AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I love Nightmares new moves oh god!
I've been playing nightmare since the Dreamcast days and I've never had this much fun with SC.

I'm troll flipping people out of the ring ALL OVER THE PLACE.

Ok, so it took me about 2 and a half hours to beat the story mode in SCV. I enjoyed it but since it went for a canon story instead of having individual character endings, half the characters didn't even show up in the story mode. So far, out of the characters I've used (I've only done story mode so far), here is what I think.

ZWEI: Can't get a feel for him. The ZWEI v Nightmare fight in story took me forever (lost like 5 times) because I can't figure out what I'm doing with him (and Nightmare kept using that god daisies brave edge counter move.)
Patroklos: I was doing pretty well with him by the end. Not really a replacement for Cass/Soph, but he's alright.
Alpha Patroklos: I never liked Setsuka, but somehow this works for me. I think they must have beef'd up the style a bit.
Pyrrha: Like a glove. That clumsy as hell stance and throws, those moves that I came to love in previous games, those god daisies freckles... I'm so sorry!
Pyrrha Omega: EVERYONE'S GETTING RAPED OH MY GOD!

Gonna have to play arcade and quick battle to try some of the other characters, but right now it looks like I'll end up being a Pyrrha or Omega player, which I guess isn't a big surprise since I used Cassandra or Sophitia in the previous games.

I don't care my personality calls out to Yoshimitsu and Dampierre

I don't care how shit i'll be

Also I'm signing up for that tournament wish me luck bros I got a whole... week to train for it

Kilik seems to take that role. He seems to switch weapons every round. Saw him with his staff, cervantes sword n dagger, asta's axe etc.

There are three mimics in SCV actually. One has all the movesets, Kilik has male movesets and Elysium has female movesets.

how is yoshi this time round, hes the only person i really played before

The character creator is the greatest thing in anything ever oh my god

Also Natsu's style is pretty fantastic.

>that feel when you go online for the first time and completely shut out your opponent

Sorry Ivy player, you were no match for my scared, little Pyrrha (who proceeded to pass out when I won...god daisies it Pyrrha.) Ranked and Player matches are pretty standard, but the Global Colosseo is pretty neat since it's set up like a big chat room where you can just talk to people and start fights and tournaments.

According to tier lists Yoshimitsu is B-tier

to me he is SHIKUZOKU~ ZEKUU. tier.

13-7 so far, I'm alright with that even though half the people didn't really know what they were doing

But I don't really know any good combo's yet so I'm sort of playing footsies which goes out the window when the guy does YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Fixed.

Haven't been online yet today, but the guy I played yesterday didn't seem like he knew exactly what he was doing, either. Had some basic combos he kept trying to do but he didn't try to just guard, 8 way run, or even attempt a critical edge, although to be fair, I'm pretty shit at just guards too. I just chalk it up to it being a new game. At least I've got my combos down now, for the most part.

Don't try to Just Guard shit, work on the basics first

I found that side stepping is mindblowing to avoid some stuff for me since I havent played 3D FG's since Tekken 5

And I learned it very quickly when fighting the Ezio Army online with all the gun/crossbow shit

Oh look you shot and now you have a bad case of swordface.


Good thing Markman tweeted me some basic combos

I GET MY SHIT FROM THE SOURCE.

Spend like 3 hours on Soul Calibur 5, dicking around creating characters and fighting CPU in Quick Battle. Played for a bit less than an hour with an online pal too.

Very good.

Congrats MK fans, maybe this MLG deal will bring in new blood to the MK scene.

I see what you unintentionally did there
