Soul Calibur IV... not as good as III... by a lot.

Jul 31, 2008 00:58

So, I admit, I'm not a good loser when I'm repeatedly smacked down in fighting games. Sure, fine, kill me here and there; heck, kill me more than I kill you... but if it's just constant beat down after constant beat down, I start to get pissed.

Right now, I'm pissed. And no, not at coldfury... even though I did have to leave the living room so I didn't ( Read more... )

The Apprentice is a Death Machine(tm), though. :D

Ha.

I only played against him once, but yeah, he's pretty lethal! (Kicked his ass anyway, though. ^_~)

Yeah, they messed with the controls for Mitsarugi on SC 3 from SC 2. They called it "Character Balancing". Evidently the devistating combos that were too hard to interrupt were too easy to pull off. Oh well, just have to get exact I guess.

Supposedly, Ivy was nerfed in SC 3 and is now back to the way the controls were in SC2, pre-nerf. (That's the talk on forums, not talk from the game designers.)

I'm calling bullshit on this hypothesis. Though, well, I was, again, playing on the PS2 instead of the X-Box then. Maybe that's what my whole issue is here!

It is a little strange... rune_karidan August 6 2008, 03:09:04 UTC

I was having similar controller issues but I have hardly played the X-Box on any games - gonna take a lot of practice to get used to it. I like the new girl Hilde, I think? We'll have to try out all their uber finishing moves sometime!
