The biggest mistake you can make with Soulcalibur Legends (apart from buying it) is assuming that there is some strategy to the motion-based gameplay. You can make calculated, deliberate slices with the remote if you want to, but here's the inside scoop: Holding the remote and nunchuk, just move both arms up and down like you're dual-wielding knives and chopping the hell out of some vegetables. Several hours later, you win!
An in depth look into the Soul series and their history of guest characters spanning 12 characters, 7 games and 14 years.
Bonus Soul Calibur guest character wallpaper included!
Great read. I can't wait for Ezio Auditore da Firenze to make his appearance in Soul Calibur V. Resquiat en Pace fighters!
Woah.. Kos Mos was in a Soul Calibur title? I never even knew she made any cameos outside of the xenogears series.
An amazing article so much work has gone into this .. this is something that all soul calibur fans should check out
It’s not yet known whether Soul Calibur V will continue the tradition of format-exclusive special characters, but for the purpose of this top ten feature those from previous versions will be excluded. Only those characters which make up part of the core experience will be eligible, even if some of them have oddly appeared in the Tekken series also.
and considering that SC5 is 17 years in the future, the only girls that wont be saggy are talim and amy, everyone else is gonna be old
Top 10...Thats easy, start at the one with the biggest boobs as the number one, and so on.
If Ivy is in this game, her boobs will be hanging a bit lower then we are used to from her tho.
Considering this game is 17 years after the last one.
Glad to see Yoshimitsu at #4. Dude has been a beast in every SC game so far.
Jon Lynch: "Soul Calibur is easily one of the most popular fighting series in gaming and has been since the franchise first debuted as Soul Blade (or Soul Edge) in arcades. There’s no denying that one of the many factors of Soul Calibur that helps bolster the popularity are the female characters. Over the years, the women of Soul Calibur have slowly clawed their way up to the top of gaming to sit alongside the likes of the Dead or Alive women."
Alissa Kiss is the best western cosplayer ever. I still think her Cammy beats this though.
Wow, this is the lowest score for Legends so far and actually, the lowest for any Soul Calibur game.
a shame that they dragged what is a proud series through the mud like this.
I still remember when Soul Calibur was released on the DC, one of the most amazing and impressive gaming experiences of my life
This game so it makes the holiday season cut?
Gosh, oh well. moving on.
I loved the original Soul Blade (aka Soul Edge). Soul Calibur was good too, but it felt like a carbon copy so wasn't as special to me, even more so with Soul Calibur 2. Now looks like they've totally lost the plot. Although of course this is somewhat different to what has gone before.
For the record Soul Blade had one of the the best intro movies ever.
The Wii is suffering right now from 3rd parties jumping on the bandwagon. The console took everyone by surprise including developers that felt they needed to get a title out there good or bad to start soaking up some money. Of course there are some exceptions and some good 3rd party titles, but for the most part they are coming up short.
If you look at the 3 console makers you get the feeling MS and Sony are very supportive of 3rd parties, but do you get the feeling with Nintendo? I surely don't. Nintendo puts out the best games on their console and everyone else is way behind. What is going to happen after this first round of Nintendo staples: Zelda, Super Mario, Brawl, etc? Are they going to recycle back through the list or is it time for 3rd parties to start stepping up with some quality games?
I'm hoping that the latter is true and now that the first wave of "rushed" games seems to have come out, higher quality 3rd party games that have had time to gestate will start to show up.
