Interview Time! Episode 6: 8WayRunners

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! ?

1.- my mate randomly brought SC4 one day, and we started playing it, i was taki and he was nightmare i remember that first match :,) he won tho because we didnt understand to block and he did much more damage than me xD.
2.- i made this account just so i could answer these questions xD, but ive been using this website for about 2 months for getting answers, combos and recommended moves in my SC gameplay.
3.- yes! im a competitive person, i had only offline on SC5 for a long time so as soon as i finally got xbox live, i couldnt wait to kick some butt :D.
4.- Yes i watch other games by professionals, they are exiting, interesting and educational to watch.
5.- very much so, i love SC5 with a passion.
6.- xbox 360 controller
7.- Yeah i think its great- but it could be better with individual storys for each character, 1 or 2 more offline modes and maybe more anime looking hairstyles for creation.
8.- oooh sounds interesting :D, i would love for the creators to listen to some of the fan's ideas.
9.- FahrosTTTT?
 
1. I entered a local SC1 tourney for the lulz. Coasted through using loosely applied VF knowledge. (Played Maxi like I played VF2 Jacky.) Mainly picked up Maxi since it seemed like he had decent lows. I was ultimately destroyed by a Kilik player who I never saw again.

2. I joined at the beginning. SC.com was flagging, and it was pretty much the same situation that caused people to jump to GI.com from SC.com back in the day.

3. I don't have the time really to do anything competitively. I watch the rankings from time to time though.

4. When I can. Most tournament stuff tends to happen when I'm at work.

5. I'm interested in VF, SC, SF, KoF... I'm not that picky when it comes to fighters.

6. Arcade sticks mainly before that 6 button Ascii pads were where it was at for me.

7. I'm not a fan of just guards. Something about saying the game is geared towards offense while giving the defender an absolute defense sits wrong with me. (Or else I'm simply too lazy to explore them properly.)

8. I want a Vita version of SC V. A lot.

9. Oh Signia I guess.
 
1. How did you start your SC journey?
SCII demo in Wal-Mart. They had two controllers set up, and my brothers and I would stop by and play often! A few years later, after obsessing over the articles in old issues of Nintendo power, we pitched in to buy a copy.
SC glory was unleashed that day.

2. When and why did you join 8WayRun.com?
After hearing of SCV, I stumbled upon this site and thought it looked like an interesting community. (The site I had previously referred to for SCIV news was no longer around.)

3. Are you following the competitive community, or maybe you prefer being a casual player?
I'm definitely casual. Being competitive would be cool, but I'm nowhere near that cool. =P

4. Do you watch SC tournament streams?
No. Probably should sometime eh?

5. Is SC the only fighting game you are interested in?
Nah, Smaysh Bros. yo! xD
I guess SC and SSB are the only ones I play semi-frequently, but I do like others! I just don't have them.

6. What controller do you mind yourself more comfortable with?
Gamecube easily. It's like it was made for SC! It took awhile to get used to the 360's controller, but once you do... Meh, it's still very mediocre. -_-'

7. Are you satisfied with SCV?
Dunno, haven't played it. Looks like there are quite a few strong points, but also some weak ones. I'll reserve judgement for when (or if) I can actually play the game.

8. Are you looking forward more to another installment or maybe an enhanced version of SCV?
I suppose a new installment, just because I love seeing what's new. ;)

9. Who would you like to see interviewed in the upcoming episoded of the Interview Time! ?
Umm, more 8WR! Complete with totally new questions!
 
1. I went to GAME with my mother for some reason. They had SC2 set up on an Xbox and i used Voldo a couple of times. (Voldo has consistently been my worst character in every installment... odd, considering...) ...I continued to be terrible at the franchise and all fighting games, i was like... 11 after all, right through all of my "training" on COTS mode in SC3, until online play finally brought me up to scratch in SCIV, and systematically alienated me from every Soulcalibur community i cared to look for.

2. Caliburforum wasnt doing well... there was talk of closure, so i had a look... all i saw was fighting and arguments and a lot of people i would never want to communicate with in any way, especially not sat in the comfort of my room behind a monitor, with a keyboard. I did join soon after, but very rarely ever visited, seeing the same nonsense each time. I defended caliburforum form some time, then i left Soulcalibur all together for a while.
After a while, with caliburforum closed for some time, i had a look again and it seemed to have gotten better, so i lurked a little... Then a few months later with SCV coming out, i used this site for news, and ive stuck around a little thanks to a certain 24/7 stream, but i still dont really talk to anybody or know anybody.

3. The competitive community is filled with so much celebrity it aggravates me... beyond that, i dont find it particularly interesting to watch, probably because i dont support anybody. As im very confident with Soulcalibur i dont even use archives for instruction, like i would with other fighting games.

4. Oops, looks like i dont need to answer this one.

5. Right now, yes. Ive played my share of Marvel 3... Ive played SSFIV:AEFDBHKDBHJCDFKM and SFxT a fair bit, but i really, really do not enjoy them.

6. Controller? The single official Xbox controller with a good d-pad that i broke playing Mass Effect 2. These days, i just use the poorly made crappy replacement i bought.

7. Yes... yes... yes... hmmm... i need more character creation slots.

8. I actually would like an enhanced version rather a lot, providing i dont have to buy anything i already own. More characters and stages would be gratefully received.

9. I dont know anybody, so i dont care. You can interview me if youre incredibly desperate. No? ...suit yourself.
