I have SCIII and I suck, but my brother is pretty good.

 

[Error404]

I'm a 'Rugi/'Suka God.

But my real talent lies in Guilty Gear XX Reload.

 

[the0silent0alchemist]

who...

 

[Neonite]

I used to play SC3 all the time with my friend, but since he moved away, I haven't played it as much.

I don't have a PS3, though, so I don't think I can get the next one. I do wonder how they're going to explain lightsabers not cutting through wood and steel. XD

 

[the0silent0alchemist]

yeah in the trailer they show darthvader crossing swords with mitsurugi and i mean u know swords pushing against each other.. then again u see a rapier not being bent over double by seigfreids sword and members of the guind pointed out that ivy's sword would be structurallty unsound.

 

[Neonite]

Not to mention how Siegfried has moves that impale his sword through his opponent, and not only do they get up after it, one of his post-battle speeches is "I avoided your vitals. You'll live." XD

I think that there's also a fact that scythes aren't very practical weapons, though Zasalamel uses one very effectively.

It's all Willing Suspension of Disbelief, anyway.

I wanna play as Darthvader's apprentice! It would be cool if Kratos is in the PS3 version but its just a rumor and i don't have have a ps3....

It also kinda sucks that you won't be able to play a Yoda vs Vader match.

 

[LilRabbit]

I played Soul Calibur II as well. Ivy was my most used character... I could use her perfectly.

Didn't play Soul Calibur III as much because I personally never owned it but my brother did. I will be getting SCIV though for my PS3... its gonna be sweeeeeet.

 

[the0silent0alchemist]

scythes can be used well.. and zasalamel shows how it can be used.. character found annoying was ivy actually.

one thing i always thoght about was, if you could replace each SC3 character with an anime character who would fit the best, mostly basing on weapon and tequenique.
to start

zasalamel: kamatari from rurouni kenshin
ivy: ababrai renji from bleach
setsuka, himura kenshin (kenshins style uses battojutsu alot..)
taki: shinamori aoshi
talim: okina (aoshi's former master, also rurouni kenshin)
cervantes: maybe roanora zolo from one-piece (multi sword wielding pirate)
seigreid (deciding between ichigo from bleach, cloud from FF and inuyasha)

the two main ones i cant think of a counterpart for are maxi and tira (yet to see any anime characters that use nunchuku, or a razor ring wielder
any comparsons u wanna make be my guest

 

[Neonite]

Replacing SC3 chars with anime characters?

Sophitia and Cassandara could be replaced with Kratos Aurion and Zelos Wilder from TOS, at least, weapon and style-wise. XD

 

[the0silent0alchemist]

could work.. like for seong mi na ive got ikkaku madarame from bleach, his zanpakuto hozukimaru forms a guandao/nagnata weapon whch splits into a three section staff

but do those guys use sheilds cuz remember the sheild is integral to their style

Xianghua: Syaoran Li from cardcaptor sakura

can anyone think of someone who uses nunchuks in anime ah finally found it.. its a stretch but im making an exception because shes anime enough.. selphie fro FFVIII

for tira we have fujin from FFVIII as well, only her chakram is enlarged..

mitsurugi: hiko seijuro, kenshins teacher.

 

[the0silent0alchemist]

so noone likes soul calibur... oh ok
