Soulcalibur V coming as a Digital Download!

i guess that second paragraph was aimed at the wrong person. but I don't remember seeing Kayane or Keev go back to their comfortable characters. heck, i loved watching Keev fight as NM. my old roommate, who doesn't even play SC or have much interest in it, likes watching Keev fight. I just found it a shame when he stopped playing NM for a good while.

i was disappointed with the fact that Kayane dropped Leixia because Leixia was my main as well. i wanted to pick up Leixia before the game even came out.

i don't know Keev personally and only met Kayane for casuals once. i don't know their actual reason for dropping characters. i know the patches had some persuasion on Kayane's part but i'm not sure about Keev. i'm not a high placing tourney player but i don't think that's a reason to slap someone's opinion about the game aside. i hear all this stuff about, "patches are for high level players. etc, etc." wasn't this game originally made to appeal to the casual audience. i mean, there are supers taken right from street fighter. there was the elimination of an entire button combination A+K. and a LOT of work went into the CaS stuff. so, to me it's hard to take this game super seriously for tournament play because it wasn't really built with high level players in mind.

granted this is my opinion though.

It's a perfectly good reason to slap someone's opinion aside. We don't let paraplegics go around teaching neurosurgery just because it's the nice thing to do. Fuck that noise.

If anything, SCV wasn't built with low level players in mind. That's why you folks get online and get angry that you get hit by some 'random shit' or a 'random CE' by Joe Donuts. SC5 is one of the fairest fighting games out right now and I can bring out ACTUAL high level players WHO DON'T like the game to back me up on that (SU, someone you may be familiar with, comes to mind). It's just the lot of you folk overestimate your skill, get hemmed up, and blame it on some 'inconsistency' you find in the game.

As for the first paragraph, you need to actually follow SC then because Kayane has changed to Leixia at just about every tournament since she's picked up Viola at some point in the tournament and Keev just recently played Nightmare in his Ft10 with shad or whoever the French aPat guy is.

I don't even know where I'm going with this anymore and I've got a paper to do so I'm out. I'll come back to whatever nonsense you all put up prolly tomorrow.

O yeah, but I do thinks it's even funnier that, after the 'random super' tech was found out, lots of people started bitching about that. It's like, "Whatever is beating me off in my ass at the moment is the cheapest shit ever and so stupid and I would abuse it but I have so much honor that I won't. But, if I did, I'd be the best but the game is so stupid that anyone can be the best, especially people who aren't me. God, this randomness. I'mma go play Solitaire, a real man's game, dewdz. Out."

Gud stuff.

It is true and that's it.

Normally, I like you, but your implication that a fighting game is made only for tournament players is completely absurd, and if it were true, we wouldn't have any. For real, where do you get off? Yeah, you're good. Congratulations. But that doesn't mean you get to tell casual players or even quasi-core players "this game isn't for you."

It's when you get a thousand scrubs who think they know what they're talking about being vocal about things they don't understand (no matter what game you play).

This is something I don't dispute, and is why I made sure not to cite any specific examples at all.

(you people) x infinity

If you continue to point fingers at me and talk to me like that, I'm going to do an acrobatic fucking pirouette directly off of the handle and into the anger zone. I'm trying to be reasonable here.

...either get better, stop whining, or stop playing. That's as simple as it is.

"Stop playing" is the alternative that many have chosen and is why this game is dead. I'm registered for UFGT. I talked to Keits when he brought Divekick to Arcade Legacy. And the numbers for this game right now are straight up horrid.
"Get better" and "stop whining" are the preferred options, obviously. All I'm saying is that this is easier to do when the counters for powerful tactics are more easily accessible. That results in less players who choose "stop playing", and a game that can stay alive longer. That's all I'm saying. Where's the harm in that?

EDIT: I can see that it's not obvious, but I'm speaking purely in hypotheticals and general terms here. I'm not asking Namco to come patch SCV again. I'm not copping out of learning these counters, because while they're not easy to find, they're still there. I'm just saying; more people would be able to realize that in a game where the counters are more easily accessible.

Okay, lemme get some stuff straight for you: I don't give a fuck if you like me; I'm here for you people to stop saying dumb shit. No one said ANYTHING about fighting games being exclusively for high level players. We said balance is a competitive issue (and this game is balanced competitively, a couple of butthurt scrubs doesn't change that). Don't change my words into something I didn't say.

Second of all, lemme make this really clear: I don't give a fuck about the numbers for SC. As long as people show up and I can go play, I will. If it's taken off the tourney circuit, then so be it. People will still buy the game, there'll be a new one, and I'll play casually. I have more than enough shit going on in my life than to give a fuck, honestly. With that being said, I'd rather have no one play the damn game than put up with another one of you people who think you have a clue what the hell is going on, don't show up to tournaments, and want to criticize this damn you know nothing about at every corner because 'you love it so much.' gtfo with that shit.
