    I loved SC so bad on the Dreamcast. When Link came out on the gamecube version of SC2 I flipped the hell out (biggest Zelda fan right here).

    SCIV was alright, and SCV is looking pretty damn awesome, but I can't get nearly as excited about the game cause there's no Link :C

    What WOULD be awesome though is if they at least let you use all the previous guest character's play styles in character creation. If not, I guess it's back to Kilik again!

    Kilik is dead, so he's not in it.

    also *cough I'm the biggest zelda fan :p* I even went to the 25th anniversary orchestra

    Son-Son is a girl...

    though you're mostly right.
    Xiba IS Monkey/Son-goku.

    I realize she's a girl, it just looked weird to get excited about a male son-son and given the similarity, I just called him son-son. While I was joking, I do genuinely like the design.

    So guys, Soul Calibur V is out in February and I, for one can't wait. Glad to be getting more into Street Fighter, but this game is my bread and butter, and I'd really like to get a competitive circuit going.

    Who else out there is looking forward to this game? It'd be great to have some good opponents to play, be it competitive or just casual sparring. Love to hear ideas, guys!

    There was a short lived SCIV scene a while back. There were some good players, but we just didn't have the numbers to keep it going.

    Hopefully all the old heads will come out of the woodwork when SCV is released, as well as some new players.

    A regular meet up would be great.
    I'm playing a lot of SCIV at the moment, add me on XBL if you're interested in a few battles. Tag is 'the k0ng'

    This game is shaping up to be great. Aside from the gameplay mechanics, the overall look of the game is much sleeker. It's much brighter and flashier than IV. One of my biggest complaints about games these days is that they look dull and gritty in an attempt to be realistic. SCIV is just an ugly game - this one is much kinder to the eyes.

    I just put my preorder down this week, can barely wait! Playing SCIV a good bit at the moment. XBL tag is 'Mikenyan' - send me a request if you're up for a few bouts!

    Did I not mention it?

    Condensed info:
    Full Sanwa, new layout (Namco Noir 8-button!), see-through, cool bezel.

    Hori are also bringing one out, but it's looking like it'll be using Hori stock parts (average) and a horrible gimmicky Start button cover.

    Having seen most of the bottom row in action I've lost a lot of faith.

    Seriously the game is clearly still a beta, this is exactly what I feared when I heard "end of January".

    Harada looks insane!. He fights with a mix of all the Mishimas styles, but mainly Devil Jin.

    Hes a CPU only boss, you can use his fighting style in the CAS mode, but CAS characters are banned . Really wish they release a patch so hes playable in vs at the very least, that way he would be tournament viable.

    So there's a sequel to the Go Big or Go Home ads.

    Tis a wee bit NSFW, so click away: New SCV Advertisement Assets

    Also, Jaxel from 8WayRun ran through a history of SC character bans and talks about what he thinks should be done with Devil Jin in SCV.
    (For those not aware, there is a Create a Character only fighting style based on Tekken's Devil Jin in SCV)
    http://8wayrun.com/threads/critical-edge-a-brief-history-of-banning.10035/

    Synopsis: He recommends two tournament formats for a while: major events ban Devil Jin as currently he seems waaaaay over powered.
    However, it's generally idiotic to ban any character within days of the game's release, so he recommends that he still be selectable at minor events. This will allow him to be experimented with in a tournament format before dropping a full ban hammer without affecting the outcome of any tournaments that actually matter.

    I would disagree with his decision.

    From reading his own article, the fact that Devil Jin is only available as a move-set to custom characters, mean that TOs are going to have to agree on a standard "Devil Jin", that doesn't obscure moves with flowing clothes, and doesn't alter Hitboxes/Hurtboxes (which is possible if I've read the article correctly) by changing his body dimensions.

    This seems to mean that there's going to have to be one SCV "tournament agreed" savefile, that TO's pass around, and have to check that people haven't altered.

    Whether or not he's OP is kind a side issue to the fact he's a logistical nightmare. The fact he might be BOTH I think means he should be banned.

    (The idea of custom chars at a tournament sounds kind of silly anyway)

    This is basically my exact issue with him too.

    He mentions in the article that for SCIII they allowed CC characters in tournaments towards the end of the game's life (purely because the game was dying and they didn't care about tournament standards), so I assume that's why they're open to the idea of him at all.
    Unless they release a set Devil Jin character as DLC I can't see him ever being (and don't believe he ever should be) allowed in proper tournaments.

    I agree.

    How can be judged AT ALL, when his values as a character aren't even constant?

    He shouldn't be instantly banned, but will probably need to be if he has inconsistent hitboxes, which isn't definitely know yet afaik.

    Not sure if you read the article there dude, but he HAS got inconsistent hitboxes, because there is no actual Devil Jin character, there is only a Devil Jin moveset that can be applied to CUSTOM MADE characters.

    That's pretty much the entire issue.

    Don't think the hitbox issue is the main one to be honest. People are saying he is just over-powered fullstop. The character design issue is easily resolved as a standard build can be released for everyone to use.

    Apparently the save files are locked in the release version of the game, so sharing the decided upon character design would be difficult. People would have to make the character to specification on each machine. Not likely to happen.

    If that's the case, I'm guessing he's gonna just be straight up banned.



    Yup banned.

    I thought the files could be transferred between consoles? That 8Way run seems to think it's possible.
    He mentions that it takes about 5 hours to unlock everyone, so I really hope they're transferable anyway :/

    But who would decide upon this build? One person's opinion of a balanced Devil Jin custom could be wildly different from someone else's.

    I just think it's a completely pointless inclusion and it's only going to cause problems, but these designers never learn.

    You want to play DJ there's already a game called Tekken where you can.
