SOUL CALIBUR

oh god you just reminded me of that voldo dance

hahahaha

THE SOUL STILL BURNS!!!!!!

Voldo reigns supreme

if no voldo landslide I quit ILG

(emptiest threat ever, where the fuck is everybody?)

sorry, soul calibur reminds me too much of the hentai doujinshi spawned by it

your own fault there innit

(I know this is going to be a Voldo landslide but there was a good period of time there where I could pwn 90% of the people I encountered with either Kilik or Taki.)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I haven't voted for Voldo.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

voldo not winning is bullshit!

i hated yoshimitsu.

the only soul calibur I ever played was the one where you could be Link.

I should have included Spawn and Link.

Yup.

I voted with my "snake sword." Soary guize. :((((

wtf only one Sophitia vote.

soul calibur 2 is a wonderful thing except that nightmare is broken as fuck.

soul calibur 2 was good but left me kinda cold for some reason. SC3's environments, graphics, single-player, etc. work better for me.

Dreamcast SC = the best one.

Kilik. Why does Voldo get so much love? He's pretty easy to win with, because he's both fast and big...but he's not a real challenge: just mashing buttons on Voldo gets you pretty far. That's not to say that the opposite, a hard player to be successful with, is better: because Seung Mina wasn't very fun either. Kilik splits the difference.

I'm surprised to see no love for Mitsurugi, but low participation dictates that. FWIW it's my first time checking out this part of ILX.

I've got a friend who's really good with Mitsurugi. Must take patience.

I'd have voted Taki, for easy jump-over-your-head getouts, but I guess I forgot to :(

I need to get this

YES YOU DO

ivy?...wtf?

I voted for Ivy. That sword-cum-whip jobby was really fun!

Yoda in 360 version, Darth Vader in ps3 version? Can I have the version witout the Star Wars characters please?

I don't know why this is turning me off exactly, but it is...

"IT WAS A TIME OF LEGENDS"

Seriously? Ugh that sound awful. Well I guess I just won't use those dudes.

I bet it'll be amusing. Link was pretty fun to use in the GC version of SC II. Admit it, you wanna try hyperflipping Yoda.

yeah, lighten up dudes

i enjoy that a game that has a generically intense and dull storyline also contains ridiculous characters to screw around with if you feel the urge

i think every single soul calibur character is more interesting than every single star wars character and that's saying something

July 29th is apparently the official date for IV

CAN
NOT
WAIT

Ivy and Voldo OTM. Ivy has the power, Voldo has the WTFness.

Taki and Xianghua are my best characters, although Voldo (and moreso female Voldo, whatever her name is) are really fun.

Dreamcast is the awesomest but they're all great really, pretty much the only reflex-y title I care about?

I am good with Talim in the more recent one, I used to play Xianghua a lot in the first one but she's kinda useless now. I hate Raphael so much. WE MUST PLAY THIS ONLINE GUYS.

Dreamcast version of the original Soul Calibur will be released on XBOX Live in a few months.

Voldo's my personal lord and savior

i like raphael in 2 because i like rapers

yay gubke! no online multiplayer though :(

THIS SOUNDS BAD...

1UP: How will you acquire these special weapons? Will you unlock them in the game or will you have to purchase them as downloadable content?

KS: We have several different methods for acquiring these weapons and armor: Some will be unlocked by playing through the game, while others will only be available as downloads.

THIS SOUNDS GOOD!!!

1UP: Your team definitely appears to be having fun with these Critical Finish moves...we saw Cassandra's and it involves her planting her butt on your face amid an explosion of giant pink hearts.

OKAY WHO ELSE IN THIS BITCH HAS THIS AWESOME AWESOME GAME

i do!

i think i have like 3 versions of it. Is it coming out on ps3 ever?

Oh, haha at me.

i have the 360 version. yodsa kind of sucks. but that's to be expected for a gimmick character.

yoda

so how badass is this, because the reviews have been like 9/10 but it's nothing new over sc2 except killer gfx

The create-yr-own-character mode is awesome because it gives me the ability to play a Talim-style character without having to actually play as a 10-year-old girl. Also the story mode is great, largely because I had huge chunks of the mythology totally wrong (for example, I though Ivy was evil...?) and also because of the awesome Siegfried/Nightmare endings. The new characters are kind of bizarre but cool (although too many are yelpy) and Darth Vader actually plays pretty well all things considered.

Thanks! That sounds really good. How is the tower of power thing? the reviews make it sound interesting.

I was thinking of getting this but tbh i realise i'm not a huge fight fan, and i rarely played the prev versions.

i can imagine the online play would be a visual fest of my arse getting kicked forever.

just got this!

I just started ascending the tower; it's very reminiscent of the awesome quest mode in SCII, which means I like it a lot. It's a tiny bit aggravating that you have no idea what conditions will unlock the unlockables until you've met them, though.

ok cool. I only played through the quest mode in SC2 earlier this year, but it was totally fun.

wat up hi dere i've been playing this crazy lots lately do u have the dlc or what? is it worth it?

i have sc4, i don't know why i bought it, and i am not very good at it...

http://darkdiamond.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/soul-calibur-ivs-new-ladies-dd.jpg

future ILG poll, probably

ok I am still Wii-only, what system is this shit on because this is probably going to be the one that drives me over the edge

you guys all underestimate Siegfried btw

^^^ doing the tower of lost souls right now and sieg is #1 A+++ character for all time dude's ring outs are the key to a bunch of the challenges

Man, SC IV really came and went didn't it? I remember when SC II's release was such a big deal - the last two seem to have really fallen out of the spotlight.

It's on both X-Box and PS3 and each has their own extra Star Wars character added (X-Box has Yoda, PS3 has Darth Vader). I don't know about X-Box but I know you can buy and download Yoda for PS3 because that's what I did ^_^

Taki/Kilik/Siegfried are like my all-time yoga-flame triumverate.

it came out while everyone i no was still fuckin with GTA's crimes and prostitutes i only really started playing it much like a month ago. which is to bad - i'm only a third done but its waaay hotter than its been given credit for

john i have it on the xbox but its on PS3 as well

how i miss the days having the gang around playing this, and calling Siegfried 'Seinfeld' all the time. oh the laffs.

God damn it, before this thread woke up I was completely over the "I have got to break down and get either a PS3 or an X-box" fever that afflicted me through most of autumn

can someone please get a picure of yoshimitsu standing beside ivy and caption it "so not gonna happen"

the star wars stuff in this game is what ruined it for me

just ignore that part of it the rest of the game is totally rad Scheherazade's story alone justifies the game

Played a little IV tonight - it really is an amazing looking game. I wish it had a tutorial mode :(

People seem to still be playing it! I tried the online mode (ps3) and got a surprisingly lag free game in about a second.

Any good guides online? I might try to put some time into finally learning a bit (at least until BlazBlue and KoF 12 come out).

It seems like trying to block in this game only gets you into trouble?

damn this game looks sick

https://www.gameinformer.com/2018/10/20/here-are-the-best-and-weirdest-user-created-soulcalibur-vi-fighters-so-far

yeah the new one looks fun but somewhere along the way since the last one i played (2 or 3?) it's also reached dead or alive levels of fanservice which idk how i feel about that

Geralt and 2B much more apt guest characters than the darth vader bullshit the older ones had

I bought this last week. The fighting is a lot of fun, but the lack of variety in the stages is seriously disappointing. The epic backdrops were always a huge part of the fun of these games for me. The eleven here are nicely rendered but fairly generic. With the Libra of Souls mode you really get tired of seeing the same forest backdrop over and over. >:(

It is good to see my boy Voldo again tho
