I am Korean.
Type B control maps it to an annoying place on the stick so I never use it.
I also can't imagine not customizing the controls before playing a fighting game.
I have it set to R2.

Comes down to tase I suppose. It's more convenient for session play and tournaments if you don't have to fiddle around in the config screen too long IMO.

That was my first thought, but the more i spend with it the better it gets. There doesn't seem to be as many stances and different combo's as in the previous games, which is fine with me. That along with the CE's kinda bring back memories of the first Soul Edge game.
Online is more solid than I expected, that goes for its interface as well.
Just too bad that there isn't any decent single player content like SB's Edge Master mode.
That's how you show off the game. Great, and funny, video.
I love you Giantbomb, but this is how you present SCV in a quick look.

Looks like you slide from 4 to 6 while hitting A+B in between. Kinda like Ivy's 6B9 motion for Ivy Lick.
Thanks! I'll try it out. I thought it was a charge move.

Yeah, I don't think there are any charge moves in SCV in the traditional sense like Balrog or Bison in SSFIV.

Someone pull me away from Reckoning so I can play SC D:
You gonna be on tonight or you also gonna be playing Tera?
Gutter_trash: I thought I sent you an invite like day 1

No Tera til next beta maybe. I already played the korean tera so I have no need to "try" it.
If there isn't one I can make it.
I need some real time help with Tira for real lol
EDIT: Oh kiryogi, may I have an invite?

Hilde has them.

I already knew about those. I'm talking about holding a directional and then slamming it in a different direction hence the SSFIV reference. There are no traditional charge moves outside of holding a button down to "charge" it up.
You mostly use Patrokolus but you'll use her quite a bit too.
Its mostly, no its pretty much Pat's and Pyrrha's story so get used to them from beginning to end. You'll probably use Zwei like...three times in the entire story mode.
Thanks, oh well. I guess it will help mne to fighter her online
I like Pat's style, so that is fine. I haven't got up to usieng Zwei yet, but he looks pretty bad arse.A few of us tried it out the other night but I don't know if anyone has been back since then. As soon as one or two of us were in there, randoms started showing up.
Hopefully SCVI allows people to make their own Colosseos.

How would that work in a 3d fighter?
Very happy with this game. Never had the intention of buying it but it was new that week. Haven't played Soul Calibur since SC2 on the GameCube. Few weeks later and I am liking it more and more. I love that it's not heavy on the chain combos but is more of a spacing, and high-low game similar to Street Fighter. I guess that's why I could get into it probably. I don't expect to keep playing this up until SFxT comes out but who knows maybe the obsession will grow. Love Global Colosso.
Perhaps a blocking stance while holding back or back down. You don't even need to use to block input of course but I don't see how it would work differently in a 3D fighter. It's not like SCV plays different much anyway.

It's an excellent game to focus almost purely on fighting game fundamentals. Even the longest combos, with the exception of a few characters like Viola, are simple and require little memorization, just practice for timing.
But making it about weapons, seriously emphasizes those fundamentals. To me, SC is a more arcade-like Bushido Blade. You don't die in one solid hit, but it is massively about positioning, feints, and choosing the precise moment to stick an attack out.
Being forced to charge in a direction of movement in a 3d fighter to do moves would be a horrible idea. Hilde has it right.

I once played someone just starting out in order to practice with my Voldo CaS. I kept interrupting his attacks and threw him around a lot, with the last match being a perfect.
He told everyone that he's tired of getting "spammed" and that this game sucks because of that reasoning. I told him that he should block more (because he barely did), and he said he's new and doesn't know how to do it properly.
WUT?

Tried out replay upload feature.
I feel giddy like a schoolgirl for 2 reasons:
1. It's the first time ever I uploaded a video to the net.
2. First time I see "myself" in online video.
Here we go.
SOULCALIBUR V Ranked match: GrayFoxPL(DevilJin) vs JB-10(Natsu)
SOULCALIBUR V Ranked match: GrayFoxPL(DevilJin) vs DRUNKnMunky00(Mitsurugi)
I'm giggling. "Mom I'm on TV!"
Oh, my upload speed is so slow it took me 40 minutes to upload those, lol.

So, I haven't played much SC since 2, and coming into 5 feels so different, yet vaguely familiar. Mosly getting my ass handed to me online. At least it's smooth. Thing I miss from earlier games, is how guard impacts work. Now it's a 3 button press? Meh. Seems overly complicated, just to be complicated.

Well I haven't played SC since the early months of SC4.
I did enjoy it for the most part. Is V worth picking up? Is there a general opinion about the game amongst GAF?
also, are there special characters for the 360 or PS3 version that make one worth owning over the other if you have both systems? I'm as far out of the SC loop as anyone can be, so any insight will be appreciated.

A+B+K should be bound to a solo button press, so you could hit back + a single button. A lot of characters have auto GI moves as well.
its less complicated than 1g for mids and lows 4g for high and mid or 3g and 6g.

V is much better then IV. Didn't see much(any?) different opinions. It's much more dynamic, faster and just fun. They took out some complex combinations and moves from IV, but it seems it's for the better.

General consensus:
1) Single player sucks
2) Online play is awesome
3) Gameplay is a lot more fast pace and turtling unfriendly than SCIV
