1. How did you start your SC journey?
Click to expand...
Around the age of 8-9 years old In Council Bluffs, IA when I lived with my dad at the time and I find Soul Calibur 1 at the Aladdin's Castle arcade in the mall of the Bluffs along with Tekken 2, Bloody Roar 1 and Killer Instincts 2 and played Lizardman cause you have to be fucking nuts to not play Lizardman at least once. Later around 12-13 I got SCII for the Gamecube cause of Link but loved playing Raphael and NM casually at the time and the whole guest character on each console thing was hella tight.

2. When and why did you join 8WayRun.com?
Click to expand...
I joined 8wayrun after stumbling on SC2 and SC4 tournament videos and being curious and researched as to why Hilde was a broke ass ho and Algol being Algol to expand my FG knowledge. I finally joined the website after being annoyed about Capcom stream monsters in the NEC2011 main stream and I went to the second stream and wanted to watch some non capcom games and to and watched high level SC4 action and was impressed especially with the U.S versus France battle and wanted to get some info on SCV as well. The reason I joined 8wayrun is because I wanted to get into a another FG seriously after leaving smash brothers competitively for 2-3 years mainly brawl lololol and melee later but left cause of personal reasons with the games, my scene, and the flaws the smash community has I feel when compared to other FG's. That and being banned for posting Hentai. 2 more other smashers I knew left around the same time I left and one of them has a account on here and helps try to develop our newish Soul scene in a 2d dominated area and I with word of mouth whenever I get a chance. Also my area apparently had a SC1/SC2 scene back in the day from what I heard from a very old school SC1 player and told me about the SC1/early SC2 days which was tight.

3. Are you following the competitive community, or maybe you prefer being a casual player?
Click to expand...
Yes I follow the competitive scene but have only entered locals so far and having no PS3 sucks but I am working to get a PS3 cause I really need one cause I was one of the 4 lucky winners to win a copy of SCV from IGN's twitter's stream contest with FlithieRich 2 weeks before the game came out and people were salty on here when I told them that. I am hoping to travel soon and get some games in with OOS players.

4. Do you watch SC tournament streams?
Click to expand...
Yes SCV and KOF13 are my main interest when I am watching majors while Marvel is my least because finding SCV only streams as well as KOF13, SG and Tekken only streams are only 10 to 1 when compared to a gang of SFAE2012, UMVC3 and god awful SFXT streams.

5. Is SC the only fighting game you are interested in?
Click to expand...
No I am also interested in KOF13, Tekken Tag 2, Skullgirls and Marvel 3 a little as well the most but god help us if Capcom does a arcade perfect rerelase of CVS2 with online play cause I will be all over that stuff like a crack fiend.

6. What controller do you mind yourself more comfortable with?
Click to expand...
Pad always have and smash even pushes this even more when i was still playing. I would love to learn stick later and get me one of those SCV hori sticks once I get my money flowing from my new job and managed otherwise need to find a good PS2 to PS3/360 converter so I can stop borrowing from MKL.

7. Are you satisfied with SCV?
Click to expand...
Yes a little for the most part but the game being rushed as well as single player modes as well as the koreans, Talim, Cassandra and the ONLY MOTHAFUCKING BLACK GUY Zasalamel not being in the game and word of mouth along with reviews and 3 mimics hurts the sales and one of my good friends didn't want to buy the just because Talim wasn't in there. Other than that and a small thing or two I like the game alot.

8. Are you looking forward more to another installment or maybe an enhanced version of SCV?
Click to expand...
Actually yes to fix some stuff and to add characters but make it downloadable and a retail disc version but I doubt it but if it does holy shit.

9. Who would you like to see interviewed in the upcoming episoded of the Interview Time! ?
Click to expand...
I would like to see E.G Floe interview to help explain the transition of 2.d to 3.d games and stuff around those lines. Also I would to see French players, U.K players and Omega DR to be interviewed.
 
1. How did you start your SC journey?
I wanted to try a new game and I was at Gamestop with my mom and brother, I couldn't decide what to get so my chose for me~She picked Soul Calibur 2 for the PS2 and I'm glad she did~ Loved the series ever since

2. When and why did you join 8WayRun.com?
I think I joined in November of last year....and I joined because I wanted to connect with other fellow SC players since nobody seemed to even know about SC in my neighborhood

3. Are you following the competitive community, or maybe you prefer being a casual player?
I prefer to stay as casual player simply because I'm not a competitive person by nature but I do like to win and I'm not afraid of a challenge~

4. Do you watch SC tournament streams?
Yes! They help me~ I like to see how the pros do it and what tricks they use and how the space themselves and things such as that~ Also for fun~

5. Is SC the only fighting game you are interested in?
No, I enjoy the Super Smash Bros. games,Street Fighter, and I just got started on Tekken~ I really like Lili

6. What controller do you mind yourself more comfortable with?
Hm, controllers that are not the arcade stick...I find the stick too difficult to handle ~

7. Are you satisfied with SCV?
Heck ya! It's loads of fun...with other people. But the Creation is great fun also~

8. Are you looking forward more to another installment or maybe an enhanced version of SCV?
I would prefer another installment to keep the series running also I would like to see how the new characters develop and what new features they add :D I don't want a SCV Version 2.0

9. Who would you like to see interviewed in the upcoming episode of the Interview Time! ?
Not sure...I suppose anyone who hasn't been interviewed :o That way everyone has had a chance to be interviewed~

Those are my answers, thank you for the interview~ ( -^^-)
 
1) Got Soul Blade and realized it was a fighting game without projectiles. Been a hardcore fan since although I never owned SC 1.

2) SCV was announced and I figured this place would be the best place to find any info regarding it.

3) In my eyes everyone is a player. I don't really care what you have accomplished or not.

4) I try to watch the streams as much as possible to support my favorite game franchise.

5) I like to spectate the new MK and occasionally play KoF XIII. Dead or Alive and Bloody Roar would be the only other games I actually get thrills from playing though.

6) Xbox 360 transforming D-Pad controller. My hands always feel like I'm going to break the PS3 controller and arcade sticks are just cumbersome.

7) For the most part. We could always use the missing characters back.

8) Well I will support a single rerelease if it puts the missing characters back in and maybe an across the board whiffing fix. Not doing more then one. If they decide to make SCVI then I'm 100% on board with that if it has more new styles.

9) Any Maxi or Patroklos players.
 
1. How did you start your SC journey?

Back in the Philippines, I saw the Soul Edge arcade for the first time. I was drawn to it cause it featured a lot of weapons. At some point I bought a PS1 so that I can play Soul Edge. Then SoulCalibur 1 came out. I loved that game but I was still a casual player. I accept challengers though and I won my matches from time to time. Thats when I met the SoulCalibur community of the Philippines but it was almost time for SoulCalibur 2 arcade release. I started being serious about the game when SC2 came out.

2. When and why did you join 8WayRun.com?

I joined 8wayrun during SC2 days to share and get knowledge about the game and of course the character I'm using. Now that I think about this some more...this is a tricky question actually. I know that people who have been here since SC2 days that there were 2 websites back then where the people who took Calibur seriously hanged out.

3. Are you following the competitive community, or maybe you prefer being a casual player?

Yes, I'm active in the community. I join tournaments and stuff.

4. Do you watch SC tournament streams?

Yes, but only the big tournaments.

5. Is SC the only fighting game you are interested in?

Not really, I play SC primarily but I also like Tekken.

6. What controller do you mind yourself more comfortable with?

Right now, I'm using the SFxT FightPad SD. I love the shape and comfy for my style of play.

7. Are you satisfied with SCV?

Its good enough. Its better than 4 but no better than 2. The lack of characters (and I lost my main too) is a turn-off sometimes.

8. Are you looking forward more to another installment or maybe an enhanced version of SCV?

Yes, I would like to see more characters and mechanics (and WL moves)

9. Who would you like to see interviewed in the upcoming episoded of the Interview Time! ?

Any member from SC community of the Philippines, South California, North California or Singapore.
