Soulcalibur keeps getting worse and worse. (Or Vice Versa)

Why is SC2 considered the apex of the series? What was wrong with SC1? The whole Yoda/Darth Vader nonsense was predicted by having Spawn and Link playable in SC2, anyway.

It's an honest question, though - it's really hard for me to judge really important things like gameplay balance across the series when I've spent so much time with the first. For example, they nerfed Mitsurugi's air-juggle combo starter in SC2, and while the game felt nearly identical in many other respects, that single move was a staple of my entire SC1 strategy. It may have been an incremental improvement, but for me, it made my favorite character a little less fun to play.

My favourite characater in soul calibur is Cassandra! Her moves are simple yet powerful! most especially in soul calibur 2! The Valkary is her best weapon.

But yes, soul calibur is getting worse!!

So Amy is fucking incredible, she's not Rapheal, she's Xianghua, and I finally figured out Hilde, I'm borderline terrific with her now and she's a ton of fun.

The thing is she's a charge character, and you can combo the shit out of people with her. You have to hold down an attack button for a while then let go to do her attacks, the trick is that you can hold down (charge) while doing other attacks.

Hilde is one sick mother fucking character.

(jesus, they really need a code for Ivy's move set from every game eh? Just a which Ivy are you good with code)

There was nothing wrong with it. For all intents and purposes, SC2 pretty much was just a better looking SC1, which is the only reason it tops SC1.

I Don't Think It's A Case Of Either
I Like Playing Soul Blade Every So often
soul Calibur 2 Is Still My Favourite For Ps2, Gamecube And Xbox, I liked using Link Spawn And Heihachi
i Don't Really Like The Third One That Much
the 4th one Is Ok, I don't Like Using Yoda In The Xbox Version As He Just Does Not Fit In, I've yet To Play The Ps3 Version But I fear The Same Will Apply For Darth Vader
but I Do Quite Like The Customization Of The Fourth one After The Disappointment Of The Third One.

Alright fuck this thread. After going online with Siegfriend and crushing a load of newbs I stumbled across a fellow Sieg player. Who wiped the floor with me...not even funny. He used Sieg in fucking crazy ways I've never thought. I got into a few one on one matches, we played 19 straight...I won 2...anyways, seeing a player this good made me realise ALL of the combos are still there, just not the ones we're used too. Soulcalibur is better than ever, I learned a shit load of techniques for about half the players I've beaked on this thread.

Anyone bitching with me go back to practice mode with your favorite character, I garuntee if you look hard enough you'll find what you were missing.

No Nintendo fans are not pleased, thats the last time I buy a Nintendo product.

I was spewing when I found out there not releasing SC4 on the Wii! Just as well I guess, reading everyone's analogy's sounds like they screwed it up like Brawl.

Since I don't have the luxury of a current-gen console, I'll just say one thing: Vader has no place in SC, no matter how cool he is. Namco, please stop cross-franchising in your games. It may have worked with Link, but at least he fits.

I can't figure out Hilde either. I get my ass handed to me by her, and I get my ass handed to me when playing as her.

But yes, Soul Calibur 4 is extremely disappointing. It's absolutely pathetic compared to Soul Calibur 2. I remember kicking so much ass with Talim, but now she's so nerfed it's not even funny. Even now I still play Soul Calibur 2's single player much more than Soul Calibur 4.
