[Brofield]

I could not care less about either of them. SCIIHD on Wii U with Link or no sale.

...unless Wii U plans to be definitive version with all three characters later on down the road?

 

[U n i o n 0015]

YEEESSSS. Bought!

 

[illmatic22]

Wii U version please

 

[The_Macho_King]

I came to see if this topic was just gonna be about Link... and yea I think that's every post.

I think GAF is going to force Namco to release a Wii U version. Good work. Keep putting on pressure!

 

[Bisnic]

Lol at people asking for Link. Like Nintendo would ever allow that.

 

[Dereck]

these posts...

It was a joke, leik, oh my ged

 

[Raide]

HAHA! Very Cool. Loved SC2. Best game in the series.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Hopefully they won't forget Necrid.

Since he's a McFarlane designed character I bet he's already in.
Wouldn't be surprised if they asked for Necrid and Mc said you guys can have spawn back in to.

 

[Manbig]

That's not Spawn

Holy shit this picture slayed me!

 

[Parallax Scroll]

nintendo should put link in the xbox and ps3 versions as a gift to fans. let's start a petition

 

[18-Volt]

I'm still waiting for Aragorn/Gandalf or TMNT to be guest fighters in a Soul calibur game. Make it happen for SC6, Namco.

 

[Borman]

Were the screens grabbed from a video? Image quality is really, really soft.

 

[SykoTech]

Yeah, I can't wait for every post to be about this.

That was irritating as hell in the last thread, yes. But it is a bit disappointing as the Wii U version could have possibly had a 3 exclusive characters.

But no use in crying about it. I had the Gamecube version back in the day, but always wanted to play as Spawn. Definitely interested now.

 

[ascii42]

I look forward to playing as Spawn with a dual shock.

 

[MoogleWizard]

Those screens don't look very HD... And yeah, no Link no buy.

I would love see this petition and how many will sign it.

 

[ElFly]

Man at least reskin Link, call him Lunk and that's all

 

[Roge9]

This is awesome actually, I don't think Hei or Spawn will be banned now that they are on both systems this time.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Spawn was the most fun character to play as, console-exclusive or not.

 

[buddha0991]

The real question is.....Necrid?!

Btw, convinced people doing the no link no buy thing are either joking, not soul calibur fans or never were going to buy it in the first place.

 

[The_Macho_King]

Ninjas will attack Namco for the moveset.

 

[Steroyd]

Will wait for WiU version.

 

[Barakov]

Nice. It's been awhile since I played SC2. Looking forward to getting back into it.

 

[darkside31337]

Kinl?

Should make a guy named Url who is basically Link in a different colored outfit with darker hair.

 

[Anth0ny]

No link no buy

Surely they're trying to work something out with Nintendo regarding a Wii U release. Namco and Nintendo are pretty fucking close right now, no Wii U release makes no sense. Do they really expect huge sales off XBLA and PSN?

 

[Freshmaker]

This is awesome actually, I don't think Hei or Spawn will be banned now that they are on both systems this time.

Hei has other issues working against him like a 9 frame jab and Hellsweep stupidity.

Wasn't he in all 3 versions? I'm sure he'll be in there

Spoiler

Yes I know you're joking Fuck Necrid

2 was definitely the game I put the most time into, Soul Cal wise. May want in on this one...

 

[Graphics Horse]

Microsoft must be kicking themselves for letting go of exclusive Spider-man Spawn.

 

[Cheddahz]

Sweet as fuck

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Isn't he at the exact bottom of the overall tier list?

What? No. He was great.

I'm sorry but are you stupid. Link is a Nintendo character so why would Nintendo give NB the rights to use him on consoles that Nintendo don't even own. Seriously what the hell are you guys smoking thinking Link will be in the ps3/360 versions.

Well fuck you too, buddy.

 

[Dambrosi]

Link? Forget Link Actually, no, fuck Necrid, just put Artorias of the Abyss in there instead and watch all the Dark Souls kiddies buy it immediately.

Spoiler

Including me, please do it Namco

 

[Grimsen]

All the "no Link, no buy" posts make me realise how many people actually care about SC2.

It' pretty disheartening.

 

[Takamura-San]

Ninjas will attack Namco for the moveset.

There's a trademark on the moveset? really?

Oh believe me, I am not joking. Mwahahahaha.

 

[Freshmaker]

He wasn't especially good.

 

[DarkCloud]

Sweet! Hey Namco, we have the hardware power now! Add spawn's cape and chains in his intro's/win poses please. That whole the cape is his axe thing isn't needed now.

 

[pretty done]

Aw shit, so bought. My two favorite of the special SC characters. Link and people who only like the game for Link be damned.

 

[Anth0ny]

All the "no Link, no buy" posts make me realise how many people actually care about SC2.

Why would I buy a version of a game that doesn't include my main

When I could play the version I own with my main

 

[Zee-Row]

Didn't the Game Cube Soul Calibur 2 outsell the PS2 version by a lot because of Link?

 

[Mr. X]

Link was the best out of the console characters but they all were pretty weak characters.

 

[Branduil]

There is a 0.0000% chance that Nintendo allows Link to be a playable character on a Sony or Microsoft system.

 

[Mechanized]

No Necrid, no care.

 

[Dambrosi]

Following on from my previous post, if you guys really want a Link replacement (since you're never going to get the real thing outside of a Wii U version), why not use Solaire of Astora? He's got a sword and shield, so he could feasibly be kitted out with Sunlight Bolts and a shortbow to emulate Link's other moves. Voila, your non-infringing Link replacement!

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Didn't the Game Cube Soul Calibur 2 outsell the PS2 version by a lot because of Link?

PS2 version had the highest lifetime sales.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Seriously doubt Link will make it. Going back, the dude kinda sucks regardless.

Link was actually top-tier.

 

[Grimsen]

Would you even look twice at Soul Calibur 2 without Link in it? Serious question.

This is the reason why console exclusive guest characters suck ass out of a straw.

I'd go as far as saying guest characters in fighting games suck period.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Link was the best out of the console characters but they all were pretty weak characters.

Nah, Link wasn't.

Spawn was the fucking BEST

 

[RadarScope1]

I would have bought SC HD a few years ago if it had the single-player mission stuff. Instead it was just an online MP game with weak net code. Will they have the missions in this release?

 

[Silky]

Would you even look twice at Soul Calibur 2 without Link in it? Serious question.

Hell yeah.

 

[buddha0991]

All three guest characters are below average with predictable attacks, just because link was cool to play as (and he was one of my mains back in the day) does not change that fact.
