Soulcalibur VI (PC, PS4, Xbox One) marks the return of the fabled weapon-focused fighting game. Does it live up to the name? Let's talk. Subscribe for more: / gameranxtv
Suck at fighting games but I can tell this is a good one. Long live Voldo, that creepy bastard. Hopefully those netcode issues that have been reported by some get fixed soon.
I will get it once I got my money workout. I'm now having hard time to settle bills. So pray for me to settle the bills and get soul calibur 6 deluxe edition
Soul Calibur is my favorite fighting game. I knew about it when I was in the hospital because of an accident. I played it everyday on my PSP. I'm glad they gave us the 6th.
The main reason I liked Soul Calibur V was just the customization. Spending hours refining a character concept is pretty fun to share with friends, which is something you might not be able to fully communicate with just writing a story or doing a drawing. Started doing that in 2012, and I still haven't used up all 50 slots or deleted a character.
That's my favorite part too. I had all 50 slots full of some great ass characters like Kurt Cobain and Woody and the Hash Slinging Slasher, I just liked playing online to show off my creations. Can't wait to see what the create-a-character is like in SC6
I’m playing this game at the moment. Can’t say how fun it is without totally geeking out. It’s a back to the past kick ass fighting game. Amazing in its art style freedom while creating characters, that do immerse themselves in story mode
yes... This game is fun.... UNTILL you fight against lv50-70 AI in story mode the AI at that level is like fighting a high ranked player that plays like he is in a evo compitition!
I don't know about the rest of you, but the Chronicles of the Sword campaign from SC3 was my all time fondest memory of any fighting game as a kid. I absolutely loved the RTS+RPG elements along with being able to create multiple characters. I absolutely loved it and I wish they would bring it back!
I tried getting into Mortal Kombat but jesus christ it's too technical. 3 fucking stances for each character with different move sets for each. I'm not committing days of my life to a character to "find out if I like him" lol Soul Calibur is fun for everyone and easy to determine which characters are suited to your play style.
@@RJ-rp8yd Games like MK are just not fun for me. It has me studying a move set like it's for a final exam lol It's just a little overwhelming to remember so much shit although I'll admit I have done lots of drugs in the past. I'm certain that isn't helping either 😏
A statement they made after people bashed them for making Tira a day one DLC character and her character trailer was flooded with people saying they were going to buy the game pre-owned or wait for a complete edition.
Shit dude was that the tower defense type mode where you could take over and war over territories? dude that shit was the best! SC3 is still my favorite because of that mode
The reason I favor Soul Calibre more than my other two favorites, Street Fighter, and Tekken, is because of the side-stepping feature. It makes the match very three-dimensional, and most opponents aren't thinking in those terms, so you can literally side-step after an exchange of blows and if your opponent doesn't catch it, you can finish him/her in short order. :-)
Shorty OMG guys we have the almighty Virgin Sage Lord before us. Everybody quickly kneel so that he may bless us with the “you’re too young to understand”.
Whoop!? And because of that I have 6 mains lamo. Half the moves are still the same...and now I'm crying a little inside because I remebered all that shit T.T
It's a definite buy for me. I love these games and been playing them since the early ones on PS1. The most fun you can get out of that game is creating crazy looking characters with friends and fighting each other.
I’ve been playing Soul Caliber since I first saw it in an arcade I believe I was around 10 years old I’m 31 now. This one is my favorite one due to the campaigns and the character creation. The character I miss the most though is Darth Vader from the PS3.
Do you know if it works the same way? You know with attacking the towers and controlling every character and having different objectives? Because if so im ready the blow my money, chronicles of the sword is probably my favorite thing to play ever.
I grow up with soul blade on the ps1 and I still love it to this day but honesty it really makes me sad that no one really ever talks about it I mean come on it’s the game that really started this franchise and yet no one ever acknowledges it.
Soulblade on playstation was the first game i ever got as a kid. My dad and I would stay up all night playing it. I really wish they would have keep that mechanic in soul blade were you can lose your weapon and have to fight with your fist.
I'm really glad to say that I've already bought it. What I miss from the game is everything that has ever been cut from a previous SoulCalibur game. The characters, gallery, stage descriptions, battle theatre, fatalities, that part at the end where it says "The legend will never die" and then the screen fades to black while you punch in random attacks. Unlocking stuff, the tower of souls, Weapons breaking in Soul Blade, the story mode from 3 where you could wind up in a secret battle with the secret character Night Terror, The custom fighting styles for the character creator etc. I think what i miss the most is the character creation mode from IV though as it had a lot of really nice pieces that were cut for this new one and I always enjoyed the contrast between how epic some characters could look while you make some look absolutely ridiculous to match gauges etc. even if just for a specific fight. I really loved that though I hear some didn't. I want to see if there is more gear to unlock for this creation mode before I bemoan it too much though I think that what we see is what we'll get. I think the only thing I haven't been crazy about is the part of the story where they decide that Soul Calibur was a part of Soul Edge and could either be compatible with or was necessary to be destroyed in order to destroy Soul Edge.
I love watching your before you buy videos before i decide to pick up a copy of a title. But recently I’ve been transferred at work to electronics and your channel is very helpful to me it gives me a better source of knowledge (well as far as our game selections XD) but ty for the information.
I am going to say this: Tekken, Mortal Kombat, and Soul Caliber are fighting Games that have reached God hood and want to left alone, but we mortals just want to dragon them back from the ascension they deserve. Soul Caliber is like many game Franchises when they are forgotten the visit us once more, I have enjoyed this series since the Days of arcade for it, back in Vegas, that was my first experience with this. I have played everyone of them till I just could not bear to watch it leave the shelves due to them being left behind or overshadowed by others of the genre. I really do look forward to getting my hands on this game and Learning more about it. I wonder if some of the new characters will ever shine as bright as Soul Caliber 1 through 4. Sc5 had it own unique Charm, but it was the Story that dragged it through the mud only two Playable characters when you have an entire Roster. As time passes on this game we shall see if it can live up to its ancestors. Sorry this was long winded.
Now here is a fan of the game I, no We love to the core of all fighting games, If you ever need a partner to spar with, let me just grind off the rust and and blow off the dust. And get the game. If you are still playing it then. Sarah
I fell in love with the fighting in SCIV because it was easy to get into and didn’t have the somewhat steep learning curve of some other fighting games. (My opinion anyway). I loved the character creation and the way the story was told as you go through the story of what’s happening with each character. My favourite part was the soul link I think it was called where you could go around and see the premise of all the characters stories and how the interconnected. I loved that especially. With V the story did feel more focused however I missed the variety from four as a result of it just focusing on Pyrrha and Patrokles or however they’re spelt. All in all I’m excited for six and I hope to buy it soon.
Talim is my favorite character and has been since Soulcalibur II days when I was a kid. I was so upset when SCV came out and not only did they not have Talim (cause it was in the future with like apprentices), they also completely abandoned her style. Like Xianghua was represented through Leixia and Cassandra and Sophitia through Pyrrha and Patroklas, but Talim had no representation with her elbow blades and her fighting style at all. I am so excited to be able to play as Talim again.
I played this game so much with my older brother growing up, I'll have to buy this one at some point! Our favorite weapons were the wave swords and grieve edge which I don't remember being in the game past SC3 (I played 4 for a little while but that was it) but there's too much nostalgia to pass this up!
This game is an absolute gem! Bandai Namco brought out the in-development version once a week at a venue in Tokyo and I've had a chance to play for the last couple of months with a slimmer roster. It's really easy to just pick up a new character and feel somewhat competent if you're familiar with fighting games in general. I used to be a "stick to one character" kind of guy, but everyone here has so much to offer that you really should try out all characters :)
Looking back on this, SC series remains my favorite fighting game series. I've played MC, Tekken, SF yada yada. But they just didn't stick like SC does.
Dude, the speed of play is so much better than previous entries. I love that it went back to retell the story from the beginning, with all the original characters and not Xiba, Natsu and Leixia from 5. Didn’t get to play more than a couple of hours tonight (pre ordered the deluxe edition on PS4) and I’m debating calling out from work tomorrow just to play more 😅
Loved soul caliber 2 on the game cube and 3 on the PlayStation 4 was ok but 5 was hot garbage. 6 has me excited again and I got the collectors edition as well cause I can never find soul caliber stuff
I have very fond memories of this series and i hope to gain more with this release. My favorite characters are Yoshimitsu, Cervantes and Ivy. I can also chop it up with Voldo because as "weird" as he is it can play to my advantage because his movements aren't conventional
I love the SC series, played 3 a lot at a friends house and spent countless hours on 4. When 5 came out it was the first time I felt so burned by the franchise that I didn't want to look into buying 6. As of right now with all the custom character creations and everything you listed coming back I'm going to keep my eye on it for awhile and wait for some bugs to fix before I buy it. I'm thrilled that they brought back characters and modes I've missed from past games so this might be one I pick up when it drops on sale.
I'm definitely going to buy SC6. As for what my favorite game mode of past Soul Caliburs was, it was from Soul Calibur 3 I believe, was called Chronicles of the Sword or something like that. It was the game mode where you have to take and enter bases and each character had their own special properties. It was such a weird mode to see in a game mode but I loved it and played the hell out of it lol. Kind of like the old gamecube game Yugioh Falsebound Kingdom, it was so different from what you'd expect from the series.
The last Soul Calibur game i played was 3. So hopefully It's good. My buddy and i use to play the second one all the time! Not huge fighting game fight but, this is an acception.
My literal only complaint is the lack of items in character creation, definitely not deal breaking just suuuper disappointing. This game seems like it'll sell well (i hope it smashes publisher/dev expectations) so hopefully they'll support the game with more content over time
Carnege50 they’re coming out with 300 more items for it here soon, but I think that’ll be it for now. Honestly, that’s my only complaint as of now too.
These are my favorite fighting games. I still remember playing Soul Edge in the arcade. I've seen this one referred to as a "worthy successor to SCII", so I really hope that's true because that's still probably my favorite entry in the series.
Its one of my favorite series. My friends and I really enjoyed the ice level to battle in and was disappointed that we couldn't find it in sc5. I hope they bring that back in 6.
Actually played SC4 as my first fighting and SC game... Fell in love with all of it, actually ended up hugely disappointed by SC5 though. I actually like the look of this one, Hope it'll bring back the fun i had on SC4! P.s good video Gameranx!
the 8-way run feature is what gives SC the edge over all the other 3d fighters, including Tekken (the best one). It's such a free-flowing game, and having character customization (even if it's minor) is a huge huge huge huge huge deal. It has infinite replayability for me and I will *always* buy a new SC game.
I have been waiting for this Soulcalibur for such a long time, and i honestly didnt even know it was coming out till i saw some people playing it on Twitch the day it released. I instantly bought the game, and im in LOVE with this Soulcalibur. Like you said it has many many hours of solo gameplay which is awesome, and while the fighting is very similar to the previous one, it does add a couple new things with bring even greater depth to the fighting system than any previous Soulcalibur game. If you like fighting games, this is a MUST buy in my opinion, and if you are thinking about getting into fighting games, this is the perfect game to start out
I’ve been playing the soul Calibur Siri ever since I first saw it in the arcade. I believe at that time it was called Sol edge. I’m playing through this one because I get it for free with my PlayStation plus membership. And even if I didn’t, I would probably purchase it. It is as awesome and fun as I remember the series to be. I’m looking forward to meeting the game and digging out with it. Lol.
I buy it yesterday and ohh my its full my expectations as a soul calibur fan. Pick up Talim and Voldo training them to play online . definitely was worth to waiting
I haven't really noticed it until recently but the fact that you fight with weapons rather than fist is why I love soul caliber more than other fighting games.
One of my favorites was Soulcalibur for gamecube. The ability to play as Link (from Zelda) was so much fun, and xbox had spawn. I wish there was an ultimate release upon completion that all characters from previous iterations became available.
Love it. I want more cuatomazation items. Plus maybe some new weapon types in a DLC would be good to. Already got the first one and it only came with one new weapon type. Plus it would be real cool if you could level up your character online and either get stronger, get unique items or even spacial attacks or alternate fighting styles to the current weapons. I wanna dual wield long swords.
I am so excited for this game. Cant wait until my copy comes in the mail. Kilik is by far my favorite character along with Xinghua and Seung Mena. I hope Xbox One X doesn't have the input lag problem. The last Soul Calibur game I played was part 2. I heard this is a return to form, so pumped for tomorrow.
My all time favorite soul calibur game, is soul calibur 4. I absolutely love how the gear effected your stats. So you could have life steal, higher damage, or just high hp, or even regenerating hp. Just made the customization feel way more in depth when you create and play with you own character. Ill still buy it just to support them, but im hoping its like soulcalibur 4, ive been hoping for a soulcalibur 4 to come to xboxone. Id buy full price easily.
ContraMundi I grew up with Tekken, but I felt like this kinda had a better feel than Tekken. It seemed more engaging to me and versatile when it came to the outcome of battle. Now I do feel like Tekken had a better story (along with its animations)
always been a fan of fighting games and tekken and soul calibur been in top 2 spots for me. Did notice seems to be a little slower pacing to the combat compared to previous titles, not a bad thing really but remember playing with friends at houses and combat feeling faster and more frantic is all. Got the game on publishers sale for under $20 and had get hwang and hao-samurai guy. Been awhile since played SC title but looks all in all like an amazing addition to the franchise and addition of new chars definetely adds to the appeal.
I was thinking about getting this game, but in Canada it’s $80, and even though I wanna play as Geralt, I’m not a huge fighting game fan and as a kid with no job looking forward to games coming out in 2019, I really need to start saving. With that said, should I get this game? Certainly I can always find other ways to accumulate the money necessary to get the games I’m excited for, but I’m not sure if $80 is worth it...
I have been playing since Soul Blade when I was like 3. And it’s so awesome to see that they are staying true to the same gameplay. They even have the same animations, characters, and voice actors from the year 2000. I know what I’m getting next paycheck lol.
Suck at fighting games but I can tell this is a good one. Long live Voldo, that creepy bastard.
Hopefully those netcode issues that have been reported by some get fixed soon.
Can I get some subs?
Of course you made Solid Snake.😂
I remember the soul calibre wit the "malfested" do you remember that?
I will get it once I got my money workout. I'm now having hard time to settle bills. So pray for me to settle the bills and get soul calibur 6 deluxe edition

Lol being harrased by the " I don't go outside" crowd.
idk, I follow lots of personalities in the FGC and it was all over my feed :O
Soul Calibur is my favorite fighting game. I knew about it when I was in the hospital because of an accident. I played it everyday on my PSP. I'm glad they gave us the 6th.
Me to :)
3 was probably the best of the series but 5 had an awesome character creator
Imagine getting to play soul Calibur on your PSP while I had to sit and watch public TV last time I was there
The main reason I liked Soul Calibur V was just the customization. Spending hours refining a character concept is pretty fun to share with friends, which is something you might not be able to fully communicate with just writing a story or doing a drawing.

Yes indeed, just taking of everything there is on ivy just fullfills me
That's my favorite part too. I had all 50 slots full of some great ass characters like Kurt Cobain and Woody and the Hash Slinging Slasher, I just liked playing online to show off my creations. Can't wait to see what the create-a-character is like in SC6
You'll be so disappointed...
wait why will be we dissapointed?
hope we can fight our customs in a ai vs ai
I’m playing this game at the moment. Can’t say how fun it is without totally geeking out. It’s a back to the past kick ass fighting game. Amazing in its art style freedom while creating characters, that do immerse themselves in story mode
yes... This game is fun.... UNTILL you fight against lv50-70 AI in story mode
the AI at that level is like fighting a high ranked player that plays like he is in a evo compitition!
Yup, chapter 5 is nothing but cheese and bullshit.
I don't know about the rest of you, but the Chronicles of the Sword campaign from SC3 was my all time fondest memory of any fighting game as a kid. I absolutely loved the RTS+RPG elements along with being able to create multiple characters. I absolutely loved it and I wish they would bring it back!
I feel the same, they should make a whole game of this
Totally agree. I loved the SC3 campaign
Im not a fighting game fan...I'm a Soul Calibur fan!!!
Ahhh i see a man of class im going to make the dilldo man and go back into ranked
..umm, soul calibur *is* a fighting game
I tried getting into Mortal Kombat but jesus christ it's too technical. 3 fucking stances for each character with different move sets for each.

@@LungEater Well...they can be happy with themselves when the franchise is dead.
SoulCalibur, Mortal Kombat, Virtua Fighter and Killer Instinct are my all-time favorite fighting games. I hope SC6 will be very successful
Rip killer instinct
Why virtua fighter and not tekken
Soul calibur, Tekken, and Skull girls are main fighting games I play. I played the hell out of Soul Calibur 4, and 3.
Fucking killer instinct. Lord it's been a while.
@@Rounexplainedvidsp maybe because virtua fighter came first and inspired tekken almost in everything
I sorely, sorely missed the Chronicles of the Sword mode from Soul Calibur 3 but the RPG mode of 6 seems interesting.
Same, I loved COTS for Soul Calibur 3 so fingers crossed Libra of Souls can deliver there
Idd.
No one will outplay me.

This honestly just looks like a major throwback to the look, feel and mechanic of SC2, and I fucking love that, because 2 was the best!

@Shorty lol ok I got that game new and played it for years. Also like last week on the gamecube.

The Character creation is total bonkers.
you can create pretty much everything

I like making Zelda characters

I'm glad to hear there's other single-player modes again. Sounds better than Soulcalibur IV & V.
I loved SCIII's Chronicles of the Sword, so I'm glad to see something RPG-like returning.

Soul Calibur is the best fighting game.
Not better than mk
SC would be my second favorite but for me Tekken is the best fighting game
I fell in love with the fighting in SCIV because it was easy to get into and didn’t have the somewhat steep learning curve of some other fighting games. (My opinion anyway). I loved the character creation and the way the story was told as you go through the story of what’s happening with each character. My favourite part was the soul link I think it was called where you could go around and see the premise of all the characters stories and how the interconnected. I loved that especially. With V the story did feel more focused however I missed the variety from four as a result of it just focusing on Pyrrha and Patrokles or however they’re spelt. All in all I’m excited for six and I hope to buy it soon.
Talim is my favorite character and has been since Soulcalibur II days when I was a kid. I was so upset when SCV came out and not only did they not have Talim (cause it was in the future with like apprentices), they also completely abandoned her style. Like Xianghua was represented through Leixia and Cassandra and Sophitia through Pyrrha and Patroklas, but Talim had no representation with her elbow blades and her fighting style at all. I am so excited to be able to play as Talim again.
I really hope this game does well. I love Soulcalibur!
The most underrated fighting game of all time, it was on Sega Dreamcast snk vs neo geo. Fucking loved that game. Never talked about tho.
I played this game so much with my older brother growing up, I'll have to buy this one at some point! Our favorite weapons were the wave swords and grieve edge which I don't remember being in the game past SC3 (I played 4 for a little while but that was it) but there's too much nostalgia to pass this up!
This game is an absolute gem!
Bandai Namco brought out the in-development version once a week at a venue in Tokyo and I've had a chance to play for the last couple of months with a slimmer roster. It's really easy to just pick up a new character and feel somewhat competent if you're familiar with fighting games in general. I used to be a "stick to one character" kind of guy, but everyone here has so much to offer that you really should try out all characters :)
This game screamed "wait until it goes on sale" for me...but then they had to go and release the 2B character reveal trailer...
Looking back on this, SC series remains my favorite fighting game series. I've played MC, Tekken, SF yada yada. But they just didn't stick like SC does.
Dude, the speed of play is so much better than previous entries. I love that it went back to retell the story from the beginning, with all the original characters and not Xiba, Natsu and Leixia from 5. Didn’t get to play more than a couple of hours tonight (pre ordered the deluxe edition on PS4) and I’m debating calling out from work tomorrow just to play more 😅
Keep up the good work, folks at gameranx! You're my absolut favorite gaming youtube channel right now!
Loved soul caliber 2 on the game cube and 3 on the PlayStation 4 was ok but 5 was hot garbage. 6 has me excited again and I got the collectors edition as well cause I can never find soul caliber stuff
You gotta play IV. It’s my favorite after 2
I've always thought the series was super cool and I can't wait to get into it as 6 will be my first SC game. I plan on maining Taki :)
Good choice
Excited for you my dude
Taki is awesome, also ehe feels just like she did back in SC3
Soul calibur will always have a special place in my heart
I have very fond memories of this series and i hope to gain more with this release. My favorite characters are Yoshimitsu, Cervantes and Ivy. I can also chop it up with Voldo because as "weird" as he is it can play to my advantage because his movements aren't conventional
Watching this video while playing some Soul Calibur VI 😂
I've been playing this game since ps1!
I got worried for a minute that this wasn't gonna come out!
Nice!👍
The King of Nerds I start playing on the Dreamcast
i think what it is about what makes Soul Calibre so unique is that each fight also feels like an adventure.
I love the SC series, played 3 a lot at a friends house and spent countless hours on 4. When 5 came out it was the first time I felt so burned by the franchise that I didn't want to look into buying 6. As of right now with all the custom character creations and everything you listed coming back I'm going to keep my eye on it for awhile and wait for some bugs to fix before I buy it. I'm thrilled that they brought back characters and modes I've missed from past games so this might be one I pick up when it drops on sale.
Capcom aside, this has been a great generation of fighting games!
True Crapcom sucks big time
I want this game so bad!!!
Brian Beck I been saving my money since the summer for the upcoming games it was hard but I did it lol
I'm definitely going to buy SC6. As for what my favorite game mode of past Soul Caliburs was, it was from Soul Calibur 3 I believe, was called Chronicles of the Sword or something like that. It was the game mode where you have to take and enter bases and each character had their own special properties. It was such a weird mode to see in a game mode but I loved it and played the hell out of it lol. Kind of like the old gamecube game Yugioh Falsebound Kingdom, it was so different from what you'd expect from the series.
I loved playing as link
Glad this game is back, remember playing it on my Gamecube with my younger brother.
The last Soul Calibur game i played was 3. So hopefully It's good. My buddy and i use to play the second one all the time! Not huge fighting game fight but, this is an acception.
My literal only complaint is the lack of items in character creation, definitely not deal breaking just suuuper disappointing. This game seems like it'll sell well (i hope it smashes publisher/dev expectations) so hopefully they'll support the game with more content over time
Carnege50 they’re coming out with 300 more items for it here soon, but I think that’ll be it for now. Honestly, that’s my only complaint as of now too.
@@Not_Ciel as far as i know they are only giving us 100 items, 2 armour packs each containing 50 items.
These are my favorite fighting games. I still remember playing Soul Edge in the arcade. I've seen this one referred to as a "worthy successor to SCII", so I really hope that's true because that's still probably my favorite entry in the series.
Its one of my favorite series. My friends and I really enjoyed the ice level to battle in and was disappointed that we couldn't find it in sc5. I hope they bring that back in 6.
Grabbing that collectors edition 💪 was disappointed with SC5, but SC6 shows a lot of promise.
My soul still burns
I’ve loved soulcalibur since I played the first one on Dreamcast and I’m so happy to see original kilik is back
Actually played SC4 as my first fighting and SC game... Fell in love with all of it, actually ended up hugely disappointed by SC5 though.
I actually like the look of this one, Hope it'll bring back the fun i had on SC4!
P.s good video Gameranx!
No one ever seems to mention Soul Blade, the very very first soulcaliber game.
Soul Edge was first.
Soul edge was the arcade version. The playstation name for soul edge was soul blade.
Soul Edge is the *TRUE NAME* and Tim Langdell can go screw himself!!!!
It's named Soul Blade in America and Soul Edge in Europe I think
No it was named Soul Blade in America and Europe and was named Soul Edge in Japan.
Sooo ready to try and play online with my garbage connection
Relatable
Hope it gets better for ya
You got the McDonalds Wi-Fi to?
Don’t ruin the other players fun with your shit connection
Ive had so much fun with this game so far. The online network is super smooth. Its probably one of the only fighting games i can truly say that about.
the 8-way run feature is what gives SC the edge over all the other 3d fighters, including Tekken (the best one). It's such a free-flowing game, and having character customization (even if it's minor) is a huge huge huge huge huge deal. It has infinite replayability for me and I will *always* buy a new SC game.
Have played the Soulcaliber games since 1 and loved them all except 5. 6 is definitely better. Loving it!
this is way better than Tekken where JUGGLING people to the wall is the only thing....
I have been waiting for this Soulcalibur for such a long time, and i honestly didnt even know it was coming out till i saw some people playing it on Twitch the day it released. I instantly bought the game, and im in LOVE with this Soulcalibur. Like you said it has many many hours of solo gameplay which is awesome, and while the fighting is very similar to the previous one, it does add a couple new things with bring even greater depth to the fighting system than any previous Soulcalibur game.
If you like fighting games, this is a MUST buy in my opinion, and if you are thinking about getting into fighting games, this is the perfect game to start out
I’ve been playing the soul Calibur Siri ever since I first saw it in the arcade. I believe at that time it was called Sol edge. I’m playing through this one because I get it for free with my PlayStation plus membership. And even if I didn’t, I would probably purchase it. It is as awesome and fun as I remember the series to be. I’m looking forward to meeting the game and digging out with it. Lol.
It would be funny if it had Thanos as a secret character and he snaps half the other fighters when unlocked.
Yeah because that's fucking balanced. If Thanos will ever be included in this he'd be just like any other fighter.
But cant you technically create thanos?
It would be funnier if Thanos was dlc, so you are technically paying for getting half the roster permanently deleted
@@thenamelessone6119 even better XD
If anything, Thanos w/ the infinity gauntlet but *ONLY* w/ the power gem. No more no less.
Okay, when will dynasty warriors show up in soul calibur
Very thorough explanation of the game, awesome video dude!
I buy it yesterday and ohh my its full my expectations as a soul calibur fan. Pick up Talim and Voldo training them to play online . definitely was worth to waiting
*Ivy IS THICC*
Gerardo Perez no, ivy is woman.
Actually no. She is not thicc. Her breasts are huge, but her ass is flat.
zasalamel is my fav, so i'll buy it surely
Zasalamel is badass, my favourite character. Also Ivy is the main milf.
Nightmare has been my main since I started playing on SC 2
Siegfried for me. Always played as him on SC3
You mean *Zasmasol*
You guys don't know what a milf is do you?
I haven't really noticed it until recently but the fact that you fight with weapons rather than fist is why I love soul caliber more than other fighting games.
One of my favorites was Soulcalibur for gamecube. The ability to play as Link (from Zelda) was so much fun, and xbox had spawn. I wish there was an ultimate release upon completion that all characters from previous iterations became available.
I really really want to buy this but cant afford this and RDR2 😭
@@darkshadow6556 i'm at uni and already have a part time job dont assume
What’s RDR2?
@@DLMyth2 red dead redemption 2
But SoulCalibur. I doubt you have the space for RD2
Buy one now then save up for the other
So it’s just tekken with medieval shit
TAKE MY MONEY
woah real good review. I was bummed out watching some of the other vids on this game but now I'm excited to get it again. I love me some solo SC.
Love it. I want more cuatomazation items. Plus maybe some new weapon types in a DLC would be good to. Already got the first one and it only came with one new weapon type. Plus it would be real cool if you could level up your character online and either get stronger, get unique items or even spacial attacks or alternate fighting styles to the current weapons. I wanna dual wield long swords.
I got work with Sophita...try me
I hated soul 5 but I'm really looking forward to 6
I am so excited for this game. Cant wait until my copy comes in the mail. Kilik is by far my favorite character along with Xinghua and Seung Mena. I hope Xbox One X doesn't have the input lag problem. The last Soul Calibur game I played was part 2. I heard this is a return to form, so pumped for tomorrow.
My all time favorite soul calibur game, is soul calibur 4. I absolutely love how the gear effected your stats. So you could have life steal, higher damage, or just high hp, or even regenerating hp. Just made the customization feel way more in depth when you create and play with you own character. Ill still buy it just to support them, but im hoping its like soulcalibur 4, ive been hoping for a soulcalibur 4 to come to xboxone. Id buy full price easily.
Joshua Chiodo it’s kind of right in between SCII and SCIV
Where’s the Voldo gameplay?!?!
I like this soooo much better than Tekken.
Tekken is better than this game in every way.
@@kamitenshi3825 Tekken 7 was a drop in the series. Not a lot of time was put into it and it showed in the lack of content.
Code Code t7 is the best gameplay wise, but has no real single player content
It is much more noob friendly than Tekken and has good single player content.
ContraMundi I grew up with Tekken, but I felt like this kinda had a better feel than Tekken. It seemed more engaging to me and versatile when it came to the outcome of battle. Now I do feel like Tekken had a better story (along with its animations)
always been a fan of fighting games and tekken and soul calibur been in top 2 spots for me. Did notice seems to be a little slower pacing to the combat compared to previous titles, not a bad thing really but remember playing with friends at houses and combat feeling faster and more frantic is all. Got the game on publishers sale for under $20 and had get hwang and hao-samurai guy. Been awhile since played SC title but looks all in all like an amazing addition to the franchise and addition of new chars definetely adds to the appeal.
I'm probably going to pick this up! I loved Soul Caliber II on the GameCube growing up. I haven't played one since!
Tell my boyfriend i love him, IVY is just to THICC
Tell him yourself...?
I'll tell him.
I was thinking about getting this game, but in Canada it’s $80, and even though I wanna play as Geralt, I’m not a huge fighting game fan and as a kid with no job looking forward to games coming out in 2019, I really need to start saving. With that said, should I get this game? Certainly I can always find other ways to accumulate the money necessary to get the games I’m excited for, but I’m not sure if $80 is worth it...
ProNewb it is
I have been playing since Soul Blade when I was like 3. And it’s so awesome to see that they are staying true to the same gameplay. They even have the same animations, characters, and voice actors from the year 2000.
I know what I’m getting next paycheck lol.
I love your channel. Keep up the great work guys😎
