They should've went Shinnok route for Killik and set commands to manually change styles for few seconds.

That would've actually been a great idea, makes him way more useful than Edgemaster, although maybe that'd make him a little broken? I mean, the whole being able to change the match up whenever you want thing sounds potentially a little too good since in theory he could never have a bad match up.

Was Shang Tsung broken in past MKs?

Honest question, I don't know. It shouldn't be a problem since the person would still have to know how to use everybody to exploit the bad matchup.

 

[SolarKnight]

Neither do I *shrugs*

It'd be something like Viper in Marvel. Best character in theory, but needs plenty of work to get there.

But it wouldn't last long, like 8 seconds and he'd revert to the style he started with. They could've also make him vulnerable for a sec during style change so to give it a risk factor. Player would have to choose wisely when to change eg. after knocking out opponent.

If only I could play Marvel. Just something about that game I can't pick up and play. It's the same with Blazblue. Just not that great of a twitch fighter.

Can Kilik's style be chosen?

 

[Varth]

Can Kilik's style be chosen?

Not sure what you mean. When you create a character? Yes. When playing? No. It's random.

BB is actually a rather slow game

BB is actually a rather slow game

As true as that is, it's the whole concept of keeping combos going. I mained with Tao and just getting her ariels done. Eeesh. Like I said, something about those types of games I just can't grasp and play. Which has me really worried about SFxT. SC I've always enjoyed and how paced it is.

Those dash cancels are ridiculous. Funny I couldn't do those combo challenges at all, went online and was beating people left and right with regular KOF in your face rush tactics.

Try playing as Taokaka

I meant while playing versus. I wasn't sure if maybe they tried to differentiate him from Edge Master in some way. Lame. Best rendition of Kilik ever and he's a mimic.

.......................that Devil Jin...and the music! Yes!

 

[Sir Garbageman]

So how do the mimic characters work anyway? At the start of every round the fighting style for the character is randomly selected?

That juggle Devil Jin did at 1:00 makes me sad.

 

[AAK]

That entire juggle requires a full 2 bars of super meter. Not going to be seen as much.

 

[TDLink]

Apparently the first 3 DLCs have been revealed. Coming from a post on 8wayrun:

• February 3rd: Exotic Custom Items (Wings, face paintings, etc.) & Soul Edge/Soul Calibur DLC music tracks (available individually and packed -- prices are like SCIV DLC)
  
• February 14th: Custom Items Pack (including Kimono, Animal Heads and Armor) & Soul Calibur II and Soul Calibur III DLC Music Tracks
  
• February 28th: Exclusive Custom Items (IDK what that means) & Soul Calibur IV and Broken Destiny DLC Music Tracks.

Looks like the plan is DLC every two weeks.

 

[Airgetlam]

Ah, ok that's reassuring. Haven't seen that video before.

Soul Edge music!

I miss SoulBlade art, music, character models especially Siegfried.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. "The Edge of Soul" and "Thanotos" better be included in that lineup.

 

[TDLink]

I just hope the music DLC isn't all ridiculously overpriced. Also I am going to go ahead and guess that Dampierre will be DLC sometime in March...maybe the 13th. (That is just my speculation though)

Did the AI just do that juggle? LOL

 

[notworksafe]

SC2 music DLC is sweet but I'll wait for the Talim DLC before getting too into this game.

Unless Ezio is amazingly fun (and not tourney banned). Then it's on!

EDIT: I should add that I'll still be buying it, most likely. Just not too interested in the current roster of characters at the moment. Maybe that'll change after seeing some post-release gameplay.

 

[Solune]

February 14th: Custom Items Pack (including Kimono, Animal Heads and Armor) & Soul Calibur II and Soul Calibur III DLC Music Tracks

Fuck DLC but if tracks have Hubris then I am IN THERE.

 

[SDBurton]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. "The Edge of Soul" better be included in that lineup.

Damn straight. TO SHINE!

 

[SkylineRKR]

Nice, so that means Brave Folk Song and Hubris might return?

I also hope for some Khan Super Session, as Moonlight Shadows and travel diary were rather nice. Soul Edge/Blade has one of the best gaming OST's ever imo.

 

[Master Thespian]

I know it's completely unfeasible (and borders on sacrilege) but I'd love for those old tracks to be given the full orchestral SCV treatment.

 

[R_thanatos]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. "The Edge of Soul" and "Thanotos" better be included in that lineup.

You know what ? i'd rather have the hability to use custom soundtracks ( like SF4 for example ? )
Selling DLC music ? So people really bought those packs for Soul 4 back then ?i just don't understand..

 

[OSHAN]

How much were the tunes for SCIV?

 

[SkylineRKR]

I have a few but forgot what I paid for them, they weren't cheap though. I think 99 cents per track/ 15 bucks for the whole OST?

 

["God's Beard!"]

But worth every bar

Yeah, holy shit 75%. That's three ultras.

 

[Master Thespian]

This sounds about right. I remember them costing more than the entire SC1 XBLA, which was really odd.

 

[soakrates]

I wouldn't worry too much about that Devil Jin combo. He's far from the only character who can do that kind of damage. Some might even be able to do more damage with less meter.

 

[TDLink]

If it is something like $5-$8 for one of the old game soundtracks then that is ok I think...I would get the SC2 one instantly at that price and probably the original Soul Edge one too. Anything more than that is way overpriced though. I would not pay $15 for one, much less the 6 they are releasing.

 

[AAK]

EDIT: Nvm, that was a GI

 

[FinKL]

Wait a sec, does getting grabbed make you lose meter?

I rewatched the Yohsi vs Harada match and yoshi Lost half his bar when he got grabbed into the bitch kicks:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R0bV8uv4wY&t=3m38s

It looked like Yoshi went for a Guard Impact (50% bar) (at first I thought Brave Edge throw) You can barely make out the way he shoves his sword upward before he gets grabbed.

 

[sixteen-bit]

For those with the game, how easy is the Platinum? I got 1000/1000 SCIV without much trouble.

SCIV was the 1st and only game I've 1000/1000 on xbox achievements

 

[SkylineRKR]

Was thinking about it, but now I remember... SC IV on Ps3 had no trophies

Was it like, Tekken 6 easy?

 

[Jay Shadow]

How much were the tunes for SCIV?

$15 for the whole thing. Or you could buy the entire SC1 for $10 and listen to the music in the game it came from

 

[sixteen-bit]

Was it like, Tekken 6 easy?

Yeah, more or less. I think it was actually slightly less tedious than T6. In SCIV you could clear all the SP content with one move using Astaroth.

Lol, the only retail games I've 1000/1000 or Platinumed this gen are Namco Bandai titles - SCIV, Tekken 6, and Gundam Extreme Vs.

 

[Hours Left]

There is a story mode...

But no individual endings in Arcade. If everyone had a route in story mode then it would be alright, but since it focuses on just one character, it doesn't really cut it IMO.

And you'd think with Namco introducing so many new characters, they'd want to have individual endings to help get players familiar with the newcomers. A very unfortunate omission, hopefully it'll be rectified in future releases.

 

[FinKL]

Was never interested in T6, but there were a couple of painful things to do (Survive vs lot of characters with not a lot of life) if I remember correctly. I picked Astaroth and kept every1 at range. He had a move that swept the floor, great range, and did pretty good damage, 1A i think it was.

 

[Papercuts]

I don't recall how some of the CaS stuff works, but you weren't able to use the normal costumes of the roster for them, right? I really want to use a Xiba style with the Kilik costume.

For those with the game, how easy is the Platinum? I got 1000/1000 SCIV without much trouble.

It looks easy to get with possible exception of one, reaching over 87,600 meters in battle.

SCIV had one for reaching over 10,000 meters in total movement distance, which I got about 75% of the way through the achievements. Needing almost 9 times that is going to be a pretty huge timesink I'd think.

 

[d0c_zaius]

Bummer, east coast gets it urleh but nothing for LA until tomorrow.

Gotcha. I could probably still get that one naturally as long as my friends get into the game and I'm motivated to continue playing. Thanks.

 

[Soulscribe]

So any word on whether certain stores are releasing this baby early? Tuesday's right around the corner but my friends and I are dedicating that evening to RuPaul's Drag Race instead.

 

[Dead to Rights]

Just a heads up for LA GAF:

The Wal-Mart in Pico Rivera was stocked full of Soul Calibur V copies when I went there yesterday.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 was also in stock. :3
