  • These guys have no clue that the soul of Devil Jin is unlockable in SCV .. SMH..

  • how can you completely forget about soulblade.. mostly every character has come from that game and also critical edges were debuted in that game... but no one wants to give credit were credit is due. that is why these past soul calibur games has sucked monkey nuts in my opinion!

  • That was painful to watch. These guys have no business being professional gamers -_-

  • Patroklos+Critical Edge=SHORYUKEN!

  • Soul Calibur V: The best SC so far!

  • NECRID

    

  • soul caliber all the way

  • Thumbs up if you want ROCK back.

  • i know im gonna be spammed but, i need to get famous, watch my videos, thanks you.

  • matches are too short i wish every fighting game was like DBZ series games with their own characters

  • 48 seconds until SF is mentioned

  • Who is the special character in this game? I know part 2 had Link, Spawn, & that old guy from Tekken.

  • @Link3200 Ezio

  • @MrNinjaMastr Whos tha? From what game?

  • 3:58 Hwoarang kick

  • Ezio really fits in nicely though and is a great character for SC (I agree with the guys, Heihachi was a lot of fun). But I'm curious how Ezio would fit in, what the story behind that is, but there's no story told, for anybody, except Pat and Py. I like how they added Devil Jin's style, that's a nice touch and thankfully they got rid of the effects clothing and weapons had in SC4, which was really crap imo. Still, there's no (fightstyle of) Talim, Zasalamel, etc. It just feels reduced overall =(

  • Been playing this for 2 weeks now and I have mixed feelings about it. Yesterday I played SC4 at my sister's house and it kinda felt superior to 5. I forgot how awesome Taki looks in 4. They got rid of some iconic Soul Calibur characters and either replaced them with lesser clones or new styles that aren't that great. Creation improved a bit but story modes for all the characters are missing and the extra characters and special modes are gone. It's still fun, but in many ways SC5 is disappointing

  • Lol, he thinks Bridget is a girl in Guilty Gear. Trap successful.

  • Soul Calibur 4 is sucks SC5 is better than SC4 but SC3 is the best one because SC3 is got the best story and arcade mode

  • bought this game lovvvvvvvve it

  • >bridget

    >she

  • This in no way beats Mortal Kombat

  • nerds

  • @chillyhead1234 im pretty sure your username is a big enough insult so i wont bother

  • holy crap Siegtried so OP

  • @DarkAngel2796 ^Siegfired

  • Why and how is everyone forgetting Soul Blade ?!??! >=/

  • marvel vs capcom > soul calibur..... this game is shit

  • If you're going to scrutinize it, don't support your reasoning with nostalgia driven critiques. You're purely reminding yourself of what it USED to be because that's when it was a fresh game to you. Anything being improved, or changed for that matter, doesn't sit well with you? Then play the old ones. This applies to all you original Soul Calibur fan boys in capable of a non-biased observation

  • I can't get into this new Soul Calibur. I loved Soul Edge and Soul Calibur 1-4. Its like they took what made Soul Calibur unique and nuderd it. Then they went and ripped off game mechanics from other games and incorporated them into it self. (Streetfighter, Mortal Kombat, ect.....)

  • Comment removed

  • been playing this a few days. i can own other games such as blaze blue, tekken, marvel vs. capcom etc. but i just cant get the feel down for this. not to mention since im new, i noticed there are alot of moves not listed which sucks cause new players have no clue how to do half this crap the cpu does. any any tips would help. im trying to get the mechanics down, but having a hell of a time.

  • u fucking idiots link was in 3 not 2

  • @HairHonOxXx he was in 2 u dipshit

  • they also dont mention that playing the cpu in soul calibur is better than any other fighting game because you can customise the hell out of your guy.

    these guys seriously havent played soul calibur except against each other. fools.

  • From what I know, Soul Edge/Blade had critical edge moves.

  • THESE GUYS OBVIOUSLY HAVENT OWNED SOUL CALIBUR ITS DEFINATELY TECHNICAL. The way they explain CRITICAL FINISHES (which they couldnt remember the name of) they are wrong about how and when you can preform them. you do blue electricity moves, or wear them down and break through their guard, then do it. they keep saying the game isnt technical... but then they complain about complexity with counters, meters, and super moves.

    THESE GUYS MAKE NO SENSE

  • @TheTorturekilla Yeah you're right I have no complaints about the new criticals. In SC4 they where useless, but now they add a nice touch. You can link them after combo's and add to the technical side

  • i miss soul blade

  • Siegfried looks gay as fuck on this!! He was cooler in Soul Calibur 3

  • @ToTheEnd01 No, Sigreied always looked gay. shutup and suck a dick.

  • I'm a huge SC fan, however I'm extremely disappointed in this one.

    The story was FINALLY descent and that was just about the only positive thing going for the game. I'm disappointed because i was hoping the game would be expanded.

    Tons more clothing, tons more new (not mirror) characters.

    In my opinion, this was a fail on Namco's part.

    Story mode or something that could better involve your characters.

    I did like it, however The game itself (especially game modes) is bland and its pretty downsize

  • Tekken > Soul Caliber

  • @Harriyama Nice try, but lolno.

    IMO Dead Or Alive beats both though. =P

  • The dude with the hair talks a lot for a man who knows nothing about the subject at hand.

  • @GhengisJohn Referring to me?

  • SCV really isn't that bad, I just don't understand why the developers decided to do away with the parry and subject impacts to a meter. No meter...no nothing really. Not to mention no more Critical Finishes. All in all it is still a great fighting game superior to most others, I just feel as if a lot of things that defined this game were stripped away to make way for things that are in my opinion less important and so much more generic.

  • @tRuLyGiFtEd89

    A lot of people complained forever that the series never changed. Give them change and they complain that it should never have changed. Tough scenario for the devs. Just can't please some people. For what it's worth how about that netcode huh?

  • @GhengisJohn What is netcode?

  • @GhengisJohn Man change doesn't mean copy other fighter games.. The changes in SoulCalibur5 are quite frustrating especially the defense mechanisms. The whole game has been stripped and simplified. The netcode is pretty good though and it's still a good fighter game.

  • @tRuLyGiFtEd89 That's how i feel. I mean those mechanics were unique and perfect. And the critical finishes added extra heat to the gameplay. Dont understand why they had to do the same as Streetfighter 4 and add special cinematic moves either. All they had to do is take SC4 improve the online play and add characters and levels.. Not take characters away!!! Anyway, still SC5 is a good game but i prefer SC4 personnally.

  • The game look super boring..and a bar for parrys? im sticking to Tekken.

  • Cervantes ate an orange and it was k

  • @ArcanicEight888 Lol, critplank :P

  • @ArcanicEight888 Omg, why do I understand you!! D:

    

  • I love how people bash this game without even caring of the risk that Namco made by putting some new faces. And you still play games that have the same fucking faces all over again, keep talking trash and waste your money on crapcom and their bad games

  • The Critical Edge moves suck, it was better without them, bring back propper parrys instead.

    Also, no Seung Mina, no Rock and no Talim? 3 mimics and a random character panel?

    Needs more characters.

    Hate to say it but SC4 was better.

  • This game is ok but not as great as it could of been, there's a few things I'm disappointed about. 1 they've removed a few people's moves which were pretty good moves too like Cervantes and Mitsurugi moves, why? I don't know!! wtf!

    Then the hidden characters, we have Not 1 not 2 but 3 edge masters! Edge master himself, Kilik and Elysium, why??! one's enough why have 3 of them that can do everyone's moves!?

    Namco have gone lazy now, they've lost the will to create I think they're too rich lol.

  • this guy sucks!

  • This is how you play Natsu!! /watch?v=P8cPv4KIAeY

  • ok first guard impact should be as it was before so it can be fluent an in charaters i wish they instead of crating inovations and wierd batle styles they keep some of the guest characters styles but with a new character for the series i mean the aprentice with just a few good low atacks and less force moves would be awsome and so on also the moves are not so friendly and some of the good moves of charater have been changed or erased for the worst

  • Viola = Litchi (Blazblue) = Bridget (Guilty Gear)

  • Soul Calibur > Tekken

  • One question, is this game like the number 4 where you can play a mini storyline with every player? please tell me how if you can.

  • @NTMD5 no

  • I think this games awesome.

  • Super moves should just blend in the rest of the game imo. Cutscenes like SF is really off to me.

  • Soul calibur 4 was great. this one is not bad but many things need to be changed :/

  • They just keep making the same thing over and over. They don't make these games like they used to. They get more boring with each new release and it's all the same thing...

  • Are you able to create your own character still?

  • @IAvinI Oh yeah, and it is even better than ever by MILES!

  • @ConyoDoom Ugh, I can't wait to pick this game up!!

  • Comment removed

  • Does anyone know how to do Ivy's counter move when she throws her sword and grabs an opponent by the neck and pulls them face down? i want to be able to use this since soul calibur 2 when i saw my little brother do it even thought he's just a button masher.

  • weak

  • So Yoshimitsu isn't in this game? That's unfortunate.

  • @ElMightyMasturbator he is, it's just a new Yoshimitsu

  • looks crap.

  • @mwestlake533 it's had mixed reviews, varying from about 6/10 to 9/10, so not great but not too bad

  • Sincerely.....Soul Calibur 3 was the best game of all time....

  • @Edwin664 NOOOOOOOOOO Tekken 3 is considered among the best fighting games of the 90's for Plystation One and Arcade Machines.A lot of people say Tekken 3 is like an expensive red wine bottle.The older it becomes the more richer it tastes.I hope Tekken 7 would the ultra-expensive white wine bottle that never ages or gets old and sick!

  • Normally I'd run out and buy games like this BUT I have an enormous pain in the hole with fighting games these days as I know that in a couple of months there will be a better version. I'm sick of paying top dollar for the latest and greatest, then going into a shop weeks on to see a version with way more characters n stuff for half the price. SC5, I'll see you mid spring.

  • super duper super moves

  • why is every one saying soul calibur is now shit i accually find even though it has had a fudge ton of new things added you can still do what every one bought this game for .... fighting thats why you bought this game to fight i know that it delved into tekken abit but you can still fight if your saying its shit go back to C.O.D you tools

  • @Henrydaman02 because this fucking game basically didnt add nothing since soulcalibur 3. and its EXACTLY the same game as soulcalibur 4, the only difference is the guest characters.

  • @Henrydaman02 The reason why its shit is bc the game mechanics are so slow and frustrating atleast in tekken u can do combos unlike in this game where eveything is so complicated

  • R.I.P Soul calibur, was once one of the great games, now just a pile of shit

  • Why does everyone say Heihachi didn't have a weapon he did, he used gauntlets!

  • These guys are scrubs! Just guard just needs to be mastered. They complain about their own lack of skill. The best players will learn and use the best tactics to win. Just guarding is one of those essential tactics. Bunch of loser scrubs these gamespot fools.

  • i completly loved the sc series just finnished this on arcade and im not going to lie this game is WANK.i hate it most becuse nightmare at the end is the boss no inferno or watever just straight nightmare and he is also impsossible to kill i had to do the same grab move with some kilik look alike and im shure not 100% but i think they have changed the caricters name and to think i was buzzing for this game total let down!!

  • Game is a bunch of anal sewage.

  • 3:11

    

  • What's the deal with geeky Americans speaking with such a whiny tone? I tuurrtttlllllee alott moorrrrrrreeeee nowwwwww..." It's annoying!

  • I don't know whether to get this game or not. It is good?

  • @NottinghamForest22 this is almost the same as mortal kombat but mortal kombat has in my opninion better graphics, better finishing moves, and now soul calibur added super moves has mortal kombat better super moves to..

    so i should recommend mortal kombat..

  • I'm trying to watch a video for Soul Calibur 5 and I get an ad for the very same game im trying to view o0

  • This game sucks.

    Every SC after 2 sucks.

    What the fuck are super combos doin in Soul Calibur anyway:/

    This was one of the greatest franchise in fighting history heartbreaking to see where its gone the past 6 years.

  • @Jamesdaniel2053 The same for Tekken franchise.I hope Tekken 7 would be awsome.

  • is there chronicles of the swords

  • violas rage isthe ball! utilize it, u'll raid evry1 :O

  • fucking adverts

  • Soul Calibur 5 is complete shit. The death of the best fighting series. They killed guard impact, made side stepping and blocking slow as hell, added super moves and meter bar WTF!! They tried to make it Marvel vs Capcom, it shouldnt even be a 3d fighter now. A really really bad story, if you can even call it that, and no reason to play arcade mode with any characters, because HAY, no endings for any of them or story!!! So long Soul Calibur, you were so good, so very good until this shit.

  • @MrSquirmyne indeed

  • @MrSquirmyne WOW!!

  • @MrSquirmyne i was like that when i 1st got it too keep playing you will change your mind

    sr3 is complete shit

  • @MrSquirmyne Man up and learn to play the game.

  • @UpFunkDNB THANK YOU!

  • @MrSquirmyne no guard impact? fuck this shit.

  • @cuilo there is guard impact AND just guard, it's just guard impact is harder to do now

  • @MrSquirmyne I will probably buy this game.I hope Soul Calibur 5 is more better then Tekken 6,because a lot of people hated Tekken 6.I will wait for Tekken 7 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

  • @GoodAlwaysDieYoung ? Tekken 6 is alot better than this. Its alot more technical and realistic fighting game. This has tons of weird moves, guns, magic shooting balls and what not.

  • @Avean lol. what are you basing the term "realistic" on, really?

  • @skwerleyz Just in terms of fighting. I am a practicioner of both kung-fu and taekwon do for many years. Tekken although it has its silly sides, has very realistic animations and martial arts moves.

  • @Avean Its a game. It doesnt matter if its 100% realistic, it has to be fun. and i also love fighting arts :), I do Tae Kwon Do, Boxing, MMA, karate. There all awesome.

  • @Avean Lol. Ok guy. I've practiced martial arts too. watch those slow motion replays, and tell me you can shift your angular momentum in the air while twisting your body like that. No, unless you can PROVE it, I don't want to hear it. There is nothing realistic about punching someone so hard that they fly 5 feet in the air. 

  • @skwerleyz Dude you are missing the point. Im not saying Tekken is 100% realistic but its more realistic than Soul Calibur V and many other fighting games. It has tons of proper fighting animations from Aikidio, Kung-Fu, Taekwon Do, Karate and even Ju-Jitsu. SC5 has ridiculous moves with weapons mixed in it. Its nowhere near anything martial arts. Its just a crazy fantasy fighting game. Tekken is alot more "real".

  • @skwerleyz Dude its a fucking game neither soul calibur or tekken are realistic, but tekken does have better combat animations

  • @vincentblast29 Yes. Its Ezio Auditore. They put him in the game because everyone loves him. I think thats why anyway.

  • 9:16 is that guy off of assassin creed???

  • Please check out our channel

  • The greatest aspect of Soul calibur, is how you get that feeling like the characters are progressing with every game released. thanks to new armor, weapons, combos, and now super specials

  • lol Bridget is like that Nun from Guilty Gear. but that aside Super specials are a pretty badass adition to the game. as long as their blockable i dont see any issue with them. a little scared that heavy characters might have Poise...F***

  • ... U guys know nothing about soul cal ..."not a technical game" sigh

  • @Samsukkaa

    It's not. You can button bash your way to victory. You can memorize a bunch of fancy moves if you wish, but it's unnecessary.

  • @kramnodd9 Maybe its not as technical as Street Fighter, but you cant really mash your way to victory in a proper player or ranked match. There are so many ways to punish mashers.

  • Ah.I prefer Virtua fighter 1 over this crap! Controls are a lot better. ;P

  • incorrect noob tower of lost souls stupid algol only guarded soul crushed that mofo

  • I bet Ezio is going to be whored online, and wait cassandra sophitia and taki are not in this anymore and they are getting replaced by stupid new people, and where the hell IS AMY!?

  • natsu Q_Q

  • Why is this rated so low? They brought up a lot of good points. I like this game, but I think SC4 was a bit better. It wasn't trying to be like all these other fucking games now days. Everyone has the right to their own opinion I suppose, but wash the sand out of your vagina.

  • They talk about how they hate the guard impact, but they never actually USE it. How do they know it's a bad thing if they don't even implement it?

  • Its a good game, i think you will just nee practice to get better *

  • The commentators really like to end sentances with upward inflections... don't know if its an accent thing but now im thinking with an upward inflection..its driving me crazy.

  • besides Soul Calibur 5 still was a varey good Fighter:)

  • hay now street fighters is bad ass fighter all together.

  • wow i just saw the fight with ezio and mitsurugi and im pretty sure that ezio would destroy him. to the guy that was playing as him, u suck

  • Go away you stupid ad, no I don't care about 5 hour energy LEAVE ME ALONE.

  • Parries dont cost meter, guard impact does. A just guard is a parry and that doesnt cost meter it gains meter, use that instead.

  • Ah soul caliber 2 with link was great

  • soul cal had critical strike in soul cal 4 dumb shit

  • Soul Calibur is like an advertisement of games through characters...

  • do i use dpad or analog

  • A soul calibur advertisement on a soul calibur video?

  • Street fighter is such a piece of shit mk is the best and soul caliber isn't that bad better that faggy street fighter

  • @The420dillon MK is for the dummies... tekken and street fighter games are better, but if you cant play them it doesnt mean its shit...

  • @DarkPhoenix108 I play them both and think mk is better

  • How Gamespot plays Soulcalibur: 1. Mash Buttons 2. Grapple 3. Repeat

  • should i get this game? i havent played any previous soul caliburs

  • @cynexist You should,if you are a fan of Tekken or Street Fighter.

  • soul blade had the super move as most of us have forgot lol

  • wow, these guys talk a lot of garbage, its like they have no clue what they are talking about. anyways this game (V) and the 1 b4 (IV) are not as good as the others but its still a good play.

  • I don't see what's everybody's problem . I fucking love this game!

  • Just buy mortal kombat, you can probably pick it up for about $30 or less by now, it's a really great beat-em up, and my favorite of the year - There was tons of hype surrounding other fighting games last year but MK turned out to be the best, cause it actually did what it promised, viewers of screwattack/game trailers voted it the 5th best game of last year, and deservedly so.

  • Self admitted terrible players at the game putting down the technical aspects of it. I'm outta here.

  • I'll stick to SF and MvC

  • U SERIOUS??!!! WTFUCKING DIFFERENCE WITH SC 4?

  • Mortal kombat all da fukin way unlike these stupid fuckers they have really improved there games..by alot

  • This game has obviously lost it's potential..I liked the souls calibur 3 nd 4.. They were pretty awesome but this fifth one is pretty much the same shit nuthin new to it..with different nd weird characters nd adding to that all the awesome characters we liked are gone nd they created less stages.. It's funny bc everytime they make a new soul calibur game it gets worse nd worse.. I was actually excited for this game but not anymore

  • They should make Chuck Norris in soul caliber ... He could block a arrow and send it into his enemies knee then send them to Oblivion :)

  • This looks awful. MK and SF don't have anything to worry about.

  • SC really went downhill....

  • How can people like this colory bullshit? it's like this game was made for justin bieber fans, seriously..

    Mortal Kombat all the way!

  • so fucking disappointed in this game all if want is a sc2 remake just update that version and everything will be ok

  • 5:49 i would bitch slap that idiot

  • Fuck these guys with their sly dig at Tekken. TRY ACTUALLY PLAY TEKKEN INSTEAD OF THAT BULLSHIT!

  • @SeeedyGuy they were saying Tekken was(is) more technical than SC....which is positive and true. How were they dissing Tekken exactly?

    I have no interest in SC5. I liked Soul Edge, SC1 and 2, and SC4 was decent, but not as good as SC2. SC5 looks like a shadow of the former games in the series, almost as bad as SC3 *shudder*.

  • was going to get this but only 6 stages in arcade level?! FUCK IT!!!

  • No Talim

    No Setsuka

    No Zasalamel

    No Amy

    No Rock

    No Cassandra

    No Seong Mina

    Either the good characters are left out..or There are just bargain basement copies. Im so dissapointed in this.
