@XG247 Soul Calibur V producer Hishara Tayo spoke to XG24/7 earlier today whilst showing off the latest in the Soul Calibur series.
During a presentation of the fighter, Hishara Tayo stated how Hilde's completely unbalanced stats in Soul Calibur IV meant she was banned from being used in tournaments and was largely disliked. Tayo-san said how the unbalanced nature of Hilde was "a point of shame for us."
Soul Calibur IV launched worldwide 15 years ago, bringing with it the best performance of the series to date.
Hell no. It was the start of the downfall (SCV) of the series. Huge downstep from the giant SCIII
Used to love this series, probably my favorite 3D fighter, perhaps together with the now also dead Dead or Alive (2-3-4), but as with so many games in the fighting genre, their short-term greed (season passes) has made me lose all interest, sadly …
Loved Number 2 and 3( loved all the solo modes like chronicle of the sword ) so was super hyped when 4 came out but the lack of single player content was disappointing. Still love soul calibur to this day though
Soulcalibur official Twitter: "Valiant Warriors - Soul Calibur V is taking its final curtain call on the stage of history and will be sunset on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on June 19, 2023. The base game and all associated DLC will no longer be available for purchase. Thank you for your continued support."
This is why guest characters shouldn't be on the base roster. Im sure Ezio and the whole Assassin's Creed stuff license expired and that is why it is being removed. The same thing is probably going to happen to Soul Calibur 6 in 10 years.
Immersed Gamer writes: "Let Me Solo Her is a legendary Elden Ring player who mastered one of the most infamous bosses to help his fellow tarnished via co-op. And for his service, he received an award from Namco Bandai to commemorate his 1,000th victory. The reward in question is a real, and extremely dope, custom-made sword.
Malenia is regarded as the hardest boss in Elden Ring, and the relentless Tarnished has defended literally thousands of hosts against this malice. Let Me Solo Her apparently passed 2,000 Malenia kills a while back, but it’s hard to measure the exact count he is at now. Bandai Namco sent the gift his way when he was at around 1,000 kills. But due to the nature of the object, it got stuck in customs for a while!"
Nice to see an healthy online behavior to be recognize by the dev teams.
But man.... How many hours did he spent playing Elden Ring? Not sure it's that healthy in real life 😂
But still kuddo to him :)
I wonder will she be using the same weapon set or different?
I wasn't aware of the unbalanced Hilde problem, But I cant say I played as her much. Well problem solved so no worries right?.
I had way more trouble with Kilik online...Just typing the name reminds me of the horror.
"Hishara Tayo also mentioned how the fighter Voldo was often cited as being to hard to play as, with many players opting out of using him. Voldo has, like Hilde, been tweaked to be easier to use."
I love this since Voldo is one of my favorites. I never used to like him in the old games, but if you know how to play him correctly, you can tear shit up. I remember destroying my friends in the last Soul Caliber with his ground crawl attack. Ah good times!
On a side note, I never really noticed that Hilde was unbalanced since me and my friends never used her very much. I always thought her lack of speed was harmful.
