I spent most of it playing Soul Calibur III with sarah and vinny. /cry I played Soul Calibur 2 the other day. Hadnt played in a few months, but I still dominated. Somehow it was easier to melt faces with Ivy than Nightmare even though he was my main. Shes still hot too. |

I'm starting to figure out which character I'm going to use as my main. I don't remember her name yet, but she's the one with the polearm. I'm getting pretty good. I block more and I'm trying to use combos more, but it'll be a while before I'm any sort of real competition for Will.  |

Seung Mina, I think. Yeah, blocking is good. Back when I was noob, I was all like "well the best defence is a good offence, I dont need to block." Now I know better  I've always liked Soul Calibur because of the diversity of the weapon experience. In most fighting games, its just fists and feet, and the only differences between characters are slight and generally relied on special button combos (back back forward punch!). Soul Calibur is great (to me) because each person has similar (but still altered) basic attacks, and from there each character goes in vastly different directions. I will hate Taki untill the end of existence. |

I will hate Taki as well, but I will absolutely abhor Voldo until the third apocolypse.  Yeah, punching and kicking game characters are different for two reasons: combos and that girl characters are always weaker.  |

Voldo usually fell easily to the might of Soul Edge. . . Taki was a different story. She cheats.
Girl characters weaker? Hmmm. . . I'll take your word for it. Not familiar enough to be able to point out evidence supporting or disproveing.

I hate Voldo because he is so obscenely repulsive. |

I will hate Taki untill the end of existence. In Soul Calibur III, one of the new characters, Setsuka, is worse then Taki. Arrgg... Also, Siegfried gets almost all of nightmare's old attacks. Nightmare gets an entirely new fighting style, he uses the Phantom Soul Edge one-handed (The new soul edge is a bit smaller). Nightmare is much faster, Siegfried has better reach and damage. So nightmare dosn't have as big a problem with fast characters as he did in Soul Calibur II. |

But Nightmare doesn't look as powerful/cool when he fights anymore, imo.  The girl with the steel hoop has awesomely flashy attacks. Whether or not they do much damage, I don't know, but since it's all gymnastic types of moves it looks really sweet.  |

Tira is unfortunatly rather weak. Even if she's pretty fast, she dosn't combo well at all, and she does poor damage, AND she has rather short reach.
And I like Nightmare's new fighting style... its not quite as brutal but he still has some cool attacks. I'd really love to be able to play as him, but every time I do, I try to use old nightmare's attacks reflexively...

if you don't mind my butting in...I actually found Tira to kick all sorts of ass...I destroyed people with her...and contrary to that as well, for me, she combos beautifully...but that's just me
Setsuka on the other hand...she for me was just hard to handle...she fought with what could be called iaido (think battou-jutsu, quick-draw swordsmanship)...my cousin though, who is a genius at all things video games (he beat all the Time Crisis booths at an arcade while I was in Indonesia while he was talking on a cellphone and drinking a soda...without dying at all), used her exceptionally well...to the point where it actually looked like a samurai film- a few shot swings and fast strikes...and done. I don't know how he did it, but she was a killing machine in his hands...it was just that nobody else was able too afterwards...
my favorites are probably Mitsurugi, Raphael, Seung Mina, and Tira...
also, my other cousin and I did an East Meets West string of duels that pitted Myself as Raphael and him as Mitsurugi...which was awesome- those were probably my best battles...the end results were that I won three, lost two, and tied three...that was way cool.

I love the look of Rapheal's fighting style, I always have. In Soul Calibur II, I hated him, just because he was hard to fight. I was also trying to learnt o play as him, and he's rather difficult... so many stances (like, four preperations, for example?) In SCIII his fighting style is simplified but he isn't weaker (Only two preperations, for example). However, the AI REALLY sucks with Rapheal, so he's really easy to beat for me, just becaus ethe AI can't use him.
Also, in the Arcade version, they added Amy as a full character. I hope she's a full, standard character in SCIV. She's pretty cool, for a little goth girl.
Tira, I can't get to work. I've been trying a bit... I want to use her, I like her look and style (I seem to simultaneous hate and like goths...). Rapheal I've been messing with, Siegfried, and thats about it. I play around with Yoshimitsu sometimes, but just for fun, 'cause he's so wacky.

Yoshimitsu is very self-destructive, and I don't mean on purpose either. He goes to jump at me, and he jumps over the side of the ring. He seppuku's to try and hit me, and he does, and he nearly kills me, but he kills himself instead because he seppuku'ed. What a friggin' weirdo. |
