Oh you and your irony! I may just do a whole "in praise of cheapness" thing. There's a lot of stuff we as SC players are used to--throw mechanics, RO, etcetera--which are potentially off-putting to people coming over from other games.

It’s hard to find two words in the English language more satisfying when heard together than “grapple whore,” at least when they’re squeaked your way, via the magic of the Internet, from the lips of a pre-pubescent neighborhood champ quivering with the sort of rage that only comes from having...

I actually don't think it's you. Every time I'm in a room with uberl33t I get random freezes and I have no friggin clue why. =/ I reset my ps3 but couldn't get a cool kid invite back. Edit: Add me and let's battle soon! I'll give you plenty more sweet screenshots.

That's actually a great example! I played it up like I normally do, but honestly it was a valuable learning experience. If you go back an watch it, I did great when we both played somewhat conventionally, but the Jaxel figured out that I had no real experience against Xiba's counter-CE, and...

There’s nothing in this world more loathsome and repugnant than a flip-flopper. As we are reminded in every national election cycle, true leaders never change their minds, and they’re never, ever wrong. And I, of course, am a true leader, so please keep that in mind this week as we take another...

Ah-HA! I did misunderstand. Yeah, rounds and matches are resolved very quickly now, and I've actually been involved in a few serious discussions as to whether this is a good or a bad thing. I like it, to a point, especially from both a practical and an aesthetic perspective; faster matches...

I just plain don't understand any complaint along the lines of "they changed the speed of the game!" The game speed changed radically with every iteration. SC1 was slowish, SC2 was ridiculously fast, SC3 was slower than 2, faster than 1, SC4 was the slowest of all, and 5 is probably somewhere...

I've got an eternal soft spot for people who want to play the big fella. Keep an eye on the Astaroth forum over the next few weeks as more information is made available. Basically, though, you need to work on bullying people. You're big, you're slow, you're pissed off for no reason, so shove...

The priorities are skewed, yes, but I'd suggest that they're skewed in a frankly better direction by focusing on social play. Fighters, as a genre, are subjected to a number of expectations and demands that make very little sense to me within the context of what they actually are, and I just...

Consider this: game "journalism" is reprehensible, and reviews themselves are anything but deterministic. You've got people evaluating a product based on the short-term story elements which, as I said, is akin to rating Hooters for the wings--it misses the point entirely. The real content...

Mmk, apparently this needs to chill out here in s33krit land for a few more hours. Everybody shut up. ;)

Well kids, the wait is finally just about over. SOULCALIBUR V officially hits stores tomorrow, so it’s time to go out, grab a copy, and start practicing. Well, almost. For those of you not living near incompetent Wal-Marts or shady mom & pop establishments willing to break street date, you still...

This really isn't much of a tutorial. It's more like "hey, check out this mechanic that exists!" To clarify some points: Tapping quickly is better because the jG window does not start until you release G. Also, pressing and holding G for too long negates your ability to jG entirely. The...

My basic literacy is at long last paying dividends!

Nobody ever offers me DQ. =(

Confusing the issue and beating up this balance straw man was the entire point of the post, I fear. =(

I thought it'd be funny. ;) I talked shit before, kinda positioned myself as the asshole, so I had to go full-on heel with it.

This is primarily an extension of our general rule against allowing CaS characters, again for logistical reasons. Most of the history in the original post is outright fabrication. Of course, if we do get official DLC we'll still probably end up revisiting the notion of whether or not DJ...

Presuming that the people who volunteer their consoles for the tournament are okay with losing all of their own customizations when the save file is overwritten... In any case, even if you could preserve initial saves, you're still having an extra step of downloading stuff onto a flash drive...

Can we make soul arenas for characters I create for my fan fiction??? I'll mod.
