I hate Ivy and I still think that 2 is the best.

Now that's something you don't see everyday. Somebody actually hates a character more than Xianghua in Soul Calibur 2.

 

[Yurlungur]

Naw, brute knows what he's talking about
Ivy is way more dangerous the xianghua in the right hands

 

[Brute]

For the record, I never said that I loved Xianghua.

But Ivy holds a special place in my box of loathing.

It's the ridiculous throw command input for calamity symphony?

 

[Yurlungur]

Ah, i spent 3 years of my life learning to perfect that move and do to it on a commands whim
then they fucking had to change the input

I still think two is the best but i'm an ivy main and i miss when she was stupidly good

SCII was a big old meh for me. I like IV Ivy the most.

Why not just play SCIIHD?

I see a lot of this, why don't players (not directed @ either of you) go play SCII if they miss it so much? It has online now. It's there, but no one wants to play it. I know the offline following was really good back in the day, but no one does anything about that now. You'd think it would boost the scene, but it doesn't much and that's kinda strange.

The online is awful and besides that game is ridiculously old people like playing current things, besides there are still many broken things in that game

Had Nintendo been smarter, the WiiU version could've saved it... maybe.

Who'm I kidding? I just wanted to play the "HYAAAH!" dude.

On the rare occassion I hunt someone down to play offline with, I do. Just played it again about two weeks ago.

As far as the online goes, shoddy structure aside, it's not really a community. The dedication required simply to find an opponent with a decent connection is hardly worth it. I have enough problems with that in DOA. Certainly don't need a double-dose.

I thought they fixed online. IDK I'm not wasting my coins on it, but it's still a game that can be played on older gen systems. So it is pretty current. And balance never really bothered people before (people actually think SCII was balanced mhmm), the game has a lot of dumb stuff.

This is the issue I have with a lot of people who say that SCII was the best in everything. Even if there is no online community, you have the option to play the game offline. Even though it's an old game, it's new to PS3 and 360. I think I only saw this game at EVO last year as a side tournament and it actually got a few more entrants than SCV, so where are the players at now? They have the game they wanted, but no one wants to support it (as far as I've seen in America).

I really think SCII lovers are missing out. They have the opportunity to play, but where are they? I think I'm missing something here.

I literally could of killed people in two moves with ivy and i have

The set up was literally a+k,376231a+k, 376231a+b

SC2 wasn't perfectly balanced, and the game had a lot of flaws. But, it was the best game that has come out of that system for many of us, for gameplay and other reasons.

I'm finding it perfectly challenging enough to support one fighting game's community. If I were to take on another, which I have nearly 0 interest in doing, it wouldn't be with a 12 year-old game which inevitably creates an excess of difficulty in keeping its community together.

People still played it tho.

Like I said before, it wasn't directed at you - I was mostly talking about people in the SC community AKA people who are actually interested.

Ah.

 

[Argentus]

Bought SCV. haven't played it since.

I can still use astaroth, but he's missing traits and moves that were the backbone of my playstyle before.

Plus I'm mad that my other main is gone now, and can't even be recreated in CaS.

I mostly go back and play IV still.

 

[CFW]

A bonus character made by a guest designer. Yeah, should have known you wouldn't be able to recreate that.

It's fine tho, play what you like.

This match was really fun to watch @ NEC. There were a lot of great matches, I'm gonna start looking for them.

 

[Squizzo]

Cassandra added as dlc for Lost Swords for $90

 

[Brute]

$90, eh?

Model looks uglier than SC2 verison. Typical.

 

[CFW]

Ok, but is this really a surprise since the last two were the same price. Hoping they do what they said they were gonna do.

On a positive note, she looks really fun and I'm mad as hell they charge so much.
