    Oh was it SC 2 or 3 that was supposed to be the most balance in the series?
    It's 2. SC3 never even had playtesting!

    However, Soulcalibur 2 does have a pretty annoying bug called '2G'.
    If I attack and the opponent guard impacts me, there's a 4 frame window where I can press Down+Guard (2G) to instantly recover into a block.

    This means most of the cast have safe pokes that could also be safe if the opponent GIs em.

    While I assume they won't be altering the game balance, at the very least they might be able to remove bugs and glitches like 2G.

    Just found SCII for Xbox at CEX for 2.50! Gonna start relearning the game on stick in preparation for the bloodbath that's to come! :P

    Daishi Odashima has been replaced; Masaaki Hoshino is now the official series producer. Previously, he was a programmer on Soulcalibur II, lead programmer on Soulcalibur IV, and Technical Programming Director on Soulcalibur V.

    His Twitter (@hoshino_calibur) is now the official Twitter for the Soulcalibur series, and he's been tweeting like a madman ever since the announcement.

    The following has been confirmed:
    • It's being released digitally in the fall for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
    • It is based on the Playstation 2 version of the game, and will feature Heihachi Mishima from TEKKEN as the guest character (this is the natural choice for a cross-platform release, as he is the only one of the guest characters that is owned by Namco-Bandai).
    • Necrid will be playable, as he was in all three original versions.
    • All game modes from the original version, including Weapon Master, will be included.
    • In-game content is unlockable, as in the original.
    • As the name suggests, the game has been remastered in HD, and Online VS mode will be included.
    • PC and Wii U versions are still being 'considered', meaning that it may yet be possible for Link to make a return (but only the Wii U, obviously).
    Two significant differences that will have an impact on gameplay:
    1. Inferno will be playable
      Inferno uses a random character's style that changes every round, like Edgemaster or Charade. However, Inferno has access to a couple of unique moves that are usable with any style, like Elysium's Critical Edge in SCV.
    2. Inferno's stage will be selectable
      This is very significant, as it means that for the first time, an infinite stage will be selectable in SCII's VS Mode, with no walls or ring-outs (SCV is the only other game in the series to include this type of stage).

    To be fair to the soul calibur lads, this was originally rumoured as a "Super SF4" update to SCV, so the discussion about it up to this point was natural to occur here. Now that an old HD remake is confirmed, I agree with Doom that talking about it here is a bit weird.

    Unless anyone wants to object that SCV itself is dead from a discussion standpoint, this could be title-changed to the "General Soul Calibur discussion thread" and be allowed to rock on.

    You're probably right. Would you be able to move all of the posts from #335 onwards across to a new thread? Or should I just start a new one and go from there?

    EDIT: Or what Prinny said also works.

    EDIT: Chopper's already gone and done it.

    Obligatory heads-up:

    Soulcalibur V is currently 5 euro on Xbox Live Deal of the Week.

    There's a good bit to learn - the mechanics were mostly the same right up to IV, and then they changed significantly in V.

    Guard impact is no longer forward or back + Guard, and there's no high or low variant any more, or even the deflect variant. Instead, there's one universal command: back + A+B+K. It repels forward all attacks except throws and unblockables, but costs half a meter stock to execute.

    There's also a guard gauge like in Soul Blade.The gauge gradually wears down as you block, and recovers over time. When it runs out, you won't lose your weapon like in Soul Blade, but your guard will be broken and you'll be open to a completely free counter-hit combo.

    The other mechanical changes are literally imported from Street Fighter III: super combos (Critical Edges), EX moves (Brave Edge) and parries (Just Guard) - yes, there are SFIII parries in this game, and they are sick. They build meter and give a huge frame advantage, so you want to learn when to use these, and save guard impacts for getting an opponent off you when you're really being pressured.
