Not directly V related, but the original Soul Calibur for iOS.

no, no Soba.

This is the "New Soul Calibur" thread.

You gotta go make an "Old Soul Calibur" thread for that. :P

This port already seems better than the XBLA release. The character voices are pitched correctly, and I'm betting they have all the crap that got cut from the XBLA release for whatever dumb reasons (Mission Mode, Intro Creator, etc.)

Check this out guys:

Comments on new Netcode, Replay features and a Devil Jin style on an actually playable character (Or so it seems from the wording)

Hey guys you should watch this before Namco removes it.

Honestly it doesn't matter what males or females show up to me in a cast like SCV's...so long as I can make my own characters based on those styles, I can be happy. :D

Me neither, thank god for CaS! Also I'm calling it now the other Phyrra will probably have Talim or Zas moveset.

A looks at more 2P costumes and a "new-ish" trailer

[PSOInvictus]

Turning out worse than I even thought possible.

[Blade]

Did I just see Yoshimitsu's face "open"?????

[Starlight777]

You mean the part about Patsuka being in the game? I know whatever alternate version Phyrra has stole someone else's moveset as well.

Those Namcops work fast! Hopefully there's another link of the Patsuka vid out there.

Q: Tell us about the online ranking system.

A: There are 25 ranks from E5 ~ A1. This helps separate players into groups where they can play against opponents of a similar skill level. Once you get better you’ll be put up against better opponents.

FINALLY....fighting games are starting to do this

im getting more and more hype for this game

[Kayahtic]

Wow that's news. Now I cant wait to play online.

[SolxBaiken]

There's a rumor that SCV will have a code (button sequence) that unlocks all characters at the start, presumably for ease of use at tournaments.

[Linear04]

if youre going to have unlock codes whats the point of keeping characters locked in the firstplace....

[Mightfo]

i am excited :3

if youre going to have unlock codes whats the point of keeping characters locked in the firstplace....

"casual players"(shitty, vague term but whatever) enjoy unlocking characters. i personally remember enjoying that when i was young

It's nice having it as an option, ESPECIALLY over "Unlock DLC." Like SolxBaiken said, it's probably for tournament organization.

dont get your hopes too high....people from 8wayrun and gamefaqs are saying its fake. but who knows...

i personally hope its fake since i rather have zas/talim/setsuka/new-character rather than 3 characters that use any style (like edge master)

[PSOInvictus]

YEah I am hoping it is fake too, though it is odd that the game is gold yet zero leaks about the last few characters. Unless someone knows how to keep secrets. Also the videos looked....weird at some points.

This would be great, but that still doesn't stop turnover players from being labeled "beginners" despite having skill from previous games, nor does it exactly prove all that consistent a method of boosting rank.

IMO, you shouldn't "rank up" from Beginner to Amateur (or in this case E5 to E4) until you can consistently beat at least 10 E4 players or more...

Nor does it guarantee an A1 player won't end up fighting an E5 player...often that stupid Capcom matching system never works...nor did it work in BlazBlue. If you can't find an opponent of your rank, you shouldn't be forced to fight lower or higher ranks just to keep the search engine running smoothly. It should say "rank not found" or something unless you specify to ignore rank, and if Player 1 chooses ignore Rank, Player 2 who chose to play according to Rank shouldn't be forced to fight him. Players who Ignore Rank should only be matched with other players who Ignore Rank.
