Soul Caliber 4

<< < (13/14) > >>

KvP:
I've always been a Voldo player.

MadassAlex:
I've always loved Soul Calibur but goddamn the fanservice is getting ridiculous.

Fletch:
I always liked Voldo's seeming randomness, but the wide hips & high heels are a bit much.

Jackie Blue:
Maxi seems to have been improved in this one.  He's easy to use, but also powerful if you learn what you're doing.

I don't like this generation's trend of "maining" characters.  It's so boring.  In the heyday of Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat 2, you could tell the really good players because they would always pick "random" at character select.  It seems like it would be so boring to play as the same character for more than a few matches in a row; right now I spread my time equally among custom characters modeled after Amy (Xiola, a ridiculously typical Anime Magical Girl, complete with witch's hat, zorro mask, cape and magic wand), Seong Mi-Na (Lucretia, a goth looking girl with glasses), Cassandra (Greta, a cross between a Russian military girl and an airline stewardess) and Mitsurugi (I forget what I named her, I just made her to fight against people who spam Mitsu and think they're "good" at using him).

But every five matches or so I always pick people at random, just so I can get the full experience of the game.

So yeah, I don't understand the mentality of "maining" characters.

JediBendu:
I for one just said that Tira is becoming my favorite, and not my main.

However, I think it would be pretty naive to not admit that playing with one character you're good at and fits how you like to play isn't effective. For instance, I have friends who can beat me with pretty much any character they'd like to in Soul Calibur, but as soon as they're playing someone as well-versed in the game as they are, they better fall back on their best character if they really do want to win.

It's a competitive mentality, and also a mentality that arises after playing a lot of the game in question, a lot of fighting games will be fairly unaffected by character choices if the two players aren't that great at the game, but the better you get at a fighting game the more fine-tuned your character choices will generally be.
