[Frank118S]

Godzilla Unleshed wii

[AlphaGinga]

Scripted matches, nice.

[TheSkybender]

who the hell play Maxi so suck?

[doublek642]

Dang, Yunsung was my favorite SoulCalibur character. Why isn't he in?

[doublek642]

As usual, Namco Bandai doesn't release a demo.

[steelsirenss]

"ffffwwwwahhhh!

Scream!

Try this!

moooyah!

hah!

diyahh!"

every Maxi quote



[keevin1997]

ivy sounds lik a man

[Shinryu7x]

@keevin1997 So not true!!!

[Heatseaker19]

This guy knows what he is doing. That was great exchange. Well done.

[xNinjaKingx]

Ivy looks much better ._. in the 1 match i saw her lolz

[YoungShady1000]

Did anybody else notice ivy sounds just like the female dark elves in skyrim?

[dee4doa]

I wish Ivy had her lasso moves from SCII :(

[xohlic]

anybody notice how maxi voice was a lil Squeaky at 1:17 while he had ivy in the corner

[TamJam]

@xohlic Maxi, much like Law from Tekken or Fei Long from Street Fighter, is a tribute to Bruce Lee.

[opeamlom]

@whirow

[TBig1986]

Theres nothing wrong with the voice actors.

The jp voice actors just sound weird. Maybe that's just because I was listening to english voices the whole series but I still like them.

[1milliondollers]

I like the sounds ivy's sword makes when its whipping... :P

[asfarfafar]

I really like how Maxi can keep the enemy under pressure with quick attaks :P

[MrAaronsShow]

@Crimson121 Ivys sword

[MrAaronsShow]

@Crimson121 obtaining sword I meant

[MrAaronsShow]

@Crimson121 maybe the player didn't know how to switch the character

[NixtonV]

So does Ivy's sword just stay in sword mode now? Are there no longer three different ways to fight with it?

[Crimson121]

@NixtonV My brother played the demo and said she only has 2 forms now.....sword and whip I think. Looking at the match though it looks like there is only one sword form though....

[Stargeek2006]

@Crimson121 I think what the "Sword and whip" form is, and this is just a theory since I haven't played it, she seems to have a normal sword then a whip version of the same attack that has more reach, which I'd imagine you'd switch between by holding A or B rather then tapping it. I remember they did that a lot in 3.

Just a theory, though. I haven't seen her with a whip mode, just sword going to whip for a second then back to sword.

[chidori496]

Maxi = reason for more soul calibur games

[THETOTALBLUE]

@chidori496 totally nuff said * thumps up *

[swaggmaster2000]

@chidori496 of course he is he's soul calibur's bruce lee and if you make a fighting game without a bruce lee look/act a like then it is destined for failure thats why games like streetfighter, mk, and tekken have been so succesful...you can add to the list if you want

[JoeyPadilla30]

@chidori496 Hell yes!! Maxi is like if Elvis and Bruce Lee had a kid, it would be Maxi, so fucking cool and kicks ass!!

[massivewad]

Check out Ivy's grunt when she dies...BADASS. She still sounds like there's a ton of fight left in her, unlike so many other fighting game females. They usually sound weak.

Here, Ivy's sounds like she's thinking "Oh motherfucker no you didn't!" as she wails.

[RB35MrIzuna]

Wow the voice acting took a dive... What is the voice director doing?!

[massivewad]

@RB35MrIzuna

Especially Maxi. His voice actor is awful. Hope the JPN VA does a better job.

[MatalicMaternia]

3:12 to 3:55....if it weren't for me drooling I'd be cheering out loud...drfyuikokkjheklrkjsaehj­sndr just cleaned the drool from the keyboard, heehee :) Can't wait for SC5 (and these players kick butt)!!! GO MAXI!!

[Mrkillerxwong]

Dynamic entry....................  1m35s

[Invertedzero]

are the critical edges balanced? There should be a mode they can be switched off if you wish to play without them. I miss soul charge, it differentiated it from other fighting games. If they cannot be blocked, it's going to take away from the fun of soul calibur fights of being at like 3% health and blocking and guard impacting and making a comeback the hard way

[NameIsAce]

@Invertedzero As far as I've heard, they are blockable. Think Street Fighter.

[TheUlitimateEdge]

@NameIsAce I think it's gonna be the equivalent to Street Fighter's Ultra and Mortal Kombat's X-Ray.

[ZOMBIEGUTSTZA]

@Invertedzero To me they look perfectly balanced,the maxi just kept punishing whiffed or blocked moves with his critical edge and set him up on the second one he hit.Ivy's looked like a throw,which I am assuming the maxi player didn't know seein as it was just a demo and both players were probably still learning about the game.

[Invertedzero]

i hope this comes out on Wii U, I have a 360 now, and although it does the job, i just hate playing games on the console, nothing is ever exciting about getting a new game on it. Should always have been Sony and Nintendo, and with Soul Calibur, it was best on Gamecube.

[Invertedzero]

its looking a lot better than 4 but there's still a fluidity that's missing from 2 watch?v=40mVOVpZp44

[Invertedzero]

get rid of the stupid BATTLE 3, YOU WIN, animations as well - minimal is sometimes better

[Invertedzero]

I wish they'd make the character positional movement a bit more fluid like how it was in soul calibur 2

[CoolFreeWorld]

@Invertedzero I disagree, V looks more fluid to me.

[MProduct91]

Is just me or is Maxi's voice starts to squeak on some attacks?

[TBig1986]

SukoSeiti

lol that's not zoning, Using the same move is just annoying and unprofessional unless it's for a real purpose, not to just use it over and over hoping it will keep distance and that the opponent won't learn and get around it really quickly,,..

[ShiroKreuz]

You are a fucking retard dude, "thats not zoning" YES it is zoning, stop thinking theres rules and unprofessionality in fighting games, as long as you win everything is acceptable...stop writing comments please.

[TBig1986]

Blowlost1234

They seem to have gotten rid of those 3 stances to make her easier to play with than IV, Never played with her much in IV, but V could be my lucky game to play with her. :)

[SukoSeiti]

@TBig1986 Why? Its like making Xiaoyu and Lei from tekken losing their stance just because ppl don't want to lose some time to learn how to play them... and believe me, if you mastered xiaoyu or lei... Ivy is a piece of cake. God, I think i will stop playing soulcalibur in this one...they changed ivy 3 already in SC 4, her combo's were all messed up...

[Blowlost1234]

Have the 3 stages of ivy's sword dissapeared?? D:

[TBig1986]

Typical spamming ivy but atleast they did good with maxi.

[SukoSeiti]

@TBig1986 Thats not spamming, its called zoning, its an technic used mostly on Street fighter games (Mostly by Hadouken characters, even in Top championships...). You use that, so that your character has always the most control over an area, but at the same time, it may lead some openings with fake advances. All you need to do is to learn how to measure the enemy timing and counter it...

[912b7]

Maxi all day

[TheHolyTaxAccountant]

Wow, I love how much smoother Maxi's animations look between his attacks. They just flow naturally just by sight they look so nice.

[JodyOnToast]

Ivy totally spammed. LOL.

[johnozooloo]

Maxi doesn't look so noobish anymore. I'm liking it.

[QuixoticUkulele]

@johnozooloo

He looks the same to me.

Meh.

[TBig1986]

romans1001

That's not the original theme music for the stage.

The new thing I've noticed in other videos is that you can choose a specific character's theme to play in the same screen where you select the stage.

[romans1001]

I like stage but the theme is a little weak.

[whirow]

LI A with BE hurts @ 7:40 XD

[cheerup131250415]

Ivy look MUCH easiler to use .... COOL!!!

[itachiyates]

LO K is really a good stance low move for maxi even if i miss the bruce lee kick.

[whirow]

@itachiyates Its the old LO K from SC1 2 and 3

But 1 problem is that it is a stance low, so it's still readable unlike the ones we used to be able to do from neutral like 3B+K from SC2 / 3 and 2A+B from SC3

[BloodRoy]

love when people say maxis a mash person anyone in 3d is a mashing character 90 percent of the moves is a button and a direction. because he has flow to his make him a masher? please any 3d fighter can be mashed with any character

[Revonify]

maxi is a charger like now

[Eggheadcobra]

The announcer sounds awful.

[GreasemonkeyCGI]

@Eggheadcobra He's just sleepy.

[SuperTitan00]

maxi-gasm!!! XD

[Maximumspdyder]

Please Namco don't make Maxi a bottom tiers like Soulcalibur IV , Bring Back Cancel of soul II and it will be a better character

[isabella8358]

アイヴィーのライトニングランブラー、全段当たったら結構いいダ­メージになる技になっていた。マキシに接近されると手数が少なく­なってたので、的確に弾いて強力な技を叩き込む事が、理想だと思­う。

[macf1soon]

@isabella8358 Konnichiwa :D Eigo Hanashimasuka?

[gulabZjamal]

4:24 ivy being a ninja

[LlanowarOne]

Can anyone explain me how fast is Ivy's super start-up in frames? It starts extremely fast and seems unduckable but there's a throw escape window at the stat of it's animation. Is it breakable and by witch button?

[Xeonaa]

@LlanowarOne It's inescapable. Seriously, a super throw that is escapable would be so gimp haha. From what I understand, it's not duckable on -reaction-, but it is duckable on -anticipation-. You can also maintain good spacing away from Ivy if you're scared to be hit by it since, like all throws, it has a short range.

[RoamAure]

Please make this just as fast as Soul Calibur 2!

[puertorricanstar]

Give me yun seong and you have no hope

[sonofMegaAlexandros]

I kick all french players in ass in Soul Calibur.

I play online Soul Calibur 4 PS 3 System.

My ID: "GREEK_GLORIA".

and that fight here in this video is poor.

[Saitoh92]

@sonofMegaAlexandros

Greek ? It seems you're the poor one !

[whirow]

@sonofMegaAlexandros "I play online" shows that you are the majority of weak players who probably only use unsafe lows that can't be blocked on reaction online anyways, go challenge them to offline games

[sc2ai]

@sonofMegaAlexandros Come join us at 8wayrun...we'll test those those so called French kicking skills online warrior.

[sonofMegaAlexandros]

@sc2ai

ok, whicht time ?

and what is your ID ?

I just have a PS 3.

[Saitoh92]

Malek vs Saitoh.

[Furzy]

@Saitoh92 Nono, that would be me against Malek :p

[Saitoh92]

@Furzy Trying to stole the credits ? haha no really it's me, sandbag !

[HajinKazama]

@Furzy Not enough random 66B on block to be you ! Too strong and solid to be me !

= It's Saitoh !

[Furzy]

@HajinKazama Nothing is ever random when I play, every move is calculated ;p

[Furzy]

@Furzy That's weird, I clearly remember punishing 214B at 5:23 and being surprised by the range. But then again I may be wrong :p

[ThaShogun12]

Now that's what I'm talkin about! Give Maxi a reason to loop!

[SpyderMaxi]

it bring tears to my eyes to see such loopings....

[deadly32]

@SpyderMaxi , looping?

[NARANagi]

Maxi: The Masher's Choice

[mitzanu2007]

@NARANagi yeah...thats what my friends said, try palying him, see if you can control him properly, maxi is one of the hardest characters to control
