soul calibur 4
- Thread starter skikes

Yep, I've also been playing it. I must admit, the character creation is sometimes more fun than the story mode, etc.
The only problem I have with it, is that the fighting is actual quite slow. I was hoping for the next gen version to be so fast its incredible - But actually, at times it feels incredibly slow moving in fighting.
Other than that, yep, I like it - 8/10! ;D
Also, I hope for the darth vader on 360 and yoda on ps3 to come in the next downloadable content! :3

I'm pretty pleased with the game but I think the Story Mode is lacking something but online play makes up for it I suppose.
Character creation is one of the best I've come across =D It's really fun to see what people create (i've fought an axe-wielding teddy bear and a jack sparrow imitator)
And god knows I've wanted to cover up Ivy ;O
All in all, good game in my opinion, nothing epic but it's still decent

Good game so far, have to say. Although i've yet to have a go online, its still been enjoyable. I agree though, Story mode is somewhat lacking, mostly due to its length. Another small thing i have a problem with is how overpowered i found The Apprentice, i have him unlocked, and his force moves are easy to use compared to yoda's, and they deal huge damage as well. Character creation is good though, heck you even get to customise the likes of seong mi-na and co, so its definitely has more variety.
This game was certainly lacking in new characters, sure we got some guest and special characters, but god damn, Hilde and Algol and that's it? Regardless of that I love it. As you can see you already know who my main is, I've used her every match online so far excluding two which I used Angol Fear. [All I care about is the manga-ka/character designed females]

all i can say is i am extreamley dissapointed with this game....
there is nothing new....what i mean is, almost all of the content in the game are features that already existed in previous games and other fighting games.....
i was mainly dissapointed with it because the producer of teh game kept on raving about how this will revolutionise the fighting game genre in this generation (cant remember where i read that from, still looking)....
basically here are some of my negative feedback to the game:
- lack of actual new soul calibur characters....too many clones etc.
- the stages....from what my fellow SC fans have been saying, most of the stages were in previous games and the new ones are not very imaginative
- to actually perform the critical finish is virtually imposible...i've had this game before launch and i have yet to perform or even see one!
- from what i have played, there doesnt seem to be any new moves for the characters, give or take a few.
i have some more, but these are the ones i could think of whilst typing.....
as a fighting game fan i am really dissapointed, its mostly the same stuff we have seen before, and i really thought Soul Calibur would be one of the few fighting games that would do something to keep the series fresh....
even though i am dissapointed it doesnt mean its generally a bad game, if you havnt played any of the previous iterations then this is very good, but if you have dont be expecting anything epic.
also, imho the only 3d fighting game to actually have good content and revolutionise the 3d fighting genre was Dead Or Alive 2....

This is my first Soul Calibur game since Soul Calibur like... eight years ago, so I can't tell the difference for which is better and which is worse, I can see the lack of new features and stuff by checking out the previous games though. It seems this time all their effort had been poured into character creation rather then offering something new to the genre itself, hell, I've seen Guts, Travis Touchdown, M.Bison and even Cloud and Sephiroth characters. I also fought Clare from Claymore on XBL [and won too] but that's another story.

you better keep hoping, because Tekken 6 looks to be another failure of a fighting game.... had a go on it at the arcades and........'meh'...its the same thing with some new characters, improved graphics, and for some reason, i felt that there was more chances to do juggling (which is an anoyance). it goes to the extent that if you get thit whilst flat on the floor the opponent has a chance to continue their combo on you which is very unfair and unrealistic...even by tekken standards......and the BOSS... OMG ...i dont know what to say.... just look at the following video of the boss in Tekken 6...
and sorry if i keep comming across as some kind of a hater or something else of the kind, but i just hate the upcomming fightings games these days, nothing new just the same old same old, with nothing different to the series. and i can understand to an extent that it is hard to make a fighting game different but like i said earlier, D.O.A2 is the best example.
