I think my favorite thing about this game is that everybody feels broken. Which makes it super entertaining to watch.

[@ElDrHouse2010]

nah

[@MikeTheGamer77]

just not that fun to play, which is a problem. But sigfreid is DEF broken.

[@viewtifulgold4223]

@@MikeTheGamer77 Eh, I think it's pretty fun. What killed me personally was the custom characters in ranked mode, that hurt the game so much the first few months. I'll definitely pick it back up if Setsuka comes back.

[@Shiratto]

ViewtifulGold | How so?

[@Lukmendes]

@@Shiratto Custom characters can have different sizes than the original characters, which makes a huge difference, I think there are also costumes that can obscure the player's body, which can make it harder to see what's going on.

[@yvesgomes]

2:44 That sequence was so dope!

[@tired_linh]

Shoulda went back to Amy.

[@sagen06]

Stole my comment 😔

[@MrYexas]

Yuppppp

[@Nomans_Nomen]

I want these two to commentate every pro tournament I watch.

[@pandawolf5990]

Who cares? dude the tekken ones go harder they sometimes even roast the people playing it’s so funny and when they go off topic and realize that someone got a perfect or see the score there like whoa hold up what just happened

[@tselelleb]

Im really glad Sandman is starting to use Amy competitively (we need more of her) and staying away from Azwel (Hopefully he drops him though I doubt it considering how OP he is)...

[@h0m3st4r]

Now that you mention it, I don't know why Sandman switched to Azwel after Game 3 here, considering that he was doing better against Linkorz with Amy.

[@Pan_Z]

@Jinxed Swashbuckler at NLBC yes. There's significantly more characters outside of New York. A Voldo won EVO. A Cervantes wins in Asia. A Mitsurugi keeps winning everything in Europe. You see the same characters at NLBC because people like their current characters.

[@Darkon2050]

Jinxed Swashbuckler Soooo nightmare is still good? Just now catching up with the game and last time I played I recall people complaining that nightmare was “broken,” which usually results in the devs dropping the nerf hammer.

[@Pan_Z]

@@Darkon2050 Online warriors complained Nightmare was broken. A lot of the nerfs weren't major, as well as complimented by buffs in later patches, so he's still pretty good.

[@Darkon2050]

Pan Z Nice, thank you. Anywhere you know of where I can find the list of changes pretty easily? Just curious what was changed, and if anything is significantly better or worse now.

Guys any tips on doing Siegfried's fast input for his "spinning backslash"...I love this game but I honestly suck at fast inputs and exact timing moves...

[@s4v4getheron99]

i dont play sieg but damn watching this man playing is so entertaining

[@MrYexas]

Siegfried reminds me ok anakin Skywalker when u select him and the camera zooms in 🤣

[@Darkon2050]

Is nightmare still good...? Haven’t seen him in any tournaments lately but then again I’m just now catching up with this game.

[@ultimateleague431]

I hope we get sesuka

[@roflfin]

Yes. There is a severe lack of an iaido based character and Partoklos in 5 was a bit of an unlikable ass.

[@tevindavis9504]

Me too man

Oh god no! Setsuka was soo cancer

[@jessehernandez8419]

We got Setsuka lmao

That commentary was hilarious! Linkorz will certainly hit puberty one day. We´re waiting for it. Apparently, it´s not just RIP and TastySteve who can be really funny commenting Tekken matches.

[@ivanmendez5419]

I love Soul Calibur 6

Do you guys know how to do that cancel at 15:15 ? iagA LH

I can do aga over and over but not just frame. I dont even try to get the lethal hit. Its too hard for me and risky

Have you been under a rock they announced cassandra and season 2 with a new guest character haomaru from samurai shodown and New moves for all the characters

[@jahjah3535]

I see this game's still being dominated by Siegfried. Should be called "Siegfried Calibur."

Good thing Siegfried is sick as hell, lol. Though I'm personally a Nightmare/Zasalamel main

[@Slycarlo]

I hate fighting against fast and agile heroes like amy cause they deal small damage but in a very fast and continuous phase. Those dude are fast and good

[@skyuru]

What a great fight °°

[@cq9178]

Season 2 is viola, heiachi mashima, sessuka,and samurai showdown

[@animaIpath]

leaked?

[@Zolmi_]

A good Amy gameplay, and Azwel getting destroyed on top of that ? Yeah I'll gladly take that !

[@LeonValCh]

When Azwel was picked I was like: "You cheating bastard, choosing the boss character" and then saw him getting his ass handed to him.

Dang Sandman you were doing so well.

[@deadringer-cultofdeathratt8813]

As an Amy main, white roses are the way to go

[@MD-lw4kw]

really? I made it to C3 with red rose alone. Almost forgot white rose exists lol

[@KumiStellari]

@@MD-lw4kw when you keep in mind what your white roses do, it's insane. All of your guard impacts last 50% longer, and you get some sick combos out of them to boot, as well as having access to more utility in your kit. Red roses are awesome, and bring so much damage and combo potential to the table. White roses are just as cool, and super fun to get in your opponent's head with.

[@KaentukiTheFuki]

Hes not playing ANYTHING like the A rank Amy's I'm subjected to. Wheres the constant auto G.I and R.I into random inputs? Like c'mon. I've fought way tougher Amy's than that.

[@Bo0mH3ad5hot]

Everyone has their own playstyle. Lol plus this was 10 months ago.. season 1

[@KaentukiTheFuki]

@@Bo0mH3ad5hot I get that but I've seen these same Amy's Auto G.i and shred apart ivy and Cervantes and Siegfried. This amy would lose to ME.

[@so0meone]

@@KaentukiTheFuki You probably wouldn't have been seeing those same players doing that 10 months ago when there were no pro players playing her to learn from.

[@spiderjump]

I know this is a game but it looks so ridiculous. A blade weighing 120 pounds swinging fast blocked by thin blade held by 110 pound girl.

[@Time2GoHam1995]

It’s anime

[@peedipiper9048]

Fighting game logic in a nutshell

[@SeventhheavenDK]

You cant be serious. Really, logic in a videogame. I guess you find everygame ridiculous then.

[@spiderjump]

David Kings not really.. but when you see small thin female characters throwing a giant it just looks so ridiculous

[@SeventhheavenDK]

@@spiderjump . Ah, so it is only double standard. Okay.

Why do the commentators seem more toxic than the actual players?

For some reason it feels like Soul Calibur is full of toxicity.

[@Shiratto]

@@Amotivatedindividual What makes you say that?

[@Shiratto]

@Amotivatedindividual That's quite vague but aight. It's the internet, if you go searching in the depths you're gonna find some bad stuff.

[@e69alpha]

When did sieg get long ass combos

[@necrocoffee5626]

He didn't, this guy just practiced which short combos go together quickly enough for the opponent to not respond accurately.

[@UnknownZealot77]

Pretty much chaining mixups together.

[@Pan_Z]

Does Enders know SRSH K (the low he keeps referencing) has guaranteed punishes? An i12, i16 horizontal, or i20 kick all work.

He is using lewza backwards. Phonetics.

Thank goodness this game is dead after Evo. Samurai shodown is the Premier weapon fighter now, Soul Calibur team needs to take notes on what makes a game fun.

[@DivineDeviation]

Yeah, dead game is being played at EVO... riiiiight... who has kicked your ass in SC so thoroughly that you're still crying bitter salty tears? :D

[@Hankola]

@@DivineDeviation You know, he's kinda right. SC5 died after Evo. This game might head the same path because of broken mechanics like displayed here.

[@DivineDeviation]

@@Hankola we'll have to wait and see, I can't see the future but boy do I see the butthurt :D

[@Hankola]

@@DivineDeviation Again, the man is stating a semi fact. The game died after Evo, last year. There's no salt or butt hurt here. Namco has a habit of killing their own games off because of poor quirks that don't get addressed. I hope you're participating in SC6 just like I am.

[@tselelleb]

@@Hankola its SCVI. Not SCV...and VI although does not give the numbers of Smash, Tekken and SFV...still puts up entrant numbers much better than its predecessors. It still has a good chance of returning due to how passinate its fans support it next year but I dont know after that.

[@ssaiahiimmons]

I love this game and haved for a long time hints me commenting in 2022 however I can admit the fan base is cringe and the game is really overly anime inspired , the voice acting is cringey also 🥲. I feel like SC isn’t cool anymore and If they move the story out of the 1500s I think it will be 🤷🏾‍♂️
