[09] Warrior
1. How did you start your SC journey?
Soulcalibur II was my first. Really, the only reason my 13 year old self wanted this game was because Link was in it. Prior to that I'd never even heard of the Soul series in any capacity. But after trying the game out and getting to know the canon, I immediately fell in love with the fighting and the mechanics (helped, no doubt, by my sparring with my best friend at the time all the time when we hung out), as well as the characters and story. When I first heard about Soulcalibur III I was thrilled, and I knew I was hooked.
2. When and why did you join 8WayRun.com?
I was actually a holdout for a time. I was a member of the original SC forums, and I was fiercely loyal to them. After all, it's where I met some pretty cool people, including my then-future, now-ex girlfriend, Sindel. So when the site started to die and Jaxel started getting 8WR running, I was one of those gits who just wanted to hang out in the RPT on CaliburForum. But then it pretty much died, so I left and rejoined one of my older haunts, Golden Sun Realm, where I stayed for a while. Then I started posting here because there was no reason to post on the old forum.
3. Are you following the competitive community, or maybe you prefer being a casual player?
I'm the rare mixture of both??? I'm fairly serious when talking about the game and mechanics and how characters are played and the technical aspects of the game, but I in no way fancy myself a tournament-level player. I don't really follow the scene much. But I adore the story and characters as much as I do the fighting.
4. Do you watch SC tournament streams?
I tried. I'm sorry, the commentary is grating at times.
5. Is SC the only fighting game you are interested in?
At the moment, yes, probably because it's the only one I'm good at. :c
I do like fighting games, but mostly for the characters. I mean, I'm not terrible at them, I do a decent Cammy in SSFIVAE and Dudley in SFIII3S, but I'm definitely not the best at them. Tekken's not that bad for me, though, and I'm pretty pumped for TTT2 and TxSF, which I hope is MUCH better than the disappointing SFxT. BlazBlue's fun, too, though I mostly button mash with Noel and Tsubaki. Millia Rage is my main girl in Guilty Gear. As for Brawl, I haven't played in so long, I must have forgotten how good my Shiek was. ^^;
6. What controller do you mind yourself more comfortable with?
PS3 controller and GCN for Brawl. They always work for me. Except in a 6-button fighter, where I prefer stick.
7. Are you satisfied with SCV?
Yes with the mechanics and balance. It feels like the most solid Soulcalibur in ages, marginally better than SCIII and IV (which I liked despite their flaws).
No to the atrotious single-player side to it. I wanted EVERYONE, not just Pyrrha and Pat! (I mean I love you guys but COME ON :T)
8. Are you looking forward more to another installment or maybe an enhanced version of SCV?
I'll always look forward to a potential SCVI, but as for a Super SCV, MAYBE, if it has a lot of good storyline content.
9. Who would you like to see interviewed in the upcoming episoded of the Interview Time! ?
Me! :D
