So,is four the weakest soul calibur?

[Psylocide]

I would have to say no. Like Franman stated, there were a lot of balance issues in SCIII, in 4 they tried and succeeded in ironing some of those out. Not to say balance issues don't still exist, (obviously) but it seems like much less of a stretch between tiers than 3 was. As for online being the main focus, I don't know of a fighting game whose main focus is online. Lag in fighting games will always be a gripe and there is almost always lag when you are playing online, no matter the game. But in fighting games lag seems to be "intensified" because of sketchy timing of inputs, blocks, etc.

I don't even know about IV being better balanced than III anymore with Algol and Hilde currently available for tournament play, but the game is certainly more fun than III. Online sucks.

to me it kinda is,and the main foucus of four is online witch is not what it should be.in tearms of "extra caricters"four really had none i mean like the storekeepers in two.and tower of lot souls?dont get me started!i love four dont get me wrong but they could have came a lot harder.whats your oppion?

I find this post difficult to understand, for obvious reasons. I don't even want to know what "came even harder" is supposed to mean.

imo the new characters in IV are great. The three actual Soulcalibur characters, Algol, Amy, and Hilde, are actually good, unlike a lot of the new characters in SC3.

Amy is from SCIII.

As for Hilde and Algol, though they both caused controversy for the community, I think they are good additions to the series.

I don't think IV is the weakest Soul Calibur. I'll always consider III the weakest because I didn't enjoy it more than SCII or I and I'm enjoying SCIV a hell of a lot more than III.

The only thing I was greatful for about III was it introducing Setsuka and Tira. That's it.

IMO. I played SC2 and stopped there. I didn't even give 3 a try. HORRIBLE. After that, I didn't even want to look at 4. After playing 4. It really feels like 2. And my my is it so pretty. After adding Hilde and Algol, It shook the community. Seeing that we all fell asleep in 3. Now I am hooked on 4 more than ever. And now that SC is hitting the psp with a new Character, which I didn't understand why the hell they did that, until I saw the new PSP GO, which now makes sense, it makes me wonder if and how 5 will come about. That's all I got for now.
