I'm not going to sit here and have a giant argument about this, I'm just gonna say a lot of Stewart's storylines are romance drama centered around characters who have no personality and give us no reason to care about them. Meanwhile, Superman literally has an episode where he grows a beard, fights monsters with swords, and then chills out with Vandal Savage. John doesn't undergo a character arc at all, he is literally defined by his boring personality and his romance subplots.

Wasteland Superman would be such a rad costume, holy poo poo.

You people don't have a clue. You live in your little bubble where you learn your prescribed combos and that's all. As an example EVERY (and i mean EVERY) Batman player now does the exact same thing. Same with pretty much all the characters. You've created and allowed to be created a tedious repetitive game with no room for variety or creativity because the one uber combo is the only and most effective way to play. Yet half the cast is hosed as a result of decisions like these. Characters with few answers to zoning or speed rushdown don't stand a chance.

All true. That's why Doomsday is the ultimate pro character. No combos, no dumb throws like Grundy. Just pure skill.

I would say they were a Soul Calibur 2 fan, where combos played a reduced role as far as I can remember. I looked in Wikipedia and was freaking out - has it really been 10 years since I played Soul Calibur 2? Crazy.

They played as much of a roll in SC2 as they do in most any other fighter. I suspect because of its attempts to market itself to a wide audience on all 3 of the major consoles out at the time plus its console exclusive characters attributed to a percentage of players getting it and not giving a poo poo about combos due to house rules or gamer honor or whatever.

Well back in 2003 there weren't fighting streams or anything like that, so I've actually never seen high level SC2. I remember there being a couple of follow-up moves but long combo strings...I just don't remember there being any. But that doesn't mean they weren't there - I don't have the eye of the tiger or will to win or whatever. I'm not good at figuring out what's abuseable in these games - I rely on the fine folks of this forum to give me guidance.

SCV is actually pretty drat good, as long as you don't mind the non-multiplayer parts being literally 1/3 complete with no plans to finish them.

Like, there weren't even arcade mode endings. That's how rushed it was.

Whaaaaaaat. If someone who plays Superman is also the same kind of player who would rage quit then that is not an accurate assessment of how well Superman does versus Batgirl when played by someone who knows what they're doing.

(Also yes, SCV rocks. Except for the inclusion of Algol. gently caress that guy)

Multiplayer and the character creator were amazing, that's enough to make SCV great. I didn't know there were so many people who disliked it, I thought V was considered by almost everyone to be one of the highs of the series.

I started trying out Sinestro. I like him, but I can't seem to beat other long range characters reliably. I can't beat a Deathstroke with him for the life of me, and even Nightwing has that weird thing with his staff that seems timed almost perfectly to disrupt me.

Soul Calibur 3 is a fighting game that completely killed the Soul Calibur scene in the U.S and Asia by being a buggy, horrible to play mess with no redeeming qualities except here's a lovely character creation mode and a bunch of a superfluous singleplayer horseshit.

I hope so. I can see Batgirl being banned in tournaments until it gets fixed. Hopefully that's soon. Batgirl was released not long after Lobo so I hope the next one isn't that far off either. I just want them to announce it already.

God drat we need a Soul Calibur 2-4 thread so I can argue in it.

Batgirl's free MB thing isn't -that- huge, is it? Of course, I don't combo with her, so what do I know.

It should be noted that spamming db2 into a overhead/low mixup is amazing and I think people who play me get really frustrated. Hit them with db2, dash in, use it again as they wake up! Are they trying to hit you? Use db2! Did they backdash out of the way of your first db2? Use it again!

I have won matches solely by using this move. I am a bastard.

You're winning because the people you fight don't know that every variation of Batgirl's db2 is punishable by crouch blocking.

As Sinestro, what can I do against a Deathstroke hounding me relentlessly with pistols? All of my long range moves seem too slow to interrupt him - at best we both each damage, at worst any move I try I'm knocked out of by pistol fire - and if I try to jump in I eat a blade spin to the face.

I know there must be a way to counter him, but this is the first fighting game I've ever tried to play more than just single player and the odd bout of couch multiplayer so I'm finding the learning curve a little rough.
