Soul Calibur 3?

[A.D.]

Any Soul Calibur 3 fans here?

I'm a Siegfried master, and I also play a little Nightmare on the side.

[Venom]

its called kilik ,necrid, voldo and yeun-sun is i spelt that right but i litteraly prefered soul calibur 2 and soul blade over this muderderd version of a decent sword-play game

[A.D.]

WHAT?

I like SC3 waaaaay better then the second one. Sure the chornicles of the sword mode is stupid and the create your own character deal is dumb (sometimes the random creations are funny, I do the best when my random creations aren't wearing pants)

Necrid isn't on the third one, Voldo I think was neutered in this version (I was very good with him in SC2, SC3 I suck w/him). Kilik is good but I can't stand playing as/against him. Yuen-Sung was always a so-so character, still the same in SC3.

I'm working on getting better with Zasalamel, I mean c'mon, he's a badass with a Scythe..

I am for sure a Soul Blade\Soul Caliber fan (including SC2). In Soul Blade I am a big fan of Sigfried\Cervantes, in SCII I liked Nightmare, Mitsurugi, Raphael, Cervantes. Never played SC3 yet, I would really be torn between Nightmare\Sigfried as my main-man... it really depends how well they brought back Sigfried.

I don't know if I will buy SC3, they GOT RID OF WEP MASTER and replaced it with some fast-paced RTS game, not counting the 30 seconds loading time everytime you get into a fight!

It is odd to me at the end of Soul Blade, the Sigfried ending has him become Nightmare when the blade corrupts his soul, yet he is back now?

[A.D.]

Er, what is Weapon Master's mode? Is it like Tale of Souls mode in SC3 where you go through each character's story?

The RTS does suck however, I used my CodeBreaker to hurry up and get through it to unlock all the crap.

SC3 Siegfried plays pretty much just like Nightmare of SC2, Nightmare of SC3 has a shorter rage, but seems a touch quicker & tougher. He only has a couple of his old moves, the rest is all new. He seems decent enough, I can get through quickplay without dying with either character.

What makes Siegfried really badass is he has this move (down down triangle i think) where he goes into a sidestep, but then spins around and slaps your opponent with the flat of his blade on your opponents side, which is perfect for surprise ring-outs (if you are standing parallel to the edge of the ring it'll knock em out easy)

I'm not 100% sure how the story goes, but i think Siegfried is out to redeem himself after he reverts back from Nightmare. However I guess NIghtmare somehow becomes a seperate entity from Siegfired, and roams the countryside killing mortals and taking souls. So Siegfried sets out to destroy Nightmare. So both characters appear on SC3


*edit* Oops, yeah, no Weapons Master's mode. Remember it now from SC2. Truthfully I wish they'd scrap the alternate play modes alltogether and just focus on getting a solid story going. And mabye do some better english translations, some of the lines the characters spout and the in-game text is just.. Strange to read, if you know what I mean.

first off soul blade was bad ****ing ass since your can reach a point in fighting where your weapon breaks and the games becomes something totally different

sc2 was my fav but...

sc3 my god did i want to die after playing it, the rts was insulting

creation has its moments but the plot was the same for every character at least in soul blade and sc2 there were some differences (well i think for sc2)
i played it for 2 days and im never planning on buying it again
they should have stoped at sc2

i prefer the soul blade nightmare over sc2's

[wm_hunter]

There was no nightmare in SB, only Sigfried?

Thanks for the Sig\NM story Almost, I was too lazy to Google.

[Venom]

well yah SB was the begining and when sigy gets it well all hell breaks loose with him in some ****ing killing black armor and a sweet sword just wish i could find a image of it (just to lazy)
but i still love the intro for soul blade :D

looking back at sigy we looked like a wimp

[chicken-nuggets_ARE_TASTY]

i luv dis game i pretty good at it with kilik

[A.D.]

Arg venom, the SC3 intro is 10x better than that.

And chicken, anyone can be good with Kilik on SC. It's just 90% of us prefer not to play the token-gay character.

[SilverTears]

Hmm, to be honest I was never really a big fan of Soul Calibur. I mean the characters look really good but.. it just doesent go for my taste. I dont think I ever played Soul Calibur 3. Can anyone tell me, is there a story line to it or just like an arcadish game thing.

[Venom]

sc3 has a dead story line
sc2 is decent
sb has the best (personally)
whats so bad about the intro then and if you mention the shoody gfx ill kill you...
i was best with necrid, cervanties and yeun-sung(is that his name?!?!?)

[A.D.]

I cant speak for SB becuase I never played it, but the storylines are all diced up in both the sequels. You play the Tale of Souls mode on SC3 which you can choose your character's path, but for the most part it's some stenciled 'go left or go right' decision with stories that are copied between some characters, its just has a plastic rushed feeling and reading through the roughly translated dialogue is sometimes a chore. That and some of the character's ending sequences (all of them have two different ones) seem poorly done.

I can see how that influnces people's opinion on the game, but really I don't play for the storylines (though if the fleshed it out completely and made it compelling for each characters...) I just play for pure gameplay mechanic, and I think SC3 is superior to SC2 in that regard.
