Interview Time! Episode 6: 8WayRunners

[Di_PL]

Some time ago, when Polish football team coach was looking for players for the national team for Euro 2012 he said he would try everyone. Yes, everyone. Obviously, he didn't. It was no suprise, however, that was quite an interesting idea.

Now how about I decided to interview you? Yes - you, precisely. You, who are reading this. You - member of the SC community.

One thing I'd like to ask first: 1 person = 1 post. No comments, only your own answers.

Now let's jump to the questions:

1. How did you start your SC journey?
2. When and why did you join 8WayRun.com?
3. Are you following the competitive community, or maybe you prefer being a casual player?
4. Do you watch SC tournament streams?
5. Is SC the only fighting game you are interested in?
6. What controller do you mind yourself more comfortable with?
7. Are you satisfied with SCV?
8. Are you looking forward more to another installment or maybe an enhanced version of SCV?
9. Who would you like to see interviewed in the upcoming episoded of the Interview Time! ?

I started the month after SCII released on Gamecube.
I joined 8wayrun a year ago in July, I joined to follow up news on SCV
I want to become competitive, so I did some online tourneys.
Yes I watch them.
I play naruto generations, street fighter x tekken, super smash bros, street fighter, I want to play Mortal Kombat, and thats all :D
A ps2 controller, I hate fighting sticks. They are way to difficult for me to handle.
I hoped for more and had more expectations such as an amazing talim and what not, otherwise I like it and enjoy it.
Yes very much so, I just hope they make enough money to do so.
Me :D

1. I started playing Soul Calibur 2 casually, and continued with SC3.
2. I had lurked for a while, and joined some time around when Leixia and Raphael were announced. This forum has definitely been very helpful for developing new strategies.
3. I'm a pretty casual player at the moment, but I really need to join a scene. Online gets boring after a while.
4. I usually do watch streams, especially for major events.
5. I like SSF4, but I really suck at it. I'd like to improve my game but can't play it right now due to computer issues.
6. I actually liked the Gamecube pad the best. It certainly isn't good for all characters, though. The 360 pad certainly isn't perfect, but I can work with it.
7. I like the gameplay, but I wish there was a little more single player content and/or collectibles.
8. I know we probably won't be seeing any substantial DLC. I just hope the franchise will continue to survive.
9. There should be an interview bonanza around the Evo period. Otherwise an interview with any tournament player is interesting to read.

1. When SCIV came with my Xbox arcade.
2. I lurked for a while then joined November of last year (it was ironically on my mother's birthday)
3. I'm competitive but I have much to learn and need to find a scene again. Nothing beats playing people offline.
4. I love watching the streams when time allows it.
5. I'm getting into VF quite a bit.
6. A 360 pad with small click action buttons (helps me do 1F slides better).
7. No, I don't like it when a sword going through my opponent causes me to lose money.
8. I would love to see a SCVI.
9. I'm not picky. :D

1. Soul Blade was the first game I bought on PlayStation, I have been a fan ever since... Good ol' memories!
2. It was around the time SCV was announced, I was searching for new information, and since 8WR is quite the reference about the series...
3. I'm rather a casual player. I enjoy the series for its stories and its depth, I happen to play online, sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, that's just it, I enjoy the game.
4. Not really, I'm not fond of watching other people play. Sounds selfish, but I'd rather take part in the action.
5. I like fighting games in general, but they need that "special touch" to interest me. I play UMvC3, Tekken (yet I'm less and less interest in it), Dissidia... Good fighting games (when I say good, I mean in my eyes) are hard to find these days.
6. The normal controllers (and I like the PS3 controller best), I'm faster with them than an arcade stick.
7. The gameplay and graphics are awesome, yet characters lack depth, story lacks... Just lacks, and I regret the fact we were promised many things and got nothing. But in general, I'm satisfied and I would buy a possible sequel.
8. A sequel or a "Super Complete SCV" would both suit me, so BRING IT ON, PS!
9. No one in particular, first and last places are players, and every player deserve their moment of glory! :)
