Crazy1 81 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Would be interesting to see people's choices as well as their reasons for playing their characters. I'm between mains at the moment as I played Link almost exclusively in Soul Calibur II, but since I can't play him anymore I need to find someone else. Kind of leaning toward Leixia so far, but we'll see how it goes. Edit: Mostly using Leixia, but I've also had good results with Siegfried and Pyrrha. I'd also list Natsu, but I only use her when one of the quick battle opponents is being cheap. Edited February 18, 2012 by Crazy1 81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagerasimaru Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Well I've been maining Talim since she made an appearance in SC2. Now since namco broke the game i am forced to learn a new character. I went towards Natsu since i like playing fast characters. Im still pissed Talim isnt here, but if they dont release her in a couple months then im sorry the game will b sold and i won't buy another one unless they actually put effort into the game creation.

Tohsaka Rin Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Used to play Talim, Seong-Mina, Zasalamel and Siegfried but for V I have been using Siegfried(ranked/player), Nightmare(CPU/player) and learning Leixia slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taokaka Meow Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Playing Leixia and Tira. Will maybe pick up a 3rd character sometime. Thinking about Viola, Z.W.E.I. and Pyrrha. I use Leixia because I like how she plays. And Tira just kicks ass. First time I saw her, I knew I wanted to play her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamaistr Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Voldo, also play well with astaroth. pretty much used to be undefeatable with voldo in 4, only dino could beat me more than he lost. currently practicing with phyrra aswell, and a bit of ivy, raphael and maxi but i think ill just stick with phyrra as shes most like cassandra who was my third main in 4.

Senami Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 My main on SC III was Nightmare, he got easy, good attacks but when SC IV has come i have changed to Amy since she is xtreme fast, and because in SC V they dont give me her, i play Siegfried.

WINAS3 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 My main since Sc1 is, http://images.wikia.com/soulcalibur/images/4/45/SCVconceptASTAROTH.jpg And i love laying out the faster chars with him:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirokurou Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Mained Siegfried in SCII-SCIII Right now trying out some Raphael... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamaistr Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 My main since Sc1 is, And i love laying out the faster chars with him:p so what do you think about them removing 2B+K, his airgrab (not 2_8, i mean the regular one) whiffs 9/10 :l I havent found a single move that procs it consistently.

SuperMegaShark Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 My main is for sure Raphael ever since SCIII. Before that (in Soul Edge) i switched between Rock, Seoung Mina and Cervantes a lot. I guess I'm just comfortable with the way he plays, fast and smooth with decent range.

The Axe pick-up smash and the pop-up stomp are indeed both missing... And I absolutely hate not having them! For air-grabs I either have to do and i forget the name of it but the input's 4B+K B, a fully charged Bull rush, a Hades cannon (BE) or if your fast/lucky enough Terror moon, only thing is if you get those last two off your better off landing a Titan bomb(that is if your ring position is safe as you dont want to ring yourself out with it). There's just numerous things they've taken from him in this game that im not pleased with to say the very least... No GI on Body splash anymore wtf project soul? *After i posted i remembered, there's also Flight of the wicked, but i'd consider a normal air-grab off that as a rather missed opportunity.

Atm asty's strenght is his range, get close and theres little you can do this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 44A, 3A+B with 2A+G_B+G or 1AA too:applause: His crouching grabs can work pretty effectively when they do get close though, try to use those moves that force your opponent into crouch with a good 2A+G_B+G can be a great set up for further punishment, even if they do break you get breathing room for your next advance. But yeah, every fighting style in this title has had something stripped from it or replaced, its quite the step back imho and i have no idea just what they were thinking when they made certain choices. I watched my collectors edition behind the scenes last night and it was laughable, they really painted quite a different picture then, than the final product we each have now:rolleyes: Edited February 13, 2012 by WINAS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xseanxstrangex Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 My main character I use is Tira. She's cool, cute and has a great move set. She's also pretty awesome when she switches between Jolly Tira and Gloomy Tira (Jolly Tira is much cuter!) I used her a little bit in III and IV but never got used to her. But now, I love her moves! I have about 10 different costumes for her! :3 I'll occasionally use Viola or Xiba here and there but, TIRA FOR LIFE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermik884 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) I use Viola since I started playing the game. I just love her gameplay so much. Oh and she's hot. Edited February 13, 2012 by Supermik884 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its obvious how rushed things are, hell the 'cutscenes' are textbook storyboards, not cutscenes at all, i can tell that wasnt done for the 'art' but because they didnt have time to animate them. etc. really makes me mad, this couldve been the best SC, but now is the worst SC and made me lose all hope for the series, idc if they ever make a 'better' one, i refuse to ever buy another.

I agree that some part of the game were rushed, but gaming world was always about money. It never change, and it will never change. Sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kheapathic Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I retired Siegfried and enjoyed picking up Natsu. I used Siegfried with some Seung-Mina since Soul Edge, but Siegfried doesn't feel like his old self and Mina's gone. I dinked around with Xianghua and Kilik in the previous entries but never found myself picking Taki. So considered myself shocked when I found myself searching for someone and picked up Taki's successor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
