I've always been a huge fan of Mitsurugi. The way he moves and the way his attacks work, with the stances and the flow always draws me to play him more than any others.
My mains are Mitsurugi and especially Cervantes. He's got this wicked V-V-V-teleport-DEATH-FROM-ABOVE attack in SC1 that's just so mind blowing in its awesomeness. Or the flip-up and grab-the-crotch combo that's so humiliating.
Always been a fan of Astroth and Killik. That character shura looks interesting to play....like a cross between Mitsurugi and Taki.
Shura uses Cervantes' moveset.
But obviously not his pants.
Well there goes my theory. I'll try them all out anyways. Balancings changed, and maybe so have I.
And yes, Benticore, you're the only one that focused on their pancake asses. ;)
I'm just sayin' that its a travesty. Why have a fighter wear ass-less chaps to fight but then GIVE HER NO ASS to speak of? It aint right and it ain't fair.
But then again, I've been to japan. I've SEEN what they're workin' with. I called my local congressman to see if we could arrange some sort of Trade Agreement/Ass-Assistance Program for those poor folks in that god-forsaken place. I'm still waiting on a response to my proposal.
I'll be in my trailer.

Waitahotdamnminute...Lobster do you HAVE the game now?
If so, how does Ivy play? I never played SC3 more than a handful of times (No PS2) but I heard she changed a LOT from 2 to 3. Is she more like SC3 or SC2 now?
Have you gotten a chance to take SC4 online?

I enjoy using Rock or Astaroth. But I get frustrated. When that happens, I switch to Mitsurugi or Cervantes and kill the game in Ultra Hard. Rarely do I boast about being great at a game, but Soul Calibur was the one I had confidence in. Hell, I could even beat the game on Ultra Hard using Maxi. I still f*cking hate fighting Voldo.
And I hear that in SC5, Ivy will be nude and her moveset will be changed so her whip-sword will cover her delicate places as she fights a la any harem manga aimed at 14 year olds.
I liked playing Ivy in SC1 to watch her, but man were her moves hard to master. Very slight differences in timing or direction could end up with radically different types of attacks.

Freakin' bummer. I was hoping to see a dual-wielder with some flexibility.
My favorite character is Link!
I don't really have any bests, since I'm pretty terrible with everyone, but I tend to favor faster characters in any fighting game I play. I really like Talim, Kilik, Yunsung, Maxi, Taki and Voldo.
There were also two or three new characters added in Soul Calibur 3 that were pretty cool. I vaguely remember a black dude wearing a white cloak using a scythe and a girl wearing green who fought with a giant razor-bladey hoola-hoop. I don't remember their names or even if they actually exist because I rented the game for a week and then never played it again because I hated it so much, but I liked those two characters and want them in Soul Calibur 4.
Soul Calibur Vs. Star Wars Vs. Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe Vs. Marvel Vs. Capcom Vs. SNK Vs. Super Smash Bros. Vs. Alien Vs. Predator Vs. Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. Cats Vs. Dogs Vs. Larry Flynt Vs. the People would be, like, the best game ever made.
What, no VS. Samurai Showdown?
Nightmare and Maxi are the two I tend to play, but they've changed Nightmare more and more with each sequel. It's gotten so I can barely stomp on anyone's head (Earth Trample) when they're on the ground anymore.

I'm tempted. That's sig material.
Has anyone gotten the game, yet? Bring on the impressions!
Gamefly shipped it yesterday, but I imagine I won't receive it on the east coast until Friday.

That's Zasalamel
...and a girl wearing green who fought with a giant razor-bladey hoola-hoop.
That would be Tira
I'm looking forward to getting a hold of them both since SC3 passed on my beloved (and only!) xbox.
My friend is getting it from Gamefly so I wont have to buy it This week. Its in the mail today so I'm hoping I'll be stabbin' you fools come wednesday night!

I'll be picking it up after work today. One of the few games my SO will actually play. Outside of rockband there is not much else out there for good two player on the couch gaming.
I played enough to finish the story mode as Yoda. First impressions are that it's a pretty, current-gen Soul Calibur.

What the heck is yoda's story?
What the heck is yoda's story?
I don't think this is exactly a spoiler so I'll just type it normally. Basically he's chillin' on Dagobah and senses a "weak power that shakes the very foundation of the universe" (?), ignores it because he's busy fighting the Empire ... by hanging out on a uninhabited swamp planet ... until he finds out Vader is checking it out the weak power anomaly thing. Then he follows after him. Subsequently he accuses everyone of being tainted by the Dark Side, and kicks ass until defeating the head boss. Then he says it's over but he'll have to return, in passive voice, and makes a comet streak back for Dagobah, presumably in a ship they didn't want to waste time detailing.
Coming to the Lifetime Channel:
Yoda's Story
Should come from Gamefly today.
Got mine! I'll be on PSN tonight as "Sephirotic" (as per usual)
Word on the interwebs is that the special exclusive downloadable content with the limited edition is...
School uniforms!
Because Sigfried's transformation into Nightmare was as a result of too many wedgies and wet willies.
No, more because EVERYONE loves a sexy woman dressed like a school girl.
Slight tweak...
Add me to the list of SC4 players on the 360. I forgot I had it at the top of my Gamefly queue until I got the email that it was being shipped out to me. My playtimes are kind of wacky at the moment but hopefully I can pickup Ivy's nuances enough to put up a decent fight online.
