"Anyone play this on stick? What are your guys button configs?"
Still on pad atm because I don't have a stick for my 360 yet (Which is really annoying, I'm too used to playing FGs on a stick), but when I get it sorted it'll be something like:
ABK

Play against a decent Astaroth. Make you wanna cuss out your mother
Default. Though I should change it to something more classical.
Exactly what I just adjusted to moments ago. Much better. I always played SC on pad back in the day, but now I'm making the dedicated effort to play all fighters on stick.
Doing BE on default is awkward.
Thanks for posting those comparisons. It's pretty striking. Hilde's visual upgrade was excellent. Her armor is a lot more intricate now.

I've got a Marvel vs Capcom 1 Madcatz TE stick.
I use what I used in SC4:
ABK
GK
I find having kick in two places is easier - it lets me guard comfortably while having kick readily available without reaching too far...but if I need to hit ABK during a combo or such, it's much easier to hit
ABK
than it is to hit it horizontally/vertically with
AB
-K
and not whiff it and accidently bump a throw button or something.

I do:
A-B
G-K
I might switch to:
A-B-K
G
I miss supers and ex moves sometimes using my og method. Hitting those ABK is surprisingly awkward for me, hehe.
I play VF4 with

GK
I am so used to having kick down there in the corner. I don't know if I can switch.

That's such a strange VF4 layout.

If I'm not mistaken, that's similar to how the 1P side of American VF cabs were.

Pretty much my layout.
I originally tried
A/B/A+B+K/-
G/K/-/-
but for some reason, it was much more cumbersome that way.

Well Siegfried I never would have figured you were that kinda guy.

Man, it's been like 15 years since I've seen an American VF cab, so you could be right.

Is so much more ergonomic, though. A finger for each button.

I just looked on google and saw a VF2 machine where the P1 side is:
G-P
---- K
Weird.

Now we know why VF is dead in America.

I did this for SCIV too. Wish I had more stuff unlocked, and that the school uniform equipment was still in the game.

So (for the most part) I don't look up info on games I know I'll get. I really enjoy turning on a game for the first time, not knowing anything, and being surprised by it.
I knew I would get this one. I came in completely blind and wow am I surprised. So they have like a bunch of new characters and some of the ones I'm used to are gone? I'm sure some of these new ones play very similar to the ones they replaced... but still, pretty cool.
Not that I'm any good (I suck), so being "used to" a character doesn't really mean anything to me.
Too bad PSN seems to be down.
Also, it's so weird seeing Ezio. Better than the Star Wars tie in last time I guess.
I don't know about these Edge Attack things...

i don't get why people have a hard time playing on stick for 3d games. when you learn a new game just try to get familiar with movement.
lol
In other news, I hate how I cannot make a custom Ezio....
I wanted to make an altair costume
Because learning how to do something in a way to which you are not accustomed is difficult.

Just wanted to say this game is a real beauty. I have no idea what I am doing but everything looks good when I am playing.

That would be around the time she became a wuss and caved to her family's demands to marry General Whoeverthefuck. If Kilik had still been around he'd have set her right and smacked up Master Kong for making his kid a goofball. XD

Correct, Roto. However, you can follow up just the first part of the super with a combo of your choice. Doing the second part instead still gets you crazy style points and more damage, but you lose all your meter, so no BEs

Playing the story and so far... I don't get the hate. It's pretty good. Sure fully rendered scenes would be nice instead of the motion comic stuff but I think it's alright.
Also I think I fell in love with Pyrrah. That's a complete 180 considering how I felt when the character was first revealed.

Her character is so moe it's sickening. Her throw where she falls on you made me gag.

Soul Calibur has always had gobs of singleplayer content, including the original one on Dreamcast. Quest Mode, or whatever? Some of us expected it because a precedent had been set.
Playing Ivy online is a lot of fun, at least against people similar to my level. Learning quite a bit and getting a better feel for the game, although movement is starting to feel a bit more janky as I learn some of the moves.
The hate is largely coming from the folks who don't play fighters in MP, such as Tom Chick.
I can see why those folks hate on this game, SC was their game for years, and this version isn't for them.

I wasn't talking about the amount of content, BigJiantRobot. I was talking about the story itself, because people were talking about that.

Ah, right. Sorry, I figured "story" and "singleplayer" were being used interchangeably like they had been a bit earlier.

Should I get this game? I heard from a lot of people that the single player content is really lacking, but the gameplay is still great.
I will mostly be playing online and using CaS, anyway.

I unlocked Algol in Quick Battle. He eventually just showed up.
Both in Quick Battle but that's random. Kilik in Asia Arcade and Algol in Extra Arcade. They also come naturally as you level up. Algol is at level 34 or something, Kilik is some time before then.
Algol is in Quick Battle as an A2(or something) and a Csomething, beating him unlocks him. You also get him through extra arcade, but I think you unlock that later compared to the quick battle.
Kilik is unlocked at level 10, which doesn't take long.

Extra Arcade I believe is at Player Level 17.
Btw, there a list of what levels unlock what?
Classic SC arcade layout. And on an old PS1 Namco stick to boot, since I don't have access to my other arcade sticks atm. Thought about mapping A+B+K to something, but I'm used to BEs and CEs without one already.
