I want a game staring nightmare but it's basically dmc

>>723472849
Sword is Sparda, arm is buster/breaker, armored like Nelo. It works already.

>>723472704 (OP)
The real shame is that some of the characters in Soul Calibur are real good but they are stuck in a failure fighting game series. And worse Soul Calibur has never been the first weapons fighting game series that honor goes to Samurai Shodown which seems more well known.

>>723472704 (OP) for me it's this guy
>>723473057 series sure, but playing SC2 right around 8th grade with all of your friends and neighbors was something special.

>>723473391
We don't get that anymore because gaming now is mandatory online for multiplayer. That sucks.

>>723473057

If SoulCalibur is a "failure fighting game series," yours is even more so.

Simply saying that Soul Calibur doesn't seem to be as celebrating in gaming history all that much. Even Darkstalkers has more notoriety. Soul Calibur ranks higher than things like Bloody Roar though.

>>723473880
What the absolute flipping fuck are you on about? What planet do you live on for this to be true?

Holy fucking shit. Will SNK ever make a good game again?

Sure...

>>723474413
Blame Jews for that. Birthrates are awful worldwide because Jews fund agendas that discourage humans from starting families. Raising prices for the cost of living and Women's Rights being the worst offenders.

Bump

Dead franchise though.

>>723473057
>>723473391
Yeah. I remember my cousin having a Dreamcast, all of us hanging out in his room, and Soul Calibur being the coolest game on the planet at the time. It seemed poised for superstardom. I think the last one I played was on GameCube, where you could be Link. Not even sure what happened to the series after that.

>>723478114
I'm sad that no one cares about or appreciates SoulCalibur III

>>723474297
They make good games, they just get stuck with people who keeps tanking their marketing.

>>723478665
>III
Why would there when II was the peak?

>>723478665
Only the real ones know that 3 was peak Soul Calibur. 2fags are part of the reason why series started devolving after it and why Bamco can keep coping that "no one wants a new soul calibur." as they keep shilling Tekken left and right.

>>723478914
I just want XI's tag system back + assists. 3v3 in turns is so fucking boring.
Haven't watched a single Garou 2 match because it was clear everyone was being paid to play it.
They need to hire someone from ASW or Capcom that did their graphics. It's obvious SNK is stuck in the late 00's.

In terms of design every Nightmare barring 5 has been a downgrade and even the 5 Nightmare has a worse looking Soul Edge.

>>723472704 (OP)
Best design and best voice (in both English and Japanese).

>>723478665

I grew tired of fighting games after playing SC2 so much, so I never played 3. What made 3 better than 2?

>>723472704 (OP)

>>723479673
Batter graphics, more characters, "choose your own adventure"-style mode with branching paths, a lot of secrets and unlocks. Some people also like the hybrid RTS mode or character creation, but I don't care as much about those.

>>723472704 (OP)
His 2P in that game is better, but yes SCII was the absolute peak for art direction for the series.

>>723472849
It's unfortunate that the concept of "SoulCalibur action game" was burned on a Wii exclusive game where Nightmare isn't playable.

>>723479673
You couldnt have grow tired off fighting games aftet just Soul Cal 2, because back then fighting games still were allowed to have tones of extra modes and minigames, Soulcal 3 came out with tons of content. And biggest thing was Cas,especially with movesets exclusive to just them (with extra characters you could unlock as their stand in rep). 3 was the most Soulcalibur went with CaS, and by extention the one with the largest roster to date.

>>723480459
>SCII was the absolute peak for art direction for the series.
Eh, I disagree. SC III has better faces and 3D models in general for a lot of characters. Cassandra, Sophitia, Mi-na, Xianghua, Taki, Cervantes, Kilik, Talim, Yoshimitsu Lizardman all look better IMO. Astaroth, Maxi, Yun-seong, and Siegfried (comparing to Nightmare 3P from SC II) look about as good. Only Raphael, Nightmare, Voldo and Ivy look worse. New characters also look good but usually only in one of their outfits (Zasalamel 2P, Tira 2P, Setsuka 1P).

>>723480459
>>723481248
Oh and stages in SC III also look a lot better. SC II stages feel relatively empty with little detail while SC III stages manage to showcase some really good architecture.

>>723481248
Sounds like you're talking more about technical progression than art direction.

>>723481373
But those games released on the same console (PS2). The only technical progression they could have made was in learning to utilize the hardware better, and technical direction is part of that. In any case, SC III just looks better to me in native resolution. When emulating, the Gamecube version of SC II upscales better because it has higher quality textures.

I want to be him so bad bro

>>723472704 (OP)
I can find no fault in this

>>723473837
He only started truly wielding it with one hand in SoulCalibur III when he split from Siegfried. In SC I and II, he wields it with both hands most of the time, with the exception of certain stances and attacks. Additionally, the lore says that his talon is used for catching human souls or something like that. In any case, it makes his design more symmetric and better.

>>723473653
>pic rel is keeping soul calibur relevant in nipland
I don't know how to feel about it.

SO, does anyone want to play SC6 or some other SoulCalibur?

>>723472704 (OP)
Soul Calibur 2 is the most SOULful fighting game that ever was.
I still dream of finding an arcade cab one day and completely rape the conquest mode

I know it’s a pipe dream but I really hope someone makes an equivalent of Slippi for SC2

>>723483285
damn, another soul cal thread when I'm at work. I'll join one of these days.

The looks of all the characters in SC2 are great. It even has the best design for Link.

>>723485976
I don't remember the last time when I played against Hilde and I hate her just from watching third party footage.

>>723472704 (OP)
Voldo, Yoshimitsu, Nightmare, Cervantes all in one game (every game). Let alone some pretty good Crossovers that even puts smash to shame.
A tragedy how the series silently dies.
I'm not even a fighting game fag.

I made a lobby anyway: steam://joinlobby/544750/109775243227023391/76561199021052341

Sorry, posted the wrong image.

>>723487114
there is no shame in to forget how to pronounce his name

SC has some of the best characters in general.
