Soul Calibur

I'm just wondering if we got any good SC players on here. I can't be the only one who plays this game.

I finally got this the other day. First time playing it I beat it in about 12-15 mins. Sheesh.

The game is about competition, not the stupid arcade mode, or story mode.

Of course those can be beat in a matter of minutes I beat a few fighting games in the store, lol. That doesn't mean you know what your doing does it?

These games are meant for competition. With fighting games they can't really be played online, and if you do don't take em serious. Lag is a bitch in these games and that split second there is lag your dead.

By nature fighting games suck online.

I played the demo and I'm just not impressed, I'm still waiting for that hope in the back of my head that one day fighting games will evolve from clunky button mashers we've had since the genre first exploded 15 years ago to smooth battle with real tactics and balanced moves. One day maybe, one day...

You played the demo?

Yeah you can buttom mash, but you won't win. It's that simple. It's not about combo's like in Killer Instinct. It takes skill to be good. I've played numerous people online who suck at this game cause they do button mash. So your simple analysis of this genre is wrong. Sure you can button mash and beat people that don't know what there doing, but play someone that doesn't button mash and your dead.

There is a lot of depth to some of these fighting games such as this and Virtua Fighter. VF is a technician's game.

I will take the most unfriendly buttom mashing game of all time which is Street Fighter. That game if you button mash you are going to lose, cause you won't be able to do a damn thing.

I remember downloading a FAQ when i was into Soul Blade for the playstation.
I tried to learn a few of the characters moves but I kind of stuck with Li Long.
I can see how people can think that there is nothing to these games but it really is a rewarding experience to learn them properly.

I also remember learning how to attack opponents in the air which was fun.You could knock someone up into the air and if you were close enough you could get a few more attacks in whilst they were falling to the ground.It was like juggling them in the air.Cool as fuck.

I played a bit of the follow ups but never had the time to get fully into them.Just didn't have the time.

I might invest in Soul Calibur IV though if the price comes down a bit.

Button bashers will always be defeated.
