then you are most likely being tech trapped, if you are being relaunched by the same string of moves you'll know it's a tech trap. stay down for a while in that case or just stand up.
also, when you tech roll you can guard lows if it's not a tech trap.

finally played the game just now. it is SO MUCH BETTER than soul calibur 4, i love it. unlocked kilik on my very first run through arcade. also got devil jin pretty quickly as well. need to start the story mode tomorrow so i can get the rest of the characters. already at player level 5, so im hoping to unlock more music and stages.
also, you can pick any song you want on any stage? now this is what im talking about! i absolutely cant wait to download all the music packs, especially from my beloved sc2 (confrontation ftw).
ezio kicks so much ass. i absolutely love playing exclusively as guest characters and ezio is easily the best one next to link. his moves are awesome, he fits into the soul calibur universe well, and not to mention, his stage and music are amazing.

Sophie's a douche. Yes, in her mind she was justified, but the whole world or your kid? Nah. Especially since when the world goes to hell your daughter goes with it. And Pyrrha gets herself some confidence and mans up (or womans up) at the end anyway.
Alpha Pat = best Alexandra. He told Soul Edge AND Soul Calibur to go straight to hell and still got his happy ending with his sister. Guess this means Setsuka's a better fighter AND a better parent than Sophie, LOL.

LOL cervantes does SO MUCH FUCKING DAMAGE.... The pirate god will never suck ever I swear LOL
Anyways as far as I can tell the top 3 in this game will end up being.
Natsu, Alpha Pat, Cervantes.
Those guys just got so much shit going for them it's crazy.

It should be noted that said novel contradicts the games/canon here and there though... I don't know how if we should really consider that version the definitive one.

Holy wow I fucking hate Algol in Legendary Souls. I've never actually broken a controller in my entire life until now.
They're not really complete, actually. A tradition, by now, it seems...
Algol, Edge Master and Kilik are still missing.
Oh, wow. I have much to learn.
And what's wrong with that? She is a mother. I'd think a lot of parents would rather see their kid safe first and foremost. She always originally put the world first but she got different priorities now.

I hate AI Nightmare so much.
That's nothing. Between SC2's Cassie ending and SC4's Cassie, she is responsible for 3 holy weapons destroyed.

so what's the consensus? which version is superior PS3 or 360? I always prefer gaming online over Xbox Live, but which version will have a more healthy/longer lasting community? there isn't any exclusives to either console right?
I wish this had the ability to toggle English/Japanese by character... while most of the voices are fine there's a few on both sides I could do without hearing...
Pick the system your friends are on seems the common response to this....

Fuck Namco for what they did to my poor Ivy. No whip stance? Are you serious? Also, the hitboxes on a good portion of her moves are just wonky because you will whiff them in close or medium range. I'm am truly at a loss right now because even after playing Ivy for years, I got online and got my ass waxed trying to make sense of her mishmash of moves now.
she also does abysmal damage
In your esteemed opinions, would you guys say it's worthwhile to buy SCV if I intend to play it offline? SC, SCII and SCIV are probably a few of my most frequently used (offline) fighting games. Is the lack of content really as bad as I've heard?
I avoid going online with most fighting games, this included, because I'm a complete scrub when it's not made by Capcom
Do you have friends to play against? If not, no. The singleplayer part of this game is the weakest of the entire series in my opinion.

Message sent! Would like to play a decent viola.(use seig too) Haven't been beaten one yet. Can be very annoying when they just spam A up close though.

So I guess I'm a bit confused about the logistics of Guard Impact. Can you GI any sort of move in the game (regardless of whether or not they're safe otherwise) and punish the player with anything significant? I guess I just don't understand the logic of GI needing meter to use it if there isnt a significant upside to using it outside of like ... maybe getting out of corner (near ringout) situations or avoiding guard breaks.

Seeing how he went to bed and doesn't play viola, you should send it to me.
you can pretty much launch your opponent upon a successful GI, it has a big window, not as much as guard burst but sufficient enough for a 3B to sneak in.
the new GI covers high, mid, low attacks as well.
Yeah, I was surprised by that as well. I usually breeze through every SC arcade mode even set on Ultra Hard or whatever, but even Normal Nightmare requires focus and concentration.

GGs to Q,and kiryogi! Q's Voila is great. Don't think I've ever been comboed so much in my entirety of playing Soul Calibur. :lol
Future Press's last FG book was for Tekken 5, but it was for Europe only and is now really rare. Many of the best Tekken players worked on it and it was another 400 page hardback. Really appreciate the nice comments about the SCV guide, everyone that worked on it put everything they had into it.
We basically ran out of time. We had to work out all of the data ourselves and Devil Jin's data was one of the many things on the magical list of things to do if we had time. We also wanted to include all of the Just Guard data for all characters, but even with 9 authors there just wasn't enough time to do it.

Has anyone been using the Create-A-Soul mode much? I was just messing around and created a few, would love to see what others have made as I am not very creative =P
You could probably tell how bored I was when I made these.
I'm keen to try out some more - does anyone know how to unlock more parts?

Cervantes is money but does he a have a decent low attack? I miss his wide low slash from SC4 that caused knockdown (iirc 1A)

I like them. Posted a few Silent Hill ones some posts back.
Plan on making a lot more CaS from other videogames. Haven't posted my original CaS creations(only made two). Will make more when I can get more equipment. I think you unlock stuff by leveling up the player card, and ranking up online too.

I'm a Raph player that's been running into a lot of Mitsurugis, though my sample size is probably not as large. I was expecting a lot of Natsus, personally.

Another that I just whipped up in two seconds. It's a bit of a shame so many items are not here in SC5. I want a policeman's cap!
Do the created characters warrant another thread? I don't wanna annoy others by posting my creations while others talk about the game itself =P
Also I chose the Kilik style for a very good reason

I agree, but it might be down to me not knowing how to get off the floor defensively?
Can anyone offer any advice? I've not really played any SC in any depth since the Dreamcast version and although I can play quite well at this one there has been the odd occasion when the AI have me on the floor and continually batter me (Knightmare & Maxi) and there was little I could do? Am I not doing something?
