well. dont button mash then.

a player that knows the moves and knows what he is doing can slaughter a button masher.

You would think ,but somehow in Soul Calibur, a button masher can fluke a win or so.

If you challenge an expert over a few goes, he will kick ur ass

My friends bought the game, so I should get a chance to play it soon. Hopefully this Saturday if I get to come over.

Must play as Link, even if he sucks.

Dylflon · 08-29-2003, 02:52 PM

Link is good. I think he's the cheapest character in the game.

Yeah I think I read that in a review, Link is the only (?) ranged character..

I got spawn. hes ok but necrade(dont know how to spell his name im not looking at it)is cool he has a combination of different charactors moves.

My friend played the arcade version and said it was sweet... he said he played conquest mode, but i don't think it's on the console systems... he sayd that yoshimitzu was the best... with the flea hopper trick... funny. before this game came out, i had no idea what that stupid thing was... i thought it was a taunt...

Naw, Kilik has pretty good range. He has a really long stick he hits people with.

Null · 08-29-2003, 06:02 PM

EGM said necrid is the cheapest. being able to imitate many of the other characters moves.

i still like Maxi best. more i learn on him more i like.

Whats the best you guys have gotten on Survival?

just tried that for the first time got 7. but i know i can do better then that. damn Ivy's reach with that damn whip.

Yeah, he's got arrows. It pisses me off because you try to do a soul charge but Link over there is knocking you off. Very annoying.

And of course you wouldn't straight-button mash with this game, and yeah, it is luck sometimes, but it's still the most vulnerable game to it. But it doesn't hinder at all, really.

I remember the last time a game was this big and accused of being a button masher was Tekken 3. Egm did a "study" of sorts. They pulled like a dozen people in off the street who had never played video games before and had they take eddy or paul (two of the biger tekken masher characters) and had them go up against the best tekken players in the office. They played ten rounds each and were told to just pound on the controls and not a one of them was able to win more than 2 of 10 matches.

Well I can tell you that I've challenged many button mashers @ Kof, and they have basically NO chance of beating an expert (like me).

The other day me and my friend teamed up and we got 38 wins in a row (against other experts of course).

And i'm not making that up

I bought the game and it completely met my expectations. The fighting is deep as usual with many things to learn from each character. Sometimes the battles get heated up alot and kinda looks like a coreaography (sp?) from a movie. There's so many reversals and stuff. I've always like this 3d fighter best.

PD: Why the heck did Namco give that Berseker freak seven costumes but left Ivy only with two. And that's not to say that her second costume is lousy as hell.

Dyne · 08-31-2003, 03:01 AM

You might be able to unlock more. Dylflon bought more costumes for other characters like Nightmare and Taki.. I'm sure there's more for Ivy.

Ohh, well! Thanks, I hope they included more for her. Now, unto the next rant. WHY THE HELL DIDN'T THEY MAKE CGI CINEMAS FOR THE ENDINGS? And don't anybody tell me "look at DOA3 and see if they're any good" because SC has what DOA doesn't, and that's a great story line. The game is great, but they didn't improve things that were obvious.
