SoulCalibur V (PS3/X360) Discussion

[Kaneco]

So you're making his point now that the design gone downhill?

I never agreed with the thought 'they've gone downhill'...I'm just stating what it seems to be.

I could care less if Ivy has more or less clothes on, but she's clearly representing what she's supposed to be a 'Dominatrix'

They just stepped it up in the Design of SCIV.

SCIV's & SCV's design comparison.



As you can see she's not as revealing, it's kind of a mix of her SCII's 3P costume with SCIV's 1P Costume.

Here's her 2P Costume which was by Designed by Bayonetta's concept designer.



hmm, I think he also designed Leixia's (Xianghua's replacement) & Viola's (Amy?) 1P Costumes.

So how is the netcode, compared it to SCIV and SSFIV.

Can you tell us what story mode is like? Is it just text and a map with regular fights or did they make an effort like Tekken 6 or MK and have story cutscenes?

The story mode has quite a few cinematic cutscenes here and there, but a lot of them are towards the end of it. It's mostly a story-board with illustration and voice-overs in the background between every chapter which is set in a map as to where you'll be heading with a short description about the story. Honestly, the story is a little mediocre but not bad at all and I think it's a step in the right direction. They've also done away with the individual endings for every character in an esque-Arcade mode (mostly non-canon) in this entry. I would say it's more like Tekken 6 how they handled it, but a little less refined. MK still has the best developed concept of how to do Story mode in a fighting game, and I doubt that's ever going to change in the near future...not until Japanese fighting developers get the hint.

The netcode of the game is the really big highlight, and let me tell you it's nothing short of Amazing! One of the best 3D fighting netcodes I've ever experienced...it surpasses SCIV by miles apart, I also do dare say it surpasses SSFIV and even Tekken 6's (post-patch) netcode. Every match feels smooth even at 3/5 bars!

The lack of story mode for each individual character has killed this game for me.
I have no interest in playing online and I've already cleared that short story mode.
My opinion turned from this being the best SoulCalibur besides Soul Blade to a pretty sour feeling.
They fixed everything that made SCIV shit and then got rid of the best mode in Soul Calibur.
I don't care about Pat or Pyrha - granted it was a good story, I expected more...
I want a story mode full of the adventures of every characters involvement with Soul Calibur and Soul Edge.
Find out more about Viola and Z.W.E.I, what about Xiba, Leixia and Natsu. :/
The game didn't even explain in-game who they were or why they had the others weapons and style.
belgh, seemed so rushed... disappointing.

I'm not sure if anybody is interested in this thread or game anymore but...here's one of my several replays.

My EVO Moment!!!

I made such a big comeback in Round 5.

I just wanted the return of the Edge Master type of mode, from what I can see this doesn't offer that.
