There's only one thing that makes me wish people would die slow, horrible and really painful death and that's ****ing calling Soul Calibur - Soul Caliber. That's mind blowing idiotic and I see that **** up 50% the time the game shows up, even on the games sites as news. Why? Why? Why the flying ****?

How do you feel about people saying VIRTUAL Tennis?

 

[Green Biker Dude]

Xbox 360 version:
-Ryu Hayabusa
-Baldur
-The Arbiter
-Kaim

PS3 version:
-Kratos
-Cloud
-Nariko

Multi guest characters
-Dante
-Nero
-Samanosuke Akechi

Make it happen plz

This list makes no sense. Why would Ryu appear only on the Xbox, while Dante and Samanosuke would be multi?

Oh wait, I know why.

Nothing. That's not common and besides, Soul Caliber is my only obsession. And it's not about spelling. It never is. Caliber and Calibur don't sound the same. Everyone knows what is "caliber" or at least know that the meaning is attached to firearms. Gamers also know what is Soul Calibur. Not to mention pretty popular Excalibur legend. Yet someone, somewhere will always think that's a very good and logical idea to change one word for another. Don't know why that is the thing that so much gets on my nerves. I really don't. Maybe because (Ex)calibur and caliber are so apart in the meaning yet both are somewhat attached to weapons?

Cuz Devil May Cry is multiplatform this generation and Samanosuke made his appearance on the Xbox (1).

 

[proposition]

And Sigma is on PS3...

 

[XSamu]

And Sigma is on PS3...

Yeah now that you mention it, he could be a multi character, so now there's a balance.

 

[Mefisutoferesu]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what about a human scaled version of Jefuty?!

 

["God's Beard!"]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what about a human scaled version of Jefuty?!

what about a jehuty scaled version of jehuty?

also, I don't like how this topic makes SC seem like smash bros.

Check out this quote from the latest EGM:

"We've heard that some phenomenally popular saber-rattlers from a major film series may be joining the cast..."

Could we really see a PotC character landing on the 360? Or what about a Star Wars character? Gah, this opens up a whole new can of worms.

Hmmm... an interesting turn of events...

 

[a Master Ninja]

The guest characters are from "Pirates of the Caribbean", and had Pirates 2 and 3 never been made I might have actually liked the decision. Now we get to argue "Which console gets Jack Sparrow and which gets Davy Jones?". I'm thinking the PS3 gets Jack.

At least we have online play.

PoTC characters would be so lame.

 

[Chris Michael]

Grandpa Snake in PS3 SCIV

Solid Snake in SSBB

 

[a Master Ninja]

PoTC characters would be so lame.

And you know they are just going to be Raphael with a different skin.

 

[traveler]

And you know they are just going to be Raphael with a different skin.

That is exactly what I was worried about. However, Johnny Depp's style in the movies, if properly translated into fighting game form, would be a marked change from Raphael. Whether they actually do that or not is another question.

 

[Anyanka]

Speaking of the name always being misspelled, am I the only one who realizes the name Soulcalibur is one word?

 

[Green Shinobi]

And you know they are just going to be Raphael with a different skin.

Hopefully drastically nerfed from Soul Calibur 2. He (aside from Link in the Cube version) was the most ridiculously overpowered character ever. His attacks covered way too wide a range of space for the difficulty of their inputs.

 

[Manmademan]

And you know they are just going to be Raphael with a different skin.

Or Cervantes with a slightly different moveset. Remember, Cervantes is a pirate and has been around since Soul Edge.

maybe one of each. Jack= raphael variant, Barbossa= cervantes variant.

The EGM feature indicated there would be a number of "unused" movesets available for custom characters like in SC3, so maybe they'll go with a completely different style altogether?

anyway, a movie tie in to PoTC could work, but it would cheapen the series, IMHO. I'd rather see fighters from other series (a Ryu Variant, Dante, someone else from Tekken) show up.

edit:

Speaking of the name always being misspelled, am I the only one who realizes the name Soulcalibur is one word?

this is a recent change. it was 2 words for the last three installments.

Raph was bottom of the barrel in SC3.

No it wasn't. The sword in the stoy is Soul Calibur but the game title has always been Soulcalibur or SoulCalibur. Look at the trademarks, press releases and how they spell it in the game.

 

[segarr]

I want Spawn back for 360.

Regardless of how well he "fits" into the game, he was a good character with a decent story and was the only battle axe wielding character.

This time however, they should add his CAPE! And none of that "his axe is his cape" crap either.

If not Spawn again, then I'd like to see the Arbiter from Halo. Once again, screw "fitting in", it's a fighting game, and there is already a freaking lizard man! Just make sure the character has a good move set!

...he was a good character with a decent story and was the only battle axe wielding character.

In SCIII they replaced Lizzie's Gladius for a Battle Axe, even though his moveset remained very similar.

[Duderz]

I'd love to see Raikoh from Otogi. He'd be a perfect fit.

pirates and star wars are pretty good guesses given the hint.

That's mind blowing idiotic and I see that **** up 50% the time the game shows up, even on the games sites as news. Why? Why? Why the flying ****? What's so hard to remeber that the game is about ****ing sword fighting not shooting the ****ing guns! Where does this "caliber" come from? Seriously, most people look at the game see sword clashes and still have the ****ing urge to call it "caliber"? Calibur like, you know, ****ing EXcalibur - the SWORD. Can that make a bit more sense for those people, hmmm?!

Is calibur even a ****ing word?

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I hoping somebody from LOTR now.....

 

[a Master Ninja]

:lol :lol :lol
I love it.

 

[dark_chris]

Frodo.

 

[kamikaze]

could be, but i think the movies traveler initially guessed make more sense.

the lotr rights are pretty complicated (pretty sure the film and game rights are seperate) whereas lucasfilm has the film and game rights to star wars and disney has the film and game rights to pirates.
