So supposedly the series went downhill since SCII but what's wrong with SCIV? It has nice character customization, they didn't remove characters for no reason like in SCV, and looks good especially for its age. I haven't got very deep into it I don't find anything particularly wrong with the gameplay either.

>what's wrong with SCIV?

terrible balance mechanics
>>
>>381768989
Elaborate. Do you mean some characters are OP? Who are? Or who are underpowered?
>>
They got worse in terms of content, in my opinion. There hasn't really been anything as interesting as weapon master mode in 2 or the little strategy game 3 had that added all the custom character jobs. 4 also has probably the shallowest character creator and I believe it removed all the weapon effects the previous games had, which was a real bummer for me because I loved unlocking crazy weapons.

>I believe it removed all the weapon effects the previous games had, which was a real bummer for me because I loved unlocking crazy weapons.

I don't know if by "weapon effects" you mean something more specific but different weapons and different clothes have different stats in some modes but there's also modes where they don't affect statistics if you want to go purely for the aesthetics.

>Soul Blade/Edge
Lots of stupid shit but was overall a pretty good game, a nice start to the series.

>Soul Calibur
Fantastic game, fixed many of the problems with the first game and refined and expanded on many mechanics, looked absolutely amazing for its time.

>Soul Calibur 2
Horribly dumbed down version of SC1, focus on a "wider audience" gameplay depth was removed in favor of adding guest characters as a selling point, many bugs such as Gstep and 2G make this already painfully slow game even worse.

>Soul Calibur 3
HORRIBLE game received zero testing has even more bugs than SC2, completely unplayable mess. the
>Arcade Edition
fixes most of these bugs and adds new characters.

>Soul Calibur 4
Fixed various problems with the series but added a retarded physics engine that had no place in a fighting game, this led to many infinite juggles and instant ring out combos.

>Soul Calibur 5
By far the best game in the series, goes back to its SC1 roots, ads depth and solid mechanics over stupid minigames, expands on many of the original mechanics, overall a great game.

SCIV tried to make SC into a ghetto Tekken by over complicating the game. It also had some bad redesigns and starwars?
SCV is barely a SC game. The two defining features of SC are 8way run and Guard Impact (GI). In SC5, moving in 8way run put you into counter hit state which encouraged linear movement. Then the GI was changed to require meter for unfathomable reasons. And on top of that, they threw out like half the cast and replaced them with younger clones who no one gave a shit about because they were barely used in the story.

SC2 and 3 were the best! Muh Talim! Muh Link!

Everything after SC2 was garbage. We need a new Soulcalibur, but it needs to retain the mechanics that once made it good!

>how to spot a competent human being and someone who actually understands the series on a competitive level

I understand the flaws of Soulcalibur 5. The story mode was vastly underwhelming and some people may not like the inclusion of meter or the exclusion of characters or the unsafe movement. However, I do understand that it is one of the most balanced fighting games of all time and from a competitive standpoint the highlight of the series. Because of the quality of scv, I am very excited for the future of the series and can only hope they don't cave in to the rabid, clueless rants by the aforementioned parties and make a 50 roster snorefest with step G that inevitably has balance like a stone and a feather.

SC5 would be the best if it had the roster, and I honestly feel a super meter has no place in Soul Calibur. The lack of tonfas, scythe and a regular punching style (we couldn't get two Tekken styles?) limits what would otherwise be the perfect create a soul system. Cutting down movesets was smart, but not every moveset was cut down well. Raphael just doesn't feel right anymore, and that monkeyboy changes the staff style into being for jackasses. I'd have loved to see something closer to Kilik's actual style in the game.

It also shows how rushed the game was with that lack of single player content. One really bad story mode, focused on the worst characters ever (seriously, fuck these kids) and no arcade endings for anyone. Even a single picture with some text could have been an arcade ending, but no. You don't get to know shit about Zwei and Viola unless you look that shit up yourself online. And no one better pass off the bullshit lie that "fighting games don't need single player content!" because Soul Calibur in particular has excelled at single player content for the entire series. If SCV had another 6 months of development, it might have been really, really amazing. Still okay, but it just doesn't make people want to play it.
>>
I actually liked 3 quite a lot as far as a character creator went. The other games dropped the ball pretty hard on this in my opinion.

>But you can only use movesets from preexisting characters

V also felt like it was rushed out the door, especially considering the story mode. Actual fighting was pretty solid save Ezio being a massive fucking faggot (but a great guest choice).

>All these people claiming III isn't the best because of glitches and bugs

Spotted the fags who've never played competitive SCIII. You retards DO know that a majority of them disqualified you in a match if they were purposely executed, right? It was the exact same case with Street Fighter Alpha 3 and it's V-ism ban.

Of course knowing that means you had to have been over 8 years old at the time, which is highly unlikely given the nonsense you're spouting. Form your own opinion instead of piggybacking off what you heard some moron say on /v/ a couple years ago.
>>
>>381791623

>go look up variable cancel glitch on 8WR

Let me ask you something. Why would I want to execute a glitch/bug mid-game in SCIII, rather than avoid the risk? Where's the logic in that? Also, great job in not watching the videos by the way; where no glitches occur.

The issues people have with this game is focused on the glitches, yet as I've shown before in those videos, not everybody experiences them. Also, instigating bugs or other glitches isn't a demonstration of skill in fighting games, but wasting time (rather ultilizing the unique combos of the characters movesets). The real issue people have such resentment with SCIII is because SCIII was a exclusive title on the PS2; unlike SCII which was on the Xbox, PS2 and GameCube.

That's understandable. Luckily, I've never had the misfortune of that happening to me in SCIII since Chronicles of the Sword was so good.

Not always.

>Character customization only goes so far
>what is hardware limitations

If SCIII was a Xbox or GameCube exclusive (since they're the more powerful consoles in comparison to the PS2) there would've been an opportunity for more content.

>High level players do not care about SC3, only the arcade edition if they even acknowledge it in the first place

That's because they would rather focus on other fighting-game series (i.e like Street Fighter, Tekken or KOF) to give SCIII the dedication it requires to learn the basic mechanics.

>>381768709
God I hate SC2 fags with their 'muh balance'. Who cares about balance in a SC game. It's the game you put on when you throw a pre-party at your place with a bunch of normies so they can mash the controller and do crazy attacks. Hence why SC3 is the best (after SC1) because it was just ridiculously over the top, broken and fun.
>>
>>381811935
You retarded nostalgiafag. The pasta literally says stepguard and 2g. I know it was fun playing with your friends when they'd sleepover, but that game was shit if you ever played anyone who knew about those things. And, since you're probably a casual faggot that doesn't know what those are, they are not hard at all and requires no execution, it just slowed the game to shit.
>>
>>381801345

>it's just not hard to replicate bugs or get hit with it blindly
>sometimes

I can understand the animosity and frustration if this happens by chance in-game, but intentionally replicating the glitches and then saying SCIII is a ""bad game"" is paradoxical (like other people ITT have tried to suggest); since it's the player deliberately creating the situations and issues rather than the game.

>High level Soul Calibur players got away from 3 as quickly as they could when the opportunity presented itself

It's more to do with popularity. Other tournament games like Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and Dead or Alive 4 were more prominent/dominant in 2005. The Soul Calibur franchise in comparison could never compete.
>>
>>381813116
Could you be anymore of a casual
>>
>>381812339
So what you're saying is you never once played the games competitively to see the horribly broken bullshit in SC1 like safe on block launchers or that competitive SC2 isn't slow at all because GI baiting is real as fuck and damage is crazy. Good to know.
>>
>>381814707
>GI baiting is real
new meme? go watch the combobreaker top 8 just a month ago and show me the GI baiting. its not there you casual faggot. you probably agree with aris about somehow attack cancels being removed in 5 is a bad thing despite them never being fucking used in any meaningful way

dont talk about shit you know nothing of kiddo
>>
>>381812339
Step-G and 2G were literally okay. Step-G is what made the game more defensive since movement was safe. 2G just made post-GI game into a mid/low mixup for the GI'er.

Also,
>>381770297
>many bugs [...] make this already painfully slow game
Nah, movement was fast in SC2. If anything, it's SC4 that's slow as shit with more startup and recovery frames on movesets to compensate with online input lag. And moving in SC4 was like moving through mud.
>>
>>381815189
How about you go through that footage and show me GI or stepguard or 2G being a huge problem. Also, how about you explain how movement counters in 5 are a good thing and somehow don't make the game more turtle heavy because people don't want to fucking move and get counter hit for walking.

>More importantly some characters were removed without getting a clone replacement at all.

They were replacing characters firstly because they wanted to have new faces, but also because the timeline was aging some characters past the point of believability, so their movesets were given to successors. They didn't get much development (and some weren't replaced) because Scamco slashed SCV's budget and shortened their deadline.

There was a ton of cool stuff the director wanted to do but simply didn't have the time for. We got a game that was like maybe 80% finished at best.

SCV was mechanically good, but it killed a lot of the hype by faking a reboot by gutting most of the cast, only to replace them with characters that were just cheap imitations of the old characters instead of actual new characters. So it got rid of the old faces in favor of new shit, except the new shit didn't even feel like new shit because they just borrowed the old move styles.

MKX, on the other hand, did a much better job at introducing a new generation of characters.
Patroklos was aight too.

turn based does not equal the same as a fighting game

there is a reason why that Ezio is the most fit guest character to ever appear in SC being that Ezio's own time is only decades


the BEST fucking recent character to fit the guest slot for Soul calibur is WILLIAM ADAMS

his combos arent too big, but his movesets have a lot of key moves that can easily transition into soul calibur

not to mention WILLIAM is currently alive in the same fucking YEARS as soul calibur that by the time of SCV he could be fucking around in europ dealing with the soul swords

They're only bad because they overcame the odds without much effort or problems on their part.

The new faces got pushed way too fucking hard in their first appearance which is why the fanbase is divided on them. Sure they didn't out-right suck [everyone save for Cassie was wooden as shit] but they accomplished too much too fast.

Lets all be honest with ourselves here, Soul Caliber is great because its the most casual fighter series out there and its filled to the brim with tasty wifus and husbandos. Thats all it is. Cheap and easy fun with some t'n'a thrown in the mix. If you play SC seriously you're just a tryhard faggot. Go play a real fighter like SF or VF.

Oh and SCIII is the objectively best game in the franchise.

SC1 was my first game into the series, never got it for my Dreamcast but I did have a lot of sleepovers playing it with my bros who did get it

SC2 was my favorite game of the series. I loved the roster and was pleased with pretty much every character except Necrid. (I had ps2 version) having Heihachi was cool, he didn't seem particularly op, maybe a little weak but it was fine as a guest character, that's how they should be imo. Weapon Master mode = best quest mode in any fighting game, except for maybe Fighters Destiny. On a side note, arcade Conquest mode was the absolute shit, never seen so many players hyped the fuck up to play it at where I lived. Obtaining Edgemaster of the Phoenix rank was a claim to fame for me, when so many players were trying to ruin my winrate

SC3 was alright but I didn't spend near as much time playing it as I did on 2. Didn't like roster as much, game felt stiff compared to 2. The quest mode was cool as shit but I didn't do more than one playthrough because game mechanics seemed worse than 2 for some reason. Dropped the series after that

You seem to be fixated on the idea if combos "fit" into the game.Every move and combo for a character regardless who the guest character is, would have to have his/her movelist build from scratch.Dante has some potentially crazy combos but he doesn't have "signature combos" he has signature moves like Prop Shredder which could easily be in the game.

The most well remembered guest character was Link regardless if he fit or his lack of combos and moves fit from his original game.

Really bad character balance, particularly Hilde. She ended up being banned from most tournaments. Also talim sucked ;_;

SCV would have been 100% better if they had axed CaS and invested time in other things. I'd rather have a fully functional fighting engine which SCV had and single player content that people clamor for, than have that CaS which honestly adds nothing meaningful to the game.

SCV is the best balanced of the series despite Viola being in the game.

Why do people hate SC3?
I remember that being my favorite fighting game until I completely skipped fighting games in the 7th generation. It had an RPG mode that was really cool that I want to go back to, and I remember there being a lot of customization. I remember some of the combos looking very cool and doing tons of damage. Who gives a shit about bugs? Grow the fuck up. One of my favorite games is Dead Island and its because of the bugs. Bugs in video games are what make them unique. RRX in Halo 2. Falling through the floor. Animations cancelling. Would you rather go back to the era of finished fucking games with expansions, or would you rather play unfinished dogshit that has the gall to cover up all of the map geometry with "return to game area" timers?

SC has never taken even a fifth of the skill Tekken takes amigo. Just accept the fact that it's a casual party game.

How much gameplay discussion has there been on this thread? all I see is Taki fans and Natsu fans shitting up the thread.

Tekken literally takes more skill than any other fighter and that's a fact. The only fighting game that has ever rivaled it has been guilty gear accent core plus r, which takes the most skill of any 2D fighting game by far.

This. I want a time travel story that acts as a soft reboot into the era of Soul Edge while bringing in characters from later in the series, ala MK9.

Siegfried can be the Raiden and travel back to try and change events but fuck everything up in a really entertaining way.

He'd better not mean Gigas, he's my main man in 7. It's a shame he's not more popular.

fights are literally only their gameplay at the end of the day. technically costume design is an entire gimmick in and of itself. there are better games for waifu simulators.

Mitsurugi is played because he's decent and also simple as shit. He's the Ryu/Ken of the game all rolled up in one. Also, other than his EX 2KB, he's the most honest character in the game by far. If you are losing to mitsu, you're a fucking gigantic scrub and should be complaining about dp motions in 2D fighters instead of latching on to Tekken (lmao) to legitimize your shitpost.
>>
>>381847079
>tekkencucks actually believe this
lmao tekken isnt even the most technical 3d fightan
>>
why is it that only blacks and poor people like fighting games
>>
>>381847378
Never once did I mention I had a problem with him, I was stating a fact that 99% of people played him online. I was a voldo main since SC1.
Sorry I hurt your feelings though friend. Maybe next time you won't try to invest your time into a dead franchise and you can play a thriving one that also takes more skill.
>>
>>381847245
I like Gigas but he needs lotion

Tfw UNI isn't popular

Arcades. This is also why the FGC has the "culture" it has. Incidentally, this is why the melee scene exists. Lots of people think Smash is just autism, and while this is true, it doesn't paint the whole picture. Smash is dominated by suburban white boys and euros who, quite literally, could not handle the bantz in arcades.
>>
>>381847487
Inner cities are the only places that had the population density that allowed arcades and fighting game scenes to thrive back in the day.

>>381847079
Damn man you forgot to dicksuck Virtua Fighter. Good effort, though, you almost looked like you knew what you were talking about for a second there. Never dicksuck GG without dicksucking Virtua Fighter first, too. It makes you look like a poser. Keep trying, kiddo.
>>
>>381847590
dont worry kiddo, just keep practicing and you will be able to block that 1a one of these days! hell, with enough training, you might even be able to tj it and punish!
>>
>>381847727
Why bother mentioning a dead game? I was never a fan of VF regardless though.

>>381847590
Oh, so you aren't a scrub claiming the predictable ryu character is OP, you are a mentally ill retard that thinks a character being too popular means the game is unbalanced. Gotcha. And, my condolences.
>>
>>381847245
I like Marduk more. Gigas is cool but I'm tired of fuckers saying "just play Gigas" when he literally has like five of Marduk's moves.
>>
>>381847654
Even pro UNIEL players say the game is one of the easier fighters.
>>
>>381848121
That's a good thing though, I just picked up UNIEL and the thing I noticed immediately is how intuitive the game is.
>>
>>381848117
I never really played Marduk, but it's a shame he got removed. I think Gigas is a lot more interesting in terms of design and fighting style though.

You know what else is surprisingly really balanced? Pokken. All but 3 characters are evenly split between the top 2 tiers, and the gap between each of the tiers is tiny, and even those 3 characters are viable at high level play.

It's a shame that the game has so much bullshit going around it that's not even it's own fault. Demographically, the every type of person who would have been the target audience are all put off being none of them feel like it caters to them due to dumb reasons , the lack of post launch support turned even more people off, as did the shit evo showing that happened too soon after the game came out, etc.
>>
>>381848793
that may be nintendo's own fault

maybe the switch version will actually update
>>
>>381849373
I mean, the switch version will have all the content the wiiu version didn't get from the arcades, so there's nothing to update it with now, it's the complete version

Skelemitsu is good. I'm really partial to the mummy-samurai version, though.
>>
>>381852878
I absolutely adore the false seppuku and the reversed variant.
Fakeouts are always the best in fighting games. Mindgames are too much fun.
>>
>>381853168
Does Yoshimitsu in Tekken have the same style as the Yoshimitsu in Soulcalibur? SC is the only fighting game I've ever played and I wanted to try other ones.
