Got time to play tonight? Seems Global Colosseum has better lag for some reason. I was disconnecting with SleepyKyo a lot yesterday, we went into the Colosseum and had 0 issues.
Speaking of the Global Colosseum, that's one of the coolest things I've seen in an online fighter. It needs to be a mandatory thing in all fighting games.

That throw of her's where she grabs you in mid air is fucking ridiculous. That move alone does the same as my super as Raphael.
I never tried this Global Colosseum thing before. When are you guys doing it? I don't mind tagging along.
Where have you been the last two nights?!
I mostly played Yoshi in SC4, and after seeing the changes but not having spent a lot of time with SC5, i much, much preferred the SC4 version. That's pretty much why i've gotta find a new character. I'll keep using Yoshi as well, but i kinda doubt he's moved upward tier-wise if i had to guess.

Alpha Pat's CE is also i8. Not sure if there's anything faster.

Welp, just got the Ezio achievement. Ringing out with the crossbow is still hilarious and sidestepping an attack and countering with a CE will never not make me feel badass XD
The online is really damn good. Even the one time the connection became 1 bar for some reason played pretty well.

Ha ha ha, that guy was kicking himself, I'm sure. Hey, at least it was his own mistake!
I'm sure this guy was kicking himself when I won, too.

Three times with the same move, it must be really annoying. 
I like the Aeon character for all his different moves allowing for ring-outs, by thrusting a punch, headbutting, grabbing or launching the opponent over his shoulder... At the moment I mainly play the IA, but it is surprisingly good at ring-outs too.

Import to XMB, then you have to grab the file off your PS3 and put it on your computer and upload it to youtube like normal. Least I believe that's the only way.
The file sizes for me were around 45MB for 5 rounds played.

Watched Patroklos fight. That was close and tough. You should try ranked, right now it's much easier.
I'll probably try it out before I go to work. I'm a huge punk though, was scared to try Ranked at first.
It sucks that the one win I had I couldn't upload in replay. Right now I only know maybe six or seven core moves for Pyrrha and P. Omega.

You'll find that half don't even block in ranked. You have a quick block reflex, so you should get few perfects.
Coliseum matches are way tougher for me now. Later it's likely that weaker players will leave and only strong will stay, but right now ranked is "feels good" city.
I'm no Pyrrha player but my only advice would be... Stab! Stab! Stab! Mercilessly.
That 236B and 2BB(I guess?) is so annoying and it gets in way more often then it should, especially 2BB. Move when she crouches hits with shield and suddenly gut stabs, might be in crouching state.
You can also use the PS3's built in video editor/uploader and just upload it to YouTube or Facebook directly from your PS3.
Just under Video in the XMB.

I haven't touched story mode or legendary souls and I have all characters unlocked. I am proud of myself, hehe.
Hope my normal play can get me to level 53 soonish.

Feeling bummed out by being UK right about now. I'm gravely in a mood wherein I want to watch some SCV streamed, with commentary. I assume there'll be SCV at 8 On The Break tonight but I'll be forced into a state of sleep by the time it gets going.
Does anyone know of any EU streams that run the game? I understand the French love themselves some Soulcalibur. Do they have any weekly tournie scenes or suchlike with an accompanying twitch channel?

Easy pickings online, until I ran into someone who was 337W and 17L. He did a 14 hit combo with Nightmare with a wall bounce. It was beastly.

Yeah. I think letting up in Soul Calibur is usually a pretty bad idea. As they say, "the best offense is a good defense." (Or did I get that backwards? =P)

I hate how ALL your armor breaks off at the end of some rounds. It could have been the shoulder pad then the, arm guards, greaves. etc.

Aside from a Hilde player who murdered me, its not too bad. I'm not steamrolling anyone but it feels like my kind of skill level though.
I'm pissed I lost to this Ezio player though. Although its my fault for losing because I got too cocky. He was doing the same moves over and over and his gameplan was predictable so I started getting overly offensive with Pyrrha. Then he did a Critical Edge I did not anticipate.
His whole plan was to try to knock me off the ring with Ezio's gun. It worked the first time but it wasn't happening again.

I think he was going for trophy with Ezio. Funny, before release I noticed Ezio crossbow seemed too good, but people were like "No, no it's easily avoidable! No problem!"
Damn me if that shit isn't fast.

It would have been better if they just made it happen after losing the final round by a big hit.
Too early to call. Alpha Pat's damage is comparable to Natsu's (if you can hit those fastest 2143 moves). Algol and Natsu just have some great options against tech rolling and that'll catch a lot of players online.
Zwei and Viola's unconventional (by SC standards) style means their strengths aren't going to be uncovered in the first couple of weeks.
Doesn't it still change damage though?
Too fast. Soon as I see him crouch its pretty much too late to block so I try to side step.
I think when I get off tonight I'll play some more ranked matches. I've been cheesily setting the search settings to rank similar to mines, which was the lowest rank in the game.

Nope.
I stand by this assessment. If you're far away, he shouldn't be hitting you. It's a linear attack.

Do you guys think sometimes the bars are really truthful?
I swear to god, some of my 3-4 matches are worse than the 0-1-2 matches sometimes.

Yeah, it's super obvious. A few good uses of it(low one on wakeup), and that one BE where he shoots it a few times can be good, but it's really easy to see. Didn't stop me from getting perfects with it online going for the 10 wins, though! Even landed the gunshot on people that don't seem to understand sidestepping.

It's kinda hard to win a match by standing far away.
