I only lurk this thread for SoulCalibur.

It looks okay. Mixed feelings of Groh, mainly because I hated the SC5 characters so much. The others look alright.

It's not just that, Xianghua and Kilik look like they play like traditional versions of themselves. Groh, new Nightmare, (and I'd guess Bust Kilik) look like they're mechanically from a whole different game.

Most of Nightmare's moves just looks like Sieg's stuff with a little bit of extra flair

I'm just hoping Cassandra doesn't get muscled out of the roster

Most of Nightmare's moveset looks like the 3 and later Nightmare moveset. The one stance, Grim Stride, etc. The stuff that looks new is that new universal counter mechanic, and stuff that looks like it'll take meter.

Because then they would have to change his boss form name to Knight Terror which would be awesome and clever, and we all know the SC writers are anything but.

It only took 4 games but that corruption thing they've been hinting at since Soul Calibur finally might pay off.

The sun has a greater chance of exploding tomorrow than Taki not being in this game. The original Soul Blade was my first fighting game so I want SC to be good again.

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

Anything less than time free DLC for most of the characters or launching the base game for no more than $30 is an instant no buy for me.

Honestly, the game shouldn't total more than $50 when only 10% is new stuff.

What sticks out to me is he's still wearing the Dvapara-Yuga when it happens. I guess that malfestation still leaks through sometimes.

More importantly though, I hope we get to use that sweet demon hair on created characters.

People legitimately said MvC2 was a rip-off when it came out because the vast majority of the cast were recycled from other games. This sentiment did not last long but it was real.

MvC2 was incredibly popular, sales are harder to pinpoint. There aren't sales numbers floating around for the DC release, but it's a Dreamcast game so there were probably three burned copies for every legit one. The arcade cabinet was in every arcade during their waning days. The Xbox and PS2 ports came very late and were incredibly limited release, plus I think weren't arcade perfect.

they weren't. Plus they sounded like poo poo compared to the dreamcast version imo.

Even going sales wise it's pretty popular, with over 2 million copies of the XBL/PSN rerelease.

In terms of the console heyday sales it isn't really fair to compare as one was released on a console that didn't gain traction while the other had a late and very limited release.

Arcade wise the game was very popular. 18 years after release and you can still find cabinets for it here and there.
