i used to play SC2 alot and loved it but after playing the 3rd one i lost interest in the series until my friend told me devil jin was going to be in the game (im a big tekken fan), so i bought 5 and tbh im still not liking it as much as 2 even without devil jin. i dont know it just doesnt seem that fun offline, but onlines ok i guess. im gona trade it for SSX when it comes out.
i like the game but they got rid of some wepon types i liked from sc4. and it seams like the game is un fair most of the time wen playing the offline modes it has.
Have you seen Angry Joe's review of SV5? It would be cool if you watch it and commentate on it since it gives a good perspective of a casual gamers experience.
People liked the Star Wars characters in SCIV? I'm surprised, I thought they were ridiculous. I'm not a fan of guest characters in general though, developers can design their own characters that fit their games, rather than dumping in Jedi and Italian assassins.
Do not buy this game, it's a piece of junk. It's half finished and everything is far below par for the franchise, i am very disappointed in this game. Rent it before you buy otherwise you spend 60 for a character creator that's not even as complete as it's predecessor. there is only one story, and it's terrible.
I still have my copy f SC 4 from way back when and I started playing it in preparation for SC 5. I'm a Sigfried(probably spelled wrong) and Kilik user. My main issue was really the fact that there wasn't much to do with your custom characters other then story mode.I hope in 5 you'll be able to take them on quests where you have more say in what they do or even a return to conquest mode would be amazing.
I was interested in the custom in sc4 but i quickly lost interest. When i saw the trailer for sc5 and the custom, i thought now this is more like it!!!!
@Boredalot1122 THE shit, or shit? Because whenever I played Tekken 6 online, it suffered from terrible lag in 80% of my matches. I don't have that problem in any other fighting game.
@DarkShadow, Strider (who is my fave MvC character) has an Blonde hair alt in uMvC3 that he uses and Doom wears a Mask, so...and I said 'mostly' Blonde characters, not all the time.
I'm honestly pretty stoked for this game, not gonna lie. Been playing since Soul Blade, haven't been able to stop since. SC2 was by far my favorite, SC3 was okay, but could have done much more with character creation, SC4...it's SC4 >>;
But THIS one, look extremely promising! Even the character creation looks legit this time. And to see a new fighting style like the gypsy character(a frikkin crystal ball!!), plus Ezio Auditore....it has to be good. The gameplay just looks too promising
@Karoku2100 Aha! I didn't think my thoughts were THAT big a deal, but thanks, I guess. ^^; It's true, though. A lot of the fans for SC are pretty...dead-set in what they like. That often can get in the way of being open-minded to new games. BUT! It's not my place to judge or anything. I am glad to see another nostalgia-player looking forward to the game, though. It gives me a little more hype to see what exactly SC5 holds for us. :)
watched a live tournament last night and this game SUCKS..im so disappointed. how the hell you take away GUARD BLOCKING..and what with the damn super move meter..that's so cheesy and take away from the intergity of the game. and now its confirmed that there will be 3 mimic characters!!! one word - LAZINESS. this frachise has really took downturn and SCIII...i was really excited about buying this game since SCIV was complete garbage also..but i see now i'll just buy a used copy.
@MegaMarcoX15 well they might have a "clone" like Sophitia to the new guy and Takie to that new girl. if anything they might include her playstyle in the creation mode. crossing fingers!!! i played a crazy talim!
i got started in sc2, which was fun as all hell, even if it seems light on features in hindsight. people always give me shit for it, but sc3 was one of my favorite games for ps2, and i loved it even more than 2. awesome (and grueling) single player modes, deep character customization, huge roster of fighters; it still is my standard by which i compare other fighting games. sc4 was clunky and awkward by comparison, and so i only ever played it a couple times. here's hoping sc5 brings it back.
i think i might actually get this now, when you talk about it like this. thats why i love your videos max lol. but this SC looks really good with the new parrying thing they added, theres an actual story mode that is similar to the MK9 story mode and that new character with the crystal ball looks damn fun to use. definately gotta get this one
You know what I think? I think we need more Tira. Holy fuck, she is so hot. I would fuck the everliving shit out of here. Twice. fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fappity
SCIV actually got me hooked on fighting games. The only reason I stopped playing was because of SF4. That, and the fact that the game lets you to continue to beat up/t-bag a corpse after a K.O. Made me rage way too much lol.
I only played soul calibur cause kratos and ezio was in it after that im not a fan sorry and max thanks again bro ur tutorial on vergil helped me alot
3d fighters are kinda dead, I loved SC 2 and 3, but 4 was really bad, Im doubting the success of this game, it doesnt look too different from 4 and it replaced some of the characters like taki and cassandra, with animu teen girls...
@GrotesquePoet no, no it didnt, but I doubt adding it will fix the issues 4 had, that, and SC isnt know for having a balanced cast. not as bad as Capcom's fighters, but it can be bad
can i just say max, you are my favorite internet personality, and i love your soothing voice over game footage, the only thing i wanna hear during a game, if not my own inner monologue, is the sound of you explaining to me how to be better. g4 should hire you
should i use a controller or a fightstick to play this game. My fightstcik recently broke and i need to know if i need to buy a new one to play this game well.
Loved all of the Soul Calibur games. Not really feeling this one though. I loved that it didn't have the power ups and super combos like other games. Now they fell into the fire with everyone else. I'll still check it out though.
The last 2 SC's fell off for me as well. just couldn't get into them. This one looks pretty interesting though. I think the witch chick is gonna wind up being really cheap. But I MAx is doing videos for a variety of different kinds of games, which I LOVE but i only have one question. Max when are you gonna talk about SKULL GIRLS!?
SC2 was the best for me hands down. SC3 was okay but it was definitely missing something. SC4 was horrible. I played it for like a month and never picked it up again. I really hope SC5 brings back the spirit of the game (like SC2) and holds my attention better than the previous 2 installments.
Kilik is in the game as an Edge Master/Inferno type character sadly (and Edge Master is in the game to which makes no sense to me). There's a version of Harada in the game (as Harada Tekken, yes the Tekken producer) who has Devil Jin's T6 moveset lol.
@RamsusXIII Actually, Kilik is a unique kind of Edge Master, along with Sophitia. You can pre-select the style you want to copy, so in this case, you can select Xiba's and you'd be playing as Kilik again.
With the exception of 3, I've been consistantly playing the series and been all over the place in terms of characters before discovering I do enjoy playing Astaroth the most.
I think soul calibur 2 was the best cause, it felt like you had full control of your character, and it didn't have supers to depend on, It took actual skill to defeat your opponent.
Honestly, I played the HELL out of SCII and it's personally my favorite one of the bunch. My 3 mains were, Link, Nightmare and Cervantes. 3 was good and I enjoyed it, but 4... Not so much.
I'm LookN 4Ward 2 SC5. But Wit The Exception Of Mistrugi & Ivy All The Characters I Like R Gone/Replaced. Taki Was My Primary, Sophitia, Yun Seong, Talim, Seung Mina & Others I Use, Yet They Kept 70 Year Old Voldo. I Just Wish They Kept The Original's As Well As The New Characters 2 Lengthen The Roster
I No They're FollowN A Story, But If A Character Dies Or Whatever, Just Keep Them On The Roster...My Only Complaint, Besides An CGI Intro
Its okay that you didn't like 3, it was six and a half pounds of raw ass. Balance was horrid, costumes sucked, and the computer AI made everything but playing with friends awful.
I played a few characters, but mostly Mina and Raph.
soul caliber too me is only fun if you have friends, the really detailed character making in 4 got me hooked, the online was never good tbh, i know what he means about the finishes, it feels like they weren't even in the game, in case you don't know the only way you can get it basically is by constant swinging at someone blocking for a good 20 seconds, and it's easy to mess it up, it was almost like an easter egg you'd find by one on one with friends, i would of liked a fatality better.
This is why maxi is the best commentator ever... he doesn't discriminate in the games department. He's not just a COD guy, he plays everything and gives each game their due, and best of all, he plays fighters too.
@Cynnik911 I don't even understand why ppl discriminate every game has something to like. Personally, i dont focus on graphics. i care more about the gameplay. y'kno?
The single biggest problem with SCV is that like with SCIV (only more so now) Namco doesn't respect the cast of the game. They think they are all easily replaceable / aren't as interesting as whatever guest they have. This is what prevents newcomers from really caring about the series as a whole.
As for the new gameplay elements, the drastic changes to the GI system are what most fans are worried about. SCV is too turtle friendly.
I know how you feel max. There was some magic in SC1 and SC2 but 3 and 4 were lacking for what ever reason. But I played the hell out of 2 on the GC. I'm excited for 5 not for any real reason other than I have hopes for the series getting a new breath of life. Also I dropped for because of SFIV and Blazblue
@shadowbox141 What? Tira and Cervantes are totally in the game. Only Cervantes seems to have gone a little fruity this time around. He is a walking fashion disgrace to undead pirates everywhere. Tira is still Tira, similar in stye and moves.
Max, I'm played every Soul Calibur game and I agree with you about Soul Calibur 2 it was the best one. Now with Soul Calibur 5 I don't think it's going to be as good as SC2 but, I have high hopes for it. Now what sparked my interest about 5 was is the Character Creation, the special finishes redone and that they kept Mitsurugi :) I've played as him since Soul Blade. I Can't Wait for this GAME. XD
I'm a talim and taki player but knowing my two favorite fighters in the game kinda saddens me. I know why taki was taken out, but I don't know why talim was so I'm a little sad, but I'm still excited for the game and how it will play out.
I am Siegfried and Cervantes player. I played SCI all the time in arcades, then spending so much time playing SCII on my Gamecube when it came out. I then picked up SCIII for my PS2, which in my opinion was the BEST in the series, it felt more than a simple fighter game... it had a story which made it so much better than others. SCIV was a disappointment for me, the game felt imbalanced and the new mechanics were weird. But I LOVED the way Siegfried worked in SCIV.
Half my comment got deleted... ...the assassins creed series! Character creation bores me now enough clothing. When soul calibur V comes out I'll be using Pyrrha as my main as I used Sophitia in soulcalibur IV and I'll be giving Ezio a bash as well!
I'll be honest in saying I was 13 when SCIV came out and at the time I only wanted it for the star wars cast and I had never play a SC game before. However when I put the game on I can honestly say I loved it from the moment I put it on! Also the character creation to me was amazing! I've played the game to death for years and have been playing it even more recently because of SC Vs upcoming release. When I heard that Ezio Auditore da Firenze was in the game I was even more excited as I love th
This game was good in 2 and 3. But since 4, is was becoming more and more like Street FIghter, which I don't like. I play Namco games because they don't have that stupid shoryuken priority gimmick and those super automatic combos. But now, this not a Soul Calibur game I won't play.
My biggest problem with SC series, aside from the problems of too many mimics, the poor excuse for balance (looking at you, Mitsurugi and Taki), the unflattering clothing selection for the female characters, and the stunt casting from the previous entries, is the lack of Rock! And for some bizarre reason, they keep the copy-cat, Astaroth, but ditch the original, better character?
The biggest problem that I find with the character creation is that there isn't really any cool items. I try customizing Amy, because hes my main, and no matter what i search through on available clothing (what little there is) just comes out looking like some stripper drag queen who lost a bet.
Max, you mentioned that you don't know why you didn't get into SC4. You said that SC3 didn't grab you, which probably is a big part of it. You mentioned that you were really excited about SC4 because of the Star Wars characters. Stunt casting is exciting, but it doesn't make the game. If SC4 didn't really improve on SC3, then it's not surprising that you'd get sick of playing it.
I honestly loved the last 2, but I'm mostly really hoping it doesn't become all about juggling and guage. It's never been that way and it's part of what made it so awesome.
I do feel bad though, Sc5 is gettin bashed right now cuz of the whole Mimics but that happened because they put the goal of Jan.31 but thats not enough time to fully polish the game, They were getting rushed so i guess the desperation measure here was these mimics, Though i do want that Devil Jin(Who does look pretty damn broken)
Hmm, Ok so im a little dissapointed with the whole 3 mimics but since theres 3 mimics and Omega Pyrrha would be a pointless Create a character she may be a blank slot as well, So what im hoping is some other fighting styles for create a characters but what im thinking is going to happen is the character creation screen is just less screens to select, Hmm my denial about this matter makes me hope that Kilik and Elysium get an update and get their own Moveset or somthin, dlc or somthin, who knows
I've played all of the Soul Calibur games, none of them have been that great since the first. I used to be a fan, but the series got way too lackluster for me, so I don't think I'll be picking this one up, due mainly to the fact that I am addicted to 2D fighters now, and 3D fighters seem like a distant memory. I even tried going back and playing SC4 recently, but I just ended up playing Marvel after a couple matches. It doesn't interest me, but I'll check out any videos you post of it.
I want to see more combo's, i played SC 4 alot and i appreciated the stun combo's and what little juggles you have. But being able to DI out of juggles made juggles them selves short, if they up the combo system and bring back the old 8 way run i beleive they'll have another perfect hit on their hands. old 8wayRun, new meter system, and new combo system = gold imo
I have high hopes for SC5 since I have played every other one and had a lot of fun with them. I always worry that they a going to be broken but I am in it more for fun anyway. I would like to see what you can come up with when it comes SC5 so I would like to see more.
i felt the same way about the series as you. sc2 = god amazing, sc3 = still pretty good, intro of the 8 custom classes added a LOT to the series. sc4 = barely touched it after a month. SC4 was a port to the next gen consoles. They spent too much time on graphics and other that they missed changing any actual game mechanics. Every great fighting game now has a revenge system. It gives losing players a fighting chance. It's really the competitive aspect now which will recapture me.
Kilik and Maxi were my favorite characters. I feel you about the way some of the older versions turned out. I love these games though because it's basically Tekken with weapons, lol not really but I just love the fact that it's the same company. I feel like the need to make a more versatile combo system though
Certainly looking more forward to this than Street FighterXTekken. What can I say? I love Soul Calibur, been playing it since the second game which was THE best in the series, IMO.
@suaskeuchia To add more on the AI part, I could literally spam one move to kill the highest level of NPC, they don't know how to block nor parry those moves. One of them is from the alternate Ivy move set I believe. This is one of the examples why SCIII was broken and unpolished.
@suaskeuchia However, not all of those fighting styles were playable. Most of them were broken, useless, or not fun to play. Also, especially for the last generation of gaming, fighting with NPC was a big part of practicing in general. SC2's AI was absolutely perfect, SC3's AI was broken. Speaking of the story mode, there were a lot of terrible designing choices. This is not a roleplaying game, different endings with one single character is unnecessarily.
@dragonfxx It'd be a good mechanic if it ever worked. It was far too complicated and far too specific. On the rare occasion that you were able to pull it off your opponent was one kick to the shins away from death anyway.
Soul Calibur series just get worse and worse...

Loved all of the Soul Calibur games. Not really feeling this one though. I loved that it didn't have the power ups and super combos like other games. Now they fell into the fire with everyone else. I'll still check it out though.

SC2 was the best for me hands down. SC3 was okay but it was definitely missing something. SC4 was horrible. I played it for like a month and never picked it up again. I really hope SC5 brings back the spirit of the game (like SC2) and holds my attention better than the previous 2 installments.

Kilik is in the game as an Edge Master/Inferno type character sadly (and Edge Master is in the game to which makes no sense to me). There's a version of Harada in the game (as Harada Tekken, yes the Tekken producer) who has Devil Jin's T6 moveset lol.

@RamsusXIII Actually, Kilik is a unique kind of Edge Master, along with Sophitia. You can pre-select the style you want to copy, so in this case, you can select Xiba's and you'd be playing as Kilik again.

I think soul calibur 2 was the best cause, it felt like you had full control of your character, and it didn't have supers to depend on, It took actual skill to defeat your opponent.

soul caliber too me is only fun if you have friends, the really detailed character making in 4 got me hooked, the online was never good tbh, i know what he means about the finishes, it feels like they weren't even in the game, in case you don't know the only way you can get it basically is by constant swinging at someone blocking for a good 20 seconds, and it's easy to mess it up, it was almost like an easter egg you'd find by one on one with friends, i would of liked a fatality better.

The single biggest problem with SCV is that like with SCIV (only more so now) Namco doesn't respect the cast of the game. They think they are all easily replaceable / aren't as interesting as whatever guest they have. This is what prevents newcomers from really caring about the series as a whole.
As for the new gameplay elements, the drastic changes to the GI system are what most fans are worried about. SCV is too turtle friendly.

Max, I'm played every Soul Calibur game and I agree with you about Soul Calibur 2 it was the best one. Now with Soul Calibur 5 I don't think it's going to be as good as SC2 but, I have high hopes for it. Now what sparked my interest about 5 was is the Character Creation, the special finishes redone and that they kept Mitsurugi :) I've played as him since Soul Blade. I Can't Wait for this GAME. XD

I am Siegfried and Cervantes player. I played SCI all the time in arcades, then spending so much time playing SCII on my Gamecube when it came out. I then picked up SCIII for my PS2, which in my opinion was the BEST in the series, it felt more than a simple fighter game... it had a story which made it so much better than others. SCIV was a disappointment for me, the game felt imbalanced and the new mechanics were weird. But I LOVED the way Siegfried worked in SCIV.

I'll be honest in saying I was 13 when SCIV came out and at the time I only wanted it for the star wars cast and I had never play a SC game before. However when I put the game on I can honestly say I loved it from the moment I put it on! Also the character creation to me was amazing! I've played the game to death for years and have been playing it even more recently because of SC Vs upcoming release.

This game was good in 2 and 3. But since 4, is was becoming more and more like Street FIghter, which I don't like. I play Namco games because they don't have that stupid shoryuken priority gimmick and those super automatic combos. But now, this not a Soul Calibur game I won't play.

My biggest problem with SC series, aside from the problems of too many mimics, the poor excuse for balance (looking at you, Mitsurugi and Taki), the unflattering clothing selection for the female characters, and the stunt casting from the previous entries, is the lack of Rock! And for some bizarre reason, they keep the copy-cat, Astaroth, but ditch the original, better character?
Namco, I am disappoint.

The biggest problem that I find with the character creation is that there isn't really any cool items. I try customizing Amy, because hes my main, and no matter what i search through on available clothing (what little there is) just comes out looking like some stripper drag queen who lost a bet.

Max, you mentioned that you don't know why you didn't get into SC4. You said that SC3 didn't grab you, which probably is a big part of it. You mentioned that you were really excited about SC4 because of the Star Wars characters. Stunt casting is exciting, but it doesn't make the game. If SC4 didn't really improve on SC3, then it's not surprising that you'd get sick of playing it.

I do feel bad though, Sc5 is gettin bashed right now cuz of the whole Mimics but that happened because they put the goal of Jan.31 but thats not enough time to fully polish the game, They were getting rushed so i guess the desperation measure here was these mimics, Though i do want that Devil Jin(Who does look pretty damn broken)

Hmm, Ok so im a little dissapointed with the whole 3 mimics but since theres 3 mimics and Omega Pyrrha would be a pointless Create a character she may be a blank slot as well, So what im hoping is some other fighting styles for create a characters but what im thinking is going to happen is the character creation screen is just less screens to select, Hmm my denial about this matter makes me hope that Kilik and Elysium get an update and get their own Moveset or somthin, dlc or somthin, who knows

I've played all of the Soul Calibur games, none of them have been that great since the first. I used to be a fan, but the series got way too lackluster for me, so I don't think I'll be picking this one up, due mainly to the fact that I am addicted to 2D fighters now, and 3D fighters seem like a distant memory. I even tried going back and playing SC4 recently, but I just ended up playing Marvel after a couple matches. It doesn't interest me, but I'll check out any videos you post of it.

I want to see more combo's, i played SC 4 alot and i appreciated the stun combo's and what little juggles you have. But being able to DI out of juggles made juggles them selves short, if they up the combo system and bring back the old 8 way run i beleive they'll have another perfect hit on their hands. old 8wayRun, new meter system, and new combo system = gold imo

I have high hopes for SC5 since I have played every other one and had a lot of fun with them. I always worry that they a going to be broken but I am in it more for fun anyway. I would like to see what you can come up with when it comes SC5 so I would like to see more.

Just to clarify that
only veteran pro SC players with a good taste in fighting games understand that SCll is the best SC to date
starting from SC3 and SC4 the group of losers called Project soul changed the 8 way run system of the game in a way that made the game suck so bad
they ignored our complaints about this change in 8 way run and the drastic decrease in characters move lists
i thought they will restore the normal SC1 and Scll 8 wayrun style in SC4 after they made this mistake in Sc3 but

Dreamcast was the best, it allowed unlimited arcade perfect Soul Calibur. So good!
Soul Calibur II WAS the series finest hour. It was faster, sharper, and better looking. I got time in on all three console versions.
SCIII's stages blew me away. I really enjoyed the new characters and colour edit. The engine wasn't as tight, so it took a while to get into it.
SCIV got character creation right and has phenomenal graphics. Just like III, it was slower and clunkier than it should've been.

i felt the same way about the series as you. sc2 = god amazing, sc3 = still pretty good, intro of the 8 custom classes added a LOT to the series. sc4 = barely touched it after a month. SC4 was a port to the next gen consoles. They spent too much time on graphics and other that they missed changing any actual game mechanics. Every great fighting game now has a revenge system. It gives losing players a fighting chance. It's really the competitive aspect now which will recapture me.

@suaskeuchia To add more on the AI part, I could literally spam one move to kill the highest level of NPC, they don't know how to block nor parry those moves. One of them is from the alternate Ivy move set I believe. This is one of the examples why SCIII was broken and unpolished.
evil0567 1 month ago
@suaskeuchia However, not all of those fighting styles were playable. Most of them were broken, useless, or not fun to play. Also, especially for the last generation of gaming, fighting with NPC was a big part of practicing in general. SC2's AI was absolutely perfect, SC3's AI was broken. Speaking of the story mode, there were a lot of terrible designing choices. This is not a roleplaying game, different endings with one single character is unnecessarily.
