Hwang appeared in Soul Edge and SC1 and then his moveset stuck around as the Assassin reskin in SC2. Assassin actually kind of owns in SC2, or at least he’s miles better than his direct replacement Yun-Seong who most people would agree is the single worst fighter in that game.

I mean......it gets much harder to get good matches if your not on one of the coasts. No idea where you live though.
Northern Europe, though I was low rank since I never got a ton of matches I never got above that as I didn't get a ton of training against different characters. Anytime I was winning against anyone they stopped doing rematches and I had to find someone new, which again took around five minutes at worst to find. Still, I might try again at some point, but anyways I'm sure SCV will have a much better playerbase for a good while now before I go back to T7.

Last FG I played before that was MK9 which had a ton of players with a fast connection rate for a long time after release, but boy did I get a lot of straight up death threats playing that game so I stopped eventually. You can kinda tell I'm not much for fighting games I guess. At least this one will have a deece SP for a scrub like me!

Nothing you do has any actual influence on corporate practices, so go hog wild.

On a side note, I wonder how likely legacy costumes will be for dlc costume pieces. Get super crystal boy Siegfried or vampire Raphael or print all the money with SC4 Ivy.

Just a heads up for PC users, a nvidia driver came out like a week ago for call of duty and soul calibur. Not sure of the performance differences though.

The only explanation I can think of is because there's not too many pieces as overtly ridiculous as a Bullet Club shirt or just straight up giving your character a shotgun

They begin again

Should I go into this without obsessing on forums/reddit over what character seems perfect for me and just smash buttons for a while until I think a character looks sounds and feels awesome to use? Kinda tired of that routine in every fighting game. I at least want to find one or two I bond with before deep diving through character descriptions. It seems to match the casual friendly approach that I so intensely need from SC.

I kinda want to approach this like buying mod chip’d japanese dbz fgs back in the day. Smash around while having no clue what’s happening but enjoying the experience.

if you want the true casual experience you have to main whichever character you think is hottest

Unless there are unlockables that don't appear in the list until they're uh, unlocked, there are a lot less than in Tekken. I dunno, maybe there is.

Like each "section" probably has about 30 pieces each but half or more of that come from existing characters (ie. you can put Astaroth in Kilik's pants, put Taki's suit on Xianghua, or whatever). The rest of the options are just the standard ones you've seen since SC4.

The other side of that is that there are pattern options per piece and the placeables mean you can probably do some cool weird poo poo.

But out of the box it's definitely more freeform than Tekken but much, much less diverse.

Also Astaroth owns and his just frame grab owns.

Game works fine, but I haven't gotten to play yet because my cheap PCB apparently doesn't correspond intuitively to a controller. Had to rewire my hitbox so that I had a menu button and so that A/B were in intuitive places for menu navigation. Hasn't ever come up before because I'd just use joy-to-key to run full PC games, but soul calibur is a console port through and through.

Really though, pretty impressed on performance. The game runs better on my laptop than SFV did and looks so much prettier.

Put in about an hour before I had to jet off to a presentation. Super sick game. Messed around in practice a bit and whipped up an Ivy costume I'm really pleased with.

The character customizer is so much better than Tekken it's not even the same universe. Parts work together much more and you have so much more control over appearance due to more color channels, decals, patterns, etc.

Can't wait to really sink my teeth in to the game and get online tonight and over the weekend.
