"Does anyone know if Twitch is shutting down streams of this game pre-launch? Similar to what they were doing when Ultimate Marvel came out?
If they aren't, I may be able to stream Wolfkrone playing this game tonight."
It's entirely reliant on what Namco wants. If Namco complains, the streams not approved by Namco will get taken down, likely.

That one Leixia brave edge (whatever the notation for it is) is fucking serious.

Fuck this is entertaining.

Apparently the move is 66A+B BE. That move, that move is so fucking good.

Best hype factor since the game announcement.

No 'In the Name of Father'? Wat?
Honestly they should have just stuck the SC1 up as DLC and not bothered with the rest. That OST is just awesome.

"I dont understand how Leixia's moves just break guard out of no where no flashing...Do certain attacks just break guard?"
Yes.
Yes.

Man I'm gonna need that guide after all. I understand so little of the technical side of Soul Calibur, and I wanna play ZWEI more than anyone.
The guide has frame data, so I'm picking it up just for that.
The Mitsu preview that was posted seems questionable in terms of strategic content (at least that's what some Mitsu players are saying), but I can't confirm that until I've read the sections for my characters.

Is this a much different fighter than something like MVC? After buying MVC3 and being turned the fuck off by the game wanting you to memorize these 300 button string combos and requiring that you throw your life out the window to have the time to dedicate enough time to getting even remotely decent at the game, I need something a bit more straightforward to say the least.
Just haven't been a fan of these incredibly overwhelming fighters as of late. They're cool games but I don't have the time or will to get good at them.

There are tons more moves in a 3D fighter, but most are piss easy and natural to execute. It's more muscle memory than anything else. SC(and most 3D fighters) is definitely more straight to the point than the average 2D fighter.

Takes time to learn this one too. Memorization too. Not long strings but when to use particular move and how to follow up.

Sounds more manageable at least and not as overwhelming.
They do have a demo of Soul Calibur 4 if you want to mess around with 2 characters on XBOX live

And SC1 for 10(?) bucks.

May do that. I'm no stranger to the franchise despite my questions, I played a lot of SC2 and some SC4, but I don't really remember how "complicated" they were.

Pretty much this. More moves per character but in general less execution heavy than your standard 2D fighter.

Great deal. No online multi though.
Arturo will be streaming in a few. He just picked up the game.

It's open lobby for SFIV right now till he gets home from the store.

Oh is it okay to stream it?
I just got the game and I'm going to run through the story mode and try to unlock some stuff

Have others found it at Walmart or are those getting it early hitting up mom n' pop shops in NYC and the west coast? I have the game pre-ordered and paid for with a Best Buy gift card I got over the holidays, but I'd totally rush out to a K-Mart or Walmart if they broke street date...

Didn't SC2 have a "story mode" consisting mostly of "you're in this Egyptian dungeon, a fighter stands before you"?
Only real worthwhile story mode was in Soul Blade.

This story mode is so campy... ink drawn panels with voice over. -_-
Yup. Hate the CG/comic mix, too. The latter really feels something they put in when production money ran out ^^'

Is that opening video with SCIV Sieg and Knightmare realtime? If those character models are in the game I wonder if they'll be DLC.

No, it's pre-rendered. But the Nightmare outfit is in the game when you fight him in Legendary Souls mode.
I went on thursday and the copies were gone, so I assumed they found out.
