It's more react to moves. There are pretty awesome combos, but you can see them coming from a mile away and just dodge or block them. If you play a good player there might just be 20 seconds of block, counter-attack getting blocked, counter-attack again getting blocked.

If both players know their shit you really have to work to get hits in, it's awesome.

I'll take this baby online once it's officially released so that I can be on the safe side. I bet I'll be annoyed after 3 fights though because all the xbox kiddies will just choose yoda and the apprentice.


Exactly

It's all about timing , defense and counter attacks. If you come at me swinging like a drunk sailor chances are that you're going to get pwned rather quickly. Most noobs just try to button mash thinking that it will work but it doesn't even against a C level player (and by C level i mean who knows some basic techniques but still far from a pro)

I am getting this game in a few days since right now i'm too busy moving stuff (changing appt) and man i can;t wait to rape people online with Cervantes. Now i just hope that they haven't dumbed him down or that lag will be a factor. Timing i everything and a high ping could just fuck everything.

Cervantes is also pretty amazing. All his moves are identical to Shura.

If you had played the old ones you'd know its the other way round. Cervantes is the original, Shura is just a reskin of him.

What the hell are you talking about?
Im playing this sucker without ethernet cable, and as far as im concerned im not banned and probably will not, since I've tried this little stunt with both GRID & AITD.


bugs as in it makes me sad that I had to wait As in I don't have a modded box because I like Live to much (even if it costs me a whole woppin ..$5? /month...I mean, that's my cheeseburger budget right there!! Sad (lol)

Anyway, local play is fun too, but when I'm stuck at home while my buds are at work, I might as well play online right? What the hell else am I gonna do? Play solo in a fighting game? Lol Very Happy

hehe yeah, I remember your ROD just before some big game. Anyway, friggn hot here now (to be Norway) so don't know how much I should play :\

But this game is just so much better than DoA series and tekken series. I knew Soulcaliber was a big name, just never knew what kind of game it was. Now I know ^^

What floor are you guys on?

Haha yes I forgot which game it was. My xbox is still not 100% fixed. It always overheats when I play GTA for 30 minutes (at any room temperature). But I can play any other for over 6 hours with no problem lol. But the slightest change in thermal paste results in -30 or +30 minutes of GTA playtime. Ive been constantly trying to figure this problem out for about a month now. Im actually doing a GTA test as Im typing this right now. So far its been 42 minutes. I think Im geting close!Very Happy

But back on topic here, this game is truly awesome. And I just love the character creation. Theres only one thing that I dont like; they wont let us give custom characters a light saber Sad

There's no doubt that they'll be released as DLC, there's an empty spot next to the exclusive character. The question is when, not if.

Wow. Just wow. Why didn't anyone warn me you have to be Japanese to play this fuckin shit?

1. Whoever it was that told me that this game isn't about combo's but more blocking - sorry, but bullshit. There's no way to block the onslaught of button spam and most the special combos are unblockable.

2. Fastest button spammer always seems to win. Nobody plays the slow lumbering characters because they simply don't stand a chance. In the hundred or so matches I played today 90% of the people were Kilik, Mitsasomething, and Voldo. So much for character balance.

Seriously, this thing controls like garbage Sad

If anyone wants to buy the PS3 version, I'm willing to part with it for $30 USD if you pick up the shipping. Brand new, only played about 8 hours.

What utter fucking garbage. Last time I ever buy a fighting game made by the Japs. Everything is overblown to the point of ridiculousness, not to mention the strange pedophile vibe that comes across with most of those little girl females in dresses. What the fuck? Sad


I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

It's a screen from the french version. Darth Vader is actually Dark Vador here in France.

Do you have to break every piece of armor as well as have the Soul Gauge flashing on your opponent before you can perform a criticl finish?
I've tried to pull them off with just the saul gauge flashing red, but it won't work

You have to break at least one actually. I think you also have to perform a guard break move just before you pull out the critical finish... I'm not 100% sure about the guard breaker though, but it's the only way that seems to work for me.
Great game! I'm loving it!! Very Happy

It's a one hit kill, of course it's ridiculously hard to pull off!

Lol I agree. Why change Darth to dark? Darth is his name and its a noun. Dark is an adjective.

But, now it'll take so long til you can perform one, that your opponent will be pretty much dead anyway.

It's not a name, rather a title. There were many Darths in SW Universe. Darth Sidious, Darth Maul. Could have been a popular name, on the other hand Rolling Eyes

I might be remembering things wrong, but didn't Lucas originally intend Darth to be Vader's first name rather than a Sith title? I remember reading something like that ages ago, tho can't find a link to confirm that just now. Might have something to do with the name change.
