Soul Caliber 4
s42:
A friend picked up SC4 and we played it for a good 36 hours straight.
I like it a lot, but it doesn't really hold the same magic that SC2 held for me, part of this is just that some of the contexts for the moves are ridiculous now. (DO THIS FOUR BUTTON COMBO WHILE BACKFLIPPING WHICH IS ITSELF A 3 BUTTON COMBO TO DO A MOVE THAT YOU NEVER ACTUALLY MANAGED TO PULL OFF DELIBERATELY) It's good, but block doesn't really seem to be all that useful sometimes, especially if you've got some dick sitting there spamming Raphael's forward Y a bunch, but this might just be because I suck at fighting games. Really, once I learned to counter though, I was doing pretty well. It can be a pain in the ass to turn the momentum of a battle though.
Jackie Blue:
Oh yeah, the "fatalities" are a neat idea. I've only managed to do one but it was pretty awesome looking.
Seconding the ridiculously elaborate combos that no one will ever use, ever.

What would you suggest they do, then? Have a lower-priced option that cuts you off after you've used up your monthly hour limit? Maybe I haven't thought this out, but it seems like it would be diffiicult to predict how much you're going to play and choose a service accordingly. What if you get irrationally addicted to something?
Regardless, I just prefer the controller/interface/game library, and I don't mind paying the 50$ a year, because I do use it frequently.

Oh man yeah, the fatalities are pretty mad awesome. We only ever got one happening, and I was the most unfortunate victim.
I think on the one hand the thing about the moves in this game is that they *seem* to be context based, and that there are a lot more contexts than in previous games, making the combat on the one hand more unpredictable but on the other hand making it retardedly difficult to make your character do any one thing.
I think Zerodrone is saying you'd put your credit card number in or something and it'd just charge you on a game by game basis, that is if I play one round of SC4 online that's all I get charged for, end of story, instead of getting ass balls raped on a monthly charge. The monthly charge is the reason I don't have Live, it's simply not justifiable with the amount of online play I do. Some people I know find it to work for them but those people get home from work or school or whatever and just play. Like that's it. They sit down and it's halo 3 or gears of war or Call of Duty, whatever. Not for me.
Blue Kitty:
I've gone through all of the Fatalities, but then again training mode sets it up pretty well. I have to say Yoda's is the most badass.
I can't say I like what they did to story mode (why the hell is it 4-5 stages long?) but everything else seems to be okay. Haven't gone online with it though.
Another thing, why did they jam 5 characters into one slot?
