Soul Calibur 5

[Starlight777]

I miss the Lancer class and Katana & Shuriken :|

Katana & Shuriken was a decent way to make a ninja without using Taki's moveset. I'm always hoping that Namco will introduce a new character that actually makes use of one of these forgotten styles.

Excuse me, but Mina was here before Kilik, so it's actually Kilik who is a tweaked Mina. Also, I always wondered why Kilik didn't abuse the range of his staff, holding it in the middle most of the time. So yeah, screw Kilik, give me Mina.

Also, I wouldn't discard Rock so easily. After all, he has the perfect way to represent his fighting style with BANDOOOOOOO.

He was a tweeked Mina, and then he changed him outright from 2 to 3 making her and him stand out form each other.

AKA making him decent and leaving her to hang out to dry with her bad move set....

I love Mina's moveset because of the accidental ring outs I get from being reckless.

Ringing myself out, I mean.

[Vulcan422]

Kilik does that too, but better.

Back on topic, there is only one character I really want in this game. Behold, the greatest Soul Calibur character ever made: Olcadan.

I honestly prefer Charade for the mimic character.

EDIT: Is this old?

And the more I hear Viola's voice I swear she's Amy.

Kilik could only ring himself out a few ways, half of Minas moves set allowed her to leave the ring lol.

I hope they keep that launcher move the Katana class had, because it's such an awesome move to grief people. Free ring-outs all week long, but one day my friends finally learned to block. Thus my reign of terror promptly ended.

Who the hell are you? I've never seen you on these forums before. O.o

I fixed that for ya.

Ah, thank you. Stupid Kuuchuu Buranko, getting into my head and making random typos.

I always had the impression that he fights better than whoever he copies at the moment. I'm all for bringing him back.

And, uhh, I was never following the SC scene, but why is Mina considered so bad? Is it only because of self-ringouts? My friend mains her, and he always kicked my butt whenever we mashed together.

[BeaverDeity]

Charade and Olcadan were beastly.

O RLY?

As a (former) Mina main, I felt that many of her moves were unsafe and you needed to play passively to avoid whiffing shit. I was never good at any of the SC games, so please take it with a grain of salt.

Live Stream #3

I love Leixia's alt outfit ; w;

[Starlight777]

So I'm hearing on srk and siliconera that Edge Master and Algol are returning. I hope those aren't true at all. I've never played SC1 to get to know Edge Master and do we really want to put up with Algol's silly bubbles again?

[Postulio]

i think im more surprised that algols in it...

he has some very cool gameplay, and now that he wont be the boss in the game, im curious to how his gameplay and role in the story will play out

btw, theres supposedly a boss rush mode as well as quick match.

maybe we can expect Abyss and Night Terror to fight against....

[Starlight777]

I looked on 8wayrun and it's all real. Also Devil Jin style for CaS only, everyone who wanted a barehanded style for CaS got their wish in a really weird way.

Also Algol is taking Urien's fashion sense. Just horrible.
