These matches are easier said than done... It may look simple, but realistically, they're both on their toes and heavily concentrated. I admire this Tira player, feeling enough confidence to use a risky character like that... Well done.
B0bby ai Using a character whose only pro is the stance that inflicts DMG on her isn't risky? Consider that her JS has such little to no DMG output than her GS. I personally believe Tira's most reliant when it comes to mix-ups, As a move-set Cervantes is far more useful than Tira, in technical terms. However, this match is one of those rare occurrences where "Tiers don't always matter".
Miles Edgeworth PATROKLOS IS TOP TIER. he is LITERALLY the best character. 😂 Tira's Jolly mode is her main disadvantage and in gloomy she has a huge chance of switching back into Jolly. Also you have to take into account the chances of switching at low health.
Tari IS so awesome,I just LOVE how she's the most creative character,I mean who thought a hoola-hoop could be a weapon,also her moveset looks sooooooo cool and acrobatic,I love seeing her just moving around x3
"Tira is cheap" I'm pretty sure she agrees, while taking damage from 50% of her own attacks, GTFO XD you guys are mad cause all who called her garbage her knew that she was a good character & just didn't want to admit it. Now that we have someone to actually prove that she is not trash, ya'll mad. lmao, have a seat.
I'm guessing you don't do well against Tira? It's ok, you're just not good enough & you should probably just give up and take your own life. But before you go, what about my grammar was wrong in my first comment? Please enlighten me, I would love to have my grammar corrected by someone who didn't even use punctuation in their last comment.
Sarah Mika "all who called her garbage her knew..." that's pretty atrocious grammar. Also the tira player DID spam. It was actually really gross. But do whatever to win even if it's frowned upon I guess.
Reminder that Soul Calibur 6 is on it's way. To the people in here saying they could beat these guys, you weren't at Evo back in 2012 to prove it. Come to Evo 2018 and say it like you mean it. :)
I love it when people calling destroying the other player being cheap. Learn the goddamn game or go the fuck home nothing cheap about it its part of the game. Look at streetfighter 2 tournaments its common knowledge that you can move the screen to make an enemy fall on your ability and many more etc.
James Prescott They mean cheap as in the lack of skill it takes to use certain characters, that's what I hope they mean at least. Using the screen and maps to your advantage is just part of the game, I do think Tira takes little-to-no skill to use, however. You really just need to learn how to balance her Jolly and Gloomy side as well as the moves and combos that're off-limits.
Love some of the comments in here. If Shining Decopon & Shen Chan are so "cheap", "spammy" or "bad", let me see you beat them in an offline tournament match, since you guys obviously know the game so much. The amount of ignorance in these comments is hysterical.
+CTHEWOLF777 What is your background in SC or SCV? How have you done in SC tournaments before? What reason is there to believe that you could beat Shining Decopon or Shen Chan in a legitimate competitive match?
+CTHEWOLF777 So? Has it occurred to anyone that they do those combos because they work? There's a lot of metagame at work here. I can guarantee no one commenting in here would be able to beat Shining Decopon, Hell, Shen Chan's pretty damn beast with Cervantes, but he didn't play his best here.
Kappacino He means that the game should Be playable on Xbox one Not only on 360 cause the Xone is backwards copatible and can play many old 360 games or even Original Xbox games SCV however isnt playable on the one just yet.. But i hope it will be very soon Same with SoulCalibur IV
It's crazy that you guys don't know the difference between pressure and cheap, you play to win not for style points tf? if im at evo imma make sure i win even if it wasn't fair. :s
I know a lot of people think this Tira player used some cheap tactics, but I thought he was fucking awesome. I admit I'm a little biased, since Tira's my main in all the Soul Calibur games she's appeared in, but still. I thought he did really good. The Cervantes player put up a good fight, too.
Cheap tactics or no. He won. People always get pissed because they lose so the find a reason to call bullshit. Usually by throwing the cheap tactics jibe.
Mitochondria Raine Except yeah lol she only used like three of Tiras strongest combos over and over. not to mention that "hai hai hai hai hai" move Japan kept chanting to. theres a reason he was spamming, its hard to counter, thus why hes in the finals or semifinals or whatever. either way, it takes little skill to time moves and block as oppose to linking combos and stuff.
Playing a Tira character is very difficult when it comes to keeping up her stances. She is considered as more "situational" and her moves cost her own health. It's more of a high risk, skill and reward. I am pretty sure that she was considered as a low-tier character. But Shining Decopon definitely proved everyone wrong for sure. I'm sure that people that call Tira a spammer either don't play Tira or follow the higher ranked players statements calling her trash. Why doesn't anyone talk about Astaroth that deals so much damage for only one hit and he can also break back grapples. :P
The people who have true skill know what it takes to win, even if it means to spam. If people can't swallow their egos about artificially-shaming tactics they will never get better. There is no shame because he was playing the game, all of his strategies were working, all of his moves were legal, and he won. The only cheap thing to do in video games is to hack, because that's breaking the rules. Spamming isn't breaking the rules.
I know I'll probably get shit for saying this but. I like Tira, I like her back story and I love to play as her. I just think she unique with her mood swings and her ring blade. She's always been my favorite character since I first saw a SC game.
+josh mazzie There's a campaign but the story isn't half the game. Is the story half the game in Call of Duty or Tekken? The story of this game is basically just a bunch of fights with some cutscenes inbetween.
Since nobody actually answered you I will. Hella late. But 5 basically took away like 30% of every characters moveset. That's the main reason. It was casualfied lol
Nice moves! It gives me nostalgia because I still have the original game Soul Calibur 2 for GameCube and the movements are a bit too similar! Never played Soul Calibur V thought.
TheKaneECO you do know this is a "fighting game" and not a "beauty contest" right? This is a tournament, why would they risk doing complex combos that they're not sure if it will 100% work?
lovely bones I just find it funny that in soul calibur that's a legit strat at ALL. I watched an MKX tournament and that stuff would never fly in top 8. If you just spammed "get over here" until it worked you'd open yourself up to combos. Apparently not this game lol spam spam spam .
I wish I could have recorded the match me and my friend had tonight. (yes, in 2023) I was using tira, and he was using natzu. And he had like 10 fights more than me won. But slowly I started figuring out tira. And caught up with him. But there was one fight, one round where we were side stepping, dodging, jumping into the air. Blockimg. Neither of us landing hits. So evenly matched that at one point we actually went to either sides of the map to catch our breath. Then continued. It was one of the greatest gameplays of my life. It looked like we were 2 finalists at the toughest soulcalibur tournament ever held. All out war But sadly for him, The end score was 33 - 34 before we couldn't go on anymore. Yes, we fought through 67 fights straight. Last like 10 fights was tira vs natzu.
Kinda questionable how that winning combo from Tira all landed..does she really get that GI hit as part of the combo or did the guy using cervy just decide to stay down?
The movesets are more easy and more advanced at the same time. Some of the characters from 4 were just too complicated and it kept a lot of people from playing it. But there is still a few complicated characters.
Main reason for that is in games like these you can be really really really good and only look like you are really good. i bet nobody could ever beat that tira xD
fck the haters, sf5 was a great game. sad we couldn't see it on evo 's mainstage at least 2 more years prior to it's release. thx guys (the fgc scrubs) for killing off my favorite fighting game series/franchise. SC rip was an honor to have met you.
Danger Level 10 talking shit is fine; I mean I'm guilty of it too. Its just I have problem with the people who shit talk then blame their loss for simple stuff spam etc. Sometimes it can be really fucking annoying and discredits me, the players in the video, as well as all the other players who put the time in to get better at the game when they haven't did so themselves. If you are getting beat by one or two moves its time reevaluate you gameplay, take the L, and improve or complain about you can't someone spamming throws and lows or whatever while saying you can beat them if they weren't playing like that.
If someone spams lows then I simply need to guard or counter it. People get spamming mixed up with combos sure they use same combos over and over because there the ones that work true spamming is annoying but easy to counter and i don't see any of that in this video
These matches are easier said than done... It may look simple, but realistically, they're both on their toes and heavily concentrated. I admire this Tira player, feeling enough confidence to use a risky character like that... Well done.
Amy Lionheart tira risky!?! lmao

I prefer sc with movement
Anyone else watching this DYING for SCVI to fucking come out already?
Knight Solaire of Astora you bet your ass homie
(\[T]/) Praise the soul Calibur (sun)
Knight Solaire of Astora If only I could be so grossly incandescant.
If only if only. SCVI Jolly cooperation edition anyone?
I'd love to get a tag-in game mode similar to Tekken tag but I'll settle for just having the game at all at this point! \[†]/ sun bros 4 lyfe.
I wanna see someone win a tournament as Edge Master
High tier character wins. Oh thats typical. Low tier character wins. They weren't real players.
This attitude just pisses me off.
i swear these are pro players. i tried tira and its hard to learn her
You need to play with her as a kid to get that level soul caliber has that curve learning unlike any other fighting games
I was wanting Cervantes to win because he's my favorite character, but Tira's tough to use, so props to this guy for sure
Are people really saying tira is cheap?! Seriously!? Just shut up if you say that.
Uhhh Tira is cheap with a 5% damage boost in Gloomy mode its basicly fucked up which Balanced Characters like Patroklos,Mitsurugi,Kilik etc are better
Miles Edgeworth PATROKLOS IS TOP TIER. he is LITERALLY the best character. 😂 Tira's Jolly mode is her main disadvantage and in gloomy she has a huge chance of switching back into Jolly. Also you have to take into account the chances of switching at low health.

Now that we have someone to actually prove that she is not trash, ya'll mad. lmao, have a seat.
Yeah it's so ironic that when SC5 came out, all I heard about is how badly they nerfed Tira...and now look.
It's a LOT less than 50% of her output. A LOT less
I'm guessing you don't do well against Tira? It's ok, you're just not good enough & you should probably just give up and take your own life. But before you go, what about my grammar was wrong in my first comment? Please enlighten me, I would love to have my grammar corrected by someone who didn't even use punctuation in their last comment.
redhotswagg You just got burned...? The players are going to hate! Actually, if Tira has barely any health, she pretty much cannot do anything.
Sarah Mika "all who called her garbage her knew..." that's pretty atrocious grammar. Also the tira player DID spam. It was actually really gross. But do whatever to win even if it's frowned upon I guess.
The Japanese audience is so hyped, I love it
what a hype as fuck match. Good job Decopon.
Best part in the whole video 17:00
Honestly though. It was so suspenseful.
I'd recognize that voice anywhere

+F.O. N. nvm I thought about something different since it's been so long since I played this game
+F.O. N. but it's freaking easy to read them they keep using the same combo
+CTHEWOLF777 So? Has it occurred to anyone that they do those combos because they work? There's a lot of metagame at work here. I can guarantee no one commenting in here would be able to beat Shining Decopon, Hell, Shen Chan's pretty damn beast with Cervantes, but he didn't play his best here.
Even nerfed pretty badly, Tira still repped. I love it.
I love hearing the Tira fans shouting out the combo hits. Amazing hype
It was so fun, I miss this era of fighting games
Man I wish soul caliber 5 was backwards compatible
mini guerilla ikr
It's coming BC soon, it was actually in the "Ready to install" section but was removed. I guess it wasn't meant to be released yet.
What do you mean?
Kappacino Who are you asking?
Kappacino
He means that the game should Be playable on Xbox one
Not only on 360 cause the Xone is backwards copatible and can play many old 360 games or even Original Xbox games
SCV however isnt playable on the one just yet..
But i hope it will be very soon
Same with SoulCalibur IV
1:54 I haven't played this game before, and this stage is beautiful! o_o
As a person who mains Zelda in smash, it's awesome to see a "garbage" tier make it to grand finals :3
Oh man how the time changes in ultimate
It's crazy that you guys don't know the difference between pressure and cheap, you play to win not for style points tf? if im at evo imma make sure i win even if it wasn't fair. :s
You have a point,if you're on a tournament you're there to win not to look pretty
i love reading the comments of people who say that the players in this vid dont know how to play or that there better. LOL
omegaweaponredux I love how this video is 4 years old almost 5 years and it still hold true now 😂
Call Me Kami yup
Call Me Kami I know right
I wish I could play a quarter as good
its 6 years old...
Aris should commentate EVERYTHING
I know a lot of people think this Tira player used some cheap tactics, but I thought he was fucking awesome. I admit I'm a little biased, since Tira's my main in all the Soul Calibur games she's appeared in, but still. I thought he did really good. The Cervantes player put up a good fight, too.
Cheap tactics or no. He won. People always get pissed because they lose so the find a reason to call bullshit. Usually by throwing the cheap tactics jibe.
She kept spamming lol it was lame and boring

Why doesn't anyone talk about Astaroth that deals so much damage for only one hit and he can also break back grapples. :P
This guy makes Tira look top tier! Let's fucking go
Those commentators are very enjoyable.
dang tira used to dish out big damage, scvi really held her back
How r u people saying that Chen was cheap? He is a very good Tira. Learn her and be better than him, then u criticize
love tira
Same hope she's in 6
The people who have true skill know what it takes to win, even if it means to spam. If people can't swallow their egos about artificially-shaming tactics they will never get better.

The only cheap thing to do in video games is to hack, because that's breaking the rules. Spamming isn't breaking the rules.
Actually quite a bit more hype than I thought it would be
Is there any particular reason why they changed the controls at the beginning?
damn when is soul calibur 6 coming out😭😭😭 i wanna play tira and talim again😭😭😭
I know I'll probably get shit for saying this but. I like Tira, I like her back story and I love to play as her. I just think she unique with her mood swings and her ring blade. She's always been my favorite character since I first saw a SC game.
Sivir vs gangplank
+Desislav Vulkov Like.
I actually made Character Creations based on those back then. I have Dianna, Leona, Yasuo, Katarina, Garen, Yi and so many others made too.
xD
Stop, you're drunk. It's time to go home.
True
Hai! - Hai! - Hai Hai Hai Hai Hai!
Drawsler yup
crazy. worth watching all the way through
No matter what every SCV player sees in these videos... A player's first reaction is always 'I could've beat him...'
Haven't paid attention to SC since sc2, i've read this one isnt good but it looks great to me, why is so "bad"?
ZombieFifa666 People with nostalgia goggles were butthurt because they took out some of the classic characters
***** No one gives a fuck about the story dude
+josh mazzie There's a campaign but the story isn't half the game. Is the story half the game in Call of Duty or Tekken? The story of this game is basically just a bunch of fights with some cutscenes inbetween.
ZombieFifa666 it wasn't really finished because the makers were having problems with natural disasters and themselves.
Since nobody actually answered you I will. Hella late. But 5 basically took away like 30% of every characters moveset. That's the main reason. It was casualfied lol
That Tira player did something really hard. Made a victory look like a defeat.
Really? Tira’s cheap? The character that takes damage from her own attacks? Fuck outta here. She’s a solid character.
I revisited this with the announcement of SCVI ANd I saw how many asshurt people are in the comments... lol
ive been playing soulcaliber ever since it came out in1999 for playstation 1
the end was epic!
tira does so much damage
I want to know if you have played this game before.
I like Tira Critical edge and her powerful Freestyle😘😘😘
The soul still burns!
Tira is my favorite character and to see someone win Evo with her was amazing. Bottom tier, huh? lol
Nice moves! It gives me nostalgia because I still have the original game Soul Calibur 2 for GameCube and the movements are a bit too similar! Never played Soul Calibur V thought.
Are characters like Edge Master, Kilik, and Elysium allowed in these tournaments? Just wondering.
they are, but hardly anyone mains them
6:23 Spams the same 3 moves until it works. "Pro gamers" "MLG"
TheKaneECO you do know this is a "fighting game" and not a "beauty contest" right? This is a tournament, why would they risk doing complex combos that they're not sure if it will 100% work?
lovely bones I just find it funny that in soul calibur that's a legit strat at
ALL. I watched an MKX tournament and that stuff would never fly in top 8. If you just spammed "get over here" until it worked you'd open yourself up to combos. Apparently not this game lol spam spam spam .
Just wondering, When they got knocked down...i didnt see them side rolling or anything. Is it illegal or something?
how to get involved in the competitive scene ?
Enter tournaments. shoryuken, eventhubs, discord, facebook, youtube, etc. Do the research. I dont know much about SC though.
What a shame this game is dead
Good god. These players brought enough Spam to end world hunger.
so what does EVO mean? does it stand for something/ can someone help me out here?
This is what it takes to be in evo finals..
I wish I could have recorded the match me and my friend had tonight. (yes, in 2023)
I was using tira, and he was using natzu.
And he had like 10 fights more than me won. But slowly I started figuring out tira. And caught up with him.
But there was one fight, one round where we were side stepping, dodging, jumping into the air. Blockimg. Neither of us landing hits.
So evenly matched that at one point we actually went to either sides of the map to catch our breath. Then continued. It was one of the greatest gameplays of my life.
It looked like we were 2 finalists at the toughest soulcalibur tournament ever held.
All out war
But sadly for him, The end score was 33 - 34 before we couldn't go on anymore.
Yes, we fought through 67 fights straight. Last like 10 fights was tira vs natzu.
Is there a Yun-Seong in SC5 ? (excuse me im a newbie)
17:05 Holy Shit what a comeback.
Is D pad better then JoyStick? Im normally a Dpad user.
If you could do what you said, it would be you sitting in Grand Finals at this point.
I may be wrong, but on Soul Calibut VI I would like to be one of the best at a world level.
Anki look for me then. Won every tournament of SC locally. I only wish I did EVO. Will stream the new game
Very unprofessional of the commentators to constantly give shit to one of the players
Luke Litwaitis it seems you don't know shit about Aris and Markman
I guess u don’t play tekken then Cos airs and markman always talk shit
OtaKira Miscrits listen how young, Aris sounds, man.
Kinda questionable how that winning combo from Tira all landed..does she really get that GI hit as part of the combo or did the guy using cervy just decide to stay down?
Why there wasn't this in evo14
Aris is the best commentator lol
@Machdude well its simple. i KAN do what i said. i just dont have wifi or connects to tourneys. anything else to add?
I love Tira ;-;
idk if you heard who where the finalists. That explains the match
Is the competitive scene for this game/SC overall dead?
I hope not, I still have this game and I love it--
It'd be a shame to see it not be so competitive anymore..
+Re-l Mayer It's around, but its one of the smallest out there, at least in the West.
+PepperBeef2Spicy Nah, it's not THAT small. Not many majors host us, but when they do, we usually get a decent showing.
Isn´t the announcer the same guy who voiced Xemnas from kingdom hearts?
BTW incredible gameplay l was awesome at soul CALIBUR my self. I'm still amazing at it never beaten till this day and have much love 4 you guys XD
i LOVE TIRA :D
The movesets are more easy and more advanced at the same time. Some of the characters from 4 were just too complicated and it kept a lot of people from playing it. But there is still a few complicated characters.
YeahhHHH Tira's awesome!
I will forever wonder,when the guy who first created that infamous comment wrote it,did he intentionally mean to spell it "Gorilla warfare"
It does indeed.
Is this the only time SCV was at Evo???
Dakota Blackbird Nope, also 2013 and 2014. It didn't make it this year tho u.u
Magnetic Rose Ok.
Main reason for that is in games like these you can be really really really good and only look like you are really good. i bet nobody could ever beat that tira xD
fck the haters, sf5 was a great game. sad we couldn't see it on evo 's mainstage at least 2 more years prior to it's release.
thx guys (the fgc scrubs) for killing off my favorite fighting game series/franchise. SC rip was an honor to have met you.
sc5 was indeed shit. But sc6 is looking to turn it around
Our egos make us not spam and that is why we fall for it so easily. Decopon took advantage of that idea.
Kilik has always been my favorite...
Ill see all you spam complaining scrubs in SCVI!
Robert Duvall For real, all these shit talkers get a chance to back up their words.

Aris and MarkMan one commentary...holy mother of god.
I guess learning how to spam such a ridiculously powerful move is a skill, too. :x
I like playing soulcalibur!
Tira's my favorite character (:
I congratulate you sir!
greatness
i want this game sooooooooooo bad
i well have it soon
Tira's combo ender, he is using that move nonstop even on its own. It's obviously quite powerful and looks safe.
For those of you who have also played Mk9 would you guys say that this game is less "spammy" and better online play?
Ahhh memories...
Already sitting Serah Mika.
But I gotta say this VS IS AWESOME
Never knew SC had combos honestly lol
okay why do they keep resetting the match?
Listen, Sticky. You've been stuck in my hair long enough. It's time for you to become less sticky and more tricky.
