Jimbob Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Just beat Story mode with Yoda, got one more character to unlock now and that is The Apprentice. Just have to beat him as Yoda now on Arcade to do so i think.
Roostophe Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 No, no. The character has to "flash" an red lightening sort of thing and their bar will go black. Umm...I'm going to ignore your so-called "advice" and take what is below. The best thing to do is to get the gem red and health flashing. Once you do this just do 1 hit at a time and as soon as the gem breaks hit LB. Use Yung Sung or whatever hes called, the guy with he banada and little sword. Just do his forward Y Y move and the gem will smash in no time. If you create a one with Soul Gauge damage and hes at level 9 he will cause a critical hit in 6 moves. I spent a good hour doing event 11 over and over yesterday just to get 100 critical finishes, pretty simple once you get the hang of it. When the gem breaks? Okay then. I'll take what you just said, HoT, and keep it in mind for when I play it again. I also went through Arcade on Edge Master difficulty hoping to have an opponent perform it on my character, so I could at least see what one of them looked like. (I saw Astaroth's, btw.)

Dante Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Yes UbiSoft are the publishers for SCIV in Europe just like Capcom are the publishers rockstar games in Japan.

Anyway back to SCIV. I am loving it still. Whilst I am a long term fan of the game I don't claim to be the best player ever. But I have so much fun playing it! I lot of the high end play is above my head. But having said that I think I still have room for improvement. I have struggled online with Maxi if anyone plays as any characters that have a long range it can be hard to get up close like I can. Have played quite a few online games and enjoyed them. Mostly got my arse kicked but still had a good time. One thing though why is the filter for who you play and what level they are go +10,+20,+30 etc...why is there no option to play players of similar levels. One final thing how come on the PS3 version when you click Friends Match it just says no rooms open, wheres the friends invite system? With that in mind...anyone on PS3 playing this and not added my PS3 ID?!
Guest Jordan Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I'm having serious issues with that 450K arcade achievement... ¬_¬ The Asteroth method is at best difficult to pull off due to the hold diagonal down X move can often pull off a different one which isn't useful. I've been using Cervantes (sp) X + Y and back or Y + B and back but obviously you can't guard break in single player with any modifications so if they block you're often fucked.
flameboy Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Gotta love some of the user created stuff showing up; http://kotaku.com/photogallery/scivcreator/ Kill Bill; Mario Bros; Ronald McDonald;

I've been using Cervantes (sp) X + Y and back or Y + B and back but obviously you can't guard break in single player with any modifications so if they block you're often fucked. I did it first time using the Asteroth method. I found it easier to pull off with the D-Pad rather than the analogue stick. I just did a low swing with a big chop down ( Y ) and watched the perfects roll in I finally got my 10,000 meters achievy last night. Me and my mate just put it on a player match, 5 rounds with 80 seconds per match and ran circles around each other. You get well over 1,000 meters everytime you do it.
flameboy Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 btw quick question...what is the size of the install on Soul Calibur on PS3? thought of giving it a go if it speeds up by a reasonable amount...although to be honest it doesn't take that long to load.
McPhee Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Tower of Souls is a walkthrough if you use Astaroth with Drain HP A and Soul Edge. You can pretty much spam his diagonal down back and X ( hold ) move followed by the Y button. Its how I got my score achievement in arcade aswell Was playing a guy online yesterday who was doing that! Saw him slaughter the other 3 people on the server with barely a scratch! I've never heard an American teenager as pissed off as he was when i chose the smallest arena and got him with a ring-out 15 seconds in :p He was literally screaming at me! Anyway back to SCIV.

But having said that I think I still have room for improvement. I have struggled online with Maxi if anyone plays as any characters that have a long range it can be hard to get up close like I can. The flying kick is Maxi's solution to that problem, practice doing it without a run-up and you'll quickly have something that can get you back in to the action. There's a few jumping nunchuck moves that are useful for closing gaps aswell. I can't remember the button combos off the top of my head though so you'll have to look in the moves list for em. The key to beating someone like Kilik (assuming the other person ain't very good) is to flying kick as soon as the round starts and then keep up an offensive for the whole round. If you stay on top of him there's buger all most players can do about it! Use horizontal combos when he's on the ground, they're a lot more difficult to dodge when you get up than vertical combos and kicks are. Most players go straight for an attack as soon as they stand up, and as Maxi is faster they're pretty much buggered from the off if they don't accidentally dodge the attack.

Jimbob Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I took so much abuse from an American gamer yesterday, me using Maxi and he was using Nightmare. Everytime he went for an attack, i jumped over him and smacked him with a few nunchuck attacts from behind and even got a few ring outs over him. Then later on, he said change character, so i did to Yoda and you really should of heard the language coming out of his mouth when he saw who i was and how he couldn't even hit me. Laugh Out Loud moment that was

Yeah that does make sense to use that technique with Maxi. I have actually taken to playing with Kilik now and Sophita (which has surprised me but she has a lot of good moves!) Anyway here are my attempts at creating the TMNT, please note they are works in progress... One feature I really really wish they had was if you beat someones custom character you can add it to one of your 50 slots...I saw a sweat Sub Zero holding Soul Calibur....
KKOB Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 OMG £5 to the first person to make a green lanturn SC IV char :P
D-Day Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 I must say flameboy, I'm impressed (still need to face you on this ) Well, now I've played both versions online, I must say that I actually prefer playing it on the PS3 in comparison to the 360. There is a delayed reaction in both which is bad enough but it makes a huge difference in a fighting game if one is a shade quicker, and I found that the PS3 version is. I'm not sure if that was just for me though. I think my record on the two versions speak for themselves too. Oh, and there is nothing better than beating a level 31 American and hearing him bitch and moan (whilst your still level 1)
That Guy Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Just played some of the arcade mode. Glad I got this, it still feels like the same great Soul Calibur game from before.
flameboy Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 OMG £5 to the first person to make a green lanturn SC IV char :P I'll give it a go...so far I made Ken from Streetfighter, all of the TMNT..., sub zero, scorpion, altair I must say flameboy, I'm impressed (still need to face you on this )Well, now I've played both versions online, I must say that I actually prefer playing it on the PS3 in comparison to the 360.

I've had the same thing when I beat a level 18 he sent me a ton of messages on PSN...I just ignored him he soon got bored...
Daft Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Can some tell me how to tag out on the tower, if you can? It's driving me fucking barmy. The manual is fucking useless. Why even make one if it says shit all in it.
Guest Jordan Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Its RB on the 360, i'd assume its R1 on the PS3.
Daft Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Its RB on the 360, i'd assume its R1 on the PS3. Cheers, I'd reassigned R1 to do the second throw.
flameboy Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Well had a really good afternoon on SCIV today. Got my win percentage up to 44% which I am really happy about as it was as low as 13 this morning...I only lost two ranked matches, one to a level 33 and one to a spamming little $*!#. Anyway I have taken to using custom characters I have created as I like to show them off...which is what I am going to do now. With some characters I have tried to stay faithful to their original looks. But with others I have built them up to fit in with the soul calibur setting...take Sub Zero and Scorpion, I made them and thought they looked darn boring so had to redo them to make them armoured whilst still trying to keep faithful to their designs...please remember all characters are work in progress and would very much appreciate any feedback and input... SCORPION JASON- FRIDAY 13TH HULK KEN HE MAN SUB ZERO VS SCORPION SUPERMAN VS HULK My plan is to make sets of characters...next on the mortal kombat front is Raiden. Then I plan on doing Shredder to complete my Turtles collection, finally I have started the ball rolling with creating a LOTR set of characters... I don't know whats got in me the last time I got into a character creator was WWF Warzone on the N64!
Daft Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 F*ck me, some of the tower levels are chopping hard.

Some of those are really good With all the Batman talk at the moment i decided i had to do Robin. Will post pics later, it's not perfect but not a bad likeness.
