tell me, /v/.
which soul calibur is the best?
That one.
3
The one that i loved most is Soul calibur 3.
Soul Calibur V
>>332221919
>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.
SC1 and 2.
>>332222228
I've seen this exact post multiple times, it's pasta.
Soulcalibur 1 and 2 was the series at it's prime. I'm not a big fan of the direction the series took with 5.
>>332224325
SC 2 Astaroth was the best. In 5 he's not as intimidating and all his cannibal suggesting quotes are very stupid and sound sexual. I am also not a fan.
>>332221919
>>332224325
>>332224272
Are we talking about which is best in terms of nostalgia? If so SC2.
But in terms of gameplay, the later games do have some improvements. I think people are unable to be objective.
>>332224325
>Soulcalibur 1 and 2 was the series at it's prime
lolno.
You would have to be a retarded casual who knows absolutely nothing about fighting games to actually believe that.
>>332224325
>Its been posted more than once so that makes it somehow false
Holy shit you are retarded.
>>332224786
It's been posted multiple times word for word, even when people have pointed out parts that were wrong they tend to get no-replies, meaning the poster isn't actually bothering with the replies so it's not worth responding to.
Not even them, just writing a blogpost to say you're full of shit
>>332225067
>parts that were wrong
Such as?
ill wait.
the one you got right there, friend
>>332221919
>not posting best version
At least we can all agree that 2 had the best GI system
>>332221919
That one. Mitsurugi was at his rugi-est
For me, Soul Calibur. Fixed a majority of issues with Soul Edge and was fast and fun.
>>332225445
Despite SC3 having the huge glitch list copypasta, there's nothing but silence whenever I ask which non-cots glitches they managed to re-create when not actively trying to emulate it.
SCV completely gutted movesets, including Mitsurugi's relic stance which is vital for some of his best combos and strings in the previous games
And last but not leastSoul Calibur Legends isn't mentioned
>>332226175he did
>>332221919
i liked 4. Character customazation was actually really good
>>332221919
You posted it.
>>332226806
>Despite SC3 having the huge glitch list copypasta, there's nothing but silence whenever I ask which non-cots glitches they managed to re-create when not actively trying to emulate it.
HAHAHAHAHAHA are you fucking kidding me, Variable cancel is an extremely well known and easy to exploit glitch that makes the game absolutley unplayable for anyone who has spent more than 20 min on the game.
Fucking hell just go to 8way run and ask about variable cancel.
Just how much of an absolute clueless casual are you?
>SCV completely gutted movesets
SCV didnt "gut" anything, the move lists were bloated with useless moves since SC3/4, SC5 returned the characters to what they should have been.
>Mitsurugi's relic stance which is vital for some of his best combos and strings in the previous games
lolno Mitsurugi is high tier in SCV, what the fuck are you smoking?
>Soul Calibur Legends isn't mentioned
No one cares about your baby nintoddler shit that's not even a fighting game.
>>332227762
linkorz?
>>332227762
>Sure they got rid of some of Mitsurugi's best moves but Dindu Nuffin!

CaS actually gets better for 5, clothes aren't attached to stats anymore and you have a lot more creative freedom
>>332228315
>Lost his "best moves"
>Better now than he has ever been
Your casual is showing.
>>332228748
Better in comparison to who he's up against, you could put a blind one-legged cripple in a tennis match against a dead guy, just because the cripple would come out on top doesn't mean he's any good, or better than he would be with two legs/vision
>>332229073
All you are doing is reinforcing how much of a casual you are and how little you know about the game.
>>332229296
Says the person who tried to compare tier lists for separate games
>>332226175
Idk who spawn is but he had a cool axe
>>332229464
dude from a comic series
>>332229459
You can totally compare tier lists from separate games, what's your point?
>>332229459
Do you even understand the words you are saying at this point or are you just throwing round words you saw other people use?
>>332221919
V is objectively the best. The only people who say 2 is better are underage cuckolds, pandering to nostalgia who really need to go to reddit
>>332229630
Not entirely, if somebody was high tier in T6, but got moved down because of all the top row characters in TTT2, that wouldn't mean the character is worse than they were in T6, just that their competition is better in TTT2, so it really doesn't necessarily work when it receives a major shake-up, which it did between IV and V
>>332230050
>>332224650
SC2 was a better competitive game than SC5.
>You would have to be a retarded casual who knows absolutely nothing about fighting games to actually believe that.
Did I strike a nerve?
Is there any possibility VI will be announced this year?
>>332229883
If we're going to count bugs and glitches into the ranking, 5 is just above the original 3.
2 is the best gameplay wise. 3 had the most content. Everything after 3 has been mediocre, since they moved away from the mechanics introduced in the earlier games.
>>332221919
2 & 3
2 has the best quest mode. It was also the most fun to play with friends. 3 kind of ups the challenge modes and its fun with single player. The character creator is pretty funny.
>>332222228
it's all true, I also love how this makes casuals sperge out and make idiots of themselves every time it's posted. Like moths to a flame.
>>332221919
Soulcalibur V
>>332226806
>SCV completely gutted movesets, including Mitsurugi's relic stance which is vital for some of his best combos and strings in the previous games
Mitsurugi is one of the strongest characters in 5, Relic isn't that damn vital to how he plays, his core playstyle hasn't changed at all.
>>332230647
Maybe after Tekken 7 is finished.
Maybe.

Said no one ever.
>>332230875
Money.
After the abomination that was 3, they had to cushion themselves financially somehow and ended up making an even shittier game.
>>332230971
Well I clearly just said it so I guess that makes you incorrect.

Your casual is shwoing
I got the fastest completion time on a particular SC2 arcade machine by just mashing heavy attack constantly as Nightmare.
Just bought SCV yesterday and had a lot of fun with it so far, really neat game.
I'm completely casual to 3D fighters though (I'm an SNK guy) and haven't played Soul Calibur since the Dreamcast one.
What's with the mixed views on this game? I've seen many claim it's shit and "ruined the series forever"
>>332231194
But anon, you are a nobody.
SC1 wasn't perfect but it was the most playable of the old games
SC2 was glitchy and horribly unbalanced
SC3 took everything SC2 did wrong and amplified it while adding new bad shit on top of it corrupting memeory cards
SC4 added the infamous Hilde doom combo, whole game was STANCE CALIBUR and it ruined a ton of characters
SC5 is the best from a competetive standpoint for it's intended audience (fighting game players), while rightfully (finally) giving the finger to the button mashing RPG mode casuals who don't even really care about the series seriously.
what does it smell like
>SC2babbies and SCVautist bickering as usual
Fuck you guys. When will they bring THIS treasure back?
Best soul calibur design coming though
>>332230647
Probably after Tekken 7 gets released on Consoles.
Despite being a community mess SCV still sold quite a lot, the series isn't dead in terms of being elegible for more games.
>>332231338
same to you
>>332231338
No need to project yourself, I understand.
Reminder SC3 was objective dog shit

I remember faggots harassing Namco's Soul Calibur official account on Facebook on the girls having lewd DLC costumes. No wonder trailers for the lewd costumes were all upload on Bamco's japanese Youtube account.
>>332230971
Actually, SC2 was very popular at competitions, which was why the bugs that existed are so well documented, since they effectively killed the scene.
It was a real shame, but getting a competitive player to not abuse glitches is damn near impossible, look at wave dashing.
>>332231310
Shit single player content (aside from customization)
Shitty new characters that replaced the perfectly fine old ones
That's all I can think of, SCV is the best in series other that
>SC4

Viola as a whole had a greater impact than anything you mentioned and had an infinite that had to be banned. There is a reason SC5 isn't played anymore either, comp SC2 lasted a lot longer.

What is there to discuss? It's always the same gay shit with you people.

How do you people even come off calling yourself fans when you drop the game the instant it doesn't pander to your scrub ass?
>>332233068
3 was pretty dogshitexcept for the girls]but the first two were fine, hell SC2 had a healthier scene than V does now.
The only thing I disliked about 2 were the guest characters. So many shitters who bought it just for Link.
>>332232908
Guaranteed punishes after GI would have been fucking lame.
Maxi wasn't even a good character, without stance cancel he would have been a lot worse.
>>332222228
you keep posting this but it doesn't make it true.
Soul Calibur 5 is an abomination
>>332231310
The original fans of the series dislike how it further moves toward "fighting" game homogeny by focusing more heavily on combos and bar. People who mostly play street fighter (which is the only real "fighting" game as far as they're concerned) like that it plays more like street fighter.
At this point, the latter will probably have the most influence on how the next game sells. SF5 is a shit show, and while Bamco has pretty shitty business sense even they can see a bunch of disgruntled addicts looking for a fix. Tekken doesn't draw them in as much since it has it's own set of mechanics that change frequently making the strategies most of them use obsolete from game to game, but Soul Calibur has been "lost in the woods" design wise for years and with the last entry catering more towards them AND selling better than the originals it is easy pickings.
If you enjoy 5 that is great, 6 is going to be VERY similar if Bamco is aiming to line their pockets.
>>332233609
>People who mostly play street fighter (which is the only real "fighting" game as far as they're concerned) like that it plays more like street fighter.
Said no one ever.
>>332233710
Obviously you do if you are so quick to reply about it
>>332233604
you keep scrub raging like a button masher, it doesn't make your worthless opinion right.
>>332233609
>6 is going to be VERY similar if Bamco is aiming to line their pockets.
Didn't 5 tank? Same with SF5. If they want to line their pockets they need to drop the competitive assholes who only think they're the prime market for this shit
>>332221919
1 & 2 are great.
3's booty
4's okay. Jedi are broken.
5 has the best gameplay, but sucks in every other aspect.
>>332234089
The only one raging here is you. Why is it that every time a hardcore player is backed into a corner he just cries CASUAL or BUTTON MASHER
>>332234150
>Didn't 5 tank?
It literally sold more than Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
It tanked with fan reception, which Bamco doesn't give a fuck when the game sold enough.
>>332234573
>tfw both SC5 and DOA5 outsold TTT2
>tekken put on fucking blast finally
too bad namco will continue to shit on soulcalibur and give tekken it's budget while given SC less than a year's dev time.
>>332231453
> not using SC2 or 3 designs
get the fuck out
>>332233609
Are you SERIOUSLY fucking implying Soul games never had combos?
How in the world of fuck is SCV anything like SF?
Seriously stop talking its blatantly obvious you are a casual who knows jack shit about the series.
Looks like the SC3 autist got thorougly ravaged by the SC5 fag.
Nice job
>>332234854
>not liking the uber sexy quartz sword
IV was objectively the most aestheticly pleasing of the series
i played Soul Blade, 1 and 2 in the arcades exclusively.
the problem with 2 is definitely Kilik among other balance issues.
after that, every single person in real life forgot Soul Calibur existed. i couldn't get anyone to play it and i stopped playing console games.
they never ported it to PC, so basically it died to me.
>sitting in the arcade playing conquest mode
so fucking fun.
>>332221919
I STILL boot this game up and fap to taki in

shoutouts to dolphin for 1080p

I played 5 and thought it was head and shoulders above 4. That being said, 5 was obviously rushed as evidenced not just by the lack of content but also by its several bugs and glitches. While most of them are harmless, you can be damn sure watching people run through attacks because QA missed a hitbox left a sour taste in my mouth.
Luckily I never encountered any of them in online play but it is really hard to get other people interested in a game when a weapon clash sends a character flying into the stratosphere only to descend nonchalantly in a crouching position. It was a good laugh but nobody took it seriously after that.
>all this hatred for 3
Soulcalibur was never meant to be a competitive fighting game: the story and single-player experience were always the priority.
Keeping this in mind, SC3 had:
>Chronicles of The Sword
>Campaigns for every character with multiple route + endings
>a larger variety of move sets for characters
>a plethora of secret bosses and challenges
Soulcalibur 3 was everything you could ask for in a Soul game.
5 is the best and I say this as a man who's very first waifu ever was Sophitia from Soul Edge/blade.

Here's one. I guess the position the flung character descends in is based on the other players inputs? It only happened once and didn't end in a ring out, but that was enough.
Now if only there had been bugs in the CaS. Would've enjoyed playing as some bobble-headed monstrosity.

Neo-/v/ is fucking real
3 was bad.
5 was the best mechanic wise.
Say what you want about the others.

>>332240882
>Being a filthy casual needs to be a bannable offense on this board
90% of the board, including mods would disappear if that was the case.
>>332238843
The hatred for 3 is solely because of the glitches. It easily had the best content and largest movesets.
Why the fuck anyone would completely remove jumping and while landing movesets in 4 is beyond me.

Lack of support.
>Tales of Souls and Chronicles of the Sword were neat ideas
>tfw the gameplay is complete garbage
All they had to do was make the gameplay good. They had just one fucking job.
>>332245654
It just never caught on. 3D fighters are already more unpopular in general, and you need a franchise like Tekken to really drive sales.
Europe (especially France) have some pretty big scenes but that's about it. And like >>332245812 said it doesn't help that Scamco has ignored it.
It doesn't help that casual fucks literally only care about CaS
i love soul calibur but im kinda glad its dead.
the time period they tried to set the game in made less sense every game.
>>332245654
sc4 netcode wasn't so hot, and the game needed patches. sc5 sucked hard.
