08 am
If there's one thing I preffered of SC3's CaS over 4's is the fact that the CaSs had....well...more unique weapon styles(Which granted technically belonged to the Bonuc characters but screw it, it was SOMETHING)

Post by: DMK on December 27, 2010, 02:56:21 am
I love Yoda, Darth Vader, and Starkiller, but only to their universe. Having them come down and battle it out with the SC cast just seemed odd and the entire premise silly.

I'd like it if they brought back Weapon Master mode from the Second game, but allowed you to play it using characters you made in Character creation. (If they brought it back that is.)
Just my opinion tho. ;D

For the same reason we don't like Motor Kombat, or Puzzle Kombat, or the hastily tacked on Konquest modes; they consume effort that should be going toward refining the main game.

Yah, but those maids each had a distinct and unique fighting style, that were inspired by other characters of the series but not so much that they were the same. They were distinct and had their own flair. And besides, i freaken love those tambourines. And i'd rather have some Maid beat the living day lights out of my opponents then having to see voldo spasm everywhere on stage (making a refrence to his joke weapon.)
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!
Post by: swipergod on December 31, 2010, 12:03:44 am
I'm hoping there aren't any guest characters. They steal spots from characters like Li Long, who keeps getting the shaft (can't get the SC3 Arcade after all). That's what create a character is for.
Create a character should also give you some freedom over a moveset. Like pick from horizontal slash a, b or c. etc... Could maybe merge some styles for something unique.
If I have to suffer more guest characters, I guess Ninja Gaiden would fit okay or something Final Fantasy related or Bayonetta/Devil May Cry could be interesting... Just rather not see them. Come up with some new unique characters.

And since we talk about stupid guest characters. Baraka from Mortal Kombat. He has at least more or less unique weapons.

Did they? I thought they simply used the custom character class weapons. (For example, the blonde one used the Dancer class tambourine weapons)
Does anyone think they'll do away with the finishers? I didn't care for them, really.
I always thought it was cool just to see what the character's finisher was. Although other than that I didn't really use it much, it didn't seem like it was a big part of the gameplay. I wouldn't really care if they took them away or not.

I guess i miss phrased that a bit, i should have sayed the new classes that were given in SC 3 was unique, and that the bonus characters that was given these new styles fit them well :). As for the finishers, yah... that wasn't really needed. I think it was to tie in the whole "armor breaking" system.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!

Ya, but then again the unblockables in the SC suck ass (Aside from being slow and easily telegraphed, THE WEAPON IS ON FIRE, THAT MEANS IT'S UNBLOCKABLE.) and you can't follow up attack from most guard break moves.
And throws are throws.

We all know Ivy will gain 40 more pounds and ditch her snake sword for the only weapon she really needs: mammoth gazongas.
I always considered SC3 to be the best one by far. The play modes (Chronicles of the Sword) trumped SC4's in every way. The unique fighting styles also helped a lot. Although I fear with the trends of "dumbed-down" gaming, SC5 will even be more simplistic than SC4 was in this department. Expect more cuts.
On the bright side, I'm hoping much of CaS gets improved and more robust; a ton of potential there.

SC5? Sweet, definitely looking forward to it. This is the last chance I'm giving Namco though. Yunsung's character gets worse every single SC. He was awesome in SC2, meh in SC3 and then they turned him into a gay pirate (Pirates aren't gay, think about what I just said) in SC4.
If they make him retarded again.. I'm finding a new favorite character. Also, is it true that his english voice actor in SC3 and 4 is the same guy as SC2? He sounds entirely different.
Now my only requests, bring back Hwang and ehh.. get rid of the Critical Finishers. Never really liked them.

My back hurts in sympathy for Ivy.
only 1/3 of the chars have such measurements (Of course, not counting males :P). But truth be told, Ivy's boobs get bigger with each sequel so chances are she will be a mass entirelly made of boobs in SCV (And of course, she will be a boss battle char, like Night Terror).

(Very Likely) Since they did something like it before.

Whoah! 17 year time skip and Patroklos as main character? Now there's quite surprise.
And this certainly gives many new character opportunities. Bangoo, Patroklos's sister, adult Talim, adult Amy etc.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!
Post by: SNT on May 11, 2011, 12:41:14 pm
Amy is a vampire, she very well may still look a child. Talim, though, is going to be 32. As for the others:
someone else's speculation said:
Since they are bringing in Sophitia's son, most like either one or both the sisters will be gone from V. If both are, mayhaps Sophitia's daughter will thake the second spot. Rock will probably be replaced by Bangoo, he's near 60 and the boy's been long overdue to appear in a game. Algol, Astaroth, Cervantes, Lizardman, Nightmare and Siegfried are not human at all, and do not age, so they'll probably come back unchanged. Judging from the trailer, the latter two may be one again, which I'm not sure how to feel about. Amy, Raphael, Yoshimitsu and Zasalamel may age, but it won't matter a whole lot since they'll be still able to fight even if they were aged 17 more years. Ivy, Taki and Tira may be pulled into HURP DURP THEIR MAGIC/ALCHEMY/DEMONIC POSSESSION PREVENTED THEM FROM AGING. Hilde, Kilik, Talim and Xianghua will still be in their thirties, so there'll be no problem for them coming back. The rest are in or past their forties, and of doubtful situation. Except for Mitsurugi, him being old will actually make him even more badass, not to say it is impossible that they remove him from the series.

I just hope they still include a character that uses Ivy's weapon, or a similar one (ideally controllable just like the SC2 version, but maybe that's asking too much) - it's been a fairly unique and fun thing about the series and I'd like it to stick around, even if it involves changin the wielding character. Could even be a male, give or take some animations - it's a cool weapon, doesn't need a gigantic pair of bazongas to make it appealing (I figure some new character will be carrying that torch, given the time skip).
I can't help but wonder if Li Long fans will be dissapointed again - he might actually work better at an older age that Maxi seems to be able to.

Post by: SNT on May 11, 2011, 06:13:48 pm
Interesting coincidence I picked up on. Sophitia's two kids' names, Patroklos and Phyrra.
Phyrra is the fake name given to Achilles by his mother Thetis while hiding amongst the daughters of the King of Lycomedes. You see, Thetis knew ahead of time that Achilles was destined to be a warrior, and that he would die before his time in Troy. She thought that by hiding him there she'd save him from that life. Odysseus saw through that, however, by pretending to be a merchant; setting up a stall filled with jewelry and other vanity items, but placing a golden sword at the side of the table. The sword and the sword alone tool "Phyrra's" interest, and Odysseus exposed him as Achilles. Thetis, then knowing that she could not prevent him from his destiny, commissioned the forge god Hephaestus to make him a shield and a set of armor.
Patroklos? He's the long-time war buddy, and some scholars suspect lover, of Achilles. His death in the Trojan War filled a half-hearted Achilles with the rage that drove him to fight on.
Speaking of which:

Yunsung is basically going to be Hwang, old and wiser. It'll seem out of place if he has the same "hot blooded youngster" attitude and fighting style. He's probably going to be Hwang incarnate now, I welcome that. Mitsurugi might look the same but just have grey hair, I could see that happening.
Can't wait to see more, and Taki and Ivy will probably just get kids or replacements that look just like them and have their fighting styles.

I take solace in the fact that we will likely not get any Star Wars characters. Seriously hoping for most of IV characters return, even if they are just unlockables or reps of fighting styles. [size=2pt] Ivy does have the whole alchemy excuse so maybe she'll be the worlds mightiest cougar[/size]

"There is quite some change in the gameplay from SCIV. The pace of the game has been improved, and the combos will be easier to perform, and the moves will be easier to pull out."
Not saying its a bad thing by any means. For me though SC has always been the most accessible fighter for new players. Certainly the easiest to get people into.
Also, new swords, and the artwork looks sick. Sigfried looks beast!

I'm not too sure if this will happen. Sophitia has had Patroklos set up for a while now, while Taki and Ivy haven't really given any thought to their futures. Hell, if memory serves, Ivy actively wants her fighting style to die with her, tainted with demonic power as it is. Them suddenly being given kids or apprentices would feel pretty tacky. I'd much prefer to see them back as themselves, one way or another.

2. A balance between male and female costume parts
3. A button config in the character select screen because that should be a standard for all fighting games!
And one more thing if they are going to add a guest character they should make sure that character fit into game and story no offense to star wars fans but they just just don't fit into soul Calibur unless if it's set in the future or in space!
Please keep Taim in!

With Namco and Capcom already in bed with each other over SFxT/TxSF, a Capcom character does sound more likely than one from another company. And Capcom do happen to have a franchise doing well at the moment, that has a feature film coming out, and happens to be set in about the same time period.
Outside of Capcom, people have already mentioned Bayonetta, but that won't really work seeing as she's a good four feet taller than the rest of the cast. How about Selvaria Bles from Valkyria Chronicles? Lance and shield user, is also essentially a supersaiyan, ridiculously popular, large boobs but known more for being an absolute monster in combat, statuesque waifu material to rope in that sort of crowd... it's a perfect fit for Soul Cal.
and samanosuke taking the role of mitsurugi with his oni amulet changing his weapon every few moves ala necrid

Going into franchises people would probably look at me crosseyed for mentioning. I would love to see Saber appear as a guest. She's sword based and honestly fits right in. Excalibur, can't go wrong with a weapon like that in a game like this.

I have a strange suspicion it might be another Tales Of character, either Emil from Symphonia 2 or someone to promote the upcoming Tales of Xillia. That is if Shwa is ironically right and it will be another Namco rep.

If the Capcom thing is a possibility, with Ono's lobbying for Darkstalkers there could be a very faint possibility of Bishamon in there, but SC already has its share of samurai, undead and cursed weapons. He wouldn't be any siller than some other stuff that's been in the seies before though.

WTF NIGGA VOLDO IS IRREPLACEABLE.
Honestly, making a new character design for his moveset seems difficult. It would be easier to just reuse him.
Unless Namco decides to just drop his spot all together, which would be an inexcusable crime.

^ Going by past history, probably. Spawn and Link in SC2, Star Wars in SC4. It's probably going to be someone completely random like Tron (the movie Tron, not Bonne) or Axe Cop or something.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!
Post by: MDD on May 25, 2011, 05:30:51 am
At least the guests in SCII made some sort of sense. Heihachi is from another Namco game, Link might have existed in the same time period had he not been in a AU and he uses an actual sword. No idea why they used Spawn, might have been because of McFarlane wanting to create Necrid or something, but he sorta fits in and he's awesome so I don't care.
Star Wars characters, on the other hand, were so out of place it was ridiculous.
If the guest character is Gouki i'm going to laugh.

Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!
Post by: SNT on May 25, 2011, 06:02:32 am
I'm not fussed either way. They have the common decency now to seperate these characters from the main cast, through the select screen submenu. I didn't really have any interest in them, especially as they were clones of canon characters anyway.
The SC3 side-characters were more interesting anyway. Seperate movesets, some characters already in the canon that people wanted back, and showcased the versatility of the create mode. In fact failing just making them older, that's how I could see them bringing back the older characters; through parts and movesets designed specifically to hark back to those characters. I can't say how accurate SC3 Hwang and Li Long were to their original play styles, but I've heard they were pretty damn close.

But this game is set in the future! I think it is best to hope, even if it is unlikely, for the Calibur series to go "Tag" after this one, and bring every character (from Edge to 4) that is not a guest, uses random moveset or has clone moveset--unless it's a boss--back. I mean, Revenant vs Seong Han Myeong? Or Dampierre vs that freaking Zeus statue!? The guest could be, I don't know, Mokujin ;P

*Sigh*... Dissapointing yet again. But I kinda expected it. Hwang got real old after the timeskip and all.
Still Yunsung will probably be there, and after 17 years I doubt he's still as hotblooded/obnoxious and inexperienced as his SC3-SC4 versions. With any luck he'll be Hwang incarnate at this point, I'm looking forward to seeing what they did with his Character. And Talim's for that matter.
If they Axe him too though, I'll be really pissed. But for future hopefuls I'm sad to say concerning Hwang, he probably wont ever come back to SC. It's a shame, he was my favorite SE/SC character.

Ivy I couldn't care about, but my maining Taki makes me a little more invested in her inclusion. She's also one of the few characters that doesn't have an heir apparent waiting in the wings to replace her, Ivy being another. Patroklos and Pyrrha for the Greek girls, Kilik and Xianghua could feasibly have a child, Seong Mina probably has one as well almost certainly being married married to Hwang by now, Setsuka having the girl she took under her wing back in SC3...
Also, a couple of interviews have set the cast at being half returning, half new.

It appears as though time defeated her in the end. At this Cervantes laughs, imagining how fun it will be to absolutely rape her replacement.

Would it make any difference if she wasn't smiling? Because that's what your all worrying about.
That is part of it, yes, but even with the most brutal metal frown you could possibly photoshop onto her, she still looks very, very frail. That, and it's bad enough I have to put up with genki cutesy ninjas in my Musou games, but Soul Cal has always had the stoic betitted profound badness of Taki being what a ninja should be. And now to replace her, we get nearly everything I hate in a character.

Age isn't so much a factor as is the modern social stigma attached to a specific age. Nowadays teenagers are considered kids, sure, but back in these days a person was considered a grown up much earlier. For example, while Romeo is ball-parked at 14-15, Juliet is quoted in the play as 13. 13 years old, old enough to be married. 13 years old, old enough to even consider killing yourself. Hell, 15 years old, old enough to fight in a duel. Kids those days, it seems, were much more mature.
The problem isn't that there are teenage girls in a game set in the 1600s, the problem is that there are 21st century teenage girls in a game set in the 1600s. Devs plan on a fifteen year old character and get it in their heads that by default they're Saturday morning kids show characters. YAY GOTTA GO ON AN ADVENTURE, SO EXCITING STAY TUNED, KAY?

Guys like GBK who are just hatin' because the girl looks too young, nobody will ever give a fuck about your opinion as long as you don't know jack about martial arts. Plus what Chosis said, in that time and place, at 15, you were an adult. I can't stand loli designs either, but you guys are just ridiculous. If she has the same skillset as Taki, if her techniques are those of an assassin, then I won't disdain her more than I did Talim and Xianghua.

*cough*
I didnt say she is to young
I complained that she just looks FRIGGIN WEAK
Hell in her old Soul Edge Blade and Soul calibur 1 renders Taki looks like under 20 or even under 18 too
But for sure she doesnt look like a weak cute girl.
The other Soul Edge girl Seung Mina (http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters3/seungmina-soulb.jpg)
Was a young girl in the game as well, she was one of my favourite characters back in 1997. While she is young and looks somewhat weak, she had at least a traditional looking outfit and weapon.
But come on..a european looking girl, wearing a kunoichi and clothes which could fit into a DOA game as well + young+ weak looking?
Nay. That character design plain sucks.
If thats the route of SC 5 i ll pass it probably.
SC 4 was a dissapointment all in all already.

Like I said, my problem isn't that she looks too young, it's that she looks too frail. Amy was superhuman, Talim may have been weak but at the very least had a low center of gravity, but this new girl looks so gangly and narrow a stiff wind could blow her over. Thinking of a girl like that resisting the likes of Astaroth pushes my suspension of disbelief. On top of that, she represents Xianghua, Asuka Kazama, Athena Asamiya, Jam Kuradoberi and all these other annoying screechy genki girls I can't help but despise. Asuka doubly so because she seems to be another annoying screechy genki girl replacing an older, cooler, calmer main of mine.
This character looks like she'd kick my ass. I would smile, and then use her to kick ass.
This character looks like she'd try and kick me, trip over her own feet, tumble ass over head, sit up, cock her head to the side and giggle. I would then bemoan the fact that I'm left with this stupid twit when I could've had Taki.

None of that is right, you can't tell her build with that artwork. If you put her in the exact same stance as the Taki render, she just might look exactly like her. If you're concerned about muscles, muscles aren't required if you have a style that relies on mobility and agility. Which does fit an assassination-related style. the only thing that's visible in this is the color of her hair and her smile, so I can only deduce you guys are all taking pot-shots at her only for that. Saying she looks like she would trip trying to hit you is a lie. For all we know she moves with as much speed and precision as someone like Guy or Hayabusa. Wait until you see her move, and THEN start talking.

Well, who can blame them when the girls are designed like this?
The second half of SNT's post really resonates. I sometimes think that the developers worry that the image of an imposing strong female character would scare away their fans. So they feel the need to suck out every ounce of aggressiveness, masculinity, and realism until they're left with a kawaii little shell for the fans to fawn over. If the female character isn't a cute little plaything, the developers will slap some garishly humongous tits on it so they can add sex appeal without wasting space.
Give me a woman, regardless of age, who I can believe would pick up a sword and fight for something without hopping up and down in excitement, talking about how much fun the fight will be, and acting like an 8 year old school girl.
Like SNT said, 15 year olds in that time were adults who had experienced the hardships of life and witnessed the horrors of war firsthand. But the games constantly make them act like the tweenage children of today. This girl's face doesn't make her look like someone who has ever experienced a paper-cut; let alone someone who makes a living killing other people. Taki at least had that going for her. I could believe that she was an assassin.
I like Ivy as a character. Even without the humongous boobs.
Keep in mind this is all just my opinion. But the whole cute phenomenon gives me a stomachache. And I think it's women who should be most insulted. The developers are making the idea of a female fighter into a farce.

The dominatrix outfit kind of wierded me out, and to say that her proportions have gotten a little cartoony over the years would be a massive understatement.
None of that is right, you can't tell her build with that artwork. If you put her in the exact same stance as the Taki render, she just might look exactly like her.
I respectfully disagree. You'd be hard pressed to argue even Talim's recent concept art depicted her being that narrow. And just comparing the legs, Taki certainly has more meat on her bones.
Quote

Again, I disagree. If that were the case, Taki wouldn't have legs of near Chun-Li level tone. With all the flipping and jumping a ninja like Taki would do, you'd certainly require a bit of muscle, especially on the lower body. There is absolutely no tone on the new girl's legs.

Soul Calibur Teens Announced
Oh right, Mitsurugi, Siegfried, Ivy, all the other returning characters, they look so much like teens. Even Patroklos, the first of the new characters, is such a teen. The cast will have half returning characters and half new characters, and amongst the new chars, not all of them need to be very young. That means there can't possibly be more than half of the cast, and can't logically be more than a third of the cast, who MIGHT POSSIBLY be a little younger than today's standards (which aren't the same standards as 400 years ago), and even for those who are young, they don't all need to look weak (Patroklos looks just fine for a fighter).
None of that is right, you can't tell her build with that artwork. If you put her in the exact same stance as the Taki render, she just might look exactly like her.
I respectfully disagree. You'd be hard pressed to argue even Talim's recent concept art depicted her being that narrow. And just comparing the legs, Taki certainly has more meat on her bones.
http://soulcalibur.wikia.com/wiki/Xianghua Oh she looks so muscular in most of her artworks starting with the ones of the original soul Calibur and especially her SC3 artworks when she's well above your lower age limit.

We certainly didn't have this whole kind of argument before...at least it isn't that asian blue guy this time.
Btw, IMO Pyrrha is an exception. It's obvious she's no fighter. So she won't look the part. It would make sense rather for a person to take up arms when they need to. A shortsword isn't really a weapon you need to master for years either and she would have gotten some sword training from his father ( I assume Sophitia would be missing all that time according to the story).

Xianghua isn't a ninja, she's a Chinese fencer. It's not a reasonable expectation that Xianghua jump between rooftops, or perfectly land fifty foot drops.

I don't think Sophitia is supposed to be missing, but Pyrrha (the girl) was abducted by Tira and presumably never returned, so she wasn't trained like her brother. She's probably here ONLY to replace Cassandra and nothing about the story aside from Patroklos looking for her, unless they make it a secret plot point. Pyrrha, the one who annoys so many people, is the exception, and this new Taki-ish girl has yet to show her style and isn't necessarily the same.

I was more or less talking about the genre in general as opposed to just the SC series, but yes point taken.
Although, the only one I'd really consider somewhat immune is Seoung-Mina.
Taki and Sophitia are fighters but both have boobs the size of watermelons. Cassandra is Sophitia's cute, goofy unwanted sister. Xianghua has been a work in progress who started out as a cute ball of fluff who's movelist featured having a temper tantrum on the ground.
If she doesn't turn out to be the pathetic stereotype her face and pose paint her to be, you have the right to call me out on it.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that part of the problem is there's a lack of scientific information on hos women build muscles. And how much can they maintain with out steroids.

She doesn't have anything that makes YOU like her. Twilight doesn't have anything I like, but I can't say "it's unlikable" because I know for a fact that there's at least more than one person who likes it. It DOES have traits that can make SOME people like it. Therefore, it's not unlikable, and if I say "it's unlikable", then it's a lie, and adding "just my opinion" is only furthering the lie.

dude you are way bent out of shape here. because he said it's his opinion it has the freedom to bias or even false but he's not ling. He can say he believes the sky to be green and he wouldn't be ling. you cant even prove if he was lying or not in the first place.

I'm just sorry I didn't major in semantics.
I used the term unlikable to refer to the fact that I could find nothing about her that I liked. I did not use it to imply that no one liked her. If anything, I am guilty of misusing the term. Go ahead and piss on me or whatever it is you do to prove your superiority. I do find it laughable that you are still trying to call an opinion a lie.
I think you were just sore after misquoting me and felt the need to prove me wrong.
you're the one who's been twisting the conversation into this
guffaw
You can call my opinion bad, but calling it a lie is just stupid.

Oz, you DID turn this thing with knowing how a character will be in advance into your scout's honor that you said you think this or that and nitpicking on word usage. You're just trying to move the discussion away from how you were one of the solid offenders in whining and talking all sorts of crap about a character we've only seen one image of.

in my honest opinion [defined as my personal viewpoint, which may not be necessarily be influenced by others], i have no problem [meaning that i have no preference for her design, seeing as she could probably just be a moveswap for taki, and that therefore my impression towards this new character and taki is the same, which is neutral] with her design.

Byakko wins the battle that wasn't being fought. Give this bastard a medal.
I didn't start changing the subject until you called my opinion a lie. I think if a timetraveling Byakko stumbled into the thread, he'd probably call out such a stupid argument.
Hell, I am biased, and I probably sounded whiney. I didn't like the design and I may have crossed the line into annoying territory by being so vocal about something that doesn't yet exist. You can call me out on that. But start spitting semantics and call me a liar? Now you've lost me. Your lust for needless victory is tangible. I don't like the design shown in that image. I know it's waaaay to early to judge, but it gives me a bad first impression.

So I say that using the word "lie" was bad and you accept that you've been throwing a lot of shit about a single character design we don't even know anything about ? And you don't put it like you're the one being the bigger man since all of you guys were the ones being annoying whiners to begin with ? And you don't twist the discussion away by focusing on a single word like every moron on this board is prone to do, and act like I'm the one defending this single word for no reason ? And more importantly, all of you guys shut the fuck up about one design nobody knows a thing about ? Just if I drop this thing about the "lie" ? I can work with that.

Or if the styles were chosen more carefully, at the very least. Except for Scheherazade all the extra characters looked like ridiculous moveswaps. Shura, for example, should've been based on Taki and not Cervantes.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!
Post by: OZ on July 16, 2011, 09:40:59 pm
So much wasted potential. Let's give them unique weapons and then just paste them onto other characters.
Excitement quickly turns to disappointment. The fact that they were just haphazardly involved in the story only made it feel more unpolished.
And the all female guest list was a disappointment in and of itself.
I'm hoping for something more this time that doesn't involve Star Wars.

I like Angol Fear solely because I'm a Keroro Gunsou fan. That and nothing more.
The others I'm indifferent about. Shura fit the most in the series so I actually would have liked to see more of her.
And yes they should have given them unique movesets. Heck they could have just ported SCIII's custom movesets. It still boggles me that they never did.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!

Initial reaction to Cassandra was not positive at all mainly due to being a replacement to her sister but she became a fan favorite as time went on. Most likely what saved her was bringing Sophitia back for SCII's console ports.
Yun Seong on the other hand...

I do
Hwang was a thousand times more interesting character, had a better moveset. Just everything of him beat Yun Seong.
While Maxi is a cool design as well, Li Long fitted into the series much more, In the Arcade Edition of SC III they made him a normal character again and gave him an own moveset, way more balanced as in his console guest character appeareance, why the hell didnt they give him a chance in SC4. =/
So she is a diciple of Taki. How surprising.

Nah..thats just as bad as all charakter makers in fighting games so far.
We can "create" fighters which look like fighterX but does a created Hwang or Li Long makes the moveset, character entrances, voice, story better than those for Maxi and Yun Seong as example?
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!
Post by: SNT on July 17, 2011, 07:42:38 pm
They did in Soul Calibur 3. Creation parts were tailored to suit recreations of Hwang and Li Long, generic voices for each option had seperate quotes for use by Hwang and Li Long, and the Chinese Sword/Blade/whichever one it was was essentially an updated Hwang movelist, as was Li Long and the Nunchaku.
And as I said, this is in a worse come to worst scenario. No Story mode would be a slight downer, but with no other way, there are levels of survival I'm prepared to have Taki accept.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5 announced!
Post by: Riptide on July 17, 2011, 10:23:33 pm
They could give the created character a story. I think in some of the tony hawk games the made up character has a loose story. But the thing is the could put more effort into giving the gamer more options to create their own character. I don't really see a problem with this if it's done well.

I really liked the RPG style minigame in SC3 as a CAS substitute for a story mode.
Personally I found that horrendous. Too long and drawn out, the flow of the mode was too stuttery, and it only accentuated how bullshit some of the created weapon styles were.

I don't want to go through that damn labyrinth again though. God that was just torture.
But the labyrinths were a breeze compared to the dragged out pseudo-RTS stuff. And you didn't even mind getting lost because they took lessons from Pokemon Dungeon Building 101 and put new gear at every dead end. Besides, despite just being based on the main characters' alternates, the backstory and characters of the SC2 WM mode leant more to the whole epic quest direction that a Soul game should be about, rather than the more political-intrigue angle they tried to work into the CotS mode.
But yes, Oz hit it on the head there.

Natsu has longer fingernails and they are painted in the artwork. She also seems to be more laid back on it than how she is in the actual game if you judge it by the screenshots.
She's probably as serious as Taki when she fights I guess.
Also Zwei was such an obvious name for that char :P. Still I approve that design :).

Nice sidestep of the removing characters issue. They've also properly anglicized Patroklos' name now to Patroclus. Pat's moveset looks suitably manly for a male SC sword and shield. Quick step: no word on whether this replaces/affects the usefulness of 8-way run. Brave Edge confirmed for character-specific coloured EX. Critical Edge confirmed for Super. Is it just me or did Siegfried incorporate a few Nightmare attacks? Can't speak much for gameplay, but Ivy sounds a lot less... Ivy. Less dominatrix, more... I dunno, serious competitor? What ever it is, it's a good change. And no gameplay footage of Natsu or Zwei.
Name: Natsu Sex: Female Age: 17 Birthplace: Izumo, Japan Height: 5’5″ (166 cm) Weight: 115 lbs. (52 kg) Date of Birth: August 3rd Blood Type: O Weapon: Ninja Sword x2 Weapon Name: Kuzukiri & Awayuki Fighting Style: Musoh-Battoh-Ryu Family: She is Taki’s student and brought up by Chie, the chief of Fu-ma clan. She harbors the great demon Arahabaki within her.
So now she's Naruto. This isn't instilling me with a whole heap of confidence.

Worthy Successors
Don't know why they showcased Natsu here. Seriously, though, I'd need to see more. Only thing that wasn't Taki's to begin with was the Critical Edge, which makes me wonder why they bothered changing her out at all if they weren't going to adapt her move set at all to the new character. Yes, I know, if they did show anything like that I'd undoubtedly be screaming about how kawaii uguu they made her, but them's the breaks when you replace established characters.
Also, lol recycled music from SC2.

Properly anglicized my anus, in the original Greek mythology, Patroklos was actually written as Patroklos. It's a Greek name, not some Latin bastardization. It's only after some douchebags decided that "the Roman spelling is the correct spelling, that's why, hey Herakles should be called Hercules."

a letter from a fan should be like this... dear people at namco i really miss (ivy boobs and ass) soulcalibur so make another one......that simple
well i like ivy for her original style (since the very first soulcalibur) sigfried,nightmare,mitsurugi,maxi,li long,rock,astaroth,hwang,cervantes,kilik are the chars i liked and i did find somewere else taki,sophitia,ivy,and seung mina as acceptable since they were nice to play
then tira came(with many shit chars) and that one whoo listens the farts...i mean the wind..... i really hope they get rid of create a (shity) char mode..... and also i have zero interest in whatever the history is.....is a fighting game not a book or a manga or loooong boring MGS4(metal gear) cinemas

agreed with that (for most of the people)...but is just me.....i honestly have to say the story in a fighting game is really useless ,for me....but i followed most of the history in games like fatal fury 3; i did play more than reading with soulcalibur(and soulcalibur2) in the arcades no one ever cared about the char's background history
i remember(when there was arcades) people that spended hours talking about guilty gear history,all the time and could'nt fight a shit....the same with king of fighters adoring history and fighting nothing.....
games like street fighter 3 3rd strike were meaning only for one thing.....fight against other all the day and all night(at arcades console or emulated versions of it)

I enjoy fighting game stories because it gives you a better sense of what the characters you play are like. Some characters I play specifically because of their stories, it makes them more likable characters. The fact that Zangief bullies around bears instantly makes him more likable for me.

Anyway Mitsurugi didn't seem to change much expected something to show he is more skilled in his age and can we assume Kilik is the father of Lei Xiao.

Idk i still think Taki may make it in as a secret character
Why are you making it sound like Taki is the most important cut character in the game? If she's not going to make it in, tough shit. People have got to learn to respect that. It's like Megaman not being in MvC3.

Because we had nothing to go off but a few canned moves of Taki's put into a trailer. Now they've shown more of her movelist, at the very least her fighting style looks pretty boss. But that only begs the question why they made her look so frustratingly derp to begin with. Still cut about Taki being out, but my fears about Natsu's moves went unproven. Still sweating on character portrayal, but at the very least CaS Taki with Natsu weapons doesn't sound so bad.
And for the record, I don't remember ever complaining about the old Soul Cal cast.

Hwang and every other character that got cut for reasons unknown that got made into DLC, I'd totally get them. Well, some of them.

well yes shura is eye candy ;but maybe if she could have at least an original moveset,again she does not need any background history.....having the new game and having what you(i mean every body) really want into it,,,could make every one happy.....and also for them to make the ultimate money maker

he's in the navy/coast guard/some shit so that comes first and foremost
and the only reason he went to search for souledge in the first place was to have enough firepower to defend his country, nothing more, nothing less so him being in the game at this point would just be a bonus or fanservice (sc3)
and li long...i swear he died in his ending (one of em)
he was poisoned or something and was calling out for his wife and his unborn child

Shit, thanks for the memory jog Dampir. As far as characters go, I know for a fact that Tira will indeed, return. Either in a new body or she'd be in the same body, but as a 34 year old. Time skips have nothing on her. :P

the main history.....sons daughter fathers cosuin replacements(family watever) can have their party,their eternally retold history-gotta save the world again- and blablablabla...can coexist perfectly with dlc content(mm the opositte)....chars that does not touch the history can be there too...even if they have died.....even if they are 54years old, the young taki ,li long,not loli talim (she ears the farts) and all the same shity chars of last one could be there too and not touching history mode....play with those in arcade mode...
i would like to buy SC2 nightmare just put the same char it was in sc2 same move list etc(maybe new textures as well soo it does not look outdated)....
we could have hwang just as he was in SC(moveset costume -maybe henhanced a lil)
rock adams as he was in SC3(or it was in 4?? not remenber) mitsurugi from sc2 and soo on just like that
and i insist they say they are listening the fans...time to have some proof of it...

Leixia? Come on now. You go from Chinese-sounding name that sounds like it could really be Chinese to generic anime name that is spelled exotically for no reason. They could've easily called her Alexia or something like that and it would be alot better.
Pronounced "lay-tsiah", not "lay-icks-ee-ah".

Maxi might be under the influence of Soul Edge. That, and he's showing some baggy eyes at 0:36 in the trailer. Either from the corruption or more likely he's aging as gracefully as he can.
Tira is for sure under the influence. Servants always get a taste.
Hilde... not much of a clue, except she looks to be in her mid-30's or 40's at 0:33...

You know. I used to play basketball with this sickly old white guy. Was in his late 70s. Man has his way with everyone on the court. Doesn't matter how old. Or how young. How big or how strong. Heaven help you if you got him on defense. Guys in his 80s now. Still out powers everyone. Still out paces everyone. Still kicking every bit as much ass. Old. Bald. White man.
So when I see Voldo, who must be at least 70 something ... Hell! I believe it. Yessir.

Apparently "17 years" is a very subjective term at Namco...
If anyone asks why Taki isn't here; it's because the developers didn't like her so they added voldo, maxi, and ivy's 17 years on to her in order to make her too old to compete.

BAM Hands-On Info
TGS build; Astaroth but no Viola.
General info Guest Character Revealed on October 25 - 3rd party video game male, Ezio possibly deconfirmed. Collector's Edition info coming soon as well When a player is one round away from a win, the other player gets a free meter if not full. Had someone push a prone character off a ledge just by running at them... Lots of people complaining about Just Guard. Zero blockstun, far too powerful considering how easy it is to do, lots of people doing it accidentally. No difference in framerate between 360 and PS3 at this stage; both versions slight lag during KO/Ring Out/Perfect/Excellent notifications, but otherwise smooth at 60
Stages have to be seen to be believed, they're gorgeous. Lots more activity in them. A standout was a new one on a bridge over a moat; army was attacking a castle on the other side of the moat, defending soldiers running around on the castle side, soldiers loading and firing catapults on the moat bank, soldiers on either side of the portcullis fighting, siege engine crashing into it... Much attention to detail.
Mitsurugi 2K is back to pre-SC4 style, B follow-up doesn't work, apparently it's a different command and no longer launches/bounces. Run6 B changed, uses walk9B animation. Massive hitbox on walk8B, hits very easily. Critical Edge is kind of garbage; can't combo into or out of and does poor damage. 4A much, much faster than it used to be, general game pace notwithstanding.
Voldo Critical Edge is a rolling donut. Hits low and can OTG, deals too much damage for how useful it is. New move?: two different jumping grapples, and an oki grapple that pulls them to standing.
Astaroth Critical Edge has horrid reach, but does decent damage. Punch to the head, then grinds them into the ground with his axe. Puts them in that funny spinning prone state.
Patroclus More original moves, pretty no-nonsense attacks (throw is sword-butt to head, other is pull down and stab), more 'male'. I'm not a Cassandra player, but most people were comparing his playstyle to her. 1AB, good two-hit oki. 236B, quick shield charge. Start up good, damage good, reach good, fairly exploitable on recovery.
Pyrrha Lots of stuff taken directly from Soph and Cass, when I was playing her she was looking like SC2 Sophitia level broken. Very girly moves. Critical Edge hits all three times on block, but once on miss. No tracking. Critical Edge quote on full hit: "I can't... control it!" Dark Phoenix rises
Natsu Kind of ironic that while my biggest argument against her is "she isn't Taki", my second biggest argument against her is "she IS Taki". All her moves are Taki's; has one original move aside from her Critical Edge, which everyone knows. Also has a couple of "original" combos that are reassembled Taki moves. That one new move is a fairly quick standing stun move, reminds me of MK Sonya's kiss of death, causes crumple. Seems to be able to cancel nearly everything into one stance or the other. Stances can be cancelled into stances; saw this used to dodge attacks. Much troll potential.
ZWEI Very odd character to get used to. Had trouble getting going with him. Critical Edge is a range grapple with the wolf thing. Relaunches, so comboable afterwards. Ordinary damage, though.
Ivy New move?: aerial version of her Whip 6AB; reminds me of Apprentice's aerial Sith lightning.
Tira New move?: 66B - new sliding attack uses hoop as a buzzsaw KO cry: "It feels GOOD!"

Didn't see much SC5 today. One big thing, though; Mitsurugi's Relic stance is either changed command or gone.
Friend of mine recorded basic move lists for Natsu, ZWEI, Patroklos and Pyrrha, when he uploads them I'll link. Each one covers each direction, each direction double-tapped and a few circles combined with A, B, K and combinations thereof. Bound to have missed a few moves, but should still give a good indication of what each one's got.

I don't know how true this is, but I read in some sc forums (while searching for a new taki book) that the current movesets are not "complete" and some of the moves are place holders from old animations the characters had before; so stuff like natsu playing like a carbon copy of taki is because they are using taki's moveset as a base then swapping her unique moves as they animate her and the same being true for most characters that were present before.

The one in the select screen looks younger, without the mustache, different jawline, and the top row is entirely made of new characters (plus Ezio), so I have heavy doubts it's Dampierre, if he's in he'll be with the returning characters in the two middle rows - and the fourth row is more new characters, they said it was half new half returning, right ? Counting the custom character on lower left corner, and the 2 slots that seem to not be characters but blank spaces in the middle between Maxi and Voldo, we're looking at a cast of about 29 character.

http://shoryuken.com/2011/10/20/soul-calibur-v-nightmare-raphael-and-leixia-join-the-cast/ So Mr. Hat was in fact Raphael, meaning it's not "whole first line is all new characters". Well, it still has 29 visible slots on the select screen. Raphael and Nightmare's new designs are acceptable - Raphael is different from his usual "arrogant aristocrat" vampire-like design, but it's quite cool ; Nightmare kind of looks like a mix between his SC2 & 3 designs, except with sadface and long chin (weird), and his sword keeps looking creepier, the whole central part is more a mass of flesh and nerves/muscles with a large edge on the side. Also I can't tell the difference between Leixia and her mother.

Post by: Byakko on October 20, 2011, 07:40:08 pm
Well, the old Nightmare is still the same ; but the pitch is still that Soul Edge and Soul Calibur have become short swords rather than large swords. Probably this Nightmare is still just a remnant, like the "incomplete Soul Edge", but there might still be another holder of the real Soul Edge, which can still be Sophitia in a new Nightmare-like form.

With that face, Nightmare looks like a monster from power rangers. You know, one of the sidekicks that stay with the main villain until the end of the series and that only fights the rangers occasionally.

Dampierre was wanted in because he provided most of the humor in Broken Destiny, which few people have played. He has potential anyway, since few people played Broken Destiny.
Plus, there's something awesome about a guy that moonwalks for his walking animation. Yes. Dampierre moonwalks when he moves backward. And no, Deadpool was NOT the first one to do that.

Aw, hell! You're right. At least she's in the game at some capacity I guess? And if she plays well enough maybe I won't miss Amy so much. And I'll always have SCIV. Either way she looks fun to play.
That'd just leave Setsuka and Zasalamel on my wish list.

That's a good figure. Double-and-a-third of the item count on SCIV sounds more than reasonable.

People in the comment are saying Yoshi is in that trailer but I didn't see him Only downside about this is it seems your stuck with weapon styles already in the game.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Cazaki on November 02, 2011, 08:55:18 pm
Damn, why? The whole point of character creation in SC3 was to use fighting styles that weren't used by canon characters.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Byakko on November 02, 2011, 09:05:55 pm
What looks like Yoshi is on 4:43, just after the Rock clone and the blue-skinned Maxi, with drums floating around his waists, carrying his sword on his shoulder, with a flag on his back and what seems like a Tengu mask and a helmet. But that's only the design that's vaguely reminding of Yoshi, it's most likely a custom character with Mitsurugi's fighting style. Especially since it's amongst other custom chars.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Jesuszilla on November 02, 2011, 09:08:33 pm
4:43 was awesome just because it meant that piece of music was back.
And the character creation looks fucking awesome this time around. The horn placement kinda clues us in that maybe they took away the armor breaking as that would be hard to determine without it looking weird otherwise. Good, because the armor breaking in the last game was definitely a cheap attempt at fanservice, even if it WAS funny to see MC Hammer bounce around fighting without any pants.

Post by: Byakko on November 02, 2011, 09:21:05 pm
I think there's been things that looked like girls being less clothed in earlier videos, as in, their clothes got "broken", so I'd suppose it's still there, but I can't see what the point would be. It could still be pure fanservice. As for the horns, those kinds of extras can always break along with whatever top cloth gets broken (helmet, armor, leggings)
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5

They can just use the xyz position of the object to determine when it can be broken.

Why make him human all of the sudden isn't he stuck as a lizard man? Plus being a Lizard Man was what made him unique.

Why make him human all of the sudden isn't he stuck as a lizard man? Plus being a Lizard Man was what made him unique.
No, he was always the most generic character in the series. His generic design, his generic name, even his moveset was a copy of Sophitia. They finally gave him a better moveset in SCIII but they derailed his character from "man trying to get his humanity back" to "mindless monster trying to...well being a monster".
And it's 17 years. A lot can happen since then. The game could use a Spartan warrior anyway.

Ah i see just thought it could be possible since he had a infant daughter in Soul Calibur 3 and i believe his wife was Japanese and their child was a baby of mixed bloodline and Natsu doesn't look entirly Asian but IIRC Arthur brought his daughter with him on his journey whihc would make it so Natsu couldn't ne his daughter i guess.

The new characters are starting to get a little tiresome. First the pre-pubescent ninja with a demon sealed in her, now an aloof monkey-themed staff user. What next, a redheaded bancho samurai ghost hunter? I was about to complain about a third weapon+shield moveset before noticing Aeon is down to two axes now. It's been a long time since I've seen such a simple looking Yoshimitsu design, though. Not nearly as intricate as he's been in the past.

and save corrupting was a flaw of the chronicles of the sword mode and not because the developers didnt bugtest their game long enough?
a 2nd version was released btw which erased the safecorrupting bug. that one was released as the normal version with the same serial and the platinum / greatest hits version
It was indeed a big flaw that it took too long to burn down tower, but beside that it was fun and enjoyable
God damn it, Saltminer contact inside Namco Bandai, why are you being so slow with this? I'm still waiting for the assets.

The time it took to take down towers worked to my benefit because it alotted time for my guys to come for an assist, and it let you multi-task and get some other shit straight before you fight the big battle. If they re-worked CotS, re-implemented CaS-exclusive fighting styles and gave a decent enough story that's about as long as the old one, the game would be a lot better. It was unique and different, and added even more replayability to an already fun game.

In Soulcalibur V the previous Yoshimitsu is succeeded by a new leader of the Manji clan, therefore also titled Yoshimitsu.
http://soulcalibur.wikia.com/wiki/Yoshimitsu
As you might know, the name "Yoshimitsu" is given to the leader of the Manji clan. When there's a successor, the past leader sacrifices himself to bring his power and skills into the sword, which is then given to the current Yoshimitsu. According to the roughly translated profile on Famitsu, this one is the new Yoshimitsu, successor of the previous one (explaining Yoshi's SCIV helmet on the ground).

Ah, the Famitsu has profiles ? Right, found them.
Quote
義賊集団“万字党”の二代目党首 先代直伝の技は、弱き者達を救うために
Second head of the chivalrous thief clan "Manjitou", he uses the skills transmitted by the previous leader to save the weaks. Was the Yoshimitsu in the previous games the "first" leader ? Because all this says is that this one is the second, but maybe the one in the previous games was already the second ? The skill transmission wouldn't be anything new.

nope, you still have to play them on the ps2, or need a ps3 with ps2 backward ability
3rd method is to play them via the psxc2 emulator which emulates both sc 2 and 3 and can display them in "hd" as well

Post by: Seadragon77 on November 20, 2011, 09:00:09 pm
Seeing the new designs for the previous three (and Xima for the first time... *yawn* another Monkey King type character. How somewhat original since Namco hasn't had anyone like that before in the Soul series), I'm starting to think that Aeon is starting to be Namco's version of Wan Fu from Samurai Shodown.
Why? Neither character can decide on a freaking weapon!
Follow along:
Wan Fu started with a schimitar in SS1, then switched to a giant stone pillar of doom in SS2. For his return in SS6, they gave him a giant stick with a huge metal ball on the end.
Aeon/Lizardman started with the short sword and shield in SC1 (Made sense because he was a Sophitia clone), then changed to the short axe and shield combo in SC3 and now for SC5 he has duel axes.
Oh, and both Cervantes and Yoshimitsu the 2nd look nice as well.

You sure he's immortal? It could be possible that this is another member of the Manji clan who has inherited the Yoshimitsu mantle. That's just my opinion, though. You are more then free to basically disprove my opinion.

The world will be better without you May no one remember your name Wow Ezio buddy, that's cold. Where did you drop your Requiescat in pace ? Oh, I'm wondering if he'll have Altair, old Ezio, or Desmond customizable parts.
At the end of second match round 2 after 6:20 (just after KO, even), Ezio "breaks" Viola's cape in the same fashion as SC4, but I just can't see any visual indicator of when clothes break... Does it fit somewhere in the gameplay or is that just cosmetics ? Wow, Viola's vacuum ball super can be placed outside of the ring where it can't hit, that sucks if you fail it.

Two good things to come from that video: confirmation of extra move sets for create a souls outside of the playable cast, and the onomatopoeia hit effects.

Yeah I agree. I think it's because most people think that realism = better graphics.

So with what seems to be only 7 slots left and the only SCIV characters not represented in a character are Rock, Setsuka, Talim, Yun Seong and Zasalamel. I guess it's possible Rock being replaced with Bango getting a older Talim and Yun Seong maybe Setsuka and Zasalamel returning or getting new characters using any of their styles then two new styles.

Oh, that is so full of bullshit man. After seeing the artwork for Taki in SC4, something came to mind in my twisted little head: Sooner or later, she's going to give up those daggers and use her gigiantic boobies as weapons. Hell, it could knock people out if used correctly. :P
Now, while I'll give you the point that her character and story design is interesting... Some people aren't fans of her just for the character and story alone . ;)

Who said people wouldn't be able to buy that without going through Best Buy, and who says Best buy is the only one in the world allowed to do it ? Exclusive can easily be because everyone else will have it much later. I can't see them being literally the only ones with one full extra character forever, that'd just be downright retarded and suicidal from Namco. To me, it's just those usual shop-specific pre-order that later become available for everyone, they call those exclusives too because it's exclusive at the time of the pre-order. Until it's not exclusive anymore.

Maxi's story is him chasing Kilik and Natsu's story (other than being a great big Naruto reference) is her chasing Taki, so they might return as well. That said, Mitsurugi's been chasing Soul Edge for the past five games, he's yet to officially find it. Just saying.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Byakko on December 18, 2011, 02:20:56 pm
Mitsurugi's always been kind of not great at understanding what's going on. He thought "Nightmare" was an actual name, his bio in one of the previous games (in Japanese at least) has him talk about "Naitou" (in kanjis) as if it was an actual family name, and "Asutarou" (-tarou being a common male name suffix) as if it was an actual given name (well, it could have been just to make it easier for him to pronounce, but still). Just because he hears of Soul Calibur doesn't mean it's Algol (he doesn't know it's become a short sword now, either).

I think people are talking about the difference between DLC early unlock (As in DLC is not required to get the char) and DLC character. The very first trailer (Was it a month ago or even more?) didn't even mention him as DLC but rather just a pre order bonus (Not even a best buy exclusive back then).
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Byakko on December 20, 2011, 01:36:08 am
Pre-order bonus = DLC, can't have it any other way. Pre-order bonus means the shop gives you a code to unlock it. Well, that's what DLC means these days anyway, so it's the same thing. I've even been making a point earlier that just because it was given as an "exclusive" DLC for whatever game store it was, didn't mean it wouldn't be a DLC for everyone later on, but rather likely an early unlock. Bottom line is, pre-order bonus = DLC = early unlock, it's all the same thing, it's just a question of who gets it first, but it's highly unlikely that someone won't get it, however they call it.

I finally get the chance to see the video that showcases the four that were just announced, so here's my take (take it with a grain of salt, mind you)
-Is it me or does Xiba give me the vibe I get from Goku in DBZ Abridged? At least he isn't a total dunce though. -I love Cervantes' new voice in a totally non-gay way. It is so damn awesome... BTW, someone may want to help get my jaw up from the ground. Thanks. :) -Aeon is still the same... except for the part of him breathing fire! Thank god that's his Critical Edge move because I would hate to see that as a special move. -I was right... It is Yoshimitsu the Second. Even with that, he's still Yoshimitsu... which is a good thing.

It was totally the same. And those 50 slots in SC4 included all costume edits for official characters as well, which always bummed me out.
This time I'm hoping they improved this by making costume edits for existing characters separate from custom characters themselves (unless it's been confirmed), but I'm assuming it'll all get lumped together again.

Algol, the coolest motherfucking boss in SC, is back? I definitely approve. Hopefully this time around he gets a proper P2 costume like everyone else and not a shoddy recolor.
On another note, my guess is that Zasalamel will return since he's immortal and he's really popular and Bangoo will finally replace Rock because there are have been hints that he'll eventually get into a game and this is the perfect opportunity to do it.
Also, I wanna see Revenant as a full blown character for some reason.

It seems like it. Sure, he may not be Nightmare and Taki levels of popular, but it looks like he has a respectable fanbase. And I honestly wouldn't see a reason why he wouldn't be. He's not a bad design or anything. :P

In canon yes otherwise Angol Fear(i think) and Spawn were also Black. Anyway how old was Edgemaster was he older than Voldo or Younger.

Edge Master? Wow...TBH, I really have no experience with Edge Master. All I know was that he was in Soul Cailbur and he used all the weapons in the game. I would of preferred Charade or Olcadan myself... I dunno, I'm just more used to them.
Algol is another character I'm not used to since I didn't play SCIV. Reading the article, it said he'll be a normal character... Which means what? Someone help me here.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Moon Girard on December 28, 2011, 03:09:51 am
He was The Final Boss(depending on your character) in SCIV so when they say normal they mean he isn't a Boss anymore.

Angol Fear just has a tan. She also has that anime face which would make it harder to tell if she is black. I just looked her up and she's an Angolan (like Angol Mois from Sergeant Frog) , an alien species who destroys planets.

Post by: Mgbenz on December 28, 2011, 10:42:27 am
What are you talking about? There are still 6 characters left.
But if edgemaster and Algol take 2 of the spots in the bottom row there will be only 4 spots left unless that spot between yoshimitsu and dampirre is a character slot.
I was including both chars. when I said there were 6 chars. left but after looking at the select screen again there's actually just 5 chars. left. I'm pretty sure Dampierre is not part of the main slots. The thing in the middle might be for DLC chars.
I was guessing that that thing will house the timer but that would be pointless in a console game.

Great... as if Namco didn't think that the idea of a 70 year old man in a goddamn diaper wasn't enough to mentally scar me
Voldo, Gill and Urien say hi
I'll give you Voldo and Urien... Gill, on the other hand, is a bit laughable in the looks department. He looks like he missed the subway to get to the Giants game.
Except Algol pulls it off quite nicely. Sexily even.
But then again I'm gay, what do I know?

Yes, MGBenz is gay. It's common knowledge around here. Then again, you're new. :P
And Algol, Gill, and Urien all pull off the underwear thing because it's supposed to give them the appearance of a Greek God type figure, though less so for Urien. It just so happens that Gill had to have that skin problem going on because Capcom wanted to demonstrate CPS3's power.
The look does fit Algol far more though, and he has another article of clothing so it doesn't look as ridiculous. Plus, he doesn't look like he's wearing a diaper either. :P

I'll agree that Pyrrha is probably the most annoying character in the whole series Natsu, Xiba and Patroklos i'm waiting for story mode before i judge them and something about Viola just makes me not like her maybe because she reminds me of Amy. Heck the only reason i'm fine with Xiba for now is because his P2 outfit looks like Kilik's P1 outfit from SC2.

SC4's pitch change didn't sound robotic at all, so I'm not understanding why there's an extreme downgrade here. Hope it's an unfinished version. If not, I have the feeling we'll be stuck with an overabundance of cheesy robots in CaS...
Also, while they greatly improved some areas of CaS, it's still looking like SC3 clearly beats this one in terms of variety and amount of fighting styles. Seeing as that's what I care most about, it's a little disappointing.

Obviously. Regardless if the pitch is maxed out or not (and compared to SC4), it's still bad.
No it happens even with the Malfestation level being set to none.
Correct. If you look more carefully you'll see malfestation has little to no effect on how robotic it sounds.

It made a lot more sense to me in SC4 that you couldn't create lightsaber wielders (especially online where that's all you'd ever see).
CaS abilities for Ezio and Algol on the other hand, would've been a great fit IMO... why the hell not?

Perhaps it has something to do with all of the weapons Ezio carries? Sword, hidden blades, daggers, crossbow, hidden gun, etc. Maybe having that many different weapons on them at once screwed something up with the CaS models.

Post by: aznperson569M on January 12, 2012, 12:18:43 am
It's traditional "no guest character"
It doesn't have anything to do with Ezio's weapons. You're allowed to have CAS use Voldo, or Cervantes for that matter.
So hopefully, you can use Aeon Calcos/Lizardman in CAS, despite how funny it will be.

Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Byakko on January 12, 2012, 01:39:18 am
Actually I haven't seen that stated anywhere. He's here because he came with the boss rush mode, as a boss. If that other statement about there being 4 more characters not counting Algol and Edge Master is correct, seeing as there are only 4 spots left IINM, that does make the bosses (Edge Master being counted as one probably to replace Inferno) not part of the regular roster, even if they're probably going to be accessible through a special slot, like the extras in SC3. They're playable like all normal characters, but they're still counted as bosses. Which leads to them not having a CaS version. So yes, bosses and guests don't have a CaS, that works.

From the guy who posted the screens aznperson posted:
Quote
You get Alpha Patroklos, Edge Master, Elysium and Omega Pyrrha after completing the story mode. Elysium looks like Sophitia (she is NOT Sophitia though) but she can use any style (like Edge master). After that Legendary Souls mode is unlocked. The first fight in LS is with Kilik, after victory he is unlocked. Omega Pyrrha has the same movelist as the ordinary one but uses Soul Edge. Alpha Patroklos = Setsuka. Kilik can use any style like Edge master. There are still two slots left. I believe one is for Dampierre and the second is for Algol (or other all-style character). Create a character screen has more locked slots for styles than the arcade select screen. Two more locked slots (where Ezio and random question sign are in the arcade). One is obviously for Ezio and the second one may be a surprise. Devil Jin is in the left corner, so it’s not for him.
I know a lot of people like the all-style characters but this is flippin' overkill. also, that "Omega" Pyrrha uses no unique playstyle is disappointing. I was hoping she'd use idk, yun-seung's or Zasalamel's or something. The CaS thing is very encouraging though.

Alpha Patroklos (Setsuka style) Evil Pyrrha (Sophitia style) "Malfested" Kilik (Male mimic style, including from characters not in SC5; Zasalamel, Apprentice, Vader, Rock, Yun-Seung, Devil Jin style etc) "Final Boss" Sophitia (Female mimic style, including from characters not in SC5; Talim, etc)
Then minutes later said this
Quote
Boss Sophitia
True name: Elysium.
What, you were expecting a picture or video of some kind?
So if it is true then we have a chance to see Talim Zas Yun and rock as CaS styles but i will say WTF Namco wasn't one Pyrrha enough now we have two of her annoying self.

Amy was basically a clone of Rapheal and some of her moves were giving to Viola since Viola is probably Amy and Mina was added to Xiba.

Kilik including Vader & Apprentice is funny, and his armor (chest + helmet) makes him look like Hawkman.

Link was great, except the bombs & other weapons.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Keku on January 19, 2012, 01:56:50 am
Don't get me wrong, he was fun, but he had easy strong, fast and hard to avoid unblockables and his damn bow made having a safe keepaway game exist. It broke everything. Bombs... eh, they weren't that big a deal last I remembered. All I remember was that in any console tourney, Link was banned while Spawn and Heihachi were not.
Spawn was relatively decent and didn't seem out of place, while Heihachi (SC2 main here) wasn't too great because he had incredibly shit range, but all his counters were godly and if you knew how to EWGF off parries, you were good to go. He also had easy stuns on counters and moved relatively quick.
I miss Necrid. He was badass. Nice weapon too. It's ironic the reason he's not here anymore is the same reason we have all these new stupid designs like ZWEI and unexpected decisions like Aeon and Viola. I want him back now that there's no reason for him to not be in SC anymore, but if you can actually use his style, that'd be so fucking cool.

Aeon got Kratos's moves and someone said Alpha Pat has some of the Apprentince's moves as long as they don't use the force it could work.

All right i'm going to go on about some speculation now skip it if you want.
Spoiler: Dumb Speculation(click to see content)
I'd say the info about the characters are fake but the character themselfs aren't in arcade mode there is 3 routes regular asia and europe and Elysium would probably be the Europe boss and she was in that trailer while Kilik the Asia boss plus Kilik has connections to like 3 or 4 characters stories and Omega Pyhrra is real as the admins at 8wayrun seems to know the roster as they hinted about Alpha pat and Setsuka's style returning but her not and they have a section to discuss characters gameplay and what not and Omega Pyhrra now has her own section and if she was a mimic or was the same as regular Pyhrra she wouldn't need her own section. also it seems the Images come from the french as the Name and Style is scribbled out on the pics but name is only 3 letters in french which looks like how long the name scribble is on the Elysium screen.
Anyway a boss will be revealed on the 23rd apprantly http://games.ign.com/articles/121/1216726p1.html

Well, as you now know, Kilik and Elysium are mimic characters. Someone even posted my photoshopped photos to Wikipedia which is kinda cool. )
Elysisum is NOT Sophitia, any more info will be a major spoiler though.
Algol uses Necrid style, he is the last character in the low row.
The slot next to Voldo is for Amy (I'll call her vampire Amy as she have not aged at all), her style is the same as in SC IV with few minor changes.
Viola is NOT Amy.
You'll have to beat Algol with Raphael to get Amy.
Dampierre appeares in CaS slot in the left-low corner.

Am I the only one who thinks the time skip was a pointless idea in the end? A huge time leap and not one single character actually looks like they showed their age. There's "un-aged due to SE" (which is understandable) but then there are ones like "younger than they look". One stupid reason after another. The two characters that would really show a very drastic change form the leap, Talim and Yun-Seong, are conveniently absent from the game.
Even the replacements are just expies of their originals. They couldn't be bother to give them a more unique look. Not even Tekken 3 with it's cryogenics was as bad as this.
Btw, remind me again how Patroklos using Setsuka's style makes any damn sense?
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Alhambra on January 19, 2012, 09:04:45 pm
I'd agree. I do think that the time skip was pointless. I don't really feel like most of the cast is even new since its just "successors" mostly with very few new play styles. Most of the new character designs, like Leixia, hardly even look different from their originals. It feels like the only new characters are ZWEI and Viola.
Also I'm pretty sure the leaks actually came from 8wayrun or neogaf.

Post by: "Bad News" Hoffmann on January 19, 2012, 09:31:37 pm
yup..the timeskip sounded great.
Last year i expected something like they did in Tekken 3, that there wouldnt be a big change like made in Garou MOTW or SF III was clear but really aged characters were my expectations
But as said, yes the most characters didnt age at all or look just a bit older (Siegfried, Mitsurugi)
Edge Master looks exactly as he did in SC I which is a dissapointment for me.
All in all it is a great game i bet but those are all avoidable flaws which gives me the feeling like some people at namco cant let go of their characterdesigns from 10 years ago in SC I & II
This is especially weird since - if i read it right - a new team was working on SCV to bring in a lot new things.
Fan service might play also a role..but it is really too much.
I miss a character development in the SC series, but thats a problem which exsist for most SC characters since SC 1 already when they were basically the same than in Soul Edge
In the streetfighter games there is also not a lot visual character development but that game is not so story heavy or plays 17 years after the last part anyway.
big meh.

Aren't Hilde, Siegfried and Mitsu the only characters without SE shards or whatever making them stay young looking of the returning cast and maybe it's the facial hair but Mitsu and Siegfried looked like they did age some and if Amy is Viola she aged. Also has Edgemaster always been Immortal?

Post by: OZ on January 19, 2012, 11:42:47 pm
Welp.
Cevantes is immortal via SE Ivy's aging affected by SE...somehow Nightmare is just the embodiment of SE Voldo is sustained by SE Raphael is a vampire Lizarman is magic and we don't have to explain it Maxi apparently affected by SE? Tira apparently is as well?
The Astaroth in V is a new astaroth The same for Yoshimitsu
Edgemaster is the mysterious mentor so he has been sustained by whatever
Anyone who would have aged that wasn't Sig, Hilde, or Mitsu was either replaced or canned. Namco apparently hates drawing older versions of previously established designs.
Zasalamel has apparently just taken up pottery as it is canon that he is alive IN THE YEAR 2000
Btw, remind me again how Patroklos using Setsuka's style makes any damn sense?
so i can make a male cas version without feeling girly for using an umbrella :-\

they don't really seem to care about making sense at this point
hey at least it's a unique playstyle as opposed to Pyrrha with SE weaponskin or was that just in the fake report?
do we know what she does besides have an ugly arm?
From her Thread on 8wayrun it seems she is a fusion of herself,Sophita and Cassandra.

Quote
Pyrrha Omega (that's her real name, not Omega Pyrrha) has: - TAS - Cass' old 236K (it gave advantage on block in SCIII) - Cass' SCIV 236B (charged, screw BBCode) which is done by 236A but is much slower so I'm not sure if 236A into 236A is a combo - Sophitia's unblockable WR A+B which actually sucks because you can do either the non-UB version or the fully unblockable version (even if you hold A+B for a moment it keeps on charging, just like Asta's 3B now) - Cass' 1K with a different animation (jumps higher, probably slower startup) - Sophitia's SCIV 6B,A (or was it 6A,B?), 66B, WR K - Pyrrha's 4K, B+K,B:4, 3A+B (not sure if that's the command - I'm talking about a two-hit attack which hits grounded)
Her CE is a series of attack dealing damage, nothing special when it comes to properties.
Also, one of Pyrrhas (not sure which) has clean hit on one of her throws. I think that's B+G throw of normal Pyrrha.
I don't remember anything else, sorry.

Post by: Byakko on January 20, 2012, 09:03:15 pm
The leak describing her, if it's real, says she's no different from regular Pyrrha.
It doesn't really make any sense for him to suddenly adopt an Eastern fighting style unless somehow Setsuka died and her soul sucked by Soul Calibur.
It's just waving a sword in such and such motions. It doesn't have to be "a style specific to Setsuka, and her alone", it can be just moves her picked up that just happen to kind of look like other moves some other woman used (I know Setsuka's style is based on an actual style which is not from anywhere close to Greece but the point still stands - it's not physically impossible, even if it's improbable). Also, even if it's basically Setsuka's style, it has to have some changes, since he can't use the sheath the same way Setsuka used her open umbrella for parry and such. Also, while it's sad that regular Patroklos didn't, this Patroklone can still get some moves from Link's style, like the double spin slash or the Pegasus dash. ... I know, I'm just being delusional.

Hey now, the umbrella was a nice touch and it added to her character.
To me, they just wanted to use her style and just write her off from the storyline because of some reason that Namco will never tell us about.

Reason is she sucked :P Er, I mean... She has basically no story. She wants revenge on Mitsurugi and that's that. And now she would be 17 years older and no way she's still fighting for the same revenge. No story.

I liked the first reason better. :P
But, you are right: She really did nothing storyline wise. Maybe we will find out that one of three things happened to her:
Option 1: Mitsurugi ended up killing her in battle Option 2: She gave up the sword to live a somewhat normal life (or as normal as a American woman living in Japan could be) Option 3: Didn't die in battle... but died in some other way (natural causes, disease, whatever)

Pretty sure she beat Mitsurugi and took his sword that's why he isn't using the same one which means option 2 is probably what happens.

No extra styles for him (may be, until those styles are unlocked).
Tomorrow I'll have no school and mom planned to visit local el corte ingles, so I'll have some good change to play myselft and show some new footage to you guys!
BTW, about that Viola=Amy rumor. You know, when characters related to each other (i.e. Pyrrha and Patroklos, Xiba and Kilik) fight in arcade mode, they tend to say something story-specific. Viola and Raphael or Viola and Amy do not say anything to each other

i am sure the story mdoe will be entertaining for a while and online it will be a lots of fun, the creator modes look good as well, and the music is awesome it seems
i am a big Soul calibur /Edge/Blade fan since i played Soul Edge for the first time in 1996? 97? in a arcade and even imported the japanese playstation version as soon as it was out there
Soul Calibur was THE reason for me to buy a dreamcast Soul Calibur 2 and 3 were both great, both had some downs but all in all they didnt matter. Soul Calibur IV however was a downer. SC 5 now with all these "excuse" characters like Killik with no own sets looks like a downer for me again and the recent news about noa rcade endings and no museum mode dont make it better.
So for me it makes more sense to get another game which i think is worth the 60 euro in februar and wait for reviews of SC V and than make a decision.
I guess i made it sound like the no arcade endings and no museum mode alone would be THE reasons.
I was seriously hyped for this game, but the last weeks when it became clear that a good portion of my favourite characters since Soul Edge (Seong Mina) or SC III (Zasalamel) are not in the game even + the mentioned Mokujin like characters were quite some downers.

Eh I'll live MvC2 didn't have a gallery mode and had one ending for every character and no story mode if i wasn't sure about buying the game i wouldn't have preordered and payed it off a couple of months back game was good enough for me at that point it should be good enough now.

To seal the deal that the game is an awfully rushed game, Arcade mode has no endings and there is no Museum mode whatsoever.
Didn't you make a Felicia for Mugen based on MVC2 of all games? :P
What does a crossover with excuse plots have anything to do with an ongoing series with a progressive story?

lack of endings would be an issue because then there's no story progression. good thing the game has story mode

Actually about story mode, I forgot to mention that not all characters are playable in the mode. Some characters don't even appear in the story at all.
There are not that many in-game cutscenes as well. Most are just still scenes with pictures.

It's probably better for the strength of the overall story that there aren't individual endings. This way they don't have to write 30-something "but what if this guy won" storylines on top of the main story.

skr101274 (4 hours ago)sorry no arcade ending in this one at all.
skr101274 (8 hours ago)to be honest with you Mega lord in story mode there are three bosses on normal modeI've been trying to look at the silver lining but it's like PS keeps finding ways to muck it up.
There's no word on a museum mode or an equivalent mode where you can view character profiles either (so far).
AFAIK skr's the guy who's been leaking those videos.
Markman from Neogaf has the game as well and he's saying the same stuff.

to play trough SC IV with all characters takes at least 3 hours as well
3 hours dedicated to a story unfolding are better than 3 hours of playing through arcade over and over just to see a half minute ending
thats your opinion
in those 3 hours playing trough an arcade mode with all characters you get a feel and learn a bit about every character already...i can only speak for myself but thats what i do normally when i bought a new fighting game..after that in most cases the hidden characters were unlocked and it was time for the practice mode :-)
I did not see the whole story mode but so far i saw only fighting as patroklos and phyrrah + fights against CAS characters just like we got it partially in SC IV too
I bet it can be fun too but i rather play the previous option
but seriously, thats all in all a minor problem. Now giving Killik voldos moves. thats fucking trolling. Thats nearly like giving Ryu Blankas moveset in SFIV and introduce him as some sort of super expert who learned the moves of other characters during his years of battling everyone in the way

We were just complaining that we still had old characters despite being 17 years later (and they didn't even look older), now we're complaining that those same characters are killed / written off ? They said before that they wanted to keep going with SC6, 7 etc. clearly this here means next time we'll definitely have just about nothing but new characters. I suppose they were in this one just to dampen the gap in the transition, and to make sure we wouldn't ask "what happened to X" while still having a few new chars.

Pyrrha is one of two-and-a-half clones from Sophitia and Cassandra, so in the end it's one less character with an old style. Plus Pyrrha wasn't too successful a character design anyway, she was here 100% for the purpose of the story. Dunno about Viola and ZWEI, though they are amongst the weirdos when it comes to fighting styles, so it's like killing Voldo, I don't expect many people to complain. The only thing is indeed about the whole concept of introducing Viola and ZWEI (not Pyrrha) and then killing them. But to begin with, I don't see any reason to complain about killing off characters, much less introducing characters just to kill them immediately at the end of the same game. Even if it's a weird choice (they're wasting time working on characters that won't came back in any subsequent game ONOES, time they could have used to make characters that won't die and will stay for the next game, sparing more time to work on more characters THOSE TROLLS) I don't see the value of complaining about it. That's just how it is and I see nothing wrong with it.
... With their comment back when SC5 started about wanting to keep going with SC6, 7 etc., it looks to me like SC5 was just there to make a connection, not to be anything important, in name more than content, to say "hey, remember us ? We're still going, and we're reworking half of the series" (not that I'm dissing the work put in the story mode itself though). .... In fact, what I just said sounds like KoF XII in concept.

Yeah, backstory, right. But then again, liking Taki just because she's the only one who is officially undefeated while having no superpower (except her demonic swords, you know) isn't much of a reason, much less one to dislike Natsu just because she has a demon inside her instead of in her swords.

More Story Mode Rumors this one mentions characters endings and DLC
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Z.W.E.I and Viola is actually Yun-Seong and Amy respectively with amnesia. Algol saved both of them from being nearly malfested to death and revived them as new identities with new magic powers.
In coincidence, Z.W.E.I stumbled upon Viola who were rescued by Algol on both separate occasions away from each other, so the pair traveled together and eventually ended up with Siegfried's group in search of a successor for Soul Calibur (Alpha Patroklos)
Taki doesn't even make an in-game appearance in the game besides showing up in drawn art images in story mode. Taki traveled to the West to investigate the new troubles happening after SC/SE returned again. The ending of Natsu's storyline suggests Taki will return in another spin-off game or sequel.
Mitsurugi and Siegfried eventually confronts Algol once again but is interrupted by Nightmare and 'kills' Algol to fuse SE/SC together to become a whole new boss similar to Night Terror but is stopped by Patroklos before he can do that. Tira and Pyrrha come in to save Nightmare so the battle of Alpha and Omega happens.
If Patroklos decides to seal Pyrrha into crystal, Elysium will step in and battle him for the bad ending.
Sophitia was resurrected as a goddess after being malfested and now is Elysium by the way. Cassandra is barely mentioned.
Maxi gets to fight Kilik but wasn't able to save him in time due to Soul Edge's influence over both of them, so Xiba and Leixia have to battle both of them in an attempt to save them from corruption.
Kilik is a bad guy now because he chose not to hand over the Kali-Yuga (which had infused the remaining power of Soul Edge after SC4) to Xiba because he did not want the staff to corrupt him so he chose to try to suppress SE himself, and became distant to his friends as his personality started to change.
and turns out Kilik is actually Xiba's genetic father with Xianghua, and Leixia and Xiba are actually step siblings (but unaware of it) After Kilik left Xianghua to protect them from himself (but didn't tell them), Xianghua was forcefully married with a general at the Ming army and bore Leixia. Xianghua didn't want to tell Leixia that she had a step-brother since Kilik and her were estranged at the time when Kilik began to change and couldn't reveal that to her family and current husband who were unaware that Leixia was Xianghua's second child and Xianghua's 'innocence' was already taken by another man instead of him.
Xianghua gave Xiba under Edgemaster's care to protect him from being a target of the Ming imperial army, while Kilik vanished in the meantime.
Cervantes reveals that he was still actually cursed by Soul Edge the whole time and his human appearance was just temporary since Soul Edge would continually fluctuate or diminish with its power. Cervantes tells Ivy she is cursed just like him because they have remnants of Soul Edge power because of his bloodline, and as long as it exists, they will continue living in their current state and cannot die, and Ivy's ending shows her starting to form purple skin like Cervantes had.
Raphael encounters Viola and realizes that it is Amy, but Amy under Algol's power cannot remember her past forcing her to fight him in battle. Raphael wins and takes her unconscious body with him in hopes that he can help regain Amy's memory.
Talim, Zasalamel, Seung-Mina, Cassandra and Bangoo (not Rock for some reason but possible re-skin option) are DLC. Setsuka vanished after SC4 so that's why Patsuka was in the game to fill in her fighting stance. Might of forgotten a few more, but that's it. Pretty disappointing and predictable if you ask me.

More Story Mode Rumors this one mentions characters endings and DLC
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Z.W.E.I and Viola is actually Yun-Seong and Amy respectively with amnesia. Algol saved both of them from being nearly malfested to death and revived them as new identities with new magic powers.
In coincidence, Z.W.E.I stumbled upon Viola who were rescued by Algol on both separate occasions away from each other, so the pair traveled together and eventually ended up with Siegfried's group in search of a successor for Soul Calibur (Alpha Patroklos)
Taki doesn't even make an in-game appearance in the game besides showing up in drawn art images in story mode. Taki traveled to the West to investigate the new troubles happening after SC/SE returned again. The ending of Natsu's storyline suggests Taki will return in another spin-off game or sequel.
Mitsurugi and Siegfried eventually confronts Algol once again but is interrupted by Nightmare and 'kills' Algol to fuse SE/SC together to become a whole new boss similar to Night Terror but is stopped by Patroklos before he can do that. Tira and Pyrrha come in to save Nightmare so the battle of Alpha and Omega happens.
If Patroklos decides to seal Pyrrha into crystal, Elysium will step in and battle him for the bad ending.
Sophitia was resurrected as a goddess after being malfested and now is Elysium by the way. Cassandra is barely mentioned.
Maxi gets to fight Kilik but wasn't able to save him in time due to Soul Edge's influence over both of them, so Xiba and Leixia have to battle both of them in an attempt to save them from corruption.
Kilik is a bad guy now because he chose not to hand over the Kali-Yuga (which had infused the remaining power of Soul Edge after SC4) to Xiba because he did not want the staff to corrupt him so he chose to try to suppress SE himself, and became distant to his friends as his personality started to change.
and turns out Kilik is actually Xiba's genetic father with Xianghua, and Leixia and Xiba are actually step siblings (but unaware of it) After Kilik left Xianghua to protect them from himself (but didn't tell them), Xianghua was forcefully married with a general at the Ming army and bore Leixia. Xianghua didn't want to tell Leixia that she had a step-brother since Kilik and her were estranged at the time when Kilik began to change and couldn't reveal that to her family and current husband who were unaware that Leixia was Xianghua's second child and Xianghua's 'innocence' was already taken by another man instead of him.
Xianghua gave Xiba under Edgemaster's care to protect him from being a target of the Ming imperial army, while Kilik vanished in the meantime.
Cervantes reveals that he was still actually cursed by Soul Edge the whole time and his human appearance was just temporary since Soul Edge would continually fluctuate or diminish with its power. Cervantes tells Ivy she is cursed just like him because they have remnants of Soul Edge power because of his bloodline, and as long as it exists, they will continue living in their current state and cannot die, and Ivy's ending shows her starting to form purple skin like Cervantes had.

He responded that it's flawed since a fanfic writer would at least require to "correct maligned/disapproved story material" and "improvise upon it instead of just re-using junk we already know and shoehorning in laughable insinuations".
TL;DR: I made this thing up as a joke a few days ago and now people are actually taking it as gospel.

the costume part packs yes..those might have the 1,99 price tag
but now guys..use your brains, or just go online at PSN or xbl ..go to the soul calibur IV dlc and you see that each music track of the around 18 released ones costs ,99 cents
yes 18 dollars or euro for 18 songs
now what makes anyone now believe that a whole soundtrack of SC 1 SC2 etc would cost only 2 euro/dollars together with some costume parts hmm?
goddamnit.

At the very least, though, we've got a nondescript samurai helm and a crescent moon accessory, so looks like I might be able to put my guns on after all.
Title: Soul Calibur 5 opinion
Post by: Odb718 on January 31, 2012, 02:20:31 pm
Personally, I've stopped being a Soul Calibur fan a long time ago. There were just too many problems for me. But Every time the game comes out I give it a shot. I think the characters are unique. Their moves are pretty sweet looking. and that's about it. The mechanics of combos (if you can call them that?), ring outs, and the overall inconsistency of the game just makes it a D- in my book. SC5 is still at the same quality it's always been. Awesome looks, terrible game.
I LOVE having direction plus buttons to switch up the attacks. I try to program them into my characters as much as possible. SC takes it to a whole new level though. For the worse. It goes back to it being inconsistent. It just isnt reliable to hit down-forward plus A. I never know what move is actually going to pop out. Was I walking forward a little? Did I stop walking long enough for it to go back to the idle DF+A?? Is it going to be a different move because I hit Back+B? You may not have this problem but after 5 hours I still couldnt get my moves off consistently.
Ring outs are just one of the worst fighting game mechanics of any fighting game hands down. I think it's pathetic. It's a fighting game, not a sumo match. If they wanted it to be like sumo why doesnt the enemy lose if you trip him? Im not sure if they've had it before but you can break parts of certain maps with people's bodies or strikes. Then you can ring out people from the new holes youve made. It's cool the map breaks, but crappy that someone can ring you out where ever.
The combos are a joke imo. But when it only takes 7 hits from Nightmare to win the round should there be combos?? Yes, SEVEN hits wins the round. Two 2 hit combos and 1 three hit combo is all it takes. The three hit combo is a "long" combo. The only time you'll see an 18 hit combo is if you pull off and "Ultra". Not being able to block on the ground is my main aggravation of this game. You cant block, you cant roll, and you cant attack out of laying on the ground fast enough against certain moves. It's always been like this. I was hoping they'd come up with something better but it's still the same in 5.
The character creation is bland. You only get about 30 options for each part of the body. It sounds like a lot but when 3 are "flip flops" for the feet and the rest are ankle high boots you can see it's lacking. There's only 11 faces for the girls. No pick the eyes pick the lips pick the ears, just 11 faces. (you thought I was going to say pick the nose didnt you??) You can only pick 1 fighting style, not create a hybrid of two people's moves.
The maps in this one are... ok. There are a couple stages that are circular and the background kinda attaches to it. The problem is when you move in a circle they do parallax scrolling to the spot where it attaches to the floor! It messes with your eyes. They try to make it look like the background is very far away but it just looks terrible.
The characters are knocked out of their clothes. It's kinda stupid. There's no real damage details like MK9. The clothes just break off their body. Some times it's cool to have Yoshimitsu's mask get punched off. Other times it's ALL of the clothing and the person's fighting in their underwear.
I played the game for about 5 hours tonight against one of my friends. My cousin will most likely play for another 5 hours when he gets the chance. After that I'm not playing it again. I'd rather spend my time on MvC3 which I think is another broken game.
Flame away if you'd like, it's just my opinion, but SC5 gets a D- like it's predecessors.

Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Odb718 on January 31, 2012, 02:45:42 pm
I originally posted that rant as it's own topic. I guess it got merged in here. But I think the Soul Calibur series could take a turn for the better. To me the things that make it unique are the horizontal/vertical attacks, the weapons, the fact that it's 3D, and the uniqueness of the characters. Where else can you get a pirate that can fly across the screen? Or a pervert that humps the air after he wins? To me SC has always been one of the best at moving on the Z axis. It's always felt the most 3D game out there. The horizontal and vertical set up is pretty unique to any fighting game. It works well with how easy it is to strafe. It's probably my favorite attribute of the SC series.
I just wish the matches would last a little longer. I think 60 seconds is the longest you can set the clock? Having Ring Out and massive damage on regular "punches" is the main problem. The lack of longer manual combos is secondary. But it'd be a lot more obvious if the rounds went on longer. I think if Ring Out was permanently dropped, the second time SC came out without it, no one would be crying for it's return.

Post by: Seadragon77 on January 31, 2012, 03:02:58 pm
Looking through the VA cast that Salty has provided, I have a few things to add and a few questions.
First to add... If I remember right, Lani Minella (Ivy) also provided the voice for Sindel and Sheeva in MK9.
Now, to some questions..
Quote
Astaroth: Michael McConnohie (Seth in SF4, Kano and Ermac in MK, Sabrewulf in Killer Instinct)
*Cue the Ragna-styled WHAAATTT?!?!* What proof do you have that McConnohie voiced Sabrewulf? I demand answers!
Third and last:
Quote
Algol: Jamieson Fucking Price (Heihachi for SFxT and T:BV, Noob Saibot in MK, Iron Tager in BlazBlue, Lu Bu in Dynasty Warriors, Nier in Nier, Elvis in God Hand, Kirei Kotomine in F/SN)
If you need someone to voice a badass, you might as well hire Price to do so. Why? It seems like all he does is voice badasses (Come on... Tager is a badass. Noob is a badass and Heihachi is BEYOND badass. Make sense for him to voice Algol).
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: SNT on January 31, 2012, 03:05:27 pm
All the VA references I pulled either from IMDB or their wiki pages. McConnohie being Sabrewulf was an uncredited role, not so common knowledge.

Flame away if you'd like, it's just my opinion, but SC5 gets a D- like it's predecessors.
not your cup of tea, we get it it's not like you said anything that incendiary
though i will say, the reason 'combos' are lacking is that if you could actually pull one off, and your opponent wasn't able to stop it, it's just about match SC's gameplay isn't really conducive to '18 hit combos'; that only really works in faster paced games with lighter damage
SC has always had a slower, deliberate feel to it for me, and i fully agree with you about finding the 60 sec clock a nuisance i feel restricted by it, and wish they'd give us a 120 at the very least, so we can see who actually won the match as opposed to seeing who was ahead at halftime
everyone hates ring outs, until they cause one, then they love them, until they get ringed out, etc it's an alternate win condition they usually include a completely walled stage, aka "boring vanilla castle"
picking the game up after work :P

Just as a side-note, they're precisely trying to speed it up, faster gameplay, and they're having the Soul Edge & Calibur changing to short swords instead of a giant sword being representative of that change. That producer guy (Tago is it ?) pointed it out in the quick step tutorial video.

Unlikely. The models were found in the same section as SC4 Nightmare, SC4 Siegfried, and Ghost Cervantes, which implies they were due for Boss Rush duties. Kamikirimushi used Nightmare's movelist, so using her as a placeholder for another Nightmare boss character (Night Terror?) is logical, and Zasalamel of course has Abyss from SC3.

on the srk forums i saw quite mixed feelings, some praising it as the technically best SC, some are of course complaining about the roster, some call it a "Soul Calibur 4,5" i read it also multiple times that moves were removed from many characters and not many new moves added, actually some characters would have less moves than in previous games (yoshimitsu, cervantes, lizardman/aeon)

I'll echo Person Man's sentiments about the story mode. That was a complete joke... I didn't realize that the story of two great and powerful swords clashing against each other all throughout history was going to be turned into the 'Patroklos and Pyrrha Hour guest starring ZWEI'. Kind of made me wish there were some endings in arcade mode because the story mode didn't resolve a damn thing.
I will say one thing about story mode though: Elysium sure looks a hell of a lot like Sophitia... Hell, she even has the same lack of modesty Sophie did. :P

Story was godawful. It's like a twincest romance novel or something. Actually made me hate Pat more than Pyrrah. Arcade endings would have definitely been better.

as much as it makes fun beating various people i dont know and hear them call me a fucker when i smacked them with a buttkisser by kuma in T6, its not half as fun as being in the same room with the person, i am also not afighting game player who masters characters, i learn the important things and thats enough
story, music, character, move designs, and last but not least the music are things i care about. I didnt play SC IV a long time while i loved the single player modes /missions in SC I-3 and of course SE
should i get this game now or pre order sf x t already and wait either for an upgrade of scv or the moment when its cheaper?

not sure how i feel about gameplay really it feels less solid than previous incarnations, to me at least
getting combo'd to death by the a.i is not exactly my idea of a good time
the decreased recovery is a tad infuriating feels more combo oriented and less soul calibur
i mean, i'm getting the hang of it, and who knows, i may get good eventually it's just a very different game
Editor's note: those sons of bitches nerfed the absolute shit out of cervantes' teleport slash (a personal favorite)

So far I'm thinking Legendary Souls is the motherlode of equipment unlocks. Brace yourself for that (or not, if you can find some fast-hitting Quick Dash moves).
Like in the previous SC's CaSs, you still might have to put extra stuff on your series-inspired creations like Spawn or whatever, even if they never belong there in the original design of said creations.
Not unlocked much, so I still have to use General Shoulders(?) on Dante and Vergil.
Even tried to make an Ancient Bayonetta with the current available equipment, and she looked basic as fuck, so I just called her Bea Nutz.

Video showing the stuff from the first dlc pack http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_FBBkRGIjQ&feature=player_embedded
A way to get high quality screenshots of your CaS characters. Here's a secret for those who have PS3s. Go to Creation Mode, choose any of your already made characters and bring them into edit mode. Then push start and a menu will pop up. Choose View and you get a nice clear look at your character, changing poses with R1 and L1. At that point, open the PS3 menu and go to the pictures section and choose "Take a Screenshot" or something along those line. Follow the prompt and BAM! You got the file in the Picture section, ready to export onto a thumbdrive to share with the world.

We don't see much of Graf Dumas, this is apparently a CaS that is likely based on Raphael's body (P2 costume). We only see Dumas in the drawn sections of the story, and while he does look vaguely similar to Raphael, you can't really say much from drawings, especially when his face is obscured most of the time. I suppose that's where the fake story leak (about Raphael being really a ghost and Nightmare using his dead body) came from.

Gettin game today after so many delays. And even if it feels like a chore sometimes it`s no better then just playing Nightmare`s Arcade 24/7 just to unlock enough gold for CAS items.
And is Algol harder then Tower of Lost Souls as I beat that first try (Pure luck in every form, but I used triple nightmare of my best CAS Nightmare I could make, never won again without gettin luckier or using that combination) I want to know if I'll get my ass beat.
Edit: Beast legs seem nice.

I'd say he is harder now in LS .
If you want to unlock him the easier way just go to quick battle after your level 12 set the search to europe and intermidate, new opponets first and look for theamos in that fight he isn't all that hard

So i just beat LS mode and i must say this one quote sums it up perfectly
Quote
A demon possesses the AI. One that thinks human rage tastes quite nice
this mode isn't even worth it they decide to puish you for losing by not awarding you player points after a certain amount of loses it doesn't make you any better at the game it probably makes you worse as you need to use the cheapest tatics to beat the AI and if you try these in a real match it probably won't get you far.
Edgemaster is beyond cheap it's like your fighting the most perfect thing to exist if someone ever has the speed and excution he has they are on a higer plane than the rest of us Elysium is almost as bad but they both spam their strongest moves over and over the only good thing is that Algol looks like a baby compared to the rest of the fights i beat him in one try and he never won a match. I take back what i said about him being harder in this game he isn't.
All in all this mode makes you feel like Yamcha going against any other non human character in DBZ.

Fixed.
Whoever programmed the AI in LS mode must have a very deep-seated hatred of the world and everyone in it.
Alright i guess that's a better example, yeah i'd say so it felt like i was fighting every SNK boss one after another.
Guess i should note i was using Raphael who don't nomally use, Having chest pain, haven't touched traing mode yet, and i'm medicore at best so that may be why Edgemaster and Elysium seemed like Gods among men.

Post by: Byakko on February 04, 2012, 02:52:03 am
They're insanely strong, it's like there's a tier above God tier just for them. Instant crouch while guarding to avoid grabs (that's a reaction time of a couple of frames here), instant high-low switches and baits (KILIK !!!), insane strength, range (Nightmare), switching between stand, crouch and sidestep to always avoid anything you try (I'm talking even with your faster, near instantaneous attacks here), always go very aggressively for the ring out (while frenetically getting away from it rolling on the ground when down), will always pull specific strongest combos that stun you in the middle to never let you recover, of course all of that extremely fast and always with extreme precision depending on every position (they combo like a machine gun)... In the meantime, you can never recover and guard fast enough, and your combos have a much harder time connecting than theirs. Yet they do fall for repeated cheap tactics. ... After dozens of retries, because you really don't always get to kill them even by being cheap. You can predict them, you learn their tactics, all the combos they do in every situation, but you still can't be faster than them with as much precision with such speed. I think I went up to beating Siegfried and then ragequit. ... And then I found an Alpha Patroklos on the same level in Quick Battle. Fuck you.

How Nightmare's CE works: Sit back and let it happen = fucktons of damage super. Interrupt it = normal damage counter super, depending on how soon you interrupt it. Walk up and throw his stupid ass while he's charging = burnt meter with nothing to show for it.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Seadragon77 on February 04, 2012, 01:00:50 pm
The same could be said for Asteroth's CE, except replace 'Walk up and throw his dumb ass' with 'stay the fuck out of his throw range'
Come to think of it, most CE's can be avoided in that fashion (Algol and Elysium are probably the only ones that have distance).
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5

cervantes' is long distance, but it is quite literally the easiest thing in the game to dodge while you can't usually block a critical edge in time if you were open when it starts, you can ALWAYS duck in time
it's only useful if the opponent is in the air, is in an attack, or as a combo ender

LS was a pain, yes. At first I wondered if it was me just not being used to some of the new stuff in the game, but after seeing some comments, I guess it's not just me. Relieved that I eventually beat it with my Siegfried CAS though, though it took me a good while.

Character creations is my favorite, way too much fun with that mode for months to come.
Played through story and appears everyone was right about the overall writing. Such a pity not all characters appear, let alone different arcs and some had one or two lines being fading away for no reason. I enjoy storylines in fighting games, angry that no character endings were made in arcade. At least Tira X Pyrrha made up for this to me.
Quick Battles, defeated several A1 and Harada_TEKKEN with Ezio before going the cheap route. The AI was coded by Japanese Mugen patch makers I swear.
Online mode is wonderful with almost no lag. Can actually do movements properly.

Yes but for the correct glasses you need to be lvl 9 assuming he wears the avaitor glasses.
Thanks, hopefully by the time I have a majority of the items unlocked players will have guides for making certain characters(like dat Devil Jin above, it looks fantastic) on it. Other sets of glasses and trenchcoat make me think some of dem trenchcoat mafia can join the game. >:D
Nothing. I just think it's just a dick move that they left him in the way they did.
I aggre, the blank space, fighting his style and the character itself ingame with no way for me to unlock him without paying stupid prices on Ebay really pisses me off. Did Namco hint at any date of his release? I even heard due to the preorder deal he was banned already. I'd at least like to try him out and at least see if what I'm missing is worth it. :-\

no clown makeup for gamz? whats gamzee and karkat weapons?
He's got the makeup. It's just a little hard to see white-on-gray. Look at his face versus Karkat's and it should be easier to see. I gave Karkat Astaroth's style because it's the only one with a scythe. Gamzee is Edge Master because of his jokerkind specibus.

My version of Devil Jin you can make pretty early on to be honest, I'm only level 12, and I had most of the parts by 8 *if not already having them all from the start* I recently got my chain belt which looks just like the one Devil Jin wears, so aside from the wings, which I don't know when I unlock, it should be pretty easy to recreate.

Instead of making a new soulcalibur game namco should make create-your-own-character-bur and give no fucks at all to plot or the fighting styles making sense, that way we can have capoeira, gun kata, etc... etc... etc... as long as they make the atributes and fighting styles relatively balanced... but then they would be shooting themselves on the foot.

Just played SC5 at a friend's house. Here's what I have to say;
Story is boring, sounds like a incest fanfiction basically, and Arcade mode is stupid. Ezio's pretty cool, actually. Guard Impacts are useless since they take meter, and I hate the guard system in this game.
What I really don't get, is how Patroklos uses Setsuka's moveset, and how they justified it. Really, they could of at LEAST made Edge Master teach him, or something.
CAS is the bomb.

I'm reading a lot of comments like that. For some reason. It looks like it's just a case of culture shock, with Japan being very big on brother-sister love, and the West immediately taking this as incestuous love.
Well, already in SC4 they weren't putting much thoughts in depicting everyone's story in the game (same with Broken Destiny, it was just one very weird story mode wannabe), so now that nobody has an arcade ending anymore, the only thing left is CaS and PvP. I find it a bit odd that everyone is having a double-take on that, since every other game is in the same situation as soon as you're done with arcade mode... In fact it's pretty good already that CaS is developed. Some games have one arcade run for everyone, this game has CaS... instead.

SCV has a lot less content than any other Soul Calibur thus far, it deserves a lower score.
What I really don't get, is how Patroklos uses Setsuka's moveset, and how they justified it. Really, they could of at LEAST made Edge Master teach him, or something.
It was a childhood toy of Patroklos'. Changing to it from the sword and shield is supposed to be symbolic of him ceasing to chase his mother and become his own man.

A.k.a hair style name, pants name, etc, I also textured his gloves now to have that crackled pattern he should have. All I want is the angel wings, but I'm not sure how long that will be.
Just the chains on the arms/leg and horn position, after that it's a matter of tampering with all the patterns you can place on the clothing, like how I had to layer red diamonds over his boot to make it look red all around on only one foot. The tattoo placement is fairly easy, just requires some resizing really, but it doesn't take too long.
As far as sheer content goes SC3 might be the best but people shit on it for reasons I'm not quite sure about.
I wanted to like SC3, I really did, but with that save glitch it had going for it, I didn't bother with it much. Any time I moved data, or wrote new data on my memory card, it would corrupt my data, and I'd have to start all over from the beginning again, so I lost interest after having it happen a few times.

Similar experience here, and I never had problems either. It's a shame people get so hung up on the (easily fixable) corruption issue, because they're missing out on the hands-down best edition in the series all-around. In fact nearly all of its most-criticized glitches (like the variable cancel) were only a problem if you allowed them to be. The flow of matches still feels best to me in SC2, but the sheer amount of high-quality content in SC3 still has yet to come close to being beat. The literally dozens of extra modes/match types, Chronicles of the Sword, and numerous unique fighting styles just for custom characters (which for some reason were never brought back since) still keep me coming back.
That said, I'm having a great time with SC5. While some key features are noticeably absent and/or hideously watered down, it's still a huge step up from SC4; mostly since what it does have feels far more polished. I actually enjoyed most of the story mode. CaS is vastly improved from anything done before it (although I desperately wish I could edit the shape of faces (most of which are the exact same faces from SC4's CaS)). It's almost frustrating that you can't do *more* with your well-crafted characters once you finish them, like placing them in unique mode for CaS characters, giving them more personality with cut-scenes etc (ala Chronicles of the Sword).

Sorry no, SC5 > SC4 and Broken Destiny. I don't even see how you can justify calling SC4 better than SC5 when it has nothing more and a lot less - even if SC5 doesn't have much (no story mode, half as much CaS and I presume inferior netplay though I never compared) (oh, and the Critical Finishes which were useless replaced with Critical Edge, and the breakable clothes, also unusable).

MetaCritic MetaScore SCV 82 % From 36 reviews SCIV 85% From 65 reviews SCIII 86% From 57 reviews SCII 92% From 41 reviews SC 98% From 24 reviews
its not just IGN its the overall feel of reviewers.
Lets see how forumthreads about SCV on another board look, i used the headlines of the currently top 10 forumthreads there I sincerely regret buying this game This game cheats so hardcore are you guys using the 360 controller? The thing I was most excited for is the biggest let-down... Anyone else tired of the Calibur Vs. Edge storyline? Just returned the game for store credit 1st week of release, 100k+ facebook members want individual stories in SC5 Any tips on using alpha Patroklos? Legendary Souls....

Opinion, it only removed 3 styles and 3 variations (Yunseong, Talim, Zasalamel, Rock, Amy, Mina) and added 3 styles (ZWEI, Viola, Devil Jin) (though some characters also inexplicably lost some good moves - like Mitsurugi's "parry with sheath while taking a step, and roll over the opponent's back")

Mitsurugi also lost Relic stance. And because Relic stance had three or four different ways to swap between Relic and Mist (the one he kept), Mist is a neutered version of its former self too. I'm fucking mad.

Arcade/story in SC4 was nothing more than one scene per character and some text :blank: Yes, SC5 doesn't even have that, but I don't see why it makes such a difference to not have it here. It's lazy, but it wasn't much to begin with.

SC4 was a poor example to begin with, which I didn't use. The franchise as a whole has set a standard of pretty cool SP features, which they've flat out abandoned this generation. Ironically without them the game just doesn't have lasting value any more.

Mitsu's missing relic stance has me pissed. Completely senseless. I can agree with a lot of the complaints people levy against SCV, but the core gameplay feels like an improvement over IV.

Yeah, I don't deny that, I loved the way the story was developed and the Edge Master mode to gain various weapons and the work put into the story mode of SC3 - even if you'd easily end up skipping the boring text, you knew there was a lot of thought put into it. But I meant specifically the attitude that says it dropped even between SC4 and SC5. SC4 had already lost a lot of interest in that regard, and SC5 simply isn't a lot better but it's not worse. It certainly dropped from being awesome, but SC4 had nothing better than SC5. And then the special edition includes a "letter" from the producer & head dev Odashima and Tago saying they put all their love in this game to make it the best... Yeah, okay, you lost a whole lot of it since the first Soul Edge/Blade. Why do they get so much pressure to release it as fast as possible instead of working it out for a longer time, stupid companies and their need to tighten schedules :[
The bonus artbook points out that Mitsurugi lost all his family to war and famine as usual, but this time there's a man claiming to be his eighth younger brother. You know Mitsurugi's gonna get replaced next time by that guy (but it's stupid there's no individual arcade ending to at least show us that guy's face so we don't wonder where the fuck he comes from next time).

You must have conveniently ignored the part earlier where I pointed out that SC4's story was shitty to begin with, just so you could point out the self-contradiction in my post. The only good thing to come out of it was Algol with his backstory. SC4 story scenes might as well not have been there at all (and the scrolling text at the beginning was just plain bad), that's why I'm not counting them as what SC4 has over SC5. I said that before, but whatever makes you lol.

If they'd taken the time to show any of that I would have felt better about the story mode.
Hell, if Setsuka were in the game with some sorta "stop Pat's revenge" or "Save the Orphans from whatever" story I would have been happy. I mean, its about as much if not more narrative than most of the other characters ended up with anyways.

AFAIK we don't even know that for sure, SC5 has its opening which is its own version of the events and it doesn't confirm her ending. Plus, when SC4 came out, Hilde's ending looked just so damn cheesy it was hard to believe hers was the canon ending.

That's probably just to fuel the fan pairing. Wouldn't be surprised if that detail is never elaborated in main plot.

one ign reviewer reviews a ps2 game released in 2007 and a year later a different guy reviews a dumb wii game and it gets a higher score than what the other reviewer gave godhand. they are different people with different opinions. it's not a nitpick, it makes the comparison utterly pointless

Fixed Jin's pants, eye colour and chain belt, might end up switching the boots for the leather shoes just so that way the pants overlap his shoes like they're supposed to.
Oh my god... it can't be. It's Bobobo! Too bad the weapon can't be made of out of nose hair. :(

^ Ha! I had forgotten about that show.
Is anyone else having any trouble getting online to work? I don't know if it's my connection or what, but I haven't been able to get a match all weekend. It keeps disconnecting me every time I try to start a match. It's a good thing I'm enjoying CaS mode so much, otherwise I'd probably be a lot more pissed off.

Looks good also how did you get it so one boot was one color while the other is a different color.

Out of curiosity I'm putting together a list of moves for characters that have been cut for SCV:
Mitsurugi: Relic stance, and all the awesome stuff therein
Cervantes: Shadow Flare without needing Dread charge
Nightmare: Quick Revenger just input for the extra hit
Natsu/Taki: Holding Ninja Cannon for extra hits
Mitsurugi: Holding Shin Slicer to delay
Anyone think of others?

I don't remember the name of it, but what about that teleporting drop slash Cervantes used to be able to to? I think the command was something like Back, B+K...or maybe the command was just changed I haven't spent as much time as I used to in previous games with him.

I mentioned it before, but I'll just say it again, just create a pattern layer on the one side you want, I used red diamonds I think I used about 3 to cover up the area I wanted, just remember to select the right part you want the design on and it should be pretty easy ;)

That's Shadow Flare. You need to do it out of Dread charge now, same as Geo Da Ray.

Mitsurugi also lost his... I think it was called Steel Roll, one step forward putting his sheath up for Guard Impact, and rolling over the opponent's back and slicing at the same time. Haven't tested many characters yet, barely used Siegfried.

CaS is great but i wouldn't say it's the best thing about the the game to me it's the gameplay improvement(though some of the moves they cut is dumb) i have more fun in a battle than i do making a character and concerning content if you compare to 4 you have Multiple what if endings(excluding rock's and whoevers ending they followed for 5) - one single story Arcade-Arcade Training-Training CaS-CaS Online-Online Tower of Lost Souls - Legendary Souls & Quick Battle Vs-Vs/Battle Theater Museum Mode - you can listen to stage music in options. overall the game is a upgrade compared to 4 all it's missing is a Weapon Master/CoTS mode and considering 4 didn't have one eithier i see no way how 5 is worse than 4.

I've had pretty good luck overall, sometimes it's just a minute or two of waiting, and sometimes it's near-instant. Finally beat the story mode, I can see what people meant by it being very weak, something tells me that Soul Calibur 6 will end up being a prequel since they have 17 years to work with what was left after SCIV. I really didn't like the presentation of the story, I'd rather they did better artwork as in the endings for past SC games when they had the black/white(or beige) endings rather than the current setup, whenever a cutscene wasn't present, I felt like I was watching a slideshow of concept art.

Ragna has the same problems my Jin has, would benefit from the necessary hair otherwise he's ok, Jin needs work, maybe you don't have all the parts yet, but you should play around with colours/patterns to make him look better. I think a different choice for Ryu's Face would have been better, and definitely a sleeveless uniform.

Donutman your Zenia should use the Manicas and just use stickers or something for the other hand and you should of gone for an easier blazblue character like Noel.
yeah, lacks the resemblance of the hair and she's missing the headband, so she ended up looking more like casual morrigan if anything
to be fair though i tried making her in sc4 and it didn't come out very good. her weird tights are probably the dealbreaker there
yaa, i also was thinking about adding the headband , but it was N/A, also, thats the longest hair I have at the moment for female characters, im not fully done with her yet , not till I get all the items needed, I just hope their available in the game
Try using some kind of leggings rather than actual pants. Also, the 'Long Leather Coat' item would probably work really well for that character.
I tought about adding that for her, but it didn't seem like a good choice since the character doesn't were it when she start fighting in the source games

Anyway here's some Custom Characters:

(http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x149/jdplayer556/Soul%20Calibur%205%20Screenshots/SOULCALIBUR.png) Probably my favorite of my custom characters, Sin. She's probably gone through the most cosmetic changes/edits.
(http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x149/jdplayer556/Soul%20Calibur%205%20Screenshots/SOULCALIBUR_4.png) One of my North Star Heroes characters, Alexandra. Which reminds me I really should work on that more often. :P
(http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x149/jdplayer556/Soul%20Calibur%205%20Screenshots/SOULCALIBUR_1.png) A terrible attempt at Area from Street Fighter EX. Can't decide on a fighting style, So I just stuck with Elysiums.
(http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x149/jdplayer556/Soul%20Calibur%205%20Screenshots/SOULCALIBUR_2.png) And here's my avatar character, Jp. Not much to say other than he was the first thing I made when I got the game.

I don't have pics, but I do have some ideas from an old fighter... Anyone remember Mace: The Dark Age?
Well, I've managed to create Lord Deimos (using Soul of Siegfried. I may change it to Soul of Nightmare when I unlock the Steel Paddle since that is the nearest thing to his sword in the game) so far.
Next up is Ragnar Bloodaxe (Soul of Aeon). I wish there was a schmitar based style, because I want to make Al' Rashid.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Moon Girard on February 19, 2012, 03:12:36 am
I remember that game Deimos is the red armor guy right and Lexia has a Schmitar type sword so use could use her.

I think as a fun challenge, maybe for the day, certain days or for the week we should have a "Create a character theme/likeness challenge" Like let's say, Battle Arena Toshinden, Duke would be the easiest I think lol, Basically Siegfried with greenish hair and purple layers of chainmail and undergarments underneath silver armour.

I like this idea...
As for Mace: The Dark Age: I know that Lord Deimos, The Executioner, Al' Rashid, Namira, Xiao Long, Takeshi Tsunami, Ichiro Tsunami and Ragnar Bloodaxe could be made in SC5's creation mode.
Those who can't be made: Mordos Kull (No mace weapon), Koyasha (No sai weapon), Taria (She uses a sword and a dagger, while the nearest comparison would be Hilde, but she uses a spear and dagger), War Mech and Pojo (for very obvious reasons)

Yea....no. It's impossible to tell a rage quit from the game d/cing you two because lol lag spike.
Actually, you can tell the difference. Happened to me just now.
D/C: "Your connection to the opponent has been lost." Rage Quit: "Your opponent has exited the match."

So is this game as dead online as I'm hearing? I've been considering renting it but if it's just gonna be a wasteland I won't bother.
Whoever told you that must not be playing online a lot. I can find both ranked and player matches online easily And I don't see it going dead anytime soon because it's online features are pretty decent

So I got around to playing this yesterday. The story was... okay. I didn't find myself hating the Alexandrias as much as I feared. Reminded me of one of those soapy animes I used to watch but I could get away with it. I do agree that a little more info about the rest of the cast would have been nice though.
As predicted, got my ass handed to me on Legendary Souls or whatever it's called. :/ So cheap.
Creation is fun, but definitely need more stuff unlocked!

They're unlocked via leveling. I think you unlock the last items at level 53.

By 17 years she's old and wrinkly so she won't be in, or her tits that are bigger then ivy's makes her age slower and still look young justy like maxi.
Chances are there may be a shopkeeper though.

If there is more DLC, you can bet that they aren't going to bring in any character that they can't get away with not aging the design to match the time-skip. That's probably why Talim wasn't in to begin with. They couldn't come up with an excuse for her to still be 15 after 17 years.

Post by: aznperson569M on March 16, 2012, 03:54:12 am
They didn't come up with an excuse for Patsuka (Unless you read somewhere else on the internet about Patroklos' background), but they can easily make that style only for custom characters. I can (Kinda) live without having the character, but I'd rather have the style.

Best part were finally getting the Asura Arms (http://8wayrun.com/attachments/accessories2-jpg.13427/) and everything else will be off disc dlc unless they sell the SC4 and Inferno outfits or make them parts for CaS.
on the stream they said patch notes will be released Monday.

Because they can't have that happen with characters like Nightmare. It'd be too homo hetero, and it wouldn't work.
And of course, it gives them an excuse to add japanese stuff.

Patch is up now.

Cassandra is mad at some god after she discovered Sophitia's daughter was infected by the blood of Soul Edge, so she goes on a journey to try to destroy the sword. During her journey she encounters Sophitia who refuses to let her continue. They fight and Sophitia knocks her out. When waking up, she's in weird looking place, in what looks like a different dimension. Cassandra finds Sophitia unconscious in a room in the castle they're in. But before Cassandra has time to do anything, the weird dimension environment engulfs her. After that everything turns to normal, and Cassandra is nowhere to be seen.

"Sophitia's sister. Possess an unyielding spirit and the courage to even step against the gods without fear. Loved her sister, and was always the playmate for her sister's children, Pyrrha and Patroklos. [?] The day Cassandra started to fight was when it was discovered that her sister's children possessed the cursed sword's evil. Seeing her sister crying, Cassandra's anger towards the Gods began to grow. Following her emotions, she ran to the temple of Hephaestus, and picked up the weapons of the god which were left there. She embarked on a journey to destroy the cursed sword in her sister's place.
Eventually, she infiltrated the home of the cursed sword, Osthreinsburg Castle. But who stood in her path was none other than Sophitia, who surrendered to the evil sword after her daughter was taken hostage. Cassandra was so shocked, that she was knocked out unconscious from a single strike from her sister. By the time Cassandra woke up, her surroundings were warped into a strange place. With the destruction of Soul Edge, the Astral Chaos that corrupted the castle began to contract quickly. Dragging her injured body along as she looked for Sophitia, she finally found her sister's collapsed body in one of the castle's rooms. Cassandra rushed over there instantly. Just at that moment, a rift to another dimension opened in front of her eyes. ----Several moments later, the castle's surroundings returned to normal, but there was no sign of Cassandra's figure. "

Sorry, I guess I didn't explained it clear. Xianghua gave birth to Kilik's child, and discovered that he was infected with the evil energy, as he inherited from Kilik.

Rothion kinda failed at everything he did.
Quote
-Sophitia's husband (Rothion) turned from blacksmith to tool maker because he felt his weapons didn't protect anyone.
-Rothion went to search for Sophitia, but he couldn't find a way into the roman empire.
-2 years later, he became sick and died.
-Sophitia's brother was mad at Rothion for a while for keeping quiet about Sophitia's disappearance.
-He's a baker and he taught that to Patroklos. Sophitia's father is a baker too and that's been their family business. Sophitia's dad died of illness of knowing that his daughter went missing.
+ The five gals of Hilde are part of Wolfkrone's elite, and are extremelly loyal to her. Gerhilde is the head of the elite. The 3 malfested following Astaroth were part of it too, but got lost during a battle to the malfestation. + The Phantasm are spectral figures created by Cervantes from the souls he consumes. Valmiro is just related to him, and IIRC it was his second mate. + Raphael's three slaves are just that, his slaves. Marienbard has some knowledge of Soul Calibur's story, though. + Solnhofen is a former Bird of Passage member and Tira's superior. + The Skeletons are dead warriors serving Zasalamel as slaves. Revenant is the same guy from 3, if there's any doubt about that. + Ukon and Sakon are Yoshimitsu's men. + And just to include this, there's nothing about Zas' illusions (Frederick, Xianglian, Arcturus) or the Maxi Doppelganger. + Dampierre stole several national treasures from Wolfkrone during his escape 17 years ago (aka, his BD profile) + Dampierre is also the one who sold Pyrrha into slavery, after "smooth-talking" her (the bastard!) + Cervantes has a very healthy relationship with Dampierre too, selling him the stuff he gets from looting. + Hephaestus has given out new oracles and a new set of sacred warriors has been born. They have a secondary objective besides the destruction of Soul Edge, fight the "beast who devours people" (aka Aeon). + Ares is confirmed to be the one who bestowed Aeon with his new powers. Apparently, he and Hephaestus are now enemies (seems poor Aeon can't get any breaks, right?) + Ivy has received information about the alternate world (aka Astral Chaos) from a "mysterious supporter".
Pyrrha Note: "Cursed blood flowing through her body" The body of Pyrrha's mother, Sophitia, was once struck with fragments of the evil sword upon Soul Edge's destruction, but one fragment was impossible to remove and was left alone. That piece was buried close to her heart, and she could die from damage to the heart if attempted to remove.
That piece of the cursed sword continued to emit evil energy within Sophitia. 3 years later, Sophitia gave birth to her child Pyrrha. Having undertaken all the evil energy flowing in her mother's body, Pyrrha was born as a child with a powerful evil aura.
The fragment of the cursed sword increases in power by devouring the souls of opponents killed by Pyrrha. Forced by Tira, Pyrrha has already claimed the souls of others several times. Now Pyrrha's body, whenever a destructive emotion flares up, is corrupted by an overflowing of evil energy.
Natsu Note: Growing up with the stigma of being "possessed by an evil spirit" Since Taki had often to leave the village to carry out missions, Natsu was raised as the adopted child of Chie. The gentle Chie was always there to heal Natsu's heart, injured by discrimination. While as a child Natsu was a shy girl, she gradually grew up into a cheerful and lively girl after receiving Taki's teachings. Now that Natsu has met a "friend" for the first time, Leixia, how has she changed?
Natsu appears to pay attention to the appearance of a girl of her age. Despite being accostumed to the prejudice around her, she still seems to suffer from handling her unruly hair every morning.
The best ninja in the Fu-Ma clan and Natsu's teacher. Having throroughly studied both the forging techniques of the blacksmith group and the demon-sealing techniques of the sealing group, she's the sole member of the Fu-Ma clan to be a veteran in both areas. She supports her apprentice Natsu with her entire being, and has protected her from several crisis. While she carries the burden of being responsible for the misfortune that befell Natsu's life, she's still determined to do what must be done in the case Natsu turns into a demon. Though neither Natsu's appearance or behavior are of any special concern, the treatment she presents in her decorations appears to be worrying. Ever since she left on a journey west several months ago in order to confirm rumors about the appearence of Toki, who she was certain was dead, all contact with her has been lost.
What Taki wears includes a devil mask that makes it possible to breath among poisonous fumes, and a red ninja costume for warding off demons. It’s a very combat-oriented equipment, albeit her disciple Natsu doesn’t like it. Despite Taki having explained its utility several times, she doesn’t appear to understand it.

Night Terror "Cathastrophe" personified, existing in the Astral Chaos. It doesn't possess a consciousness nor mind, only flies about completely obliterating the soul of anyone who cross its path. Its power is inconmensurable, and even the Hero King Algol appears to avoid any involvement with it at the present time.
Spoiler: Yoshi vs Cervantes, More Kilik Stuff, Mistu vs Setsuka(click to see content)
Quote
nd what happened between Yoshimitsu and Cervantes, I've never heard that one before.
One year before the events of Soulcalibur V, Yoshimitsu heard rumors about Cervantes being back from the dead and traveled West to confront him, but he was getting old and was defeated and seriously wounded. He had to pass his name on so that his sword wouldn't spiral out of control, and a young Manji ninjutsu user (who apparently grew up in the Fûma village) became the new (second) Yoshimitsu by killing him (losing his right arm in the process).
and what does it say about Kilik going to Spain? Like, is it mentioned in reference to something he did there, or is it more just mentioned in passing that he was there?
Well, the description for the "Penitentiary of Destiny" stage says it's a cave in Spain where Xiba/Maxi/Natsu/Leixia find an itinerant priest, an astral gate, and the Kali-Yuga (tainted by the evil energy it absorbed from said gate).
Since Kilik is said to be wandering around and trying to close the astral gates with his Kali-Yuga, one would think that means he's been there (if he's not the itinerant priest, naturally). I would imagine that's more or less the idea, but Edge Master seems worried about him, so I don't really know how "alike" they are at this point...
By the way, Kilik's Soulcalibur V weapons used to belong to heroes who served under Algol back when he was human. The more you know!
So it doesn't actually explain why/how Kilik started to master a bunch of different styles, eh? And that's cool that he's using the weapons of Algol's soldiers. I wonder how he got his hands on them.
During all that time he spent trying to close the astral gates, Kilik touched the memories of the souls that wander the Astral Chaos and that allowed him to learn both their styles and that of those who defeated them. The weapons were apparently re-materialized with the help of the "power of chaos".
Oh, really? I guess I assumed Setsuka beat him and then chose to spare him, realizing revenge wasn't the answer. But I think it makes more sense that Mitsurugi would win as he's got far more hype than she does.
Basically, she managed to break his weapon, but he immediately fought back by punching her in the guts.
With this much left over they can make a SC6.

Revenant is the same guy from 3, if there's any doubt about that. + Ukon and Sakon are Yoshimitsu's men. + And just to include this, there's nothing about Zas' illusions (Frederick, Xianglian, Arcturus) or the Maxi Doppelganger. + Dampierre stole several national treasures from Wolfkrone during his escape 17 years ago (aka, his BD profile) + Dampierre is also the one who sold Pyrrha into slavery, after "smooth-talking" her (the bastard!) + Cervantes has a very healthy relationship with Dampierre too, selling him the stuff he gets from looting. + Hephaestus has given out new oracles and a new set of sacred warriors has been born. They have a secondary objective besides the destruction of Soul Edge, fight the "beast who devours people" (aka Aeon). + Ares is confirmed to be the one who bestowed Aeon with his new powers. Apparently, he and Hephaestus are now enemies (seems poor Aeon can't get any breaks, right?) + Ivy has received information about the alternate world (aka Astral Chaos) from a "mysterious supporter".
Pyrrha Note: "Cursed blood flowing through her body" The body of Pyrrha's mother, Sophitia, was once struck with fragments of the evil sword upon Soul Edge's destruction, but one fragment was impossible to remove and was left alone. That piece was buried close to her heart, and she could die from damage to the heart if attempted to remove.
That piece of the cursed sword continued to emit evil energy within Sophitia. 3 years later, Sophitia gave birth to her child Pyrrha. Having undertaken all the evil energy flowing in her mother's body, Pyrrha was born as a child with a powerful evil aura.
The fragment of the cursed sword increases in power by devouring the souls of opponents killed by Pyrrha. Forced by Tira, Pyrrha has already claimed the souls of others several times. Now Pyrrha's body, whenever a destructive emotion flares up, is corrupted by an overflowing of evil energy.
Natsu Note: Growing up with the stigma of being "possessed by an evil spirit" Since Taki had often to leave the village to carry out missions, Natsu was raised as the adopted child of Chie. The gentle Chie was always there to heal Natsu's heart, injured by discrimination. While as a child Natsu was a shy girl, she gradually grew up into a cheerful and lively girl after receiving Taki's teachings. Now that Natsu has met a "friend" for the first time, Leixia, how has she changed?
Natsu appears to pay attention to the appearance of a girl of her age. Despite being accostumed to the prejudice around her, she still seems to suffer from handling her unruly hair every morning.
The best ninja in the Fu-Ma clan and Natsu's teacher. Having throroughly studied both the forging techniques of the blacksmith group and the demon-sealing techniques of the sealing group, she's the sole member of the Fu-Ma clan to be a veteran in both areas. She supports her apprentice Natsu with her entire being, and has protected her from several crisis. While she carries the burden of being responsible for the misfortune that befell Natsu's life, she's still determined to do what must be done in the case Natsu turns into a demon. Though neither Natsu's appearance or behavior are of any special concern, the treatment she presents in her decorations appears to be worrying. Ever since she left on a journey west several months ago in order to confirm rumors about the appearence of Toki, who she was certain was dead, all contact with her has been lost.
What Taki wears includes a devil mask that makes it possible to breath among poisonous fumes, and a red ninja costume for warding off demons. It’s a very combat-oriented equipment, albeit her disciple Natsu doesn’t like it. Despite Taki having explained its utility several times, she doesn’t appear to understand it.

Spoiler: Yoshi vs Cervantes, More Kilik Stuff, Mistu vs Setsuka(click to see content)
Quote
nd what happened between Yoshimitsu and Cervantes, I've never heard that one before.
One year before the events of Soulcalibur V, Yoshimitsu heard rumors about Cervantes being back from the dead and traveled West to confront him, but he was getting old and was defeated and seriously wounded. He had to pass his name on so that his sword wouldn't spiral out of control, and a young Manji ninjutsu user (who apparently grew up in the Fûma village) became the new (second) Yoshimitsu by killing him (losing his right arm in the process).
and what does it say about Kilik going to Spain? Like, is it mentioned in reference to something he did there, or is it more just mentioned in passing that he was there?
Well, the description for the "Penitentiary of Destiny" stage says it's a cave in Spain where Xiba/Maxi/Natsu/Leixia find an itinerant priest, an astral gate, and the Kali-Yuga (tainted by the evil energy it absorbed from said gate).
Since Kilik is said to be wandering around and trying to close the astral gates with his Kali-Yuga, one would think that means he's been there (if he's not the itinerant priest, naturally). I would imagine that's more or less the idea, but Edge Master seems worried about him, so I don't really know how "alike" they are at this point...
By the way, Kilik's Soulcalibur V weapons used to belong to heroes who served under Algol back when he was human. The more you know!
So it doesn't actually explain why/how Kilik started to master a bunch of different styles, eh? And that's cool that he's using the weapons of Algol's soldiers. I wonder how he got his hands on them.
During all that time he spent trying to close the astral gates, Kilik touched the memories of the souls that wander the Astral Chaos and that allowed him to learn both their styles and that of those who defeated them. The weapons were apparently re-materialized with the help of the "power of chaos".
Oh, really? I guess I assumed Setsuka beat him and then chose to spare him, realizing revenge wasn't the answer. But I think it makes more sense that Mitsurugi would win as he's got far more hype than she does.
Basically, she managed to break his weapon, but he immediately fought back by punching her in the guts.
With this much left over they can make a SC6.
thanks.
kwsk is slang for "requesting more info", it's similar to source/sauce.

It's Soul Calibur. There is no hard & fast rule for how malfested are effected. It's just whatever the devs want/need it to be. It's not uncommon for media to change minor features like that back and forth in order to convey a sense of maturity.
Honestly, if Amy just squinted her eyes they'd have the exact same face imho.

I guess it's just wishful thinking on my side, to hope that Viola and Amy are two different people. Frankly, giving her the same VA just shows a bit more how rushed this game is. Viola is pretty cool as her own character. Revealing her as Amy all along would kill it, though now I feel that will happen most likely.

viola pretty much isn't a character on her own SCV did approximately dick to develop the new characters who aren't a Alexandra/Alexander
Fixed that for you.
Doesn't help when Tago says stuff like this or saying Viola was important to the story then appears for 3 lines and is never seen again.
Quote
"Raphael has a lot of fans," Tago said. "He was highly requested by all of the fans for SoulCalibur 5, so we put him on a new journey. "In SoulCalibur 4 he also died. So, how is he back? Why is he back? That will be a mystery for fans to think about."
This is exactly why people think Raphael's body is the new nightmare and he is just a ghost.

Post by: FeckFace on March 25, 2012, 04:29:27 am
How does that even make any sense? Are you really that delusional about Viola that you think that's a legitimate reason for the game to be rushed?
I said A BIT more. not A LOT. I wasn't trying to make it The biggest reason for Namco's half-assing here.
What I mean is, with a lot of other more evident reasons showing how the game is rushed, that LITTLE reason I mentioned could help show it too, albeit not as much.

Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Person Man on March 25, 2012, 04:35:52 am
I think the point he was trying to make is that there's no logical connection between Viola having the same voice actress as Amy and how rushed the game was. It's unmistakably obvious that Viola is supposed to be Amy, and was always intended to be Amy, so having the same voice actress is a natural extension of that. There isn't any possible way that that could have caused the game to be rushed.

Well, I never mentioned it as a cause, but just a little indicator among bigger ones. I guess I wasn't clear on that before. And even though I wanted Viola to be somebody else, I'm willing to take in the possibility of her being Amy.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Moon Girard on March 25, 2012, 04:49:59 am
How does having a VA return and do completely new lines for a character make it any more rushed? they didn't reuse Amy's lines for Viola it's not the first time a company has used an old voice actor for another characters voice Capcom did it with P.Wright's Japanese VA.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: FeckFace on March 25, 2012, 04:59:40 am
In that case, I've mistakenly labeled it as rushed, and actually wanted to argue this same-VA business as a small indicator of how half-assed the game could be in places.

Generally speaking, two characters having the same voice actor, even within the same series, is not a proof that they are the same character. That alone doesn't mean Viola is not Amy. And that alone doesn't mean Viola is Amy, either.

I think the worst part of the story mode was the part from when I selected 'New Game' until right around when the final cutscene finished.
I really do like this game, but the story mode was a load of garbage. There was seriously nothing to like about it whatsoever. The constant gaping plot holes, the perpetual deus ex machina bullshit to plow things forward, the way characters would randomly show up for no reason and then vanish just as pointlessly. It's just one gigantic hot mess, from start to finish.

Besides Angel Step, Patroklos was said to be 'inspired' by Sophitia's moves. I mean, yes, he is somewhat different, but he does have some moves from Sophitia or Cassandra, namely Sophitia's Impaling Strike (2A+B I think). So sure he's a new character, but not a 'true' new character like I said.

More Stuff from the artbook
Quote
Leixia's mother and member of the Chai family, known for its military background. Raised without a father, she was chosen from among the Emperor's bodyguards at a young age, and given the duty of searching for the "Sword of Heroes". In the middle of her journey she met Kilik, and together with Maxi they finally reached the "Sword of Heroes" Soul Edge. But this sword was nothing but a cursed blade that devoured souls. Joining forces with Kilik, Xianghua destroyed the cursed sword.
A few years later, she reunited and connected with Kilik, but he considered this the result of an unfortunate destiny, and eventually disappeared from Xianghua's side.
Returning to her homeland with a broken heart, she eventually came to the realization she was pregnant. However, her grandfather and patriarch of the Chai house was furious at this, as she was the second generation of women from such a distinguished family to bear the child of an unknown man. Xianghua was ordered to kill the child and marry into another family.
Knowing of her situation, Xianghua was rescued by the heir of the Yan family, Yan Wuxin. He discussed with Xianghua's grandfather and issued a condition for marrying Xianghua and not revealing the scandal, to allow the child to live.
Quote
+ Wuxin once served as an instructor to Xianghua. He has great expectatives for his son Leixin to take up politics. + Leixin is very smart, able to attend university at only 13, but he's no good fighter (gets always beaten by Leixia). + Salia was originally very tomboyish, but started acting more woman-like after Sieg's disappearence, having realized how much she cared for him. + Georg has a few lines about his time as king: he was well-liked, and modernized the Wolfkrone army from its outdated system. + All three of Dampierre's lackeys get a specific task within his group: Ludovigo deals with the killings, Alphard deals with extortion and contraband and Gisele takes care of stealing and information gathering. + Durer has once instructed Hilde in swordplay. + Most of the Lizardmen who were free of the cult had died. A new cultist is taking care of research now, and apparently despite there being less individuals, new varieties of Lizardmen are appearing. + Ashlotte was originally tasked with retrieving Astaroth, but since she didn't get to him in time before Maxi took care of him, she just settled for his core.

Spoiler: Sophitia info(click to see content)
Quote
Sophitia was fighting Cervantes but was about to lose until Taki showed up to help. And then she helped get the shards out of Soph's body but of course the power still remained in her blood/body. Sophitia managed to destroy the female half of Soul Edge during her fight with Cervantes, but was badly injured by the shards. That's when Taki showed up and ended the fight by killing Cervantes. Taki managed to extract most shards, but one remained near Sophitia's heart, so when she gave birth to Pyrrha and Patroklos, both kids were "tainted". Tira was interested in Sophitia's children for that reason (potential hosts for Soul Edge) and she managed to kidnap Pyrrha. In Soulcalibur IV, Sophitia tried to rescue Pyrrha, but was told that her daughter was now so tainted that she could no longer survive without Soul Edge. Sophitia ended up working with Nightmare and Tira to protect the sword. In the end, Siegfried managed to defeat Nightmare, and Sophitia had to sacrifice her life in order to save Pyrrha's, by transplanting her last Soul Edge shard in her daughter's body.

One year before the events of Soulcalibur V, Yoshimitsu heard rumors about Cervantes being back from the dead and traveled West to confront him, but he was getting old and was defeated and seriously wounded. He had to pass his name on so that his sword wouldn't spiral out of control, and a young Manji ninjutsu user (who apparently grew up in the Fûma village) became the new (second) Yoshimitsu by killing him (losing his right arm in the process).
And what does it say about Kilik going to Spain? Like, is it mentioned in reference to something he did there, or is it more just mentioned in passing that he was there?
Well, the description for the "Penitentiary of Destiny" stage says it's a cave in Spain where Xiba/Maxi/Natsu/Leixia find an itinerant priest, an astral gate, and the Kali-Yuga (tainted by the evil energy it absorbed from said gate). Since Kilik is said to be wandering around and trying to close the astral gates with his Kali-Yuga, one would think that means he's been there (if he's not the itinerant priest, naturally). I would imagine that's more or less the idea, but Edge Master seems worried about him, so I don't really know how "alike" they are at this point... By the way, Kilik's Soulcalibur V weapons used to belong to heroes who served under Algol back when he was human. The more you know! So it doesn't actually explain why/how Kilik started to master a bunch of different styles, eh? And that's cool that he's using the weapons of Algol's soldiers. I wonder how he got his hands on them.
During all that time he spent trying to close the astral gates, Kilik touched the memories of the souls that wander the Astral Chaos and that allowed him to learn both their styles and that of those who defeated them. The weapons were apparently re-materialized with the help of the "power of chaos".
:???: lol missed the Sophita stuff though thought it was just her story from 1-4.

Oh, really? I guess I assumed Setsuka beat him and then chose to spare him, realizing revenge wasn't the answer. But I think it makes more sense that Mitsurugi would win as he's got far more hype than she does.
Basically, she managed to break his weapon, but he immediately fought back by punching her in the guts.

Who the hell thought of the pricing for these Active Wear should be 80 MSP and i would Switch the price of the Maid outfits with the SCV equipment pack or just bring the Maid Pack down to 160 MSP like all the other DLC packs. Also what was the point of giving both of the Pyrrha's skirt when they are exactly the same just one is a different color atleast with Omega's shirt you get the nightmare arm.

New DLC is out and more Story stuff
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff261/kpoc758/IMG_0829.jpg) The Thing next to Taki.
Quote
It's a Fu-Ma ninja named Juju, who got possessed by Arahabaki during a mission to check the shrine where he was sealed off. Unable to either stop her or exorcise the demon, Taki shredded her apart which only really really pissed Arahabaki off. He escaped the battle and proceeded to obliterate a nearby village, after which he settled in baby Natsu. This is why Taki feels so guilty about Natsu's condition, as she was unable to control the situation which led to tragedy.
Also, 100% not Natsu's mother. Just in case.
Yoshimitsu + The first Yoshimitsu decided to do the succession because he felt his days were numbered, and his sword was starting to go out of control as a consecuence. + The new Yoshimitsu can't keep the sword under control, and worse yet his strong hatred of evildoers (specially Cervantes, who injured his beloved master/father) feeds the evil of the sword even more, making it very dangerous to him. + He uses the Fu-Ma Blade, which can repress evil, as a way to keep the evil sword in a stable but fragile balance. The sword, however, has a limit and Yoshi will eventually be forced to face his own personal darkness when it is reached. + Yoshimitsu is the one who led Leixia into the Fu-Ma village (explaining his special quotes and how the girl got into the secret village in the first place).
Z.W.E.I. + Almost nothing in relation to him, Z.W.E.I. is kept really mysteeeeerious! + He once fought alongside István Bocskai, real-life historical aristocrat from Transylvania. He was apalled at the tyrannical rule of Graf Dumas and led his army in rebellion, with Z.W.E.I. sharing his ideas and siding with him. Real-life story more-or-less goes its course, with Rudolf's brother Matthias setting up peace treaties with Bocskai only for him to be poisoned by his (now malfested) chancellor shortly afterwards. Since Dumas led the Imperial Army during this struggle, it's probably this is where they first met, and the reason why Dumas wants him dead so badly. + Not even him is aware of what E.I.N. is or how it came to be, it just appeared to help him when he was about to be killed. + Apparently, he and Rothion may have met during one of their journeys. Dunno what it means...
Viola + Also a mystery. She apparently woke up in some ruined/ravaged town deep within a forest, with the orb already at her side. She knows nothing about it or its power. + She believes the sphere is the clue to her memories. The text throws in the alternative the orb is actually stealing her memories away. + Nothing about the Amy connection. Amy is actually placed separately in the charts and listed as "Missing" (Cass is also listed as such), but is not linked to anyone save Raph. + As a funny note, she considers Patroklos a "dog", a feeling she shares with Nightmare apparently.
Raphael + Very little I can add about him. The charts have him only linked to Amy and a few real-life figures (he was a supporter of Henry IV, for example). + About Nightmare's host: Soul Edge controls the host by having imprinted his own memories into him. He has forged a new personality and past out of the selected memories of the sword, which appears to account for him using Nightmare/Siegfried's old style. Not sure if it means it was a blank state beforehand, but I tend to agree with that idea. + The text also implies that what Dumas really really desires is to devote his soul entirely to the sword regardless of his well-being, and mentions he overwhelms his body beyond its own limits while using the sword's power.
Hilde + In terms of her relationships, she and Siegfried (as well as Saria) are listed as "sworn friends" between each other, so they probably are like the new Kilik-Xianghua-Maxi power trio. + Hilde was forced to declare the dissolution of Wolfkrone due to the poisoned land. Its territory has been annexed into the Holy Roman Empire. What remains of her country admires her for what she's going through. Apparently some malicious rumors about the reason for this go around, claiming a plague spawned from the swamps as the cause. + Not even a hint about the father of her children, nothing at all. They are chillin' somewhere, under the protection of the remaining elite guard.

i also realized that if they allow it to be combined, the skeleton combined with the biker get-up (or the helmet at the very least) could make twisted metal 1/2 mr. grimm
and yeah for dlc hairstyles they're pretty damn lame. hooray i can make drake from dragoon might??? bleh

I'll never get the appeal of making characters from other games i can get making a few making Pikmin was a fun time but some people make all 50 slots characters from other games.
Also ha ha Donutman you need a tutorial to make characters :P i should have my xbox back this sunday so we can play again if not Sunday i'll defiantly have it back Tuesday.

Yes we get it you hate unlockables but i'm sure it would have more to do with DLC than unlockable items.

Whoever told you this has either A.not even touched online B.Has a very shitty connecion C.COCAINE IS ONE HELLUVA DRUG The online in this is one of the better online modes in a fighting game. Unless of course your connection is shit but isnt that case for other online games as well?
And yeah at this point i'm waiting mostly about the price just because of the DLC.
When I got this game at Gamestop 1 month ago, it was $40 pre-owned. The price most likely has went down.

Post by: MellyInChains on May 05, 2012, 07:58:11 pm
general opinion of the game so far: some of the new styles are definitely strange but i like that. i can now make my custom characters do crazy shit like have wolf stands come out and electric crystal balls and eyelasers and random select and shit. it's coo
not sure i really get the point of the 'supers' tbh (for some reason i can never remember the actual name of those things) but i guess they aren't too intrusive....at the same time, though, they just feel like they're...sorta just there. other than that, no real complaints regarding the system. it works i suppose.
online has been really good from what i gathered lounging around the new york grand lobby. and i think it's a given but goddamn the creation mode is worth getting the game for alone. i also made kaf ka, abel from battle arena toshinden, la fa, oniska from the killing blade, and the ideas keep on coming. totally rules
but yeah my psn name is melvanainchains obviously so if you wanna do weapon fightins hit me up some time so i can breathe fire onto you with billy two moons

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
(http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x149/jdplayer556/Soul%20Calibur%205%20Screenshots/SOULCALIBUR_5.png) I had made Faith as an opposite to Sin, but I really need improve with Patro's style.
(http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x149/jdplayer556/Soul%20Calibur%205%20Screenshots/SOULCALIBUR_6.png) This is Might Dragon. I was kinda going for a Sengoku Basara-ish character when making him.
(http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x149/jdplayer556/Soul%20Calibur%205%20Screenshots/SOULCALIBUR_7.png) ...OH COME ON, look at Dampierre's stance and tell me you wouldn't do this!
(http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x149/jdplayer556/Soul%20Calibur%205%20Screenshots/SOULCALIBUR_8.png) Aaaand I updated my avatar character. BTW, why don't custom characters use Dampeirre's P1 intro?

BTW, why don't custom characters use Dampeirre's P1 intro?[/spoiler]
Probably disabled by default. Created characters can't use certain victory poses, like when Pyrrha runs from her opponent. It's much like why created characters don't have close-ups on their poses.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Person Man on May 08, 2012, 03:36:13 am
Created characters are weird when it comes to the intro/victory animations. I know characters with Xiba's style end up getting a weird close-up on their feet during one winpose so you can't see them doing that "I'm hungry" animation.

also thoughts regarding that dlc: - fuck that i want shoulder puppy! - sweet i can make kabal - sweet i can make gajet (http://fenixware.net/fab/fab_charMain.asp?id=1154&order=0) - sweet i can make that one guy in illbleed that got sliced in half by the tree
lastly i'm too lazy to check (although i will if it's the answer), is there a basic parts DLC visual list floating around somewhere? i've got some unused funds in my psn wallet and i'm thinking of using them up for this game

Only applies to the like 3 other guys with a Xbox and this game.
I need to find a better hairstyle. I tried Short Rage, but I didn't quite like how it looked. :( Also, Raphael's Critical Edge = very, very appropriate.
Devil Jin 8WR animation is somehow more awkward looking than anything Dampierre does, IMO.

@aznperson The spy robe and a belt eh? Cool i'll do that. And i can use that to Make heihachi. Also i am aware of using spikes for the hair is possible as i have seen many clouds use that method. But i already have used all my 3 equip slots
@girard if you want a male link you can use mitsurugi style, one the swords can be used to make a legit master sword
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Moon Girard on May 11, 2012, 06:58:26 am
I think making Link using Mitsurugi is stupid(unless it's Fierce Deity Link)as he doesn't use the Master sword in every game but he does use a sword and shield in every game.
You can use Patroklo's style for a male Link. Most people that I've fought that use Links use Pyrrha Omega, so it's just personal preference. :blank:
I wanted to use Pyrrha cause Aeneas looked like a good knock off Master Sword and Hylian Shield but i decide to use Pat's Icicle to make a knock Magic Sword and Shield from SC2 i'll upload a higher quality picture tomrrow when i'm using the HDTV.

man i'd comment on all of these, but i can't even look at them without feeling really upset because my ps3 fucked up just days after i got the game. was having so much fucking fun with it too.
Yeah i think all the male Pikmin came out creppy due to the eyes though now that i look at the actual purple Pikmin i think mines eyes are to big.

Viola has trouble if you use long range characters, but that's probably about it. Fighting her is like trying to fight a Street Fighter character in Soul Calibur. Many Violas online are either god tier or good. Seriously.

That's sidestepped too easily, though.
People always expect the B part of AAB, so if you just use AA you can try guessing what the opponent will do (Jumping attack, sidestep, etc.).
If you knock em down, transition into either B+K or 6B+K so you can set up some guessing games. Unfornately those lows can be easily jumped over, but 6B+K's K move comes out really quickly.
I guess that's all I have. If you control the match with Sieg, then you've got it. If you're not, you're losing, so try to regain control of the match.
Title: Re: Soul Calibur 5
Post by: Darkflare on May 22, 2012, 08:57:55 am
Better.
Perhaps I should consider using AA more, I don't use it much myself. I usually try to go with B+K but I go with A follow up since way too many people block high and forget to block low.

Edit: Skeleton(can only be used on CAS) can wear clothes just not all if anyone wants to know if a certain item can be used let me know and i'll check
Perhaps I should consider using AA more, I don't use it much myself. I usually try to go with B+K but I go with A follow up since way too many people block high and forget to block low.
I use AA at max range. At mid range I use A into Side Hold, which gives you two options;
---> SSH AA, combos on counter hit, hits low, but is rather unsafe. Can transition into Reverse Side Hold if you hold A, but unless your opponent is focused on blocking, then you'll most likely get hit.
--> SSH BBB, which leaves you pretty safe, and most people forget about the 2nd and 3rd hit. A bit slow though.
Or you could use SSH K if you need a quick attack

also since i've done this since sc3, gonna attempt writing down character formulas and THEN deleting them rather than just deleting them and having the formula lost forever. might make some stupid subsection on my site dedicated to recipes for characters that nobody's going to play

yes, i am stupid enough to actually make a hidden cloned mitsurugi without a ponytail in sc5. and jinnai's pic convinces me there's something wrong with my tv's hue. eh...

1. Johan Durer: Already mentioned before: he's alive, serving in Dumas' private army. According to the charts, he also "sympathizes" with Tira (doesn't mention in what. Maybe not happy with Nightmare's new M.O. either?) 2. Salia: Already mentioned before: she's the second head of the Schwartzwind and helps out Siegfried with it. Also a sworm friend of Hilde. 3. Gel-o-Fury: Not really mentioned in the artbook. There are a few mentions about the time Toki absorbed evil spirits in the Underground Buddhist Sanctum, but he's not referred by name. 4. Gisele: She's in charge of stealing and gathering of information in Dampierre's merry gang, and has matured in her approach to gain his heart. 5. Li Long's son: His name is Riki. He's now part of the Fu-Ma's demon sealing team and a sort of brother figure to Natsu. 6. Necrid: No info thus far. According to the guy in Gamefaqs, there's a timeline stating he's mentioned in Northern Europe folklore as a man who may have fought Soul Edge. 7. Olcadan: He appears in the charts confirming he's still alive and (apparently) in the Mughal Empire. 8. Han-myeong: He appears in the chart, but nothing is said about him. He's still alive, tho. 9. Elysium: Nothing new. 10. Lucius Alexandra: Already mentioned before. He's a baker and has taught Patroklos the family work. He was also pretty angered at Rothion for what happened to Sophitia. 11. Hilde's father: aka Georg. He's mentioned as a beloved monarch who updated Wolkrone's military system before going nuts by the Evil Seed. He's currently M.I.A. (a status shared by Amy and Cassandra in the charts, btw) 12. Arcturus: Nothing new.
Arthur, Shura, Kamikirimusi, Scheherezade, Bangoo, Talim and Zasalamel are not mentioned whatsoever in the artbook, in any capacity I know of atleast. A pity.
Vercci + Not much really. Vercci being death since before the very first game hasn't helped him much. He still appears in the chart related to Voldo and a scant few others (he went against the House of Medici)
Quote
Algol + Always a man in search of a conquest, Algol now has placed his eyes on taking over the real world by corrupting it with the energy of the Astral Chaos. + In trying to do so, he's attempting to control the energies of the realm, which forms his ethereal body. + Edgemaster is the only one who notices this "corruption" going on, and has entered the Chaos to fight the Hero King. He's, however, not sure he can keep up with him even if going all-out!
Quote
Mitsurugi + During the years Mitsurugi's been retired, a crapload of cheap imitators have cropped up claiming to be him. Mitsurugi seems mildly annoyed at this. + Mitsurugi has heard of his "brother". His thoughts on the matter? "There are many strange people coming up these days". + A general of the Ryukyu Kingdom is trying to contact Mitsurugi to hire him, as he feels conflict with the Satsuma Domain is soon to break out (which it will do...if it follows real life history). He's trying to get in touch with his "brother" in order to get info on the man himself.
Quote
Astaroth and Voldo + The mass produced Astaroth have an incomplete version of the original's fighting style, so they have been send over the west in order to gain fighting experience. + As a result of the above, they are indiscriminately attacking and raiding the Ottoman Empire, Kingdom of Hungary and Duchy of Transylvania. + Kunpaetku's body is now half-golem (with him, Toki and Arahabaki we are gathering quite a gauntlet of boss-style monster types, it seems). He's also renovated the arc priests in order to restore all the cult's lost techniques and technology lost during Astaroth's rampage. + There's little info on Voldo, though. The reason why Voldo returned to Soul Edge is because, in his confused mind, the image of Vercci and the sword has become vague enough that he can't distinguish between them anymore. Basically, in his mind Vercci and Soul Edge are one and the same.

Alrightly then, sounds good to me and maybe it will bring a few more friends back into it to play here with. I was honestly afraid Team Soul would be put on the backburner due to SCV not selling that well. Good news all around though.

The next Soulcalibur game might just be on the horizon. Namco Bandai has trademarked the name Soulcalibur: Lost Swords in North America.
The latest Soulcalibur game, Soulcalibur V, launched for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in January last year. Prior to that, Soulcalibur IV debuted in July 2008.
Perhaps we’ll hear more about Lost Swords at this weekend’s Comic-Con in San Diego?
