I just got soul caliber 5 and am sad to say its my least favorite soul caliber
ever
Here are my complaints:
(Mind you i've played this series since 2 came out when i was like 10 and i'm almost 20 now safe to say i usually LOOOVE this series!)
They've given some old moves really weird delays/timings
And certain characters fighting styles have been waaaay overpowered (setsune/patrokolos and astroth much?) while others have been critically weaken (what the hell sophitia style?).
The AI seems really unbalanced i get frustrated with a few fighting styles in normal mode in ways i only experienced in past games when i was playing on ******** mode. While the majority of the characters i can wipe up in an instant.
All in all the changes are making it really hard for someone like me, who are used to how its battle engine used to work and how the characters used to be balanced.
And the one player/offline play seems to have be totally sloppily made, the usually big story modes have been reduced to 2 hours worth of play and 3 characters stories at best!
They have 3 mimics while removing 3 of the older characters (talim even though she stank in 4 i remember her fondly from 2, zasalamel and seung mina.)
And other than quick play there's no fun fighting mode like tower of souls or w/e.
:/ All this makes me rather disappointed, this is my favorite fighting game series.
Has anyone else played it and felt some of this?
