Even though pre-release online impressions are usually worthless, that's good to hear.
I suppose so. I know it's not something we'll have to worry about in my scene.
Good to hear.

That's why I mentioned what I said
Yoshimitsu is my main, then Patroklos.
Will probably use Ivy like I did in SC2 but her new throw commands are wtf to me lol.
That's good to hear.

That's it, I'm biting on this one. PS3 version for me, kiddies.
Can she at least buffer commands again?

What are the throw commands? I realized I signed up to play this at FR so I'll get this despite my reservations about it not being finished, but I'm going to need a new character since everyone I played has been left on the bus.
8WayRun is your best bet: http://8wayrun.com/
Keep an eye on the Soulcalibur Tactics subforum and character-specific Soul Arenas.
I feel your pain... Part of me is even trying to like Skullgirls. I just don't understand.

Patroklos a rush type character?
Can you say in general how many new moves did the old characters get?

It isn't "the way it has to be" because 8wayrun does not control EVO. My worry is that EVO will just adopt their policy since they are the largest online community for the series (although I hope they don't)...we need to wait for Mr. Wizard to weigh in on that I suppose, or see what they do with the first major next month. Regardless, I don't think anything has to happen (or should happen) just because a few admins on one website say that is the way it has to be. This should be a community decision and if the community is not agreed upon it (which they obviously aren't) I don't even know why they are letting it happen. I am happy to see that a few people in here have local scenes who aren't just blindly following what the 8wr admin team dictates.

I don't know to be honest. But Pat is definitely not a rush type character, he's kind of sluggish IMO.
Yeah, she can, but her shit is like 28284666A+G now lol. Just gotta get used to it. And SS is a BE move, weird.

and Rock, and Hwang, and Sophitita, and Setsuka, and Li Long, and Bangoo...
Alas, the highs and lows of fighting games. You get so attached to the characters and it's depressing to see them get passed over. At least there's always a chance that they'll be brought back.

Critical finish, balance in characters, and online.

Anyone who has an early copy, had you checked to see if player 2 in offline versus can load a profile / save, like to access their CAS stuff?
Personally, I always liked messing around with CAS. Its only downside is that custom parts that involved lots of cloth, like robes, tended to be low quality due to the need for them to be generic. I wonder if that's improved any.

Well, one thing is sure: No Critical finish in this.

Thankfully you can customize those now with the emblem and pattern functions.

Sold like shit at retail, shipped a ton of copies though.
It isn't just one website, it's the SRK of SoulCal sites. Would you want 8WR determining banlists for SF4? There is nothing inherent about Evo, SRK, or the Cannons that makes them a better judge of tourney worthiness then the 8WR folks.

WILL DO.
i will try my best to create him in this game, hopefully the places you can utilize your created character are more enoyable than last games tedious offerings.

Bull, it was just slow burner at launch.

Sold to retailers =/= sold in homes. Very big difference when it comes to choices in regards to making DLC for games. Why make DLC when only few hundred thousand people actually bought the game?
I R JEALOUS
DLC production (at least initial DLC ) is not decided based on sales, as it needs to be made/greenlit before the release date is even close.

Christ.
When they "shipped to retailers" they actually use that word, sold is actually sold.
You think Tekken released on 3 platforms didn't sell 3,5 millions since 2009? You realize the franchise is always multi million seller right? For over 17 years. 3,5 is still low compared to previous Tekkens, but few hundred thousand? You aren't delusional, right?

I doubt this is applicable to all DLC.
Nope sold to them is is sold to a retailer. There's no data in the world that would back up 3.5 million copies sold in homes. Tekken 6 never even charted in the US/Euro, and was minimal in Japan.
of course which is why I edited it. but your example only covers the last DLC made, and does not determine if DLC is made at all. This is speaking from experience.
if companies waited for sales numbers before deciding to make DLC, the window from release to release would be too large.
but my statement is very applicable to DLC being ok'd, which was your point (I think).

DLC in general. Tekken 6 had some preorder DLC though.

You say this like it isn't already a problem for some games.
Which would be quite incorrect. But there is no way for the average game consumer to know the politics of DLC production.

Fucking post office. My bro had the day off tomorrow and so we planned to hit up the pre release party. Now he has to work tomorrow and we cant make the trip. Someone get me a shirt =(
The netcode has a lot to do with the slow launch. When they patched and sold at discount, it sold well.
Hopefully Namco learned their lesson from that.
Added the Famitsu review score and CE unboxing video to the OP, thanks for sharing!
Also, I completely forgot to add that Insert Coin is doing SC5 apparel to the Extras section, lol. They have some pretty nice designs in general, looking forward to what they come up with aside from this Cervantes shirt.
