Mitsurugi will always be my bro. Shame I never really had anyone to play with after 3, it's my favorite fightan game.

Sc2
Plasyed 1 2 and 3
Either siegfried or link
Favorite stage is that windmill one from 2.

5 was the best fighting game, too bad about the cast.
Rapier-Amy, tira, hildegard, all the s'n's girls, Raphael before he turned vampire (sc2 Raphael in other words).
The library in 2 I guess
Volvos stage in V

No, the best stage is the one with the Knights with the tower shield slowly walking towards you, making the stage smaller. Or the round tower in 5

Stop making sc threads. Makes me want to play it, but I put away my 360. And I'll nerve buy a consol from this gen, and it'll never come out on steam, if 6 ever gets made

>Favorite Game
SCV, i loved ths supers
>Favorite Character
Mitsurugi

i "only" played 2,3 and 5.
and i played 5 the most, i thought it was a great game, and since i value the local multiplayer most it didn't matter much to me that the singleplayer was gimped.

They did a little 20th Anniversary montage on Twitter. That's legitimately all it got. Some people are taking it as a hint of things to come, but I'm not so sure.

>Soul Blade/Edge
Lots of stupid shit but was overall a pretty good game, a nice start to the series.

>Soul Calibur
Fantastic game, fixed many of the problems with the first game and refined and expanded on many mechanics, looked absolutely amazing for its time.

>Soul Calibur 2
Horribly dumbed down version of SC1, focus on a "wider audience" gameplay depth was removed in favor of adding guest characters as a selling point, many bugs such as Gstep and 2G make this already painfully slow game even worse.

>Soul Calibur 3
HORRIBLE game received zero testing has even more bugs than SC2, completely unplayable mess. the Arcade Edition fixes most of these bugs and adds new characters.

>Soul Calibur 4
Fixed various problems with the series but added a retarded physics engine that had no place in a fighting game, this led to many infinite juggles and instant ring out combos.

>Soul Calibur 5
By far the best game in the series, goes back to its SC1 roots, ads depth and solid mechanics over stupid minigames, expands on many of the original mechanics, overall a great game.

It wouldn't be a thread without this.

>Soul Blade

That music tho. Cheesy as all fuck but so great.

Siegfried and that main guy from SCV had a good fighting style. Cannot remember his name, too lazy to find it.

Why the fuck do nips have such fucking shit taste? Tekken can eat a dick, this should be getting a 6th game.

And literally nothing from BAMCO today. Eat shit you subhuman slant eyed fucks.

This has to be a troll.

Jesus christ Soul Calibur 5 is literally the worst in the whole series.

Whats wrong with you ?

We like good gameplay.

2
Nightmare from 2
Astaroths stage from 2
Eternal Struggle (Cervantes theme from 2)

The fact that people think this is bait everytime it's posted shows why SC is dead. For the most part it's objectively correct (probably a bit too harsh on 2 and not enough for 4), but casual nostalgiafags literally can't shut the fuck up about 2 and their sleepovers with it.

Lost Swords showed how too many of SC's paying customers are casual nostalgiafags, waifufags, or singleplayerfags.

So enjoy SC6, scrubs, you can dress up your shitty CaC faggot all you want.

2 had the best art and music by far

The game play was excellent except for Gstep and 2G, which 99% of players didn't know about back then

Like it or not 2 is the best or tied for the best entry. The game was huge at the time.

this, it's hilarious how easy it is to out casuals for this series since this triggers the fuck out of them.

Why is Yoshimitsu objectively the best character?

>actually having faith it's not

The game was huge because, for the first fucking time EVER, you had an Arcade-caliber (get it) game not only at your house, but on every single current-gen console. This was unprecedented, literally everyone could play it.

Add to that the guest characters and how easy the game is to pick up and at least SEEM competent, no shit it was popular. And going a step further 2002 is right about when Fighting games began their decline in popularity.

But hey, it sold well and was popular so that means it was the best game. Just like Call of Duty :^)

Yeah, WE'RE the triggered ones

i always thought i was playing soul calibur wrong because i never did combos but then someone told me it isn't all about doing ridiculous juggles like in tekken

SC has air control but it still has juggles

2
Ivy (made me develop a fetish)
that Siegfriend castle stage

youtube.com/watch?v=Iww3xtuMFeA

I remember leaving my game on the art purchase screen for so many hours

4 and 5 introduced longer "combos" but yeah, nothing quite like tekken, doa or 2d fighters like marvel or gg.

its much more about knowing frame data, how moves track and tc/tj frames

Anybody knows why Namco stopped making SC games?

I always thought it was more fun than Tekken or SF, from a fun casual point of view.

left is better than right

That's universal knowledge.

tekken is their stupid spoiled baby, they steal SC's budget for every tekken game.

suits didn't even want SC5 to happen but there was a push for it and yet again they stole the budget for it and gave it to tekken.

Who would be the best developer for a potential SC6?

SC3 Arcade Edition
Cassandra
Tower of Glory (sc5)
Pirate cove (sc2), Toledo (sc3)

I buyed soul calibur 2 literally to fap to ivy. back then you know as a kid there was no doujins you know what I mean.

but then the game was actually good.

Soul Blade was my favorite, I didn't really keep up with the series only playing 4 a decent amount. I really enjoyed the setting so I'm mostly a nostalgiafag instead of a consumer of it anymore.

>tfw daishi was pretty based but then had to put in stupid OCs for the sake of replacing characters but then kept Ivy in because ''Muh alchemy'' despite the irrelevant time-gap

No. It has nothing to do with Justice.

All they have to do is:
>keep V's battle system
>add to the roster (here's looking at you Talimfags)
>and add some great single player content (optional)

I don't care if they add micro transactions or extra clothing/customizability for money. If I don't want it I won't buy it? Why do people get butthurt about these things?

>Why do people get butthurt about these things?
Because it never works out that way. Instead bamco makes shit like Lost Swords.

patroklos was fun with a dumb as fuck name

stop hating on 5

But user, Ezio was/is regarded as one of the best quest fighters, and Darth Vader was one of the most fun characters in IV.

>Darth Vader

>Lost Swords
Wasn't working so they shut it down.
ie: people didn't buy shit they didn't like.lrn2capitalism

ScV got me hype as fuck for the series again. Yeah tekken is Bamcos pride and joy, but fags like you who spew nonsense ideas about why not to support a great fighting series are cancer.
The Battle system was perfected in V. They wouldn't have to invest much time tweaking the characters already in. Add another 10 characters to the roster and a great campaign and they'll have the GOAT soul game.

>fucking negafags why are they always such shit?

And what makes you assume I'm a casual shitter? I've been in this thread saying that V is the best of the series.

But I'm not delusional. casual shitters have voted with their wallet so bamco will be focusing on single player content, cac shit and licenses for guest characters. couple that with nips' shit taste, who literally cannot fathom women aging above 28, so you'll have to create whole new characters in order to expand the story.

I heard that the only reason why SC is a thing is because Harada backed it for so many years and it died because he's not doing so anymore.

I never called you a casual shitter user, I wouldn't sink that low.

I'm just perplexed that you're dismissing the idea of SC6 or Soul Blade 2 so readily, especially considering the last entry has the best fighting in the series.

If we want the series to get more support from Bamco, they'll have to see how much people love and want Sour Caribru.

It's my favourite fightan series and I'm just sick of negafags not even giving Bamco a chance to make a new one.

I had fun with the Secret Apprentice. He was pretty cool, also made me interested in The Force Unleashed, which was doubly cool.

>they'll have to see how much people love and want Sour Caribru
The problem is that people don't. The Japanese have fucking shit taste and cannot tolerate only having 2 nips in the game. It does okay in the US, but 3d fighters aren't too big since the 08-09 revival and would be directly competing against Tekken. It only shines in Europe really, especially France which is not a huge market.

The only thing SC can really offer to set itself apart is CaC, and that's what we'll get if we get anything at all. I'd love to be proven wrong, especially since Project Soul FINALLY figured out how to balance their shit well with interesting mechanics.

But I'm not holding my breath.

ppl still diehard play sc2 online on xbox live

SC does well in the US and EU, Japan hates it because it's one of the two games they cannot beat western players at and they behave like babies when they lose and demand immediate balance patches to nerf characters they didn't study match ups for.

This happened to Tira in SC5, a Tira player took everything and the gooks cried foul about it because they never studied the match up.

Fucking AIDS
