Guten Tag everyone

Hi there, I'm Flo from Germany and I joined 8wayrun today after passively reading here for a few months - I guess I won't be able to wait for Soulcalibur V without discussing at least a little bit. Pleased to meet you all!

When it comes to fighting games I'm as casual as it gets. I don't like playing online since I never thought it's fun competing against unknown, faceless opponents, and I started my FG "career" with SCIII (I've never been that much of a console or arcade gamer, but SCIII somehow dragged me in). However, I don't have many friends who are into FGs either (what's more, none of them owns SCIV), so I usually find myself in practice mode or beating up buddies offline on friday nights, drinking heavily. I used to main Amy, but after realizing that she's no fun against untrained opponents, I started practicing Siegfried and Mitsurugi.

So why am I here now? I hesitate to join ger-calibur since there's way less going on than here and I found this community's recent discussions about what to expect from SCV quite entertaining. (Site navigation's also an issue; it's definitely easier navigating around the forums being logged in.) So, given that I'm clearly not on par with higher-level players, I'd like to contribute to 8wayrun from a casual point of view and by joining the SCV expectation and announcement discussions.

If you have any questions regarding me, please feel free to ask.
 
It's nice to meet you man. Being casual is cool there's room for everybody here, so don't sweat it. After having some bad experiences lately against random opponents online (win or lose, no respect) I share your dislike of playing against the unknown and the faceless. I've found since I started sticking to playing people from the boards I've had a lot more fun. If you wanna play against some friendly folks who are as into fighting games as you are, I might say you could do worse than to check out the online sub-forum here:

I tend to find nothing makes you want to get better at a fighting game than meeting a strong opponent who mops (or waxes) the floor with you but we've got people at all levels available to play against there. If you have any questions feel free to ask Enkindu, Senzait or myself.

Well now that that's squared away it's good to have you aboard, I always like when people shift from lurking to joining because you get a chance to know them. Have a good time and I hope you prove an entertaining addition to our discussions, lol. It seems like the more people join in the future, the harder it'll be to stand out. May as well get a head start now eh? lol. So you're from Germany eh? Oddball question for you here: Anything good on television there? Knew this exchange student, she loved Harold Schmitt.
 
Thanks for the welcome! I suppose I'm really going to check out the online matchmaking forum sometime soon, but I think I'll wait for SCV's release before I make that move. Perhaps then I can even take a bigger part in gameplay discussion here when gameplay mechanics aren't as well-known as SCIV's.

Meh, I don't really watch TV except for sports. I digged Harald Schmidt a few years ago though when I watched TV on a more regular basis... seems like nowadays all that's broadcasted here are reality TV shows, Simpsons/HIMYM/TAAHM reruns and cookery shows which tend to bore the hell out of me.
 
yoyo,

du kannst dich ja zusätzlich auf ger-calibur anmelden... :) Sobald Sc5 draußen ist wirds da auch interessanter.

back to english....which city are you from? Maybe i can hook you up with some offline players!

So welcome, doc.
