[Multiplatform] Boobs and... Lightsabers - Soul Calibur 4

I have been in a cave when it comes to this game. I honestly thought it was being released this fall so when i heard of the release I was a bit surprised ^^
I I loved SC and the xbox version of SCII (go spawnage =0 ). SCIII not so great and I had heard rumors before hand that Dante (devil may cry) would have been a guest but it was just a rumor and a bit disappointed that it wasn't to be.
I'll see if I just sell my gamecube and get this game for my ps3 soon before everyone decides that they get too bored of it but hopefully it'll be fun enough to finally be a good fighting game that's enjoyable online

Jam it back in, in the dark.

you must have looked in the playstation network and saw that it still says 2.41 but 2.42 is definitely up for download
PlayStation.com

Seems when it first came out people were experiencing different speeds when downloading including myself when I kept on getting disconnected but it should be a quick download from the site

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah I had no problems with not having achievements in ps3 games but once they announced the trophy's I was pretty damn interested but sony promises and doesn't deliver. Well it is up to the developers I guess but still sony screwed up big with firmware 2.41
Only game that I know that supports trophies is Stardust, I would have thought that newer games would have implemented it by now but it's pretty much a failure so far, as well as the in game XMB.
Still I'll be getting soul calibur for ps3 tomorrow so if anyone is interested in online play then up for a few quick matches.

So I got my ps3 version of the game and I have to say that i have totally gone nerd on the force attacks from darth vader and I don't even like star wars.
And megalith, I thought you were just being critical about some of the characters but when I actually saw the "Anime" characters, I knew what you were talking about ~_~

I also decided not to install right away just to see the difference (well more like I didn't have 1gb of free space on my ps3, so much for 80gb)

way I saw the loading times in story mode Without the install,
Vs 1 = 5 seconds
vs 2 = 10 sec
vs 3 or 4 = 25-30 sec

With the install
Vs 1 = Immidiate (sometimes 2 sec)
Vs 2 = 3 sec
vs 3 or 4 = 7 to 10 sec

Rough estimate but yeah a slight difference to get your game on.


Haven't tried out create a character yet since I sorta missed the middle Icon but the few ps3 users here who want to play online hit me up. PSN AniZeke

How ya doing, buddy?

The story is mode is just pathetic. I'm just skipping through the opening stories for each character because it sounds like a really bad fanfic and the ending sequences are just really lame anyways that I just don't care about the story.
I went through arcade mode as darth vader to get the apprentice. When I fought the apprentice I just side stepped until he created an opening for himself since he tends to do that a lot. And the pattern Triangle, Triangle, Counter attack was also seemed to help.

The honors I can understand getting if you just play the game and play good. I can even understand the honor in unlocking all the art since it goes towards the completion of unlocking everything.
What I can't understand is why they made this an honor.
"The Last two numbers of total play time and remaining time in a victorious battle were the same."

wtf

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah I got that damn honor on a whim. I think We all agree that honors are basically useless other than bragging rights but that particular one is incredibly stupid.

Also I went online and I had so many laggy hiccups but I think it was mostly me. I sucked anyways ~_~
I also tried to create a new character and some of the bonus characters are so fun to play with that i wanted one of those styles but they were completely locked to those characters. As well as the jedi styles which would have been fun too.
EDIT:
Oh and the ending for the bonus characters were actually more entertaining than the main characters even without actual animation. It's sad that they couldn't put more quality into story mode.

omg what =0
With both our connection combined I actually experience delay lag instead of the "communications" lag ^^
So when i was spamming one move (A+B) the delay wouldn't let me spam my other moves (hard down+AB) ~_~

I actually got a few awards with you.
Fought against darth, Break Armor, win with broken armor, double KO. Although I think you were going easy on me o-o

glad my mic didn't make us disconnect continuously and also that it works @_@
I'll try to have more than one created character next time >_>

FELIPE NO

Like I said before, my connection varies from awesome to suckage so it was kinda both of us on the delay. Like earlier I was playing perfect and then later in the day I kept getting the damn "communication" signal. I wanted to invite Miles since I saw him online but I don't think he would have enjoyed it as much since we were laggy for the both of us ^^
Still we had some fun matches, not so much in our first when I tried to spear you with the two swords and threw myself out the damn ring ~_~

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

360 or ps3?
I'm on ps3 and it happened to me all the time as well. Way I see it you gatta be fast to get into those rooms becuase 4 spots isn't enough to stay open for long. But then again when I try to Create a match it takes a good minute for anyone to join. Much easier if you just have buds online.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

i saw some goofy characters online, i especially laughed when I broke someones helmet to reveal a huge afro.
I tried creating a character and the default costume turned out like the witch from soul eater like this,

Spoiler:

Then I got the idea to create a few more characters from that anime despite having minimal gear that i unlocked through story mode.

Black star who came out....well not so great but a little close ~_~

Spoiler:

And maka

where have you been >_>

I played with CobaltKatze yesterday. it wasn't so bad considering my connection, it was less than a second of lag. i was even able to pull off some darth vader counters and made him earn his victory. Still he totally owned me ~_~
his characters were interesting as well. The joker, harley quinn, someone from no more heroes whom I didn't recognize.
I decided to create more characters after that since my roster was pathetic. Then I jumped online and I've come to hate azaroth people. Then again I haven't come to try and master more than 3 characters.

Oh and the 11th floor totally pissed me off until i found out how to easily cheat with Taki.

Most amazing jew boots

sometimes i just forget that he's there but he is an awesome fighter. You can especially get accustomed to him rather quickly if you were already used to him in Tekken. It kinda sucks that some basic movements like the side twirl take some of his blood.

Most amazing jew boots

I made quite a few as well. I put that big cat suit on a character to try to pass it off as a kupo like yuna wore in FFX-2. When you break the armor it reveals yuna with something similar to the dancer dresssphere.
Also made Zoro from one piece, Claire from Claymore, tried to make zabuza and haku. Also made trunks and gave him Amy's style in swords so he looks pretty damn gay so it fits him perfectly. Oh and my newest one, princess peach. Only characters I copied were trunks and peach I tried to make the rest something not many people would make since I'm tired of seeing ken's and snakes all over the place
Oh and the biggest flaw of trying to make guest characters is that they're stats will really suck if your trying to be precise so they're almost always better off in standard matches

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well for the ps3 I think all you need to do is log into their account and view their download history to download it yourself. Although scarlet should know more about that psh >_>

Anyway new update on the game 1.02. Probably online stability. I hope they incorporate being able to chat while actually playing instead of being cut off right after the versus screen.

Additional Spam:
Ok so I have a question.
Tower of Souls floor 24, 240 point combo damage.

How da fruck?

EDIT: nevermind I found a trick with yoshimitsu which made it incredibly easy

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm specifically avoiding ranked matches because of the people who go around and to the same combo over and over again. In unranked matches I just find people practicing with how good they are with a certain character, practicing how to spam moves, or just looking for a match to show off their created characters.
I'll most probably spam kilik once I do go for ranked matches, I'll just wait to see if the other player picks astharoth.
But yeah as scarlet said, it's mostly fun with friends because we can just fuck around and not take it all that seriously.

FELIPE NO

I've been able to pull of some guard impacts online, on purpose.
If I ever do see the same combo performed over and over again I just simply throw a quick punch or kick since those tend to be quicker.

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

I bought them from character creation, didn't bother choosing them online if I didn't buy them so I didn't know there was a loop hole in selecting them.
