Soul Calibur 5

"You're just saying that because you DON'T have big boobs."

...

IT'S TRUE!!! ; A:

B-BUT aside from that it generates the sterotype that a woman should just be a sex symbol, and sadly most female characters rarely evovle beyond this :<

[Tsuki Garyuu]

Wow, Blade is being surprisingly asshole-ish...

Oh, this is nothing. Especially compared to "youknowwho" who was begging to banned.

Sad truth is sad. Even as a guy, I pity those (Japan in particular) who make video game/animu girls that were intentionally made for us to not give a damn about.

[Blade]

Honestly if I want a girl to evolve beyond a sex symbol, I might play a JRPG with dramatic cutscenes showing her heroism (Valkyrie Profile comes to mind, but the whole attempt at evolving past sex appeal kinda backfired, what can I say? Men like strong women with big boobs.).

For fighting games most people just care about swords clashing and boobs jiggling and the occasional upskirt axe-kick. Though I guess since they're trying to portray Noel as a heroine, that rule kinda bends in her "modest" favor.

@Firekid2: If that's your first impression of me, that's kinda sad. I was kidding at any rate.

@Prototype909: You're just saying that because you WANT me to have big boobs.

@SxB: I said this before I'll say it again, if your waist is smaller than your chest, you're FINE. It's proportions that count.

I'm kind of a DFC to modestly sized man myself. :3

is that why you hang out with me?

[Hecatom]

small boobs are better imo

[Varamathras]

I'm with Blade here because I also love me a pair of Rockin' Tits!

Though honestly, I could care less about Ivy could fall over at any time. I love Soul Calibur games because I love Soul Calibur gameplay; 2 and 3 are still my favorite fighting games of all time, 4 was shit. Whether the girls all have tits like a couple of basketballs or not, doesn't change the fact that I love this game.

They should decrease breast size of the main cast and increase the size you can make them in CAS. Both by a fair margin. Win-win.

[Mightfo]

for me, everyone else can go flat forever as long as ivy stays huge :P

Wow, Blade is being surprisingly asshole-ish...

not really, he's blade

also, i dont understand why soul calibur fans want the create-a-character thing gone. that's a huge moneymaker and a nice feature. removing it is rather extreme as opposed to just..banning custom charas from tourneys or whatever.

[Firekid2]

Oh, you!

Blade, I don't really think you're an asshole.

[SolxBaiken]

Sadly I know the women will only get bustier and skimpier but this won't detract me from playing the games, so long as they remain fun (but if they change Xianghua then we will have problems)

I don't see them removing the Create a Soul option, it's been present in the last 2 (3 if you count Broken Destiny) and customization options are prevalent in their other flagship fighting series (Tekken). Besides it doesn't take away anything and it's not like anything new has to be learned since they use the exact styles of whoever they're based on. How can I make Xianghua better? By making her a cold assassin :3

[Prototype909]

Really I don't see how they can make Ivy skimpier along the bustline or make Taki's outfit any tighter. They are running out of clothing to remove.

Behold the future of Soul Calibur's designs

This... NEEDS to be in CAS. Instant D1P imo.

[Xtra_Zero]

Why do people claim the gameplay in 2 and 3 was better than the gameplay in 4? IMO everything BUT the gameplay was better in 2 and 3.

[Varamathras]

Why do people claim the gameplay in 2 and 3 was better than the gameplay in 4? IMO everything BUT the gameplay was better in 2 and 3.

The frame data and 8 way run sucks for most characters in 4. It frequently devolves into AA, BB, 2A, or in Astaroths case, 6K in fear of getting punished. In 2 you could try a whole slew of different things, because everything was safer. Also, while step G made the game too turtle-y, it meant everyone was moving and actually looked like what you'd expect from a battle with weapons.

3 didn't have good gameplay, but it had awesome levels, tons of characters, and nearly endless amounts of things to do. 4 has a bunch of square and circular platforms that Namco calls levels.

[Urichinan]

Don't forget that 2 had better mechanics, soul cancel was the best.

I said "and" instead of "had". WTF is wrong with me?

[Halcyone3]

Anything beyond a handful is a waste, real talk

[Blade]

All I remember is, people spammed Astaroth in SC4 and that made me sad.

And I was one of the people who actually BOTHERED to learn Link in SC2.

[Tsuki Garyuu]

People spammed Mitsurugi in SC4, which is even more sad.

1K,5B = pro Mitsurugi Strategy

I remember that even if you could block the 1K, you would not be able to stand up in time to block the B. Because of lag.

Only if you have no eyes and no mouth. Or, you know, no attraction to breasts that large.

I was victim to the Siegfried and Kilik spammers, I think this is one of the series responsible for making loathe giant swords to the 9th circle of hell

Well I still beat them most of the time it's just Amy and Talim's normal size weapons made it a bit frustrating to get in.

Guess I'm guilty because of using Siegfried.

Stepping away from mains for a bit, what actual custom characters have you made based on "other characters?"

[Urichinan]

I made all the BB characters once.

Ragna= Nightmare

Jin= Mitsurugi

Noel= Cervantes

Rachel= Setsuka

Taokaka= Voldo

Carl= Amy

Litchi= Killik

Arakune= Lizardman

Tager= Rock/Astaroth

Bang= Yoshimitsu

Tsuabki= Sophitia

Hazama= Taki

Makoto= Talim

Valkenhayn= Yun-Seong

Platinum= Seong Mi-Na

I couldn't get a design for Hakumen, Lambda and Nu. They were too hard. XD

I tried to get the weapons and fighting styles to match up the best I could. (Except for Bang, I just wanted him to have a joke move set)

[Postulio]

i think in SC5 itd be great if they...

1. get rid of create a character

2. keep edit character option.....just add a lot more to it

3. have A LOT of unlocks. similar to sc2 and sc3

4. team battles

theres more, but cant think right now....

and hopefully the community doesnt get all lame before release again..

"omg, ____ better be in the game! they havent been confirmed yet!"

so stupid :P

[Tsuki Garyuu]

Almost all of the Fate/Stay Night servants and more.

Saber: Siegfried

Archer: Cervantes

Berserker: Rock

Caster: Tira

Assassin: Mitsurugi

Lancer: Kilik

Lancer Zero:Kilik

Bazett Fraga McRemitx: Maxi

Berserker Zero: Nightmare

Gilgamesh: Siegfried

The way I designed Saber, Lancer, Bazett, and Gilgamesh, they were almost 100% close to the original designs. xD

I made a Jin Kisaragi: Raphael because I think it just fits his elegance and even his...well, issues. And Noel: Talim because Cervantes style just isn't very "like her."

Others (if I remember correctly)

Fou-Lu: Cervantes

Soi-Fon: Taki

Bang: Maxi

Natalia (TotA): Sophitia

Sapphire (Disgaea 3): Cassandra

Selvaria Bles: Hilde

Testament: Zasalamel

Zhao-Yun (DW6 version): Kilik

1. get rid of create a character

So you want to get rid of create-a-character but want more "edit a character."
