Still the best 3D fighting game 20 years later
uh oh
How the fuck has no one come close to surpassing it
modern figthans are shit on purpose to give people the illusion that they'll be fixed on the next patch, and the next patch after that and so on
also the players are retarded and don't even know about soul calibur 2 because they only play whatever game was launched the most recently so expectancy of quality only goes back an entry or so
Oh bby
Am I nuts or was there a soul calibur with lloyd irving in it?
KO opponent
keep hitting them
Ring out opponent
run after them and also ring out
Which SC has the hottest Cassandra?
All of them
S: SC3 1P, SC2 3P (though that's mostly just Valkyrie so it's kinda cheating)
A: SC4 2P, SC3 2P, SC6 4P, Soul Edge concept design
B: SC2 1P, SC6 1P
C: SC6 2P, SC6 3P
D: SC4 1P, SC2 2P (I was never a fan of sukumizu with metal pauldrons)
That said: She still looks good even in her "worst" outfits.
I hate AI
I do the second one, but intentionally hitting your opponent after a KO is bad manners.
The character select theme is nice, but IMO Hellfire is the best song in this game as well as the best final boss theme in the series:

Here's some interesting trivia: the opening of Hellfire plays during Nightmare's Interlude in SC6 when Nightmare's portrait changes into Inferno: youtube.com

Nope.

Ehhh. Could be worse, but better than nothing.
Good, it brings me joy to make fightan tryhard ass-smells seethe with my faux pas.
SC2 kept it simple, in the best ways. In SCVI if i want to do any of Voldo's crazy Land fish stance shit, it's all locked behind an install which requires meter. Why the fuck would I do that though when supers are insantaneous and do way more damage than any of that shit? Also the the game doesn't have advancing or retreating guard for some reason? Just fuck my shit up. Also that rock-paper-scissors mechanic they added is stupid and pointless.
SC1 on Fightcade has rollback.
The ones who do that are usually the biggest tryhards, but ok.
Did you know? If you keep making them dance after death and then grab them right before the replay would start playing the game will keep you in battle for the entire duration of the throw. It will even fade out the K.O. text if the throw animation is long enough.
SC1-3 have perfectly working rps system with horizontals, verticals and fast kicks
for some reason put a tacked on rps mechanic ove rit in 6
I wish the series didn't go the direction of sc4. All the models still look the same as in that game too.
youtube.com
This is a good vid to watch on wtf is going on. TLDR if ur not interested: a lot of the people who made SC dont even remember what made it good because these games were infinite years ago.
SC3 littered with bugs
meanwhile SC2 has 2G after GI bug, some characters unable to throw a guarding Nightmare from neutral and
Heihachi carried, gamecube version is for fags
As overrated as Link is, I'd still rather have him than a character from Kekken.
Having played all versions, Link is easily the most fun of the three guest characters. Heihachi is boring, Spawn fucking sucks
You do realize Heihachi and Spawn were hastily only added when someone leaked that Link would be exclusive to the Gamecube and the other console manufacturers caught wind of it right?
meant for
not him and didn't know that, neat
Peak Cassandra: 2 and 6
High tier Cassandra: 3
That ain't my Cassandra tier: 4

Due to a glitch in Soulcalibur 6, roughly 30% of the time the game will take one less frame to process the input from the controllers. This happens on all platforms. When it happens is unpredictable, and it isn't known how the next frame of inputs are handled. Usually it dips for one frame, but sometimes it stays lowered for a few frames (and sometimes it will dip again in those frames, but it never seems to last on the second dip). This can be beneficial as it means your reactions are 1 frame faster 30% of the time, but it makes it impossible to be more than 70% consistent at any one frame timing window regardless of the player's consistency in their input timings
Really was the best one but it had a problem that it would always corrupt save on memory cards eventually
Popular guest character is the worst character in the game
No.
No Chronicles of the Sword mode, so it's actually the second best. Spawn was the best SC2 guest but people are not ready to admit this truth.
is it on fightcade yet?
How the fuck has no one come close to surpassing it
Because the FGC ruined fighting games forever, they used to be created for a more casual audience and focused on dropping CONTENT. There was lots of stuff to do even if you didn't care about competitive multiplayer
Proof? AFAIK the PS2 version was supposed to get Cloud but the deal fell through, which is why they used a character from another Namco IP to bypass licensing agreements.
Our God has confirmed that fighting games have stagnated

That's not Virtua Fighter 4 Evo.
SC1 is. SC2 will likely never be there, unless someone figures out how to integrate GameCube or PS2 emulation in the first place.
It was fast with no bullshit
pick characters, they shout
pick stage, sword clash sound
stage loads
"Fate demands a sacrifice, and the altar of battle is prepared"
Round 1, Fight
No rage arts/supers/overdrives or 10mimute combos, just quick and snappy right to the fun in a simple way anyone can comprehend
Compare that to tek 7 and 8, or sfv and 6, shits so fucking SLOW now I want to FIGHT
Tekken Tag 2 exists.
random creation on the slip map
Perfection
Because more recent fighting games gave up on having good single player content.
wtf rng time travel mechanic!?
Love both of these magnificent bastards. Fighting off people wielding weapons with nothing but their own strength.
t b h 1 frame of delay shouldn't affect how you win. Most of the time in fighting games, it's what you choose to do in certain situations that determines how you win a match. Being 1 frame late isn't going to be that significant of an advantage when it comes to punishing a -30 on block move.
fgs is just rps
It has Link on it and is the only one I played from the series so its the best
Tendies, Im so tired of them
it's also the best link from the best zelda game, also featuring his iconic VA from said game.
yep, OOT link is kino
It is going to be much more significant when punishing a move that's -16 on block and your fastest attack is i12. I'm not saying that it should effect the results too much, but some matches are decided by a single interaction.
It's gotta be confrontation

Soul Calibur has never been a game where that shit has ever really mattered, even in the games that feature Just Guard. fuck, Smash Bros. Ultimate has more sub-5 frame techniques in it that actually see use in competitive play, and most of them are literally just ledge catches against various characters' recoveries
can side-step his standing A
fucking awful character
Ultimate has more sub-5 frame techniques in it that actually see use in competitive play,
Idk, SC6 has a lot of "just frame" 4-frame windows in specific moves.
Everyone hit KO'ed opponents in SC2 because it was funny as fuck. SC2 was a party game.
Pick Raphael
spam BBB
Nah the graphics are dated and the Singleplayer is just filler.
3 was better.
3 suffers from the same thing as 2. You just google everything for filler Singleplayer and rest is dated graphics.
Nah the graphics are dated
Taki's tits still turn me on so no, you're wrong
Back when SC II was released I would sometimes say around my friend "Transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords " and he couldn't be helped but to finish the line miss my childhood.
IV had Vader and Yoda tho
pick Heihachi
always activate his rape laugh in the VS loading screen whenever my opponent is a female character
the graphics are dated
I dunno, I like the look of those classic games more than SC6. UE4 makes everything look like plastic toys.
This is more accurate
I honestly have no clue. This is the only fighting game I've played where it feels so fluid with the combined 3D that it feels like you're playing out a movie. Really fun shit and even shit tier copy paste characters like Necrid are fun to use. Tekken feels so stilted by comparison.
That might be for the fact that SC is more spammable than Tekken is. Like you can throw out random bullshit and it can be somewhat be effective.
People go on about Ivy's design while Taki's has visible nipples in just about every single one of her appearances, including SC2.
This guy fought Twisty Aoi in the city conqueror mode.
Was it just me or was Link broken in this game?
already voiced JP Siegfried/Nightmare and Yoshimitsu
they fucking add Link on top
SC2 must have been one hell of a paycheck for Nobuyuki Hiyama
Not really, he just has a throw that's really good for ringouts.
He was indeed broken guy had a throw that was a instant ring out depending where it was done let alone he had a lot of launch attacks, counters, range control and attacks that just pushed.
Used to love adventure mode. Reading the stories and the costumes and weapons having different affects was cool too.
Used to jerk off to the illustrations in the gallery and picking female characters and watching their hurt animations, screams and cries. My favorite was when theyd lose all their life and lie on the floor, then Id imagine what would happen to them after.
He deserved it. Still the best voice for Nightmare. I'm glad he also voices him again in SC6.
Only xbla port thobeit
That was SC1. Unless you mean SC2 HDO, which was a digital download title, not an XBLA port.
guard impacts your predictable spamming
Ez win
Remember when Soul Calibur had Yoda in it and horizontal attacks almost always went over his head?
The fuck were they thinking with that?
presses 2G for a split second
nothing personal, bro
I'm glad he also voices him again in SC6.
Why wouldn't he? 6's Nightmare is Sieg, they only changed the VA when they got separated in 3.
How can we add more SOUL?
t. Soul Calibur game dev
instant ring out depending where it was done
Reminds me of Hilde in 4.
I wish the series didn't go the direction of sc4. All the models still look the same as in that game too.
Gen 7 is when the soul got lost
Can't wait to play it on the switch 2. Hope the online will be somewhat stable.
I do agree that Soul Calibur is the most soulful of all fighting games. Pun not intended.
It was worse than that. He was completely immune to full versions of attack throws, even the ones that hit low. They jabbed him as if they connected at improper range even when he was really close. Mina's and Kilik's 1 A+B, Cervantes's 66B, etc. The worst offenders were Siegfried's Flapjack and Overtoss, they hit him and the hit stun animation plays but they do nothing to him. Yoda was a horrible idea, all things considered.
Link was considered really weak by competitive players and never won a tournament, though.
They honestly shoud have just added RotJ Luke if they wanted someone with a green lightsaber to match the Xbox colors
Playing Luke vs Vader would've been kino. Soul, even.
Used to jerk off to the illustrations in the gallery
Imagine being 10 and having access to THIS concept art. [Spoiler]and also having Action Replay
Tekken 7's laoding times were so abyssmal that I started to workout during them. 20 pushups and other basic trainings were always possible lmao.
Even the instant restart in a lobby required that loading for soem reason while in SC2 it's literally instant.
yoda is comically bad tho
Let's think about this logically:
Namco had serious competition from Sega leading into the new millennium. Tekken was made by one of the old Virtua Fighter guys, the System 246 arcade board was a direct response to NAOMI and you could argue Taiko as being their answer to the many different rhythm games available on the Dreamcast.
Soulcalibur 1 was made as a partnership with Sega but it was nowhere near fully realized. So the team already knew going into the sequel what exactly they needed to add.
You also have to factor in that the recession hit Namco hard, and it was a miracle they rebounded. So in a way, SC2 felt like their "phoenix rising from the ashes" moment.
Also in an interview around time of release, the producer remarked that arcades were in a transitional period, which was a correct prediction, just a bit early. So Namco chose to release the game first in arcades and adjust as necessary, but flipped this with SC3. After that you immediately have the Bandai merger and the rest is history.
Namco knew their time was limited so they made one final magnum opus before selling out.
I just hope they fix the pig faces in 7.
spoilering doesnt work if its a capital S
phone automatically capitalizes the S if its the first letter after a period
Guess its my fault for not getting out of bed and posting from my computer. I hate that about Anon Babble sometimes
Shit was so cash
Yup I remember thinking I am cheeky for picking Astaroth with all his grabs but nope not a single one worked against him. My friends just keps mashing, flying across the screen and his airgrab or low grab did nothing. Can't remember if his Hitgrab from 213A worked.
i only played this game because it has Link in it, and I only played as Link of course, no further motivation to play the rest of the series without him
Harada will never allow SC2 on any Nintendo system. Because that would be the 100% complete and perfect version and we can't have that with that dumbass snoygger manlet.
(Narrator voice) In a world of niggers, one retard pursues his destiny

i only played this game because it has Link in it, and I only played as Link of course
I asked for the game because it had link, but the local pizzeria's arcade my sister worked at had Soul Edge so I was familiar with and enjoyed what the franchise had to offer. I thought Nightmare's grotesque arm was the coolest thing in the world. His C2 was my main
Are you retarded? Its one of the switch 2 launch titles for their Gamecube virtual console. Nintendo has even released gameplay of it.
Soul Calibur is the only fighting game series that I actually enjoyed. Yoshimitsu was fun as fuck.
He probably refers to a proper port of the game with all the guest characters
paying extra to rent
no rollback
That's not an actual relase, dipshit.
Why even make a stupid gay video with actual milk in the bowl and mess up the room. For meme points?
Just how based was this game? They modeled panties for the girls wearing baggy shorts. THATS kino attention to detail
They didnt have to, but they did. God I miss 2002
For the lulz
6 was a good return to form for the most part, hopefully they can finally pull it off with 7.
They avoided paying for Mark Hamill's likeness by choosing Yoda.
Supposedly It was the chronicles of sword mode save that would corrupt if you had any other data files on the card. not only corrupt your save but in some cases corrupt the whole card
in SC2 it's literally instant.
Are you playing it from a disc on original hardware, though? Emulators cheat when it comes to loading speed, you know.
SC3 was the last SC game developed before the merger, though.
I think both Talim and Xianghua have alternative outfits where they wear skirts, so they had to be made for those anyway.
I played the PAL Platinum version, I completed that mode and I never had that happened to me.
Only xianghua had an alt dress, talim didnt
I remember getting this for GameCube as a kid and even on a brand new memory card I had everything unlocked somehow. Was bizarre.
You're right, but one of her alts has shorts with full-length cutouts on the side, so it could still be possible to see them that way.
The issue is if you had any prior saves, any modification or deletion of anything that existed on the card before you made the Chronicles save would make the Chronicles save corrupt. In theory getting a freshly formatted card and saving Chronicles to it first thing would make everything fine, but who would risk it?
so it could still be possible to see them that way.
no shit, and they are. capcom didnt HAVE to model space underneath her shorts but they did. most games that allow baggy shorts legs will close the gap at the groin to avoid pantyshots.
In theory getting a freshly formatted card and saving Chronicles to it first thing would make everything fine
It did. In fact, as long as you stayed in the Chronicles mode you could take the card with the corrupted save out, put another one, make a new save and it would work.
capcom
FATE PLACES HIS HANDS ON THE RIM OF THE BOWL AND RELEASES HIS BOWELS INTO THE TOILET OF TIME
Namco*
My bad
They knew exactly what they were doing here
Talim's the sexiest tummyslut.
cripples the tool kit of half the characters.
Some of those bonus characters were fun though.
That's fanart, btw. The fan artist replicated Kawano Takuji's style so well that it's hard to notice.
Reminder that due to shared canon character appearances the following fighting games are all in the same universe:
Tekken
Soul Calibur
Street Fighter
King of Fighters
None of that is canon except maybe Tekken and SoulCalibur.
and some of those characters are in Fortnite, as well as those characters being in the disaster that was Space Jam 2. it might as well all be in the same universe
Never realized it was drawn by Itou Yuuji of all people.
Just realized but I'm kinda surprised Samurai Shodown never did a crossover with Soul Calibur.
Akuma is literally in the story mode of Tekken 7
Samurai Shodown never did a crossover with Soul Calibur.
No your just saying stupid shit to try and discredit my post.
Tekken 7 has Akuma so there is your connection to Tekken and Street Fighter.
Soul Calibur has Yoshimitsu and Heihachi so theres your connection to Tekken
Tekken has that Goose Howard guy from King of Fighters so theres your connection between Tekken and King of Fighters.
Just goes to show how long it's been since I've actually touched SC6. Might as well boot it up again, nice.
Just because he's canon to Tekken's universe doesn't mean that any Tekken characters are canon to SF's universe.
The AI reads inputs too hard in SC3
Its a shame
What if Ivy and Sophitia's clothes could rip off during a match?
shit I saw a video on FJ where it had all those level intros but someone was really just spitballing random Dracula Flow ass lines in that announcer voice.
shit brother you are FAST
Still more fun to fight against than high-level AI in SC5 and SC6 because it doesn't combo me.
your just saying stupid shit
your stupid
If YOU'RE gonna call someone stupid be sure to use the right spelling of "you're", as in 'YOU ARE stupid'. Theres no excuse for not knowing the difference when they teach this shit in the 1st grade. I wasnt discrediting your post but now I am, you dipshit
Ivy in Soul Calibur 4 was the 1st thing I ever jerked off to in my life.
here's that complete version with john wick, link, spawn and heihachi all in one
github.com
I really liked Spawn.
baldurs gate and cyberpunk can have nudity but soul calibur cant
I wish the ps2 version had Cloud instead of Heihachi
That made him 100% broken against AI, and OP against humans.
chris go back to making bowlbo so we don't have to wait another 5 years
Say what you will, but SoulCalibur VI has the best guest character selection in the series. Geralt fits the theme of the setting and they found a good way to incorporate him into the canon story, 2B fulfils the needs of the coomer audience (who make up a sizeable portion of the SC fanbase as shown by this thread among others), and Haohmaru is just the cherry on top. Haohmaru ruined Mitsurugi for me when I realized how generic he is in comparison. Most importantly, all of those are video game characters (no, no one has read The Witcher books). Ezio in SC5 was good too, but that was just one guest character.
If there were any other way is the best rival theme of any fighting game
Holy fuck hahaha
AI is good for something I guess
I imagine Bamco wants to keep this series T-rated. Be thankful that they do everything they can get away with within that rating.
what ? ai in Soul calibur has never been hard, there has always been many forms of attack strings they just Dont ever comprehend
