What makes SC series better than other FG?

for me 3D fighters hold over 2D fighters in my heart ~ Soul Cal was always one of my top 3 since I've been playing since Sega Dreamcast but it wasn't until IV that I actually put it on top above D.O.A. and Tekken ~ I've kind of lost interest in Tekken so I'm mainly D.O.A. and Soul Cal kind of gay... but I am wondering if there is any hope for new 3D fighters or is it always going to be D.O.A.+TEKKEN+SC+VF+BR and I'm not talkin' 3D fighters with a 2D play-scheme like SFIV and whatnot but I remember I enjoyed some games back in the day that were actually other games not part of the above mentioned... (pardon if I get some of these wrong but Tao Fist.Marvel Nemesis,Power Stone,Rival Schools?) are some that I would actually want to return...
anyways one of the major things that I like about SC above other fighters is it's not so combo heavy as others where you can almost completely deplete their health gauge with one whole combo,which is another reason I love DOA because they can be punished easily with a counter but yeah... idk if I make any sense :I

I'm still not getting the point of your criticism.

Mostly I was just trying to see if others feel the same way as I do about SC.


What stands out in SC? What makes it a good game compared to others like it (FG)?

Calm down. I'm just telling you it as it is. If you can't shrug off criticism, then I guess online discussions are not for you? I mean, it's inevitable that someone will misunderstand your intentions.

Majority would probably agree with you on something that's been said about what makes SC stand out and all that jazz. Are you trying to reassure yourself to think and have many kindred spirits agree with you? I mean, I agree with you on the basic stuff SC has except on the Tekken part which someone else covered. But, I don't know why you feel you need to make this thread. To me, it's like saying which way is up? Up obviously.


To stay on topic, SC only stands out because of it's niche of being the only solid weapon fighting game. I like SC because of the gameplay, CAS, and the whole nine yards over say Tekken which is fist fighting except about juggling mind games which I can't get into. SC isn't super hard for me to learn the basics unlike Tekken. It doesn't demand me to do too much execution unless I play an execution heavy character/ pull off a hard combo or moves. And I generally have more fun just playing it. But I'm pretty much repeating Synraii's post except rehashed in my words. I'll stop here.
 
Well duh, of course it's the best. Close the thread.

Haha, sorry, I had to.

I see where you were going with the thread, I think it was just the wording that made people think you were saying that other fighters suck.

I personally find almost every fighter I've played to be fun, it's just my preferred genre of game. My preference would be Soulcalibur>>>>>>>>Tekken>>Street Fighter>Virtua Fighter>>Everything else that I'm too lazy to list.

The simple reasoning behind my heavy preference for SC is that I find it more fun. I like other fighters and play them reasonably frequently, but there's something about Soulcalibur's unique mechanics and charming cast of characters that I just love.
