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

I was actually surprised to see SC IV feature online playability since I didn't read much pre-release news on it purposely, so that's a welcome surprise, although I think I'll practice my Xianghua more before I even try to go online.

So far, the most notable part of SC IV for me is the character creation. All the colour changing options, accessories, and even voice pitch and skill modification capabilities can have you spending hours if you want to tweak your characters to the max. It's also pretty cool how you can make your own character and have them fight exactly like an existing character, instead of just a predetermined moveset that's weapon specific.

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Vader's fisherman's throw certainly is hilarious to see, albeit a bit lame to use against someone with Nullify Ring Out A to deprive you of the fun.

What exactly are Seung Mina's quickest options? I'm adamantly using her online, only to have lots of trouble when pressured up close, only to have 2K or 6K and maybe a high smack with the bottom end of the staff, as the only quick pokes available, since it doesn't seem like Mina's A attacks are fast at all. Obviously she's meant to stay at mid/long range, but of course although optimal, that won't always be the case.

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

Ashlotte certainly catches my eye with the whole doll motif matched with the axe and wire skirt. Certainly an effective alternate for Astaroth for both the unknown and deception factors.

I just encountered one of the most ridiculous CaS creations online a couple of days ago. This one person's character named "Mizuki" looked like a nurse in a pink dress and was carrying the Pow Hammer. It actually distracted me so much that I couldn't focus on the match! Obviously, it's the Astaroth moveset, but it kept making me laugh since it made sound effects and was so large, not to mention her high voice and looking completely like an anime character. That single match instantly made my day, and I wish more people would use the joke weapons, which don't even seem to be just for laughs anymore (140 Power and 140 Boost? Yes please!).

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

Regarding all this frame advantage talk, there's this Mitsurugi move that I've been seeing a lot. Would I be correct to say that the move where he kicks you and then follows up with a large overhead slice gives frame advantage on the first hit upon block (if you know which move I mean). It looks like the kick leaves him open, but really, trying to do a quick poke after that always results in a counter hit with the meaty followup slash.

I finally managed to get a meager 10 wins online, although at the expense of 33+ losses :/ Seong-Mina sadly isn't cutting it for me nearly as well anymore as Voldo, since no one ever knows what to expect from him. I still have lots of trouble against decent Mitsurugis and Siegfrieds unfortunately.
