THE SOUL STILL BURNS

Is the custom icon the "?" ?

No, it's the green and purple people in the same square. The ? icon is random select, which actually doesn't show up in the character customization screen.

... and they're both sandwiched between the people with gigantic penis extensions.

So am I the only one here playing this game online?   

I don't think some of you guys are even on the online rankings list. 

Countless battles have shown me that Taki is my character.  I like Seung Mina too, and now am looking to try out Maxi, Mitsurugi, and Cassandra.

i haven't tried online yet. right now i'm pulling my fucking hair out trying to ascend the tower. shit gets fucking ridiculous by level 18.

so far yoda's broken ass has been a great asset in this mode along with astaroth.

[ferrarimanf355]

Here's my created character. Sorry for the shitty pictures.



I'll have a post on my blog later explaining what my thought process was behind the character and why, amongst other things, I'm proud that she's wearing pants. 

[bork]

I have so many different Taki characters, male and female.  My current favorites are my Jamaican ninjas, "Irie Mon" and "Jam Ninjamon."

Found this funny, happened a few days ago in the PS3 version.  This was a ranked match against a Japanese player with a level 5 connection:



KICKMASTER

So what's the difference between the regular edition and the limited edition besides the extra $20?

Justin, it seems you clearly like 2D fighters far more than 3D fighters.  Me too!  But I enjoy Soul Calibur a whole bunch; my general problem with 3D fighters is the overall "stiffness" of everything.  It doesn't feel like you have complete control over everything the character does, or it's just way too unresponsive, unlike a sprite-based fighter.  But SC is one of the few fighters that has always felt very smooth to me.  

I seem to be having good luck against level 42 players on the PS3 version.  Here's another one, FALLEN VICTIM TO THE KICKMASTER!



It's like these guys cannot fathom "uh-buh?  Kick?  high, low, high?  CANNOT BLOCK ONLY HIGH CANNOT BLOCK ONLY HIGH GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER!"

I haven't seen a single finisher yet myself.  You have to break all of a character's armor off first, and in all the matches I've played that's never happened!

[JustinP]

just one piece of broken armor is needed

i did it in training mode.  i think it'll only effect turtles. 

[MyNameIsMethodis]

How do you perform it though? is it some weird combo like in MK?

you press all 4 (K+A+B+G) at the same time (or use the L1 macro)

really easy

[ferrarimanf355]

Really?

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Wow I just played someone online who had a Klans members custom character 


The good news though is that my Hulk Hogan is getting massive praise.

lyte edge and i just had some really silly games of super lag fighter turbo

Haha, I was just happy to actually be playing with someone on my friends list.  That was like the first time EVER.     I wanted you to go random though!

[originalz]

I bought the American version of the game.  In the manual, the back has a 1 dollar off coupon for Church's chicken.

What the hell is Church's chicken, I'm from NY and have never heard of it.  Perhaps the bigger question is why there is a coupon for goddamn food in a videogame instruction manual.

[bork]

They don't have Church's Chicken in NY State?

[ferrarimanf355]

Looks like there's going to be a Soulcalibur V soon...

Any of you with a good camera wanna make like $5 paypal? I need to get pics of my custom characters, but my camera sucks. I made a pretty decent Zorro so

[originalz]

Woah, 2 mil already?  Wasn't that Namco's year-long sales goal for this game?  Heh, I guess they must be happy.

[Vizzys]

rented this,  pretty awesome so far.

The character creation is much better then previous attempts, I made talim with green hair and I think amys outfit

also won a bunch of matches online, then got my ass kicked
pretty lag free, only one laggy match so far which is pretty impressive.

anyone with the ps3 version wish to challenge me, I accept in advance

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I stopped playing this like last week. Waste of $60

[UnoIllNino]

I'm Uno_Ill_Nino on PSN.  I like to think I'm a pretty good Kilik player, so bring your A-game, fools!

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Ya 360 version. Might sell it, dunno yet.

LOL LOL LOL LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I just beat the level 53 (I'm at 16) Soul Calibur 4 player twice in a row-- major beat down by me both times with Taki and Cassandra.  Dude was PISSED; I could tell even without a mic that he was getting desperate and failing miserably.  Japanese players typically don't do anything after a round when they win; this guy started wailing on me the one or two rounds he got a victory.  So I made sure to do cancel-taunts at the end of every round over and over again.   

I beat a level 81 player earlier today with a PERFECT in one round.  He won in the end but I couldn't stop laughing at how I did it, and this was over a perfect connection so it wasn't lag.  He had to have heard me on the mic.   

Anyone on the Bore still playing?  I am still only doing online matches; think I have almost all the customizable parts unlocked in the PS3 version.  Haven't touched the 360 version lately.

EDIT: Make that level 17.  I just beat another joker with a level that seems to be far too high for his playing ability.  He got me before.  Revenge is sweet.

[UnoIllNino]

I'm still playing.  I'm level 14 on PS3 with 75% win ratio.  I've been dedicating a lot of time to the Tower lately and have now completed it.  I'm more into descending the tower than playing online, but I will get on if friends want me to.

My PSN handle is Uno_Ill_Nino.  Anybody who wants another SC4 player on their list should add me.

[The Fake Shemp]

I love this game, but I can't beat the tower.  It's impossible!

[ferrarimanf355]

Me, neither.  :'(

This game is a fucking mess.

The trick is to outfit your character with the best armor and "powers".  My guy had a total mismatch of the ugliest shit possible, but he had a ton of HP and 3 of the best powers you could get.  HP Drain, Venom Fang A, and Start Dash B.  Plus I had backup characters that I'd occassionally put Shave Damage powers on.  Then just learn to be real good about tagging in and out your guys.  You recover HP when you're not fighting, so anytime you take damage, change guys. 

I also ended up making 2 of the same guy.  Same powers and all that.  Usually I wouldn't need my 3rd guy on the floors where they give you one, so I'd start with him and give him the crazy kind of powers I wouldn't normally try.

[bork]

You know, I think I prefer the PS3 version to the 360 version simply because there's no one using mics whenever I play it.

Hopped onto the 360 version after about a week (maybe more) of only playing the PS3 version.  The first match I had was against a guy with a shitacular connection.  I picked Taki and he was Maxi.  It didn't take much to beat him; just doing the tracking kicks stuff pretty much took him out.  But right off the bat I was greeted with chants of "taco U SUCK!!" and my favorite at the end, "you don't know how to play this game!  YOU SUCK!"  even though I am not yet level 20 and he was 40-something.  Then what made me crack up was his profile: "I make endgame bosses commit suicide.  Also you don't want to fight me on SC IV.  3973 kills to go."  El-oh-el.  Dude's name is "Matrim 611."  If you spot him, kick his ass with just kicks since he doesn't know what to do against them.
