Sphere211 Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Nightmare looks awsome again, Ezio's fighting style looks sick, Levels and graphics look amazing, and The Mustache is back!..... It's like they're trying to make the best soul calibur ever and succeeding so far. I hope they replace Kilik with another stick-weilder. I dunno if i can take another game with "Kats Kats Kats!" Eh some people are hoping Leixia's brother will be a Kilik-ish character, but that's the only lead we have. We don't know how old he is so he might be too young for the game.
SolxBaiken Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Eh some people are hoping Leixia's brother will be a Kilik-ish character, but that's the only lead we have. We don't know how old he is so he might be too young for the game. Leilin being a stick user would be very illogical unless Yan Wujin was also a master of the art. You guys have to realize 1/2 the roster still hasn't been shown yet, so don't sweat it yet :3 In other news: Retail info Dampierre in action
furix Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I loved the boundle, and Dampierre made me lol @.@
Tsuki Garyuu Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Warner Bros. in my Soul Calibur? I can dig it.
SolxBaiken Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 So...much...news... But I'm liking what small bits I saw of Leixia and it's good to see her pretty faithful to my long time main.
furix Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Seriously, within two days, so much Soul Calibur news @.@ But, I like it. And yes, Leixia is wonderful~ <3 Xianghua EDIT: I like that they mentioned that they want to keep out of console exclusive because they want it to be tournament friendly. This is a good sign. Edited October 21, 2011 by furix
furix Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Yeah, I was watching those right now(from your site of course). I am really loving how Leixia is looking~ She seems pretty faithful to Xianghua, I can't wait to play her. *_*
Tsuki Garyuu Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Leixia's practically the same size as Viola, hell Xianghua, and she's 15? lol
SolxBaiken Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Leixia's practically the same size as Viola, hell Xianghua, and she's 15? lol Milk does a body good! Also I'm glad she's tall for her age, hopefully I can avoid the inevitable use of that term I despise most in this world.
Tsuki Garyuu Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Milk does a body good! Also I'm glad she's tall for her age, hopefully I can avoid the inevitable use of that term I despise most in this world. Well, I certainly didn't say that's a bad thing. I'm glad she's tall and there's plenty of warrior spirit in her voice, especially since it's devoid of said despicable word. ^^
Blade Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I just hope Ezio isn't as broken as a certain Dark Jedi whom I shall not name.
SoWL Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 >Dampierre Hi Day 1 buy. If you want Dampierre, buying the game day 1 is buying it too late. Speaking of which, I wonder if there will be other ways of obtaining him. I'm 90% sure that none of my local shops will have him, as they don't allow preorders that often.
A.B.A-can-do Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Well I will have to find some way to get this, Anarchy Reigns, and possibly FF XIII-2
Postulio Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 holy shit...i knew it was jan 31st... but just now i realized that its 3 months away craziness
Starlight777 Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Anyone notice that some of Viola's attacks even look like Amy's? I may be grasping at straws but this all looks less and less coincidental to me. Also Amakusa + Amy + Litchi = Viola.
Mightfo Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Also Amakusa + Amy + Litchi = Viola. yes!! viola looks very nice i am excited for this game
Mightfo Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 more on viola from http://8wayrun.com/threads/jaxels-impressions-on-soulcalibur-v.8605/ I imagine Viola will be a tough contender during the early days after SC5's launch. While, you can't technically have cross-ups in a fighting game with a block button, often against Viola, you'll feel like you're getting hit with one. Normally in a fighting game, the opponent attacks, and you block; once their attacks are over, you stop blocking and start your retaliation. With Viola, when you start your retaliation, you get hit in the back of the head with her orb. Viola has two major stances, Holding Orb, and Orb-less. As she plays, she starts with the orb in her hands, and has the ability to place it out as she wants; which is usually an attack in itself. Once the orb is out on the battlefield, she can summon it back as she wishes; which is usually another attack. Orb placement can be high as well as low; not only that, she can attack with it from above as a mid. Often you will feel like you are fighting against Urien in Third Strike with his Aegis Reflector, or Litchi Faye-ling in BlazBlue with her staff. However, to balance it out, Viola has an extremely low damage output. She appears to be designed for players accustom to 2D fighting games, where a 5 second long 10 hit combo only does 30% damage. But her constant pressure seems to give her many opportunities to reset the opponent. Her critical edge super unlike anyone else's in the game. While most critical finishes are simple animated attacks, hers stays out in the battlefield and sucks the opponent in like a black hole. It does low damage, but it keeps the opponent standing, and Viola is free to move around the continue to combo from it. If the opponent blocks, she is able to walk up and force a mixup. sounds fucking delicious
Postulio Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I can say however, that his soul charge moves are gone... and he is FAST. Yes, Nightmare is FAST... and I mean FAST hoooo snap... him and asta are damn beasts in this game
Tsuki Garyuu Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Nightmare is already fast if you prioritize his quicker moves, but I'm pretty interested in a much faster one.
Sphere211 Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Hope he still has that curb stomp. I love that curb stomp. Was playing 2 earlier with a bud and I just remembered Talim existed. She's about in her 20's right [in V]? I want some Talim now =[
Tomo009 Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 This game is looking better and better. Viola looks like an interesting character, Nightmare looks like Nightmare and Ezio is probably the coolest gust fighting game character of any series yet, so fitting. The only thing I can see bringing this game down now, after I've played it and seen the improvements since, is the absence of Cervantes, but I doubt that will happen.

The only thing I can see bringing this game down now, after I've played it and seen the improvements since, is the absence of Cervantes, but I doubt that will happen. Cervantes has a really original fighting style(unlinke Rock or Lizardman) plus he doesn't age so i see no reason he wouldn't be in the game. Talim is the only other character i'd really like to see confirmed because i know that some version of Seung mina/Kilik will be in it already because not having a stick person in SC would be like not having a Ky in GG. (fuckin hate Ky)
