In all seriousness I'm surprised how much better the graphics really were. I was very impressed, especially with the facial animations.

I'm loving this game so far. It seems to be really enjoyable at both ends of the casual and hardcore spectrum, which is extremely rare for a FG. I hope it has some legs and isn't a bomba like some earlier posts suggested.

Well hello to you too Pyrrah.

Not having to adhere to an arcade hardware standard certainly helps. Console-only fighters tend to play to the consoles strengths. DOA5 is looking visually impressive too.
Yay, finally got the game! I completely skipped 4 and this will be the first I actually try to learn properly and not just do whatever.
I want to play Raphael, but I guess I might as well start with Patroklos since I will be playing him in story mode in addition to some other characters? Also interested in trying Siegfried, Zwei and Patsuka.

More polygons on ass and cooch - Mmmmm.
I couldn't connect to anyone today, not ranked not player or coliseum Tested a changed my router settings 6 times. When I decided to resign as a last step I went into tiny london coliseum 5 or 10% and surprise! I connected to everyone! Seems the less populated the better. My connection handles fights well but craps out trying to follow all that's happening in 95% populated lobby.
Ranked searching seems to process to much shit too as it takes many minutes and a miracle to find a match. Mk, sf4, Tekken 6, BB is blazing quick in comparison.
Hope they patch the search engine, unless it's only me.:/
Tried Algol - holy mother! He's totally different character then sc4 and 10 times easier to handle. Tried him online few times but lost and I got back to Devil Jin
.Ezio is pissing me off.
Oh one more thing:
How to register a rival?

Fun matches.....Tira seems annoying as hell, lol. I like that.

Once a match is over, I think you need to press start instead of A/X, to access the registering menu. I don't think you can do it later.
Press up/down during move display to go the next. Left/right to change category.
I guess I worded it poorly, sorry, I meant display the commands for one move at a time on screen while I'm practicing. Can you only do that for the ones with the tips like 6BBB for Patroklos?

Yeah, only "main" moves, there's no option for full list while practicing. I know, sucks.
Wow, went to my first SCV local tourney. 20-24 players, placed 4th.
Destroyed my first few opponents with Xiba mixups easily, then fought against a solid Devil Jin - someone I do not played against in its SCV form aside from maybe one or two live ranked games. That put me in the loser's bracket where I met my XBL nemesis friend who plays Patroklos - and it was close, but I lost.
I do not feel bad though. I have done a lot of surprise last frame counter Ultras, I kept my overall balance in the matches - now it is time to hit the lab.

I actually opened the manual to look how to do this, you would think it be under Soul Link.
I think I found it in Leaderboards
You add people from looking at their license.
Huh? Q's Viola does 14 hits normally and 19+ at times too.
Re: Leixia. She's decent, but her mixup options were nerfed a bit in that they're mostly 8WR now.

This may be a slightly silly question, but does anyone know of any good Viola and Prryha guides?
Naw this guy was doing quite a bit more I think, of course I haven't seen Q since the game came out so who knows.

Because I use Wolf, Jeff and El Blaze in VF. Astaroth is my main somehow, lol. Been using him for two days, got some offline matches with the top players in NYC, and I did very well. To bad you can't save offline replays. Mitsu is gone, and hello Astaroth! He reminds of Jeff sooooo much! That knee on counter is godlike. And the mix up after that..:O so good. I'll get some online Matches later on the day and show gaf what's good. BTW, this is my favorite 3D fighter since VF5....
They could just not rank rematches.

It's there on my profile.
Yeah he's leveled her up more since. He said something about using her orbs more.

LOL anything past what I normally do is a huge ass waste of meter for likeee 8 more damage
Wow, I was coming to the same conclusion (also was a Jeff player)- feels like Jeff with Wolf grabs.
Also, I think he can blow up the fuzzy guard with his throw, as if someone tries to do it they get air thrown.

Yup, his command grabs reminds me of Wolf a lot. I love the fact that his 3G+A or B are awesome tools for OKI. When I get my 88+B to connect, I do a 3G+A or B for a low throw tech trap. Homeboy is solid. looking forward to put more work in.
236B but it's not safe, it's her best punisher for pretty much anything
Oh, I should try that.
I'm noticing a lot of my moves are getting stuffed by other characters moves, particularly Xiba and Natsu, and I figured Pyrrha has to have some decent pokes to counter that.
I try to not use that move period unless BE'ing, so I can get his 28B+G for the 110 damage.
The ground grabs seem to set up a VF-style nitaku perfectly if you nail them. (unsure if anything is guaranteed after them)
The downside is I feel like I'm not playing Soul Calibur when I'm playing him, and run into big trouble if I run into someone who forces me to play Soul Calibur.

I can play in like 20 minutes, gotta go grab some ink from Walmart (have to print something tonight and it can't wait), and then I can get on.
I already sold the game. :|. Never was a big fan of 3D Fighting Games but gave it a shot and played about 150 Games with Nightmare.
Don't like all those 50/50 Situations, if i guess right i win if not i loose. You basically have to learn every Matchup, to see in the start Frames if the opponent goes for a low or mid.
Atleast in my experience with this game though I'm not good of course and never played Soul Calibur before.
Too much work - SFXT is coming out soon.

I havent sold it, but i do feel the same way. The game has been regulated to "casual fighter" for me. It is definitely an extremely well made game, but the mechanics do not mesh with me that well.
On to SFxT
I wonder if this game will have legs with the competitive community.
Or even just fighting fans in general.
There seems to just be so many games in that market already... and more coming.
I'd be extra bitter if I lost my SC because they failed at their attempt to chase after the Capcom audience at the expense of fans like me.
Do 3D fighters generally stick around anyway? Is VF still a thing? I remember there was high praise when that was released years ago.
We've seen the Japanese numbers, but have we seen the North American sales yet?
