Soul Calibur 3

This thread is a little funny, anyone that knows more than the average player in the SC community knows that DTN (Dan the Knight) from france, and a few others from the US, used Nightmare as their mains, Im not counting no name players. Xianghua definitely was the cheapest in 2, even more so in 3 with that cancel she got; and to Elixir who said that sc2 was broke, your way wrong on that one, that game was one of the most balanced fighting games out there. Almost anyone in that game had a fighting chance, with the exception of Yunsung and Raphael. Nightmare is a pretty solid character, but you definetly got to work for it against good ppl. NM's 3B is what made him good though. The top 2 ppl in sc2 were Mick and RTD Mick used Cass and X, while RTD used X mostly. Klonoa, in sc2 nationals an Ivy player won it. And there were about 5 ppl who used NM in that tournament. Almost all the charcaters were used; and no, guard impact does not play a big role in top level play, way too unsafe to do. SC3 nats is coming up in chicago on july 9.

How ya doing, buddy?

Yep thats true. But that just shows what top level play is like, and like i said 3b is what made NM good. NM still wasnt the best in that game though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I cant say how wrong you are when you say 3 is more balanced than 2. Everything i said in my previous post is true. X and sophie are definitely top 2 and really hard to beat in the right hands. I would like to hear these 'top tourney' players you speak of though, because if they are top, i would know who your talking about. Id also lke to hear NM's good moves. I believe they would be, 3b, 2k, 6a, 8wr a+k, 22/88 AA. I believe thats all that needs to be used, what am i missing Klonoa? On another note, im in SC3 nationals, and all the main/known players are on sc.com.

edit: You live in europe, unless you played DTN or Kayane, there really were no good players around there.
That also means you have the PAL version of sc3 which is more balanced, Sophie is still top though. X dont have the 66A+B cancel, but still up there. Unlike sc2 though, there is about 10 characters that can be used in top play other than 2 or 3.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well obviously you guys dont know enough about the community, so some of the statements you guys are making are just wrong. Such as long range charcaters taking no skill. Range plays a small role in SC. I guess i cant convinve you that 2 is way more balanced than 3. Talim, Yoshi and Voldo are easily in the useable characters. If you guys would only play good ppl you would know. And why is sc.com full of shit? Thats all the proof of what im saying right here. Thats an international board, with the best players on it. On a side note, SooMighty is one of the best mvc2 players, so that would take alot of skill to win on a pad. Unless it was a tournament w/ no name ppl.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I was talkin about sc.com, not shoryuken, shoryuken is for 2d fighters mostly. And way to completely mix up what i said elixir. I never said that since sc is in tournaments its not broken. Klonoa, in case you didnt know, the USA have the best players for SC, one reason because they travel for it. So if your friend would come to the states and play, would be a different story for him. Back in 2004, there was a world tourney in France, ppl from all over went, they had the 5 best from usa, france, belgium, canada, and a few other countries. USA dominated everyone except a few ppl from the france team. In the end team usa won it. One of the players who went from usa lives about 15 minutes away from me. So I think id know a little more than you guys. Especially since you dont pay attention to the community. Also what is this glitch move you speak of w/ soph? If your talkin about 11AA, the fast unblockable, thats far from glitchy.

I was speaking idiomatically.

haha, you think that unblockable is so bad its bannable, and they actually ban it in tourneys over there? Damn, that says alot about the players there. They cant see a low move and block it on reaction i guess. That proves right there how bad they are.

Maybe he has earned more money than me in games than i have, im still confident i could destroy him in it. NM isnt all that great. And no, tourney play doesnt even use VC all that much. If theres gamebreaking glitches in sc3, id sure like to hear them.

Plus you think Marvel has more useable charcacters than sc2? Damn, you just really dont know anything about the game it seems. Marvel has 4 main characters to play with, plus good assists. All others are crap. Sc2 got at least 10 characters goin for them for top play. But you dont even know about that and you claim that im wrong when im not. You can say im wrong, but I know im right because unlike you im part of the SC community, and care about it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

haha, im supposed to believe that? Why wasnt he in the big tournament in 2004 then? Plus they ban an unblockable that you guys think is cheap, thats proof right there that you guys arent that good. You can say otherwise, but I know what im talking about.

Marvel has 4 overpowered chars, but others are still mildly usable. SC2 had 3 usable chars. Peroid.

LOL, just stop. Your just not making any sense anymore. 3 characters usable....maybe over there, where players arent good enough to win with others. At least 8 that can win in high play. I dont see how you can say Talim, Mitsurugi, Voldo, Yoshi, and a couple others arent capable of winning. It boggles my mind really. If you dont know about high play, dont talk about it please.

edit- Your a girl? And you said you could beat me if you learned the game? Sorry but girls dont have the mentality to be really good at fighting games. Dont say otherwise or make excuses, theres not 1 top player in a competitive fighting game thats a girl.

Ok, I assumed wrong, your a guy. Im bi too actually.

Ive only travelled to a few big ones that had 1k payouts. I only play that and halo1 competitively, a shame h2 sucks. And won a few of them, some got 3rd or 4th. But i didnt really have to travel for competition because I got some of the best comp a few miles away. Stant might be superior than me being known, but i still say id be a better player than he is at it. If he would play NTSC sc3, he'd see that X is the best in it, because she has all the good stuff, while most other characters in that game have nothing. Arbital might know more about the sc community that goes down over there, but not the sc community as a whole and what goes on in it. I dont play guilty gear, but theres a pretty big guilty gear scene here, and some really good players too.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I didnt mean to offend anyone with that statement, its true though, when i meant by good is tournament play. I pay attention to mostly all fighting game scenes, and all of them dont have 1 girl in it. I personally think because it doesnt interest them enough to play it alot or some other reasons.

SC2 and Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection are fairly balanced. Theres still a some characters who are better than others. A completely balanced fighting game dont exist though.

How ya doing, buddy?

Chun_li and Yun are the powerhouses that win in that game as of now. Ken is top tier but hes winning less and less tournaments than he did previously.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
