Heya man, nice to see a long time fan and nice to see ya join the boards. Gives people a chance to get to know you. I'm shocked when I see how many guests we've got sneaking about lol. I may send you a psn request. I expect to be stomped thoroughly lol. (Adjusting to a ps3 controller from a 360 one on a game you're sued to is honestly harder than I thought it would be and I'm rusty as hell. The buttons had different push pressures, for one thing )

I had a similar adjustment period also from playing all the soul calibur games

Soul Blade - lol... i button mashed this as a kid, did not know what I was doing on the playstation controller

Soul Calibur 1- Dreamcast controller... I was button mashing when I first played this game, so obviously I didn't know the controls as well. When I played sc1 after playing sc4, I had to do button remaps.

Soul Calibur II- I owned this game for the gamecube, so I had to learn how to play on the gamecube controller. Honestly I think this is the best controller for soul calibur button layout wise... I prefer the playstation D pad more however. You can press nearly all the button combination A+B, B+K, A+K, and A+G on the gamecube controller with just your thumb(inputs end up being A+Y, Y+X, A+K, A+B on gamecube controller) the only thing combination that was somewhat hard was B+G, but I always used the B button and Right trigger button on the gamecube pad.

Soul Calibur III - the transition from gamecube controller to playstation 2 controller took me a while to understand. You can't really press A+K or A+B with your thumb. I had to do a little remapping, R1 is my A button and R2 is my G button. That setup makes a huge difference to me as I can press A+B with Triangle + R1... which is just my index finger and thumb. Same goes for A+K, R1+ Circle... again index finger and thumb. haha and the extra G on my r2 button is so I have access to B+G throws, I do R2+triangle which is again my index finger and thumb. I dislike binding A+B, B+K, A+K as a single button... simply because I want access to slide inputs such as aB, aK, bA, bK, kA, kB. Having single binds, I find limits slide input options for me .

Soul Calibur IV- haha ps3 pad mostly same as ps2 pad, so not much adjustment ;D.

Closet thing i've had to xbox pad was playing sc2 at a friend's house on his xbox. I remember hating the D pad =(.

Really looking forward to sc5, just waiting for my favorite pirate to get confirmed ;D. I also think I will try picking up ivy in sc5, she was my secondary back in Soul Calibur 1 and 2. I never adjusted to her movelist changes in sc3 and sc4 =(. sc5 ivy looks like she plays a bit closer to sc1 and sc2 ivy, and daishi did confirm she plays closer to those incarnations so... ;D.


@Enkindu, I've never competed in a offline tournament. I would like to someday...;D I would probably get a nice beating on my ass. I'm from Boston, Mass.

ohh, i've bumped into you on psn before. Yes... I do see you post those constant live stream links on 8wayrun.com when i was a guest. I even got matched up into one of your rooms before. Every now and then i'll see a 8wayrunner on psn... always gives me goosebumps since I check tourney results too. I think you won a tourney recently with voldo... right? XP

o.o yes i lurk quite a bit O_O
 
Hello DYY,

Welcome to 8wayrun! It always gladdens me to welcome new site members who have been playing calibur since its inception. I am currently one of the New Player Forum moderator, and as such am here to find anything you could need help with!

I myself started with SC2. I played SC2 and 3 casually and started competitively with SC4. SC4 being my favorite.
I highly recommend looking for offline play if your interested in eventually going to tournaments.
Check out the New England Regional Matchmaking Forum for other people in your area. Mass has very very good players, most of whom would love to get some games in with you.

If you have any questions, or need help finding specific information please ask, we are all here to welcome you and help out.

Enjoy!
 
Hey DYY welcome to 8WR!.. er, welcome to 8WR as a registered user! lol

This community is gonna explode BEFORE SC5 even gets here! This is a fantastic development in the fighting game community. It seems as though every Fighting game has a legitimate scene! Although, I know SC had a following before SC5.. But it's gonna be a HUGE following when SC5 hits! ^_^
