I've been lurking on 8WayRun for a few months now, and I finally decided to register yesterday. I partially blame social awkwardness. But I definitely love the personality on this board. =P

I got into the Soul Calibur series with IV, and I got V shortly after its release. I also vaguely remember playing II many years ago. What mostly got me into the series was the CaS feature, as I'm a total sucker for character creators of any kind, although there are a few characters I would actually like to learn (Mitsurugi, Pyrrha, Patroklos, and Xianghua/Leixia). My only problem is that I tend to get a little overwhelmed and intimidated even thinking of trying to remember dozens of different inputs.

Kinda wish I had more to say, but I'm completely unsure on what else to add here... Haha.
 
Welcome to the forums. Hope you have a dandy time posting/lurking your mind away. What character do you mostly play as?
 
You may want to focus on Mitsurugi for awhile if you feel remembering all the inputs of movelists is a bit of a challenge. He isn't big on combos compared to a lot of characters and tends to let the damage of individual attacks do most of the work. Something you'll want to keep in mind though is that it's a good idea to try and beat on a fallen foe; they can't easily counter your attacks laying on the ground and Mitsurugi is pretty decent at doing so too.

Pyrrha is also a great option for starting out since she's pretty versatile(she can do more or less anything everyone else can do though not necessarily as well) and has good punish ability.


Once you feel like you've gotten a grasp on the basics, it's probably time to start memorizing the most basic bits about your characters' frame data from the various SAs around here: just focus on whether an attack is positive, negative, or neutral on hit/block/miss and that'll be enough to further strengthen your game against most foes. Learning combos is good too :)



And on less robotic responses, where you from man? You play online? What console? Are you afraid?* Planning on contributing to the offline scene?


*Tira's GS B+K line because I felt like it.
 
Thank you, everyone, for both the greetings and the advice. I'll definitely start with Mitsu or Pyrrha and work from there.. hopefully I can manage to memorize some of these things!

And I knew I was forgetting a few other basic questions.. Haha. I'm from Louisiana. I have an Xbox360, though I'm not too big on online play. About contributing to the offline scene.. I'm a little unsure on that. And about being afraid.. only a little. =P
