Anyone made a decent Guts from Berserk yet?

[sixteen-bit]

Church's chicken is having a soul calibur 4 sweepstakes.

Why though?

It's like some absurdist cross-promotion.

EDIT: Oh, I guess the genius who dreamed this up assumed many gamers enjoy junk food. He's probably right.

[ShinAmano]

Church's chicken is having a soul calibur 4 sweepstakes.

Yeah, but nothing about it on their site...

[MThanded]

Yeah, but nothing about it on their site...

Yeah i looked on there too. Im confused. Its a trick. If that coupon wasnt in there I would have never gone to their site. hmmm

[jobber]

Church's: Home of the fried Yoda?

[borsdy]

Do you get Yoda at the start or did my game bug out?

[dralla]

what the fuck, Vader is awesome, who was saying he was too slow?

[Team Klimt]

I'm seeing some real wacky graphical bugs in my PS3 version. During the opening movie Seigfried had a black bar shooting out of his face and during gameplay Kilik had the same issue during several matches where these solid bars shot out of his chest and arms and ran all the way off-screen. It's a major lighting bug that somehow slipped thru into the final game. Maybe the patch that just got released fucked up some shadowing issues?

I'll try to post pics when I get the chance. Anyone else notice this? It is painfully obvious if you have. I haven't seen anyone reporting this issue yet. The positioning and thickness of the lines changed every match. I was using Kilik's alternate outfit on several different stages. Some were much worse than others.

[BradVanDam]

Why two versions of the same thing?

because its awesome

I've been using Kilik primarily and haven't seen anything like this, we'll see as I play more...

[Eric WK]

Absolutely no online issues yet for me. All four and five bar games.

(360)

[IcebergSlim3000]

Is there way to put 2p costumes on other main characters. Like if I wanted to use nightmares 2p costume on Seigfried can I do that, if so how. You'll have to excuse me Ive had the game since this evening yet Ive spent the entire time in practice mode.

[Mr. Durden]

Ok so how can I unlock a lot of equipment fast?

[_tetsuo_]

Anyone made a decent Guts from Berserk yet?

I will attempt. It is pretty much the only thing i will try to make in the character creator.

[mr stroke]

is it me or is the Apprentice a cheap bastard?

[Teknoman]

Darth Vader is pretty cool. I still need to commit a few of the moves to memory though (for multiple characters).

[burgerdog]

is it me or is the Apprentice a cheap bastard?

He's a cheap bastard.

[Jazzy Network]

Darth Vader is pretty cool. I still need to commit a few of the moves to memory though (for multiple characters).

As far as a character yea. As far as a fighter, he's nothing special.

[mr stroke]

He's a cheap bastard.

I have been trying to beat him for 30 mins now, bastard has a ton of unblockable moves
:(

[Glass Brain]

Anyone made a decent Guts from Berserk yet?

It's the only thing I've been thinking about. I want to make a young and an old Guts. I feel like I need to get more items.

[jaundicejuice]

Well I caved, I wasn't going to buy the game at all and then went ahead and bought the Premium Edition for the 360. elohel.

The regular game, a card with a code for some dlc, a comic/art book, a tourney chart, a marker for the tourney chart and an XL shirt. Assuming a bit much on the last part there eh Namco?

[Kai Dracon]

Just got the game here, and we're all bummed out that they didn't think to let you sign in two profiles in VS mode so each person can use their customized characters.

Unless I'm missing that option somewhere. Anyone?

[Sanjuro]

Curious. Which mode seems to be the best at unlocking the outfits/items? I haven't turned on my XBOX in three months so been not paying attention to the gaming scene or reading up on this game.

That's a hardware error. My old Radeon did that occasionally until I updated the drivers. In a PS3, it's a sign of impending breakdown or overheating.

[Dina]

I come from SC2 but I totally hate the Tower-model right now. I'm on floor 34 or 36 or something like that and fights turn into hour long hatefests where you get lucky once and beat a string of opponents. It also turns into fights against the clock more then against challenging AI opponents.

I'm kinda stuck in the tower and that means that SP is basically dead to me. Descending the tower will get me to floor 5-10 and not much deeper, ascending has me stuck against 10 enemies who block a lot of moves, have all kinds of S abilities and I have about 20 seconds per character. Ringouts are hardly possible since most have ring out protection S.

In the earlier (at least in SC2), you had a way to progress through the storymode even if you were stuck somewhere. There were always lands to visit, levels had secrets that opened up other areas and the main path to victory was definately easier then most off-branch stuff. Which meant that you were never stuck.

Vader force-choked the life from my PS3! Awesome. :lol

[rollingstart]

Vader is a bit cool, but he is also super cheap. Not exactly broken like Yoda, just really cheap with all those force moves.

[radiantdreamer]

That's a hardware error. My old Radeon did that occasionally until I updated the drivers. In a PS3, it's a sign of impending breakdown or overheating.

I remember when I first got me PS2, upon taking it out of the box, it crashed 15 seconds after starting up DOA2 without fail. Geometry would fly everywhere or go missing entirely and it would just hang there. Played PS1 games fine, but that was about it. Even crashed on playing DVDs too.

[CcrooK]

Is there an option to keep Vaders voice in English or will I forever have it in Japanese? :lol

[grendelrt]

It's the only thing I've been thinking about. I want to make a young and an old Guts. I feel like I need to get more items.

Please post when you do. A Berserker armor version would be insane, but I doubt they have that texture or the "snout" on the helmet.

[Sectus]

How does the code work? You input it via the 360 dashboard? If so, what's the name for the download?

[Ferrio]

Is there an option to keep Vaders voice in English or will I forever have it in Japanese? :lol

Oh wow, I didn't think about that. I'm sorry vader, your voice isn't enough to make me put myself through horrible dubs.

[Space A Cobra]

So is it just me or did they model Rock's face after Triple H.

[Mamesj]

Is there an option to keep Vaders voice in English or will I forever have it in Japanese? :lol

Not that I've found. but Yoda talking in Japanese is pretty funny.

Still, poor choice namco.


p.s. this game is fucking awesome. this is the best character creation ever in a fighter, hands down.

[Teknoman]

Are the endings in Story mode different from Arcade mode? Because the Story mode endings seem a little...lacking in content.

[pancakesandsex]

What is the LE downloadable content?

[jaundicejuice]

How does the code work? You input it via the 360 dashboard? If so, what's the name for the download?

I popped in the game created a save file first and then skipped back to the dash to input the code in the marketplace blade. Read below for what it unlocks.

What is the LE downloadable content?

Soul Calibur (Final Form) and Soul Edge (Final Form) for Create-A-Character.

[Slayven]

Is there a copycat character? Like weaponmaster?

[MarkMan]

Vader is a bit cool, but he is also super cheap. Not exactly broken like Yoda, just really cheap with all those force moves.

Vader sucks IMO. He has no tracking moves and all of his moves that start up the big damage are easily steppable... I've been using Vader vs friends for like two weeks now. He is really limited due to his speed. His best move is 1B and even that isn't that good.

[dorikyasu]

Oh wow, I didn't think about that. I'm sorry vader, your voice isn't enough to make me put myself through horrible dubs.

Wonder why they didn't make everyone speak their native language like in Tekken (4 & up).

[jaundicejuice]

Why doesn't every fighter rip off VF4's training modes? Seriously, why can I not have a command training mode that lets me go through every characters moves without having to pause the game every couple of seconds to see what the next few moves are? And why isn't there a timing indicator on the moves that require exact timing with certain inputs? I'm pretty certain SC3 had a really good training mode buried in it, although my memory is a bit fuzzy since I spent the least amount of time playing that iteration. I don't mind it if a game is deep, but it should be transparent.

At this rate I'm going to stop off at EB tomorrow and just buy the guide so I can have the move set in front of me and a better explanation of how to pull of some of the timing. Not everyone prowls [insert fighting game title here]'s forums.

[AndresON777]

Played with Yoda online, awesome, he has great moves....Kilik is great against him though...damn staff has long range. Online very good so far...as long as its 4 or 5 bars. My GT is AndresON777 if anyone wants to play some player matches.

[Papercuts]

I haven't tried all that much, but I haven't been able to get into any standard ranked matches yet.

I'm mainly focusing on single player stuff right now, I blew threw arcade with Kilik and even got a perfect on Algol, then tried his Story on Hard and had a hell of a time with that bastard.

[The Take Out Bandit]

Church's Chicken coupon just confirms what I've said all these years; black people love Xbox. :P

Anyhow, played two matches on a blue box connection and it was flawless. I won two matches in a row with my Raphael, and then got booted from the server for poking the hell out of the turtle Scrubvantes corpse. :D

Awesome.

They're really changed Raphael.

PS3 owners can look forward to a 30MB patch at boot.

Installation takes about 16 minutes total.

LOL I just knocked all the armor off of Turtlerugi. lolol :lol

[purg3]

What do you have to do to unlock that tight leather armor people are using to make Raiden and Snake?-not the one with the spikes. I want to make a Ryu. I beat story mode with everyone except Algol and the bonus characters and still don't see it.

[rollingstart]

The Apprentice is really good. Vader sucks horribly.

[takotchi]

What is the LE downloadable content?

Japanese schoolgirl/boy outfits. Pants/blazer/loafers for the guys, plaid skirt/blazer/loose socks for the chicks. Plus, it unlocks the Soul weapons and gives you those achievements automatically.

Somebody else asked about the card... it has a 25-digit code that you input in the 360 dashboard where you redeem points cards and stuff like that. It's called "Premium Downloadable Content" I think...? Anyway, it specifically states you can't get it "anywhere else".

edit: Oh yeah, it's only like 108kb so it's sure as hell not "downloaded" (duh). It's just unlocking crap already on the disc.

[Teknoman]

Wow. Immaculate Pledge and the stage the track plays on... just beautiful.

[permutated]

Just bought this for the 360, can't wait to play it once I'm done eating :)

[Souther]

Wow...This game is pretty awesome..The graphics are ridiculous. Soundtrack is great too.

I really can't understand all the hate on the english voices...they are pretty good actually. Usually i would play with the voices in japanese because i usually prefer jp voices...but not this time.

There are enough good voices that warrant playing it in english.

Vader, Apprentice, Siegfried, Hilde, Ivy, to name a few.

Lol Vader sounds horrible though in jp.
