You must read that line in the deep voice the title screens use. Yes, it's mandatory.
Anyway, discuss Soul Edge and Soul Calibur here. Character creations, gameplay matches, argue over which one is the best, the usual.
I've been having quite some fun with SC5 recently. I think I'll post a few pics of my creations once I do more.

Well, I think everyone can agree on that SCV needed another year to be finished. Well, at least the story mode anyway. However, there are really a couple cheap and unfair characters now. Which makes for a nicer experience.
It's funny though, I recently got the original Soul Calibur off the Xbox Marketplace. While I couldn't unlock anything because everything was unlocked for some odd reason, it does have one really noticeable thing. Cervantes is overpowered to the max. Now with SCV, he's a bit more balanced but plays a little worse IMO.

Story mode sucked. No one's going to disagree with that.
But strictly from a gameplay standpoint, I think SC5 is still good. Maybe part of it is because I can finally play this series with a stick and not a controller, but I still find many of SC5's characters fun, especially when combined with the character creator. And let's be honest. When you're playing a fighting game, even with one like the Soul series, you play for the multiplayer primarily. Not the story. It might be an added bonus, but the real meat should be in the fighting.
Although the balance team could use a slap in the face or two. Seriously, why did they nerf Z.W.E.I. of all people and not Mitsurugi or Nightmare? I keep having a losing ratio because of them, not Z.W.E.I.

I honestly don't know. I laughed at the nerfing of Z.W.E.I. If anything, the poor man needs a bit of a buff. And they will almost never nerf Mitsurugi because he's a must, and changing him might make some veterans of the series butthurt. Buuut that's just me.
Gameplay is nice, really don't like how guard impacts are now, but that's just me getting annoyed by accidently doing them ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
Honestly, I generally play the Soul series for story and playing with friends, multiplayer for fighting games generally isn't my thing. Doesn't mean I'm bad though, I'm.... decent.
Character Creator is awesome. Honestly, this is probably the best one I have ever seen. I've bought several DLC packs for some of the items in them. I don't have all of them, just ones that I need. The best ones in my opinion are the ones that contain parts from the roster. You like Patrolkos coat? Boom, it's in the DLC.
I've also downloaded some music from the past games and guess what, it still works really well. Like, REALLY. FUCKING. WELL. Not to say that SCV has a shitty soundtrack, it has a great soundtrack.

I now pull the revive card. Because I've been thinking about Soul recently.
SC3 is my favorite despite the balance issues. I play Soul for its single player content and 3 provided it in spades. Given this, guess which game is my least favorite.
Also, I'll give Lost Swords a chance since it's free. I'll be cautious though.
