Oh yeah, if anyone wants to fight me when I'm at my friend's place, my Gamertag is Scorccio. I need some buddies anyway. :(

Just throw a PM my way if you're adding me.

Actually, you are very mistaken. The whole Soul Crush system makes it even more of a combo based game then ever before. Add that to the guaranteed damage off of wall splats and this game is looking more and more like Tekken with weapons.

Speaking of which, has anyone ever pulled one of those Soul Crush attacks off? I can never get it to work at all. :confused:

I must be having a hard time then, I haven't played this enough to actually practice any of those soul crush moves, That was my mistake.

Can someone tell me why they had to change all of the commands in Soul Calibur III. Naturally, they maintained the horrible command lists for SCIV.

But aside from that, SCIV isn't a fuck-up like II and III. I actually like what they've done with Mitsurugi...some insane shit is coming out of Mist and Relic stance.

I'd want to play online, but it looks like everyone bought the awful 360 version.

If its any conolsation Megalith, I will be buying the ps3 version lol.

I havent played SCIV, nor have I played SCIII, but from what i've seen and heard about IV, its gonna be a fun game like I and II.

When someone's health bar is flashing red, you gotta keep beating on them until a piece of armor explodes and they stagger back and have some electricity around them. The moment that happens, you have to press LB. Pretty sure it's L1 on the PS3 controller. The majority of them are typical auto combo stupidity, but my personal favorites are Astaroth's and Maxi's.

I am some what happy that my main characters who have been in the game since SC1 has many of the same moves, it seems just as I perfect one character another Soul Calibur gets released!!!!

Since when? Soul Calibur and Soul Blade before it were all about combos. The only way to land a hit on someone who knows what they're doing is to vary the height of the third or fourth move in a combo so they block wrong. Standing big hits are strictly for when someone doesn't know how to recover from a grounding properly. Or at least that's how all the older games worked, I've not played this one yet.

So I went to my friend's house last night and tried this out. I can finally pull of Soul Crushes. :3

Voldo's is pretty sick.

Just wondering if anyone else has the PS3 version? Thought we could have a bout or two when there's a chance. Kinda looking forward to seeing the CaS you guys made. (I have mine in me gurnal, 3 screens)

Quite sure I've unlocked all CaS parts too, got me 31 honors already.

Another thing to point out, Taki, is broken. Nobody but a handful in the PS3 community could beat me. Handful as in 2 out of the near hundred fights I fought. The other loses in my stats are from my Nightmare bouts.

Nope, got the 360 version over here. Not sure when I'll fire it up though, kind of wanted to get back into Race Driver: GRID first. Hmmm.

Anyone had trouble getting the update on the PS3 version? Mine always stalls out at 6% or lower. Any troubleshooting fixes?

I've got the 360 Premium Edition, and I've been impressed with the game so far. A little sluggish compared to SC3, and they nerfed Taki pretty hard, but all in all that's alright. Just forced me to go back and relearn Mitsurugi from when I used him back in my Soul Blade/Calibur 1 days.

I landed in the top 100 on the arcade leaderboard for a while, with a score of 520000 using Mitsurugi. I think I was in the 40s when I first got it, then 56 yesterday, and probably somewhere in the 60s today.

Getting close to dealing with the achievements, but that Tower of Souls shit is HARD no matter what unless you fuck around with skills and creation to give yourself an edge.

I do, although when I tried earlier to have a quick match or host a game it said my connection timed out, even though I was still connected to Playstation Network somehow :/

Character creation is still making me laugh a lot since I'm making alternates for characters that have bright afros when the head armour piece is destroyed, as well as questionable underwear. One minor and moot point is how it seems you can't change the weapon colours. I stuck Tofana Scissors onto my Broccoli man, but they had to be grey to my dismay.

So apparently the new downloadable content for the game...well, it's not new content at all, it's simply a code to unlock what you have already purchased. The new content is already on your disk and the code simply lets you use it. Gotta like a company that is becoming an online whore. It's the beginning of the end for DLC...I hope that people will be smart and not support Namco's money-grabbing tactics.

That is nothing new, that's been going on for at least a year or so. The only difference now I suppose is that there are more and more people starting to notice it.

So after playing a few games online, is it just me or should Yoda be banned from ranked games? So tired of these cheap cunts using a character that can't be grappled and has most attacks miss.

When you saw that there was DLC available 3 days after the game came out, did you actually expect it to be brand new content?

I did expect DLC to actually be new content, yes, not paying for content that is already there on the disk I bought, I'm just not allowed to "use"it unless I give them more money.

That is kinda sad actually. Reminds me of Phantasy Star Universe's version of update patches.

The one thing that kinda bummed be about this game was that there isn't a survival mode.

Overall though this game is really fun.

That's a valid complaint, but a well-worn one.

That doesn't imply that it's the end of DLC, though. The amount of shit companies have gotten for pulling this is staggering, and there's still plenty of actual DOWNLOADS out there.

Just restart your PS3 if that happens. And then prepare for "game session is full/can't connect" a couple of time in between every successful match up. Anyways add me on your PSN, we should go for some non-ranked matches. Your PSN is Summonmaster too?

@OP: Aww man, I was looking forward for a match with you. Any chance of getting the PS3 version too? =PP

@SouthJag: Just download the system update with the PC and transfer it to the PS3 with a thumbdrive.

Anyways, if anyone else has the PS3 version, let me know, we should have a friendly match ;D

who want make Kratos in SC4:

Want Kratos in SCIV? Then make him, here's how - PS3 Fanboy
