Soul Calibur 1 was a masterpiece. Too bad the series hit such a drop off past 3

But this is a pretty good time for fighting games in general so I can't complain even if I do want a new (good) Soul Calibur

This, had crap offline content with crappy characters but the gameplay and netcode was the best in the series by far.

But seriously, why the hell was SC5 so budgeted? It makes no sense since SC4 sold modestly well.

I mean I have no idea why Namco thought it was a good idea to make SC3 a PS2 exclusive when SC2 for the GC sold the best.

Ah, I read over pretty quickly and saw someone talking about the first one.

The series is definitely underrated, though. I just wish Bamco would get its shit together.

Soul Calibur is great. I actually liked 5 a lot.

Hope they come out with 6 and that Namco actually gives the team time to really polish it.

Oh I thought she was a SC character I didn't know about. I haven't played BlazBlue, but I probably should since it's still big at Evo.

I honestly thought it was... until SC5. That one messed things up and when Soul Calibur Lost Swords came, it destroyed everything.

I just really hope Bandai Namco can somehow restore it's former glory in a new Soul Calibur game one day...

What does everyone else itt want them to do with the next SC? I would like for them to reboot the story like MK9 did, though most of what I like about MK9's reboot was using a lot of the characters from the first three MK games in the roster.

If we ever get another one I think the only things we'd be guaranteed to get is Nightmare, character creation, and...Mitsurugi? 5 was just missing so many characters that I wouldn't think they'd leave out.

I agree, they probably should reboot the series because most people do no like the new replacements. I mean besides Sophitia's crappy children, I believe the rest of the cast could've been more received better if they actually had incorporated their characters better in the story and gave them backstories in game rather than having us find out about them online.

And I honestly wouldn't mind a Weapon Master mode (like SC2) using our custom characters in conjunction with an online with the same gameplay mechanics as SC5. That would be a dream come true in my opinion.

SC 2 was the flagship game that really brought Soul Calibur series mainstream in my opinion, mostly because of the guest characters (Link being the biggest even though he looks creepy as fuck). But honestly playing the actual game, there was so many balance issues that it's really hard now to play competitively. Some moves were beyond useless while some movies ended up doing way too many good things that you end up seeing tournament matches spamming certain moves because of good damage output as well as it being safe. SC5 fixed this, but also made defensive play just as important as going full on rush down with the perfect defense by pressing the guard button at the right time.

All the guest characters were trash tier unfortunately (they didn't put a lot of effort in their movesets), but Link was super fun to play as compared to Heihachi and Spawn. The only thing Link had going for him was his throw had a really high ring out rate.

Sure thing, if you're interested in playing SC2 competitively, the 360 has a SC2 HD version that is still being played at some EVO events. It has Spawn and Heihachi, but doesn't have Link due to licensing reasons sadly. I unfortunately don't have a 360, but I did own the Xbox, PS2, and GC (so yes, i literally bought the game 3 times to play 3 separate guest characters. I wasn't very smart with my money back then lol)

I also want a Reboot. MK9 was the best thing to happen to MK (first good game in over 10 fucking years).

They don't even have to tie the story in, but they could do a time travel cop out. I much prefer just starting over.

Also don't make Raphael a stupid fucking vampire.

And stop with the fucking guest characters.

No other game elicits such simplistic joy as SC when you ring someone out and you jump off as well to follow them.

Too many fighting games don't let you move once a round is decided.
