Yeah, thanks for the invite.
I don't even like playing Pyrrha, but I mained Sophitia in past SC's, so learned her first. She's so boring to play but her stab punisher is so damn good. Probably going to practice Tira more since she seems more fun to play, but I still have no clue what to do in her Jolly stance.
You've got a good Sieg. I always forget about his multiple ring out options.

Woah, High level Mitsurugi is definitely Anti-Maxi. Met couple of them today.
It's many of Mitsu moves easily avoid maxi's punishes, like they were designed to, like fitting lego blocks.
I'd like to learn Sieg next but seeing how he and Nightmare are free to my Maxi I don't know if I should bother.

Arcade mode is fastest.
Not really. You just get the regular amount of EXP for playing matches plus a bonus at the end.
Use a character that's good at ring outs if you want, I guess. You'll still have to actually play the mode.

Everything is made easier in SC5 compared to VF5 : finding new opponents, unlocking stuff, leveling up... it also makes it a bit too easy in my opinion. I liked how in VF you had a different career for each character, it adds to the replay value and the investment in mastering a fighting style.
I'm still ok with how SC does it though, since I don't intend to spend as much time on that game than I did on VF (which is currently the only game I completed to 1000/1000)

I just mess around in ranked. 80% unlocked so far.
I'll play a couple of matches with you. I haven't done anything in ranked so if nothing else you can get a few quick wins. GT ThundR

Played something like 25+ Xiba's today. Yep Killik is back.
My Reptile against one.

Here is my first ever fight clip with custom added music. Was surprisingly pain in the ass to make. Probably will be taken down soon so please take a look while it's still there.

I kept being matched up against a Xiba last night that had 5 bars on the accept screen, but 1 bar in the match, every. single. time. I fought five matches against him, never getting more than a few rounds before he'd spam me with cheap mixups I couldn't predict due to the lag.
How I've not managed to destroy my TE stick yet is a miracle.

Lag switcher?
shysaursoft

Perhaps, but I'm hesitant to think that way, otherwise you start thinking everyone is a lag switcher, when in reality, most people just seem to have really piss-poor connections or weird router setups that misreport their pings.
I'm quite shocked, actually, at how bad most people's connections are, when playing with people on the same coast.

That first vid looks like every ranked match I end up in. A shitty Xiba who spams 66BBB and BB, gets demolished then tries a crit edge in the third round. All that's missing is Xiba disconnecting two hits before you sweep him in the third round.

I've gotten to level 56 by just playing ranked and player matches. I wish there more pieces, or I wish there was a Sauron mask, unless I am missing it.

Anyone want to work on sub characters I'm down. I have a shitty Raphael that needs hella work.

Yup. Yup.
I'm trying to work JGs into my game. Had to answer a phone call. We can play again tonight if you're around.

Yeah, I saw a couple of JGs pop up. I'm not ready to try them out against Natsu yet. I can do them decently enough on the slower characters just on reaction but she's going to take some very specific training. I mostly just need to work on my manual dexterity. I know what to do, when to do it, but my damn hands let me down half of the time (even in practice mode). I'm not even close to maximizing my opportunities and it can be frustrating, especially in a game as easy to play as SoulCalibur.Yup. Yup.

I probably won't be on much (if at all) in the next couple days since I've got homework tonight and will be watching UFC on Saturday.

We're going to run a tournament in a little bit as well, since we had another really good turnout. Stay tuned!

Started playing the game a couple days ago (as in other than CaS mode) with actual human beings. My win rate is <10%, and this was supposedly the fighting game I can play D:
Most of my wins came from Edge Master or Kilik, if I can't predict me they can't either.
Here's my most impressive achievement in the game, I remade Talim:

I did this the other day with Astaroth's 28B+G which connected over the edge. Felt like a boss until I lost the round and proceeded to rename myself narcotecks.
"Break apa--YOU THINK YOU'VE WON!?!?!?!?"
Finally got this game.
Played about 6 hours so far, REALLY like it.
Ended up playing as the character I thought I would hate the most, natsu. I still think her P1 costume is awful, but p2 is cool, and I made some custom outfits for her. So far how does she hold up compared to the rest of the cast?
Also what are some good moves of her's? Right now I have stuck to a few ones I found useful.
A,A,B
4A+B6, 8B+G
A,6 just frame thing
66K (Don't think this is very good though, but it looks cool)
1A
8A+B
2B+K,K,A
A+G,A+B+K (Still kinda getting used to the brave edge stuff)
Probably some others I forgot.

Early rumblings is that she is one of the best characters in the game so you're ok on that front.
BTW random noob Mitsu question. I've seen people use a feint move where he spins around but actually doesn't attack. What is the command for that? I don't think I've seen it in his move list unless I'm blind.
66A+B, G -- Have to cancel early though.

Can anyone give me advice or point me in the direction of how to learn alpha pat's moveset? I just created an incredible custom samurai girl character and now all I want to do is learn how to actually play this game instead of pressing random buttons...

You could start by going through his moveset in practice mode.
Or you could read through this thread.

Um, no idea. I limit myself to North America, so if he's a Russian living in NA, then yes? How would I even tell?
Freshmaker

Who cares? Dude's fun to use. Especially when he destroys his sister and throws her off a cliff.
Then he's all like, "My sister! Noo! Sorry!"
alpha pat has incredible potential but he's also one of the hardest characters to master due to his stringent moves, most of his damage come from just frame inputs, so if you aren't familiar with it then you'll have a long road ahead of you.
to put things into prespective, imagine inputting A in the first frame and B in the second frame, no overlappings allowed, no slow inputs allow, everything must be perfect. a frame is 1/60 of second.
