  • this game looks friggin awesome... and has friggin nice netcode... but i still don't know if it worth to pick it up and waste some time with it... i kinda only played sc1 tho...

  • also most people online have bad connection

  • soul calibur is annoying online cuz people just use the same moves and dont use any skill lots of people dont have skill they just spam to win so it defeats skill most of the time

  • Comment removed

  • you know Honzo Gonzo?

  • Um... max... i knew about stuff like ukemi and air recovery by... READING THE MANUAL.

  • I bought the 3rd one for gamecube then saw a arcade cabinet for s.c. 2 and it was sick aha never got the 4th one but im leaning to buying this

  • I've fought so many xiba and natsu I can beat them with my eyes closed x.x pick someone else lol. Xiba = 8 way run to close distance then combo. Natsu = Patroklos anti-air critical edge ring out lol.

  • 7:18 the Ezio shuffle!

  • this game is the shittest fighting game ever made they have to many spammable character and the story was shit and short and they think they made an extra mode but all they did was jack up the difficulty by ten it is a shit game if your wondering about buying it don it is a waste for your money. also online is shit as everybody spams moves with either ezio or xiba

  • @hobbitboy666 Spammable moves are punishable moves. I have no problem dealing with spammers - I even find Taki er- Natsu spammers airly easy most times. Don't say the game sucks just because you ail at it lol. Get better and you'll enjoy it more.

  • @hobbitboy666 If you want a tactic vs Xiba, use 8-way run moves when he uses his long range pokes as the pokes usually have slow recovery. Look out for things like this if you want to win.

  • @hobbitboy666 I spam too, but i also find my moves defendable

  • can someone help me i just got this game and every online game i go into it says connection lost to other player after about 1 round of fighting someone please help me!!!!!

  • lol, iron man gets his suit destroyed!

  • Well for the history of my gaming with Soul Calibur, it goes all the way back to Soul Blade/Edge on the Playstation. I remember getting it from my dad and we used to play all the time. Now towards Soul Calibur, I didn't get much with the 1st one but the 2nd on up (til 5) I played alot of. I loved 3 overall and with the updates they've done is real impressive and Max, your Siegfried is very formidable from what i've seen, I wouldn't mind going against you as Taki (or her protoge') someday

  • First title I ever player was SC4

    Fact is I love to play online.... but I kept finding MASSIVE LAG, noobs spamming same combos and noobs that at the end of the match, while loosing, left to keep a good win loss ratio.

    The game is actually awesome and I love the fact anyone can choose his style and customize a character.... but... the community was pretty absent and cocky....

    So.... I used to like this game, but if SC5 got the same problems....

    I'll switch to tekken......

  • I think I've played against you lol.

  • From what I played of SC5, the thing that made me hate it was the removal of the passive GI(Guard Impact) so dumb to remove it, especially now that online is good. Dumb mistake on Namco's part I believe.

  • *good so yeah it's getting there, don't think it'll beat the third though.

  • I started with Soul Calibur 2 and I adored it, I got it since I liked Tekken but this was soooo much better, it was great, then got Soul Calibur 3 and actually, I think I'd say that it's my fav game of all time. There was nothing I could fault about it, have played on it sooo many times. I played the 4th a little but there was so much I missed from the other 2 games. The 5th, well it's alright for the mo, I'm missing some of the characters and their moves, but the Character Creation is really g

  • 04:00 Well, that feature was in since Soul Calibur I...

  • All I want is that you show us how you do some moves with Sieg! he is my main, but compared to what you are doing with him, I'm looking like a Mediocore player o_o

    ANd BTW: I'M TOTALLY FOR MAX AS AN CAS WITH SIEG STYLE =D

  • I'm fucking baws with Viola and Xiba are my mains and Maxi,cervantes and tira are my backups when I get bored of my mains. I'm telling you right now Viola is fucking baws when you know how to use her. I got about half of her moveset and I got just the game today. Anyways, I've been with Soulcalibur since it first came out on Dreamcast. It's good to see an actual good series still alive in 2012 ^ ^ Hopefully they make at least one more >3>

  • i love soul calibur 2 rocked that game soo hard. and i played 3 decent amount but i dont play soul calibur 4 very much.

  • the only thing i hate about soul calibur is the guest characters. They make them so bad.  Link was just bad in Sc2 and seeing ezio, which i am a huge assassin's creed fan, he seems to be in the low tier like with every guest character. Vader was the only guest that i seen that was high tier

  • @Kenji1271 Dude Vader is the worst character of all soul calibur history..

  • @Kenji1271 youre right vader was awesome, at dying. the apprentice and yoda were ridiculous. yoda was immune to mid hits, high hits and throws and the apprentice if you learned him was borderline cheap

  • WTF!? you know Honzo Gonzo?

  • ive played most of the soul caliburs. never play onlne. my best characters are siegfried, nightmare, and mitsurugi. 

  • Don't know if this has been said before but air recovery has been in the series since at least part 2.

  • Ezio, I'mma let you finish, but Link was the best guest character of all time! Of all time!

  • Try Patroclus of somethin... He's beast

  • I feel like a bit of a newfag here, but I didn't start my SC adventures until SC3. I loved the game and still play it to this day. I then got SC4 and was a bit disappointed. They improved the graphics and the gameplay, but it was lacking in content. I'm just about to get this one.

  • Soul Calibur 5 with Doom I will give Doom yogurt if you do it

  • tht was nice

  • 10:52 Your opponent's identity revealed!!

  • can anyone tell me if Soul Calibur (Dreamcast) and Soul Edge (psx) are supposed to be the same? I have no clue

  • @n1hondude No, Soul Edge was the first game in the series.

  • ...................you could have beaten Ezio but apparently you took an arrow in the knee.

  • I've been playing Tekken and SC for years (since 97 I believe) and I'm really only interested in fighting games.

    I also play BlazBlue and Dead or Alive, but Tekken most of the time. I have SC2 through 4, and my mains are Xianghua and Raphael, with some Kilik and Talim mixed in.

  • Hey new viewer and almost a subscriber. If at all possible would you be willing to show us some character outfit recolors and stuff that you will make and any created characters as well?

  • I lost interest cause my main Necrid got removed. I also used Heihachi and Astaroth alot.

  • Im glad Soul Calibur V is so great. I almost had no hope for SC after 3 and IV. Sould Edge and SC2 were so great and finally V is good too.

  • Are we still gonna see Ultimate Marvel 3 videos?

  • played the hell out of Soul Edge PS1 and Soul Calibur1,2(especially the arcade),(skipped 3), Didn't really play for all that much. I may pick up 5 later.

  • If this game is anything like sc4, you can actually shake out of stun. just a tip

  • I played Soul Calibur 2 first, mostly for Spawn. Never played any of the others though, but I might check out 5.

  • My first soul calibur was 2 like most for Link. but I got 3 and that became my favorite. The series I have followed very much. Ill never forget my first tournament too. it was SC2 and I played nightmare, I got to quarter finals and lost to a talim. I was about 13-14 at the time. and I trained by going into survival on very hard, my furthest level is 56. I dont like 4 at all, it never measured up for me.

  • I played all of the soul calibur games except for this. cant wait to get it

  • I've been playing since Soul Blade on the Playstation, I picked Siegfried and never looked back. Well, except in Soul Calibur 2 where they made him one of Nightmare's costumes.

  • Max, hear me out here. Seriously, listen. Max.

    MAKE YOURSELF in the character creator, and give him Siegfried's moveset. And y'know something, I hate whoring for thumbs, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

    Thumbs up if you wanna see Max make -himself- and use him online.

    ...Or Dr. Doom.

  • The first Soul Caliber I played Alot is 2. Go Link. I didnt like 3,I played 4 not that much. Now I am back in 5, gotta learn alot stuf. I wanna master like 5 characters lol.

  • My history with SC:

    SC2- Played it. Was bad at it.

    SC3- Played it. Was...better at it.

    SC4- Played it. Was Worse than before at it.

    ...I'm not good a 3D fighters.

  • I like this game a lot. Feels better than 5. In before Taki fan tards start raing. 

  • I've played Soul Calibur 2 and 3 of the gamecube also xbox verison which are good.My favorite character were Ivy,Kilik,Yoshimutsu,Nightmare­,and Maxi with those five or with just Ivy,I was a beast but not till now i find out Im really rusty.Hopefully that will change with new game.Trianing everday and still finding new things that i didnt know that were there.Love the vids Max keep'em and hopefully i'll see you on the fighting circuit.

  • I knew somebody would make an Iron Man. It's actually one of the better ones I've seen.

  • I had a friend bring over a dreamcast and soul calibur 1 when I was younger don't remember much of it though. I remember having a shit load of friends over at my house and a ps2 and playing soul calibur 2 until like 4 in the morning each of us taking turns during matches. Soul calibur 3 was the first one I personally bought and between the gameplay I had learned to love and the absolutely amazing chronicles of the sword it played it constantly.

  • @IceDemonTouya I got soul calibur 4 as one of the first games on my xbox. I had a friend close by that didnt really like fighting games but he was more than happy to play it and we spent at least 2 to 3 months just going to each others houses and playing matches endlessly.

  • I believe air recovery came in at part 3

  • Comment removed

  • I only played 2nd and 3rd Soul Calibur. They're for Playstation 2. But Playstation 2 did not have online play.

  • That Iron Man looks more like Ronald McDonald

  • Comment removed

  • Played the first one in the arcades. Not too crazy.

    Bought 2. LOVED IT TO DEATH.

    Bought 3. ALSO LOVED IT TO DEATH.

    And I'm still playing 4 right now. It's cool for the most part.

  • I guess you didn't play much Guilty Gear or BlazBlue since you'd never heard of Ukemi?

  • i got (the best) soul calibur 2 and i liked it didnt play sc3 but i played soul calibur 4 and was disappointed when they split seigfried and nightmare i was so used to playing nightmare from sc2 that i tried to do moves that each seigfried and nightmare from sc4 did not have

  • 1:28-1:31

    Oh Shit!! It OTG's!!!!! XD!!!!

  • Siegfried looks like a Space Marine, I love it.

  • What's my history with SC? I love the Soul series since Edge.

  • I got Soul Calibur 3 back in the day, had a lot of fun with that. My friend ended up buying SC4, and I didn't enjoy that as much. I'd really like to pick this game up soon.

  • Shoutouts to Honzo Gonzo

  • I've owned and played every soul calibur game. 

  • IM BUYING THIS DAMN GAME TODAY

  • wow dissed by your own character

  • Played all SC games

  • Never owned a SC game. barely played 4 at all. but this looks so amazing, I can't pass it up.

  • All this parrying/blocking stuff sounds alot like SSB

  • gota get this game if it has ezio in it

  • Man, you're going hardcore on this game. Any chance for an SFxT Online Warrior when that's out?

  • Is there a trick to finding ranked games? I never could get one to pull up even after telling it to look for 3+ connection speed.

  • i dont know if this is the place to ask but any other raphael styles out there?

  • i first played sc2 on the gamecube. mained link and raphael and on the xbox used spawn, raphael, and mitsurugi. then i played sc1 that was on the xbl market place..but they didnt have raphael ;(...then i played sc4 and wrecked so many lobbies with raphael..now i play on the 360 with raphael and im just starting to pick up the devil jin style...overall soul calibur is the best at what they do

  • there is something that bother me, GI. You cant do anything because if you dont have any meter you just can press G... and waite

  • you just destroyed iron man and all of his armor, i guess he needs some segfriedbuster armor

  • When do you usually play? I'd love to have some matches with you.

  • do Doom and Max play Soul Calibur 5. It will be really funny!

  • Whoa man, this game looks to be alot of fun, I think I'll just pick this up when I get chance.

  • Never touched the first games or 3. I loved 2 because of Link, but I wasn't really into fighting games back then. My friends and I picked up 4, and we played the shit out of that game! It's because of the create a character mode. We made a created cast that ended up overshadowing the original. Having Kilik as the Pope, and Yun Seong as Jesus made the fights so much more hilarious and memorable. Pretty sure 4 was the most fun I've had with a fighting game, or at least the fondest memories.

  • @themysterymeatman Well of course watching the Pope and Jesus beating the shit out of each other would be hilarious and memorable.

  • I played a craptop of Soul Edge, the first Soul game. Back then, it was essentially Tekken with swords, but the story mode kept me coming back. I then played a small amount Soul Calibur 2 for the Linkage. Picked up SC4 several months ago for 20 bucks due to it having Darth Vader. Recently, through seeing your videos, I've decided I wanted to get a better player in both SC and UMvC3. So you'll be seeing me in the comments a lot answering whatever questions you ask.

  • I played SC 1, 2, and 4. Skipped 3 due to it being a PS2 exclusive. I loved SC4 just because I could finally play against human opponents (my friends eventually got sick of playing me because I kept winning).

  • Played alot of SC, SC2, and SC4. skipped 3 entirely for no known reason. Between me and my friends SC2 remains a favorite of ours. My main has been Yoshimitsu since the original SC, as I've always been inclined to pick unorthodox characters. I have a question for you max, what fight stick do you use? I've recently bought alot of fighting games and am looking to step up my game. I am considering the madcatz tournament edition for street fighter.

  • Played the hell out of Soul Edge, SC and SC2, especially SC2. Didn't like 3 because it felt like a step backward, and 4 was even more so. Was unhappy because SC3 and 4 changed characters a lot too much. To me as well SC2 was the best in the series. Played almost everyone in the game. Mainstreamed Nightmare until people started reading him too much so then I started Taki and Xianghua, then Ivy. Loved Ivy!!!

  • so is devil jin a real character in this game cus i played someone using him in an unranked lobby

  • I'm really excited about Soul Calibur 5. Its looking really neat, and just nowing that it is faster brings me back to Soul Calibur 2 time. And all those new mechanic changes are making this game more attractive.

  • You should do some assist me in Eps with some of the new character and show us what they made of.

  • max you should make a character named strider (based of ezio)

  • @AgeDrillin Or Doom xD

    Too bad he won't have finger lasers

  • who else thinks that the ezio player got really lucky at 7:25

  • not sure if you answered it already, but still curious as to why you didn't stick to SC4 when it was out. i felt the create/mod a character options were nearly the same as this iteration, yet you still flipped out when you found out about color saturation and selecting individual pieces to color. plus the netcode was pretty good from what i remember.

  • Siegfried: Another person Max looks like.

  • I was thinking about getting this game, but I got Ultimate MvC 3 instead. Sorry SC, but no Zasalamel, no sell.

  • I went in training mode picked Xiba and turbod horizontal attack and tried to just guard it... I think I've got 3/100...

  • Nightmare's Crit Edge is soooooo OP.

  • @TheFearUnlimited You can bait and punish it with quick stepping. I agree though, it is still a really good CE.

  • At 7:26 siegfried was still in the fight till he took an arrow to the knee

  • @crazedanimefan65 dude .... no.

  • So Max, did you switch to the Arcade Stick or are you gonna stick to the Controller?

  • lol iron man custom 

  • Ironman got knocked the fuck out XD!!!

  • ya no won wins a laggy game.

  • The game had air control (I call it DI since I've played a lot of smash bros) in Soul Calibur 2 too, and I'm pretty sure they had immediate ground techs too, but I'm not too sure.

  • If you are going to play Siegfried a lot, think we can see some Create a Soul characters using Siegfried Style. I'm sure everyone would love to see you fight as Doctor Doom or Strider using one of Siegfried's swords online

  • @ThornsOfSerenity No, doom would be ezio for hood and finger laser hand cannon, and strider would be taki, for ninjas

  • I'm absolutely watching this series! Got me really hyped for the game, can't wait!

  • ive made Zabuza from naruto

    Harley Quinn

    & Laino from the thundercats in the character creation

    

  • It's pronounced "OO-ke-mi", not "You-KE-mi". It's Japanese.

  • Damn you Max! You made me want this game now :<

  • Just picked up the game a few hours ago, and have been playing it ever since. Never loved a Soul Calibur this much since the second one. Way to go, Namco Bandai!

  • Can't wait to pick this game up this saturday.It's been a long time since I haven't used my main Maxi.

  • Comment removed

  • Suggestion: Soul Calibur 5: The Online Warrior feat. Doctor Victor Von Fucking Doom.

  • The parrying meter was a disappointment.

  • Hope you fight some Hildes or Ivy's next time, I'd like to see how they play in this game.

  • Loved Soul Calibur 2, was somewhat hyped for this until I heard the parrying costs meter now >=(

  • I would like to see a future video of when to properly use a critical edge, or if even some critical edges can be countered by another critical edge.

  • @qu1cks1lvr826 If they can counter each other, I've yet to see it happen.

  • @qu1cks1lvr826 moshimitsu i think thats what it is the samurai guy his can be countered by yoshimitsu

  • You should have doom try to play this game.

  • I've never played any of the Soul Calibur games, but I really wanna get 5 now since its the newest of the Soul Calibur franchise and I think that this game series looks amazingly badass, I missed out on 4 when it had came out and never got around to buying it so when I heard 5 was coming I decided to wait, hopefully can get it today.

  • i wanna see Max play as Aeon, and go into what all this Mimic Character stuff is as i havent found any info on that

  • My main was taken out of SC:5 and now I'm having trouble finding a character that I want to stick with or do good with.

  • Max I just want to point out that on souledge on the playstation you had that air recovery in there too. Also there was a meter in that that allowed you to do supers but at the cost of your weapon's health. So super moves are not really new to the soul games :) play some soul edge max its a brilliant game.

  • air recovery was in soul calibur 2 was it not?

  • This game is looking more and more impressive everyday!!!!!!

    I'm starting to love this game!!

  • I miss weapon master mode so much

  • I've played every soul calibur game that has been released...I still own the original for the Dreamcast...

    Very disappointed they got rid of my main girl, Seoung Mina, in this game... Sadness

  • Maxi is my main.Its ironic and funny how max doesn't like using maxi in this game.

  • I played the shit out of SC2 for Gamecube. Yunsung was my main, though I liked playing Mitsurugi and Assassin as well.

  • I never owned the first soul cal, So i always played it in arcades. Now people think im crazy when i use a stick with this game but i cant help it ive played this series so much in arcades (skipped 3 since it was not). I finaly got 2 on gamecube and even then i couldnt for lack of stick. And as for 4 i loved soul calibur 4, however i started to nic-pic it and fell off. And all i gotta say for this one is - Perfect. Thank you Namco, cant wait for tekken tag now.

  • Just tried out 5, buying it. Great to see Max doing vids about this too :P

  • Star Gladiator!.........;p

    

  • lol, air control has been in since II at least (never played I).

    And this stuff is in the manual, bro. Check 'em out.

  • soul calibur 1 and 2 were my greatest loves in the series, so much unlike any other fighter and so easy to pick up, didn't touch 3, and i played 4 for a long time and i loved the character creation more than anything else especially to make characters with styles i liked but hated the characters themselves e.g. talim. 5 looks to be the best of the originals with the creation of 4 so i'm excited!

  • I loved SC2 so much, I played it on all consoles and everything. Learned Heihachi Spawn and Link. That was one of my favorite fighting games. I never played it again after that though until this one lol.

  • Im like 103 in the rank, fucking love sc5 online, sc4 was good but the 5 is way better

  • Make Doom with the soul of Devil Jin; so you can use the lasers!! XD

  • I havent played an SC game since SC2

  • I would really appreciate you explaining Guard Impacting and Soul Gauge. I main Tira and she has my favorite move called Grim Reaper, it's a GI and I don't know how to do that :/

  • My God, 80% of the comments are how to pronounce Ukemi....*facepalm*

    I noticed when you got a clean hit after a counter off of Mr. Sushi X's Maxi it took away a meter.

  • 7. Customizing - This is where I'm concerned because SC3 was awesome with it. Then SCIV removed somethings and now SCV is back with a "better" engine for it. I don't know if it is just me but I'm at 80% with collecting the items and it just looks like there is next to nothing when it comes to costumes this time around. Oh - and you can't make your own assassin. WTH? :(

    Other than that the game is awesome. The online is so freakin' smooth and some of the battles are just insane fun!!

  • @TheHellsingHQ thats a "few" problems allright

  • @ArthasXfrost Sorry if it felt like I was ranting. Didn't mean to. ;p I just figured I would share my experience with SCV and to get feedback from other SCV players. What better place than Max's channel. :)

  • (I.E. Someone small and fast can dish out damage that of Astaroth or Nightmare)

    5. *Spoiler* Three of the six unlockable characters are Edge Masters. (The only difference with them is their Critical Edge. There is no reason that three EM should be in this game.)

    6. Story Mode - I will admit the voice acting has gotten better for English for the story, but it doesn't feel like a story mode. The CG movies, which little we have received, are just stunning. But there is really nothing to it.

  • SCV is a very beautiful game and I enjoy it a lot....but there are a few problems that I have with it and was wondering how others have felt about it.

    1. Parrying has been removed.

    2. Guard Impact now takes meter. (Not that big of a deal because it doesn't take much.)

    3. The "new" characters (not counting Viola and Z.W.E.I.) are just the old ones with a new skin and voice.

    4. It feels that none of the characters have a damage output balance.

  • Max plays Maxi? NAWWWWWWWWW

  • Algol makes a better Iron Man than Nightmare set character >m<

  • id love to see u make your own character

  • I played SC2 for about 10 minutes, other than that - NO SOUL CALIBUR for me. Definitely bought this one after all I've seen/read.

    Game is so pretty haha

  • Max do you believe in "Ring Outs"?

  • What i'm most upset about is there are no more A+K moves and ivy as well as a few other people have no more stances.

  • DAT SHADALOO SIEGFRIED! Maximilian, you have outdone yourself, sir.

  • 1:15 RAPE!

  • im mad he played that bgm from SC2 <3

  • started out on soul calibur 2 for ps2 with nightmare being my go to character then moved into three but didnt play alot of it to have a good character then i got four and found i was best with kilik style and zasalamel and found that i stuck with a staff fighting style in 5 and a secondary in lexia or however her names spelledbut i was mainly familiar with two and four

  • Damn Max! Compared to your last videos you've improved massively :)

    I entered the SC series back in SC2, but I actually never really got into it. SC3 had TONS of single-player content and was actually the entry that really got me into SC, when SC4 came out and I finally got a PS3, I was sorely disappointed. Everything was soooo much slower and sluggish. It felt terrible. It felt like the game was trying to keep up with me instead of the other way round.

    But,SCV looks brilliant! Can. Not. Wait.

  • Loving how you're using Siegfreid man. He's been my boy since the 1st one(I didn't like how they had him on Soul Edge).

  • thanks for the help max I just have to get this game

  • My experience with the Soul Calibur games is limited to renting them and having more fun customizing silly characters than actually learning how to fight. It's just not my kind of game, even though I am enjoying watching the videos of others play it right now- I have no urge to buy it, personally. The customization is about the only thing tempting me and it makes me excited in knowing that Capcom wants more customization in their future games, the ones I do like to play.

  • 11:20 In Soviet Russia, game rage-quits YOU!
