It's been confirmed for release. Most of the original Soul Calibur characters have been confirmed for the game along with several new characters. Ezio from Assassin's Creed will be in it as a guest character. So, yeah, discuss.

Last I heard, the developers were interested in FF characters for guests. Assassin's Creed is a big step up from that IMO but I still can't say I actually care about that guest.
Oh well, the game certainly looks fun anyway, regardless of whether I like their choice of 3rd parties.

I think the guest stars are a really good way of attracting more people to become fans of Soul Calibur. I'm no Assassin's Creed fan yet I think Ezio will not only make a brilliant guest but will also attract AC fans to try out Soul Calibur. After all, Soul Calibur is an awesome game.

Yeah, I can understand that, as a dedicated Soul Calibur player, I am not really their target audience and you're right in thinking that he's a good choice to attract newcomers.
If it gets people I know into the game then I'll be happy but otherwise, it simply doesn't affect me.

What do you think of Viola? I'm expecting her to be majorly broken but a lot of fun to play as none the less.

She reminds me of Amy. They both have Amnesia which may hint that Viola is in fact Amy. But the whole magic ball and wolf thingy (Zwei's ability) seem too supernatural for Soul. Interesting nonetheless.

I don't know about Zwei but the ball seems in keeping with the whole soul wisp thing from SC3. I expect the ability to reliably hit in two zones at once (one with the ball, one regular) to be broken though.

Super excited for Ezio, and Nightmare gets most of his original character design back from SCII, which is awesome.

...where is Talim??? Why havent i heard any news about her being in the game??? *concern for my best character style*


Fact: Female players are usualy the best in fighting games. I played Marvel vs Capcom 3 for the 1st time, with zero knowlage on how to play, and absolutely destroyed my enemy with X-23 ;D

i still think Dante needs to be in a SC game, even though I dont play Devil May Cry, or the game it was originally intended to be based off of, Resident Evil. He is a great character in MVC3 and quite frankly, is an absolute badass. Kratos should be brought back too, even though he was already in a SC game.

My dream is to be in someone's lol Quotes in their sig

I didnt play 3. What was Tira like in that game?

The whole point of Tira acting like a child, and then acting like a psychopath is to be sexy. I have seen some "interesting" customs of her in SC4 on xboxlive...

As long as teenage boys play this game, the girls will continue to have sex appeal, whether it's Ivy's enormous boobs, girls just being 95% naked, or both. Frankly, i am not complaining lol

sorry to do this, but "awsome" is spelled "awesome" it was just bothering me. I swear I am not really carp about that stuff please do not hate me for it

X-23 isn't great really, but props to you for being a Zero player! (High five! Zero Players!)
Back to subject:
Ezio's looking awesome.
Nightmare's in his SC2 form = awesome.
Kratos should NOT return because he doesn't make too much sense and he was just over-powered. He spins around and it hurts you... like wtf?

hell its better than star wars characters. krados is technicaly an immortal god, and he is a badass. A long time ago in a galaxy far far away doesnt justify yoda...but it was hilariously funny to piss off people and have bigger characters unable to use standard attacks...of course seigfried using his stompy kick attack was pretty cruel to yoda, considering it was like stepping on a bugger colored slug with a lightsaber....i never played the SC game with Krattos, but i did hear he was cheap....

i disagree about x-23. her style of attack is quick and powerful. her defense is only decent but overall she is decently balanced. i will admit that while wolverine is more powerful and has better defense, x-23 can run circles around him when it come to speed. wolverine's speed is only decent too.

Ezio is just amazing. according to Assassin's Creed canon, he is technicaly dead durring the time period of SCV, but a statement from SCV's creators said that with the "power of the animus" he could exist, which is total bs, but agian, better than star wars.

Nightmare and Seigfried are still seperate correct? It doesnt appear to be the case, and it looks as if Nightmare and Inferno are still one being. I wonder how he got back his original costume? Either way I am very happyone day i hope to get a SC game were all past characters are included. and with ther wii u coming into play, maybe we can see link agian... =D

here some sc3 tira gamplay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiTlHKTFhYo all some of her phases are at 2:30. see she childish but not little kid childish insane physocpath childish but here phrases differ some of them are childlish others are very seriouse in fact they planed for tira to have a change mode thing like ivy with her whip blade and normal blade . but with tira her moves would change and here personality would to you could switch betwween the insane child and pure evil personalities of her but they didnt get time to add it

so in 3, she only had 1 attack style, but still the 2 personalitiy types? How did one change the personality types then? and it really had no impact on the battle? "Hmm...very mediocore...this won't do, nope nope."

I think 4's changes are appropriete. It shows how her split personality has progressed. besides, the more intesne insanity she has in 4 suits her better. her childish side is incredibly fcked up and a twisted version of child innocence, while her darker side is an extreme sadist 110% and incredibly depressing. Neither version of her now is like her before she was effected by soul edge, which empehises Soul edge's continued effect on her. And in Tira's case, more crazy = more sexy. Dont judge me, judge the producers. her joke weapon is a freakin hola-hoop...

Kratos should be brought back too, even though he was already in a SC game.

Kratos Aurion is way better, I want him!
Or atleast give us Lloyd in a real SC game .

Also, Cratos (the proper spelling of the God of War) was indeed cheap and annoying as hell.
Kratos may have angel wings like that jerk but atleast his primary fighting style doesn't involve knocking you down from a distance repeatedly like Cratos'.

EDIT: Ok, yes, I'm still sore about buying BD for Kratos and getting Cratos, so sue me.

You lost me. I was talking about the dude from
GoW. I didnt realize a C and a K would make a signifigant difference.

Either way, Ezio is going to be BOSS.

Both God of War and Tales of Symphonia spell the name the same way but I use the "C" to denote the god of war character since the original god the name comes from is spelt with a "C" and ToS Kratos has nothing to do with said god.

What?! Voldo, Yun-Seong, and Raphael are in the top 5! (I am a Voldo player if you are wondering)

Just to brutally disprove that quote:

SF4 Top Tier: Sagat, Akuma
SSF4 Top Tier: Guile
MvC2 Top Tier: Sentinel, Magneto, Storm (Okay, that's one)

Others to list but can't be bothered. You can see where I'm going here.

I prefer Amy to Raphael, and I liked Raphael better in 2 than 4. he is so much creepier now, like WTF hapened to him? Voldo is certiantly a creepy (but effective) guy, and Yun-Seong is a well balanced character with nothing overly special about him, which isnt bad though.


Yatagarasu: I can agree with SOME of those, but not all. Especialy the MVC2 list, and I dont play SF enough to know about top tiers. All I really know is that Hadoken is the Kamehamea of SF and that some of the characters fight way to similarly...

Being a Maxi/Yun-Seong/killik player...i like speed so I am hopeful for Ezio. I actually suck with femme characters because I am to distracted by.....them half the time.....lol anyway this will be a decent if not good buy.

Haha..
Well on the subject of Female and Male characters the S-Tier for SCIV is:
Hilde
Amy
Kilik
Voldo
Algol.

As far as I can remember at least. So that's pretty equal.

Sorry what? It's official and clearly obvious that those characters are top tier in MvC2. There's no questioning it.

I'm 100% sure this thread is not about MvC2.

100% sure.
