Why does SoulCalibur 2 feels much faster and smoother than the later games?

>Why does [x] feel
Pablo, you need to stop with these threads. You're not a woman. You never will be one.

around 2008 fighting games became obsessed with dramatic slowdowns, lengthy cutscene super moves and heavily increased hitstun, all of these things give you more time to recognize what's happening on screen so despite technically having the same frame data and thus general speed as earlier games, HD era fighting games take longer to actually play out

Didn't IV nerfed the overall movement?

>>12161146
And you need to quote things properly if you intend to use language for your pathetic little inferiority complex kneejerks.
God, I hate fat people.

>>12161138 (OP)
You can play as Link!!

>>12161159
Games became focused on being more fun to watch than to play

>>12161138 (OP)
I like being able to play as Link. Simple as. The only games I play are this and Ocarina.

>>12161138 (OP)
That's a five OP.

>>12161297
Not Majora's Mask?

>>12161171
SC4 is generally considered as the slowest game in the series

>>12161138 (OP)
God, SC2 still looks incredible. Look at the detail on her costume and her shoulder piece moving slightly.
As much as I like SC6, there's something about it that makes the game look cheap despite its modern graphics and beautiful art direction. Like it lacks a type of polish that 2 has, and I'm not sure what it is, but I can tell whenever I play these games.
4 has a little bit of this lack of polish as well, just not as much as 6, both still and play great though.

>>12162204
SOVL. Simple as. SOVL Calibur 2 has SOVL.

>Why does SoulCalibur 2 feels much faster and smoother than the later games?
you might feel this way because there's very few things going on mechanically. guard impact wars are also frequent and that changes the pace.
functional air control and 8 way run side steps add to the smoothness that sc5/sc6 ruined. sc is basically 2d street fighter with side steps now.

gameplay wise sc4 pre-update is the best imo. on the game's release throws beat "just" impacts. its basically sc2 without the guard impact trades.
its a damn shame they ruined that in the first patch, but at least all the dlc works regardless.

>>12161138 (OP)
It doesn’t

>>12162235
lolno

>guard impact
completely useless due to 2G bug

>functional air control and 8 way run side steps add to the smoothness that sc5/sc6 ruined
completely false

>sc is basically 2d street fighter
LOL, No, no it is not, you don't play fighting games

>>12162210
ok soul, but there has to be an actual explanation for it, it's not just a feeling.

>>12162254
>this feeling is not just a feeling
No, it is. You think feelings are somehow less or lesser because they cannot be described because you have had your brain rotted by the poison of (((materialism))).

SOVL is SOVL. It neither requires nor allows for further explanation.

>>12162249
not that anon but at least explain why for those that don't know

>>12162262
Maybe for other things, but for this I disagree, clearly something was lost in translation after SC3, besides Sovl.

Bumping this thread because of that obnoxious faggot spamming his shit again.
Ivy Sex.

>>12162343
I fucking love BOOBS

>>12161138 (OP)
we should be asking rhe same questions about the boobs

>>12162343
I recognize Ivy, but who's the other hole?

>>12162419
She's Dora, a character from Queen's Blade: Spiral Chaos. That animation is from the sequel, Queen's Gate: Spiral Chaos. The difference between "Blade" and "Gate" is that "Gate" uses licensed characters, like Ivy, Mai Shiranui, Lily (Tekken), Iroha (SamSho) and others.

Didn't SC2 have full 8 way directional movement? It's very different to how other 3D fighters work. And it should have been standardised I feel

>>12162343
sauce?

>>12162160
No, Majora's Mask is a disgrace and poorly designed.

>>12162618
Queen's Gate Spiral Chaos

>look up gameplay
>SRW with teats
damn, i was hoping it was Namco x Capcom 1.5 or arena fighter

I don't like the movesets in Soul Calibur II (its the most complicated of any Soul Calibur game and probably not necessarily for a good reason) and the Guard Impact system is the least intuitive.

>>12162204
afaik SCVI had a very little budget to work with because Bamco had zero faith on the series after SCV, it's incredible that the game still looks good despite that.

>>12163365
Its not SC2 is pretty simple, 3, 4,5 and 6 are all vastly more complicated

>and the Guard Impact system is the least intuitive
Only because of a bug that renders it functionally useless.

Going ps2 exclusive on SC3 fucked up the momentum. SC was on track to be as big as Tekken if Namco had treated it as such.

>>12163376
they keep sabotaging SC for tekken because they can't force esports growth the same way they did with tekken. SC didn't need shit like meter and supers like they stuffed into tekken.

>>12163563
SC2 is the only game that I believe had 8WR attacks that only worked in one direction (so Nightmare had unique attacks assigned to both 9A and 3A). I believe all the other Soul Calibur games don't care which way you're 8WR'ing if you're going to do something, it's always the same attack.

>>12162698
But you can play as Link.

>>12163590
SC had meter before tekken you retarded faggot tourist

>>12162698
thats a bummer
the dungeons are actually pretty fun

>>12163887
My mistake nigger, tekken 7 is 10 years old and I forget they were trying to copy street fighter with soul calibur 4 first like everyone fucking else did at the time (and still is). Don't try and be a disingenuous faggot and try to bring up the guard bar from soul edge either.

>>12163887
What he said is still true, bamco can't foster an esports scene on the same scope as tekken with SC so they leave it to die every time they release one and go "look, no profit". That said 3 is still my favorite, loved chronicles of the sword and I'm surprised nintendo hasn't commissioned bamco for a SC clone for fire emblem using that very same gamemode as a base.

>>12164019
The very first game in the series had meter, you dumb underage cocksucking tourist

>>12164035
>What he said is still true
Its not

>>12162204
>filename
that's a giant woman according to japanese people. she's taller than siegfried, anyway. (before they retconned him to be taller than her by like half an inch in the newest games lol)

>>12161138 (OP)
My personal theory is that most fighting games on the 360/ps3 era got slowed down significantly due to how poor the latency was on early HD televisions, Smash Bros Melee didn't even have an input buffer it just processed the input on press, Brawl did and is a much slower game to account for it.

What we should really want from current fighting games is 120hz options being widely implemented, I know Samurai Shodown does it.
