Lol how did it feel that Xbox got Spawn, PS2 and Gamecube owners?
>>321467760
spawn's a fucking edgelord faggot like you OP. heihachi was more fun to play
>>321467760
GameCube got link
i had more fun with link
>>321467760
I felt bad for them, since Link and Heihachi were much more interesting choices
spawn was the lamest out of the three. either way, he's available in the HD version for both PS3 and 360. i bought the gamecube version recently to try link and he was okay
>>321468593
Actually Spawn was the most interesting one because people wondered how Spawn would work in the Soul Calibur Universe and it worked.
>>321467760
It blows my mind that he was added specifically to advertise this piece of shit.
That said, I'd stab someone for a Spawn game with DMC combat.
>>321468919
anyone works. kratos and even the jedi guy were fine
>>321469046
Kratos worked better for Mortal Kombat
Spawn is fucking gay. Take your western superhero comic book trend outta here, you
"nerds" and "gamers"
>>321468936
That would undoubtedly be awesome. Hell, I'll take a Spawn game with GOW gameplay.
>>321469228
Lol Spawn was cool. Link and Heihachi were nerdy AF
>>321469378
There's already a Ghost Rider game like that, based on that shitty movie. It's surprisingly good.
>>321469937
You sure it was good? IGN gave it a 4/10 but yeah, I'm surprised their hasn't been a great Spawn game yet.
>>321467760
All 15 people who owned an XBOX were pretty stoked I bet.
>>321467760
It didn't bother me because Spawn fans were a laughingstock by then.
>>321470971
That's why the original Xbox was the most powerful console with internal memory.
I was shocked to learn anyone still liked or cared about Spawn after the 90's ended.
Yeah Spawn was really better than Zelda or Tekken
>Spawn
How does it feel knowing us Gamecube master race got Link?
>>321471148
I know it was pretty rad for those 15 people who owned it.
>>321467760
Felt bad. I was way into the Spawn Comics when we all played SC2 (I was 13-15).
I did some nostalgia-reading some year ago. Most Spawn comics are actually decent.
How was this guy?
Was he in any other soul caliber?
>>321471505
(cont) I got the gamecube version. Didn't like Link. Everyone spammed arrows and bombs with him. Really bad design imo. Heihachi was probably the most fun character.
>>321471446
Over 24 million were sold, that's alot in my book.
>>321471671
I remember him being somewhat imbalanced. He was very fast, had good close attacks and I think he had some medium to long attacks that worked well too.
But Kilik is still the overlord of all the SC-games so who cares...
>>321471356
Link was the shittiest character in the game so that wasn't much of a perk.
t.Gamecube version owner
>>321471671
No he wasn't, he was designed by Todd McFarlane (Spawn creator). He was really fun, if stupid.
>>321471671YOURTZ?
His ending is literally fucking off to obscurity.
Since he technically is owned by Todd McFarlane, no.
>>321471242
Why did Spawns popularity end so abrubtly though? I never understood that
>>321468936
but that game was fun..
spawn wasnt that bad a character, he had some cool lines I used him often but was always envious of link on the gamecube
also its a shame it doesnt look like there will be another SC game SC2 was my favourite
>>321468919
they gave him a stupid axe though that worked just like Yun-Seungs sword
>>321471954
Spawn is 90's edge comic trash.
Honestly Soul Cali bur 2 was one of the last good things Spawn was ever in.
>>321471671
this fucker has an infinite grab move and if you time it right there's no getting out of its range
>>321471671
His whole moveset was a mishmash of other character's movesand it was actually really fun and well-rounded.
>>321472125
Why wouldn't they make a SCVI?
>>321467760
But Link was the best bonus character by far.
>>321467760
Spawn was really op but not nearly as op as yoda
>>321467760
xbox has never had good exclusive content in multiplat games
It's a shame the HD port was fucking shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tasew_4PnCI
>>321471729
You misspelled 15.
>>321472358
He really wasn't and played like complete garbage. Heihachi was the best of the three.
>>321471954
Because after issue #100 or so, the quality takes a nosedive.
>>321472574
fucking hell how have you survived this long with such shit opinions?
>>321471954
The 90's ended. Todd McFarlane still has it going, but the sales are horrible.
Why the fuck was Heihachi even in the game?
Isn't Soul Calibur all about having a weapon?
>>321472237
but a lot of comics were edgy back then and they are all still here. I seriously don't get why a lot of that stuff just... "vanished"
>>321471937
They kinda sucked Todds dick back then? They should've gotten Angela though, she even looks like a Soul Calibur character
>>321470759

Dude, seriously, Link is fucking boring. They didn't even try to design him in a good way
>>321472521
>if I shitpost hard enough I'll look witty
>>321472821
Other comics that went full 90's like Spiderman Superman eventually went back to the more classic style plus they they had years of fans who would support it.
Spawn was a product of 90s and he died with them.
>>321472237
Probably the edgiest comic with a 90s flair I've read is Darkness. I think that's from the early 2000s, but holy shit is it the edgiest thing other there.
>mafia boss dont care about morals guy
>blood and gore everywhere just for the sake of having it
>that really messy awkward blend of cartoony and realistic that comics in the 90s all had for some reason

>>321472503
>hey anon are you sure there are no good exclusives?
>>321472516
What made it bad? I didn't even fucking know it existed until about a month ago.
I wish there was a highly populated SoulCalibur online again. Even if it was a weak point of the franchise I really miss how fun it was playing IV back when it was really popular. V was pretty good too, but it just has no soul.
>>321472664
Link was bottom tier and his moveset was boring as fuck. They tried to incorporate is various weapons, but failed to make his moves are decent.
Heihachi was by far the strongest of the three. It's a shame they never had an actual martial artist in SC. Would have been cool to see a brawler like character without stupid electric magic.
>>321473596
i would flog you 1v1 with link
>>321473484
>kinda dead online
>online is barebones, lacking
>removal of japanese VAif only for nobuyuki hiyama and daisuke gori
>music doesn't loop properly
How did Spawn even play? Did they ever incorporate his moveset in later games? If I recall, they broke Link's moveset up and made some of them into the CAS only movesets in 3 and then they took Kratos moveset and incorporated it into Lizardman in V
Fucking Ezio is the only good guest character SC has had. He fit in decently and had a great moveset. He was pretty mediocre tier wise, but tons of fun to use.

I just figured they would have done it by now, I havent heard anything about it
also the characters got a bit weird and i didnt like the OST as much after SC2, someone else summed it up when they said they lack soul
>>321472516
"You're pissing me off"
"Wanna die?"
"Suffer"

>>321472664
Link played like dogshit, his moves were unsatisfying outside of his running slash (I believe the input was 66+bA or something) and he generally just wasn't a good character.

Wish we could get a modeen version of pic related
I'm convinced SCV was made by a completely different team that had no experience at all with a 3D fighter or what people liked about the games
>all the new designs and outfits were complete shit
>character models showed hardly any actual improvement since IV
>stages were all washed out and mediocre with emphasis on shit colors like brown and grey
>pointless stage transitions
>everyone's movesets were gutted for no reason

>got rid of the classic parry mechanic for an awkward as fuck just defend system
>tacked on cinematic supers because muh 09er Fighter IV
>removed any feel of 3D movement. now it's just a 2D fighter with sidesteps like Tekken and DOA
>completely random emphasis on combos now that doesn't at all fit the style the games are going for
>music was the worst in the whole franchise
>CAS was still complete shit and since there was little to no content to the game it was all we had yet most of it was once again locked behind DLC
>still less face and hair options than MMOs from a decade ago
In return for trying to appeal to the tourneyfags they just made a game that didn't appeal to anyone
>Todd McFarlane was recorded in an interview saying that he talked to Netherrealm Studios about adding Spawn in MKX
>NRS said that they never even spoke to him
I feel like whenever I Spawn in anything nowadays that it's a desperate attempt for the character to stay relevant. And I mean character and not book because no one is going to read that shit.
>>321475295
He should just ride the Walking Dead cash while it lasts.
So which was a better character?
>>321477927
Vader
>>321479230
Vader was too slow imo. Yoda was quick and did combos
>>321479783
Lack of speed isn't really a hindrance in Soulcalibur so that's not really an issue. Vader was also the only one that saw a speck of tournament play.
>>321477927
I have no idea why they thought this was fitting or smart. I know Star Wars brings the bucks, but fuck me... Honestly, the only guest that worked was Ezio
>>321479948
Kratos was fine and I'm glad they repurposed his moveset for Aeon in 5, it really worked out well.
>>321473278
i heard the game was good, thoi heard this, i don't know this
>>321474789
Is that barbarian meant to be Astaroth?
>that unpronounceable name
>that weapon handling
>that vest
>that mecha wolf
>that fucking everything
Worst character in the series, right here.
Link was pretty fun to use
>would spam my friends with all of Link's projectiles
>Boomarang would always hit behind the head, leaving them open
>Arrows when they try to run
>Bombs, to set up a air spin
Everyone said link was bad, but my friend thought Link was OP
>>321480958
That's Rock bro
>>321481494
>Talking shit about Z.W.E.I.
That nigga is one of the biggest bros in the series. It was criminal how he was killed off and how weak he was in multiplayer because he was very cool mechanically and as a character. I imagine that the team had much more planned for him because he was basically the "cool older brother" to Patroklos.
>>321467760
perfectly fine, I had/have the PS2 version and I was happy with Heihachi.
Buuuuuuuut I would have preferred my man Sir Daniel instead.
and actually with the HD release, ive had fun with Spawn
>get the xbox version because I didnt have gc or ps2 at the time
>this Spawn guy
>that fucking attack where he launches himself into air and then strikes down
He seemed pretty overpowered overall as far as I recall. Last time I played this was like 2004.
I still play SC1 every year. Fucking Mitsurugi is fast there and not a slowass like in the next 2 games
>>321481947
As in the rhino guy?
>>321475147
https://youtu.be/WQFqPbims1E
>>321468936
I think he was more added because todd mcfarlane's company was making the action figures.
I know thats why Necrid was in the game, maybe thats why Spawn was the guest, that and the lacking of fitting characters on the xbox. maybe a Fable hero would have been cool
>>321482223
Yes, Rock was the original axe wielder before Astaroth, then Astaroth came along for Soulcalibur and Rock was a hidden character. Rock was gone entirely in 2 but Berserker used his moveset, then he was given a hammer in 3 and 4 before being dropped altogether in 5. It's unfortunate that Bangoo could not be in 5 in his place.
>>321472516
The interface looks so fucked up. How did they decide to replace all the fonts and graphics styles with shittier ones?
>>321467760
you mean that thing from the 90s that was for edgy faggots? I'm good with my ps2 and gamecube copies thanks...
>everyone thought Spawn would be in MKX
>lol no have Jason, Leatherface, and tarkatan Xenomorph
:(
Was Lost Swords supposed to have all the characters it teased in that initial image? Notable no-shows being Voldo and ZWEI.
Why does bamco hate this franchise so much?
>>321467760
>spawn in sc
>hbo spawn cartoon
>spawn figures

McFarlane is so fucking tryhard, I swear it's just that his name sounds vaguely cool that makes him any money at all.
>>321467760
I wanted Link
I got Link
I won
>>321484516
next Kombat pack brother
next pack :'(
>>321484630
His designs are good it's just spawn was killed by MCU capeshitification of super hero movies.
>>321484686
>>321484516
>movie fags over Fujin
Literally why
>>321484958
Or
>>321471671
he was one of, if not the favorite characters to play
>>321467760
pretty good because link, heihachi were better guest characters
as far as guest characters in the soul series go i'm more disappointed that the PSP version of SC4 got kratos while the console versions got stuck with star wars characters
>>321484784
All of those failures happened well before the MCU took off. Kinda seems like he didn't need the help.
>>321471729
24 million is much less than 155 million.

>>321475147
Actually, I think Odashima used to be a tournament player. And honestly, it's the best SC since 2. A lot of your points are debatable or entirely subjective.
>stages were all washed out and mediocre with emphasis on shit colors like brown and grey
You sure you're not talking about 4 there? That one looked like shit.
>pointless stage transitions
Except not really? They changed the layout.
>everyone's movesets were gutted for no reason
The reason was streamlining. 3D fighters have shitloads of useless moves. This was for the beginners.
>dropped characters from past games for no reason, especially considering the franchise was not suffering from any kind of bloat
It was for beginners, that was the reason. I don't think it NEEDED it, either. TTT2 has a much bigger problem by having 50+ characters, shitloads of clones and shitloads of moves. If you want decent results you have to memorize how to defend against all of the shitty chains everyone has but no one besides mashers use.
>got rid of the classic parry mechanic for an awkward as fuck just defend system
Guard Impact is still there, except this time it didn't leave you at a fucking disadvantage when you did it, like in 4. Also costed meter for being good.
>tacked on cinematic supers because muh 09er Fighter IV
But the new meter system, as a whole, worked. Sueprs were good, everything else was good. The strategy was there. It's really cool to play a SC game with some strategy that lasts the whole match, and not just a single round. I really appreciate the meter and guard break systems for that.
>removed any feel of 3D movement. now it's just a 2D fighter with sidesteps like Tekken and DOA
What? 8-way movement is still there, but with a command for special sidesteps.
>completely random emphasis on combos now that doesn't at all fit the style the games are going for
Which is funny because 3 and 4 had many problematic combos, too. At least 5's were all short, except for that one Viola infinite.
>>321482230
>jack of blades or that huge black guy in SC2
That would have been great
>>321475147
>>>all the new designs and outfits were complete shit
>>character models showed hardly any actual improvement since IV
>>stages were all washed out and mediocre with emphasis on shit colors like brown and grey
>>pointless stage transitions
I disagree but a lot of that shit is irrelevant
>>321475147
>>everyone's movesets were gutted for no reason
>>dropped characters from past games for no reason
This is untrue, they trimmed a lot of the fat that built up with the games which is fine. "Less is more". They fucked up by having 3 different mimics and leaving Talim, Zasalamel, and Yunseong in the dust.
>>got rid of the classic parry mechanic for an awkward as fuck just defend system
Guard Impacts were a fucking shit mechanic anyway and making them cost meter allowed them to be really strong while adding depth to meter management. Just Defend and Guard breaking rewarded smarter defense while not making defense as overwhelmingly powerful as it was in past games.
>>321487425
>huge black guy in SC2
?
>>321487560
Zasalamel?
>>321467760
well link sucks but dont care about others except old tekken man
sc2 yoshi best yoshi
>>321475147
>>tacked on cinematic supers because muh 09er Fighter IV
But supers were implemented pretty well for the most part and were also pretty concise
>>removed any feel of 3D movement. now it's just a 2D fighter with sidesteps like Tekken and DOA
Entirely incorrect, 8-way run still exists and was made better by allowing dashes in all directions
>>completely random emphasis on combos now that doesn't at all fit the style the games are going for
Incorrect because past games had them too
>>music was the worst in the whole franchise
That was SC4
>>CAS was still complete shit and since there was little to no content to the game it was all we had yet most of it was once again locked behind DLC
>>still less face and hair options than MMOs from a decade ago
CAS is a shit addition to the series and I want it gone entirely so what the hell ever.
>>321487715
SC3
>>321487715
he was in SC3 though
>>321487560
i'm talking about Thunder, a character from Fable, being a possible rep for the xbox version of SC2
>>321488178
possibly, but Jack seems better. Thunder was more of a side character
>>321488313
Soul Calibur 2 was actually released 2 years before Fable, so that explains why they didn't go with that route.
>>321488617
aww was it? ok
>>321471671
hes cool to me, hes "broken' but no one can give me a good fucking answer why
>>321475136
i remember thinking this was really fun and playing it a lot for a few months, but now i can't get back into it. haven't tried for a while, though.
