The community in general doesn't play a lot of ranked. www.8wayrun.com has been hosting PSN and XBL tournaments that tend to get you much better competition than random ranked goofiness.Mamesj said:

What happened with this game? The game got good reviews all around and it looks like nobody is playing it anymore.

i play my friends all the time, when I can con them into letting me play as Siegfried that is. No one likes to play against me when I play Siegfried.

Depends. There's a national/international tournament being held for it this month in Colorado. (It was supposed to be a national tournament, but then French players wanted in as did at least one guy from Russia etc. So it will have a strong European influence now, and the French players have historically been really good.)momolicious said:

Most of the major players stopped playing online due to the crappy netcode and were on PSN in the first place.
Freshmaker said:
Perhaps that is the case in US, but there are still dozens of the same players playing online daily in Japan. I know b/c I'm one of them
and the netcode is possibly one of the best out there for a fighter. I always get 5 bars with people within Japan and the lag is so minimal it's almost non-existant.radiantdreamer

Really? I don't see you on my PSN anymore.
Freshmaker said:
Yeah, if they fixed the netcode, this game would have lived. I love SC4 more than any other fighter, but have stopped playing because the netcode is not nearly as good as SF4's. Now I just simply don't play either.

The game is too laggy to play online?
Yeah yeah we get the point Street Fighter made it's grand return but truth is it's not the 90's anymore and people play other fighting games too. I don't know about you guys but so long as I find someone with a connection of 4 or higher I get some very playable matches. Loads of crappy players who spam A and B attacks, I get the feeling very few people even know how to play SoulCalibur.K2Valor said:

That's just 'cause Japan has freakishly overdeveloped internet connections in general, and you're probably fairly close to the other players. Compared to VF5 where I can play someone from Japan or Russia without sacrificing much, playing someone from Japan in SC is pure pain. SC's net code is really inefficient.fionel said:Perhaps that is the case in US, but there are still dozens of the same players playing online daily in Japan. I know b/c I'm one of them
With SC IV, even on a good connection, you can get away with stuff online that you cannot offline. (This holds true playing someone less than 50 miles away on a 5 bar connection.)

So what's going on with this game? No more dlc? Not that I bought any, but I'm guessing Namco is working on SC5 or something.
What I'd like to see in a sequel is more online support, heck, maybe even a hub of sorts where you can actually walk around with your character, team up with people, do some quests, get some money, and the game should be constantly updated with new weapons/armors, etc. A sort of MMO-side to the game would be cool I think.

Being quite new to fighting games, I've picked up a bunch over the past few months and modded my old Dreamcast stick to work with PS3 and PC.
Soul Calibur IV seems quite a different playing style than the 2D fighters and I'd be interested in "learning how to play" it. Can anyone recommend any good resources for a starter in SCIV? I'm not just on about combo lists and specials, but playing strategies and good SCIV communities.

www.8wayrun.com is pretty much it as far as resource site + community goes. There's also www.caliburforum.com but it's pretty dead lately.tyagi said:

...does anyone still play this game?
Just picked it up and playing the series for the first time. Trying the Tower of Lost Souls now but can't seem to unlock any floors after 17 even after clearing the boss for that stage. Do I need to get all chests before moving up further?
edit: just got it, goddamn this game is tough

I would play you but we're gonna get laggy games since I live in Japan, and since you think Ivy is broken I doubt you'd wanna play me ;p
Only broken character in this game is Hilde. What other game allows a character to capitalize on 1 mistake of your opponent and ring him out and win the round?

Anybody got a good video that shows why Hilde is so broken?
WanderingWind said:
Her "doom combo" (which starts from a charge move that's safe on block) rings out from ridiculously long ranges.

She also has the best side step in the game. Plus, button mapping allows her to retain access to A and B when she shouldn't be able to use them (such as for breaking throws) while charging.

Well that sucks. I have no buddies to play this game with here.
I like to play people better than me and learn how to beat them. As soon as I get used to playing someone they beat me and I don't have a chance to replay them.

So does anybody know what the online community for this game is like?
I've always been a VF guy, so I've obviously been playing VF5 as my go-to fighting game for the last few years (with a few bursts of SSF4 thrown in), but lately I had a sudden urge to see how my Taki and Zasalamel skills were holding up.
But if the only people online are die-hard fans out of Japan, then I may as well just put on survival mode on hard difficulty.

I hope it bucks the trend of each one being worse than the last. I love my SC and SCII, but that series has been on the declineFinaika said:
I heard they hired one of the top SCII players as one of the battle directors for SCV. I think that bodes well.
SE and SC3 have been my favourites. I loved that SC3 tried to bring some other genres in with the fighting game to add some extra depth (or breadth really). It was flawed, sure, but it could be great if they work on it._dementia said:I hope it bucks the trend of each one being worse than the last.
