AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Well for tournament play only the competitive aspect counts, so it could have zero story mode and people would still play it if it was good competitively.
France competitively likes the game but apparently most of the US doesn't. At least Tekken Tag Tournament is in there for the 3D folks, even though they're really different beasts.

Tekken X Street Fighter can't come soon enough.

THE STORY MATTERS TO ME *sequesters self within countless tomes of fighting game knowledge*

I get engrossed in fighting game stories, no matter how crazy they get.
And Soul Calibur's known for having a great story mode. V's story mode's is an embarassment to the series previous endeavors. But what sucks is that the game was supposed to have a story like that for EVERY character, not just Pterodactylus. Funding got cut and the game was rushed.
Still a fun game tho.

I dunno, what I remember from Soul Calibur IV's storymode was
Text
Fight a dozen guys
Ending cutscene
Maybe some more text in between there

At least the four all played differently.

That being said, I do feel kinda bad for Setsuka fans since Alpha Pat is using her style. A story snippet in one of the artbooks explains that Setsuka did teach Pat how to fight but since that's not mentioned in the game most people wouldn't know.


I think the three mimic characters would've been more of a problem than Pat, Alpha Pat, Pyrrha, and Pyrrha Omega to be honest.



Yeah, SoulCalibur IV didn't have a great story mode. It honestly didn't have much for folks like me who don't have anybody to play with on their level. Not saying I'm great or anything but neither of my friends have a current system so they couldn't practice at all.


A part of me thinks that maybe they did that is because Creat a Soul characters could also be used in story mode.




I hope that if(and that's a mighty big one) there is another game in the series they'll do Edge Master Mode again. It told the story for each character and like Weapon Master Mode in SoulCalibur II each stage had a different condition. Plus it unlocked your weapons and explained why each character got those random things.

My all around favorite SC game was II, and I like how they handled the story. III did ok imo but I didn't like it as much, and IV had god awful storytelling, made worse by the inclusion of the stupid flowchart.

The strategy mode in III was too cool

More Smash

That trailer too strong
Ken vs Scar get HYPE

I probably would have liked the strategy mode more if it didn't keep freezing the game for me. SC II is still my favourite out of the series.

I have played Injustice a lot and found out that Doomsday is basically Goro

Injustice has one hell of a good story.

Lois noooooooooooooooooooo I'm going to take over the world for yoooooooooouuuuuuuuu

Also bots are mean because they usually start wagers when you don't have enough meter to win

Well, why not start wager if you know you're gonna win it?
Though starting early in a combo to reduce the overall damage dealt to you is good too.

If you have an I device and want to get Injustice I would suggest getting the injustice app. It unlocks things in the main game. For example, if you unlock a Joker character card, it unlocks Harley Quinn's Arkham City costume in the main game.

FINAL EIGHT

NO MORE GODDESSES

YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
