What happened to this series?

Bump.
It had good characters, and was fun. but the lore got out of hand.
>Soul Blade/Edge
Lots of stupid shit but was overall a pretty good game, a nice start to the series.
>Soul Calibur
Fantastic game, fixed many of the problems with the first game and refined and expanded on many mechanics, looked absolutely amazing for its time.
>Soul Calibur 2
Horribly dumbed down version of SC1, focus on a "wider audience" gameplay depth was removed in favor of adding guest characters as a selling point, many bugs such as Gstep and 2G make this already painfully slow game even worse.
>Soul Calibur 3
HORRIBLE game received zero testing has even more bugs than SC2, completely unplayable mess. the Arcade Edition fixes most of these bugs and adds new characters.
>Soul Calibur 4
Fixed various problems with the series but added a retarded physics engine that had no place in a fighting game, this led to many infinite juggles and instant ring out combos.
>Soul Calibur 5
By far the best game in the series, goes back to its SC1 roots, ads depth and solid mechanics over stupid minigames, expands on many of the original mechanics, overall a great game.

I agree with this ranking

So what happened to the series?
>>339639139
Please kill yourself.
2>1 = BLADEEDGE = broken destiny = lost seords > 3 >>> 4=5
What happened to SC is simple: they tried to go the money route and failed.

This is bait
>>339639139
I have good memories from the campaign for sc3, making characters and travelling the world. I also liked scv, barebone but good. I really want a scvi
>>339638840
Tekken happened
>>339639495
0/10
Here's a petty (you)
>>339639139
fuck off, tourneyfag.
2 and 3 have the best single-player modes from ANY fighting game. 5 removed classic characters and had shit for single-player. 4 was okay, but just kinda retarded with the guest characters and redesigns.
3>2>4>5>1>0
>>339639139
nice copypasta nerd
>>339638840
It released the best game in the series in 2012 but they dropped all support in favor of Tekken
Then they did some F2P shit garbage trash shit feces
Then that ended and they suggested something else would eventually be done with the characters.
>>339639139
This is 100% accurate
>>339638840
Soul Blade was ok, SC1 was fucking fantastic for its time and even today.
they went downhill in gameplay, aesthetics, presentation, story, removing lots of content each game, soundtrack, overall game quality
desu the difference of quality since 1 and 2 is so big its not even a joke.
They could try to remaster Soul Blade or SC1,
just add pretty graphics, add some characters, dont touch the gameplay and the physics and done.

Didn't they release a HD version a few years back?
Soul calibur 3 for single player (that's the one you get like lesser weapons only for created characters, right)
Soul calibur overall
And V for versus mode and general multiplayer
