All us PS3 owners should get together and have a 4 player game, its done winner stays on and tracks everyones results and lets you watch each other? Are there 3 other people up for it?

PEOPLE WHO PLAY CERVANTES ONLINE SHOULD HANG THEMSELVES NOW

 

Seriously every match against someone using Cervantes is a joke. The first (and usually only) thing they do is the flying torpedo thing, followed by the teleport in the air drop slash thing.. rinse and repeat.

 

I know I should learn to counter/evade them blah blah (and I'm slowly doing it) but really my stress levels soar and block my concentration!!

Yeah they do kinda suck, just like the kilick players who just sit pokes the stick forward the whole time!

I know we moan at people that don't play 'properly' but shouldn't we really learn how to beat anyone like that? :p

 

Yeah but like Solo said your frustration gets the better of you...I've actually taken to sending messages to people over PSN saying things like "spamming f&!k!" funnily enough very few reply....

 

The thing that annoys me the most is when you play against someone in the higher levels is losing and starts to spam...

 

btw That Guy, I added you as a friend on PSN notice my request has gone un-accepted :(

Quite funny really, i had played some guy from america on the 360 one and he spammed like hell. Went online briefly this morning before i got to work and he had sent me a voise message apolagising for spamming saying 'he was trying to get the level up to 20 achievment' lol.

Yeah I have a couple of times resorted to sending negative feedback on Live, I know thats a bit low but I get so riled up by spammers especially when they repeatedly beat you after KO, it just... just GRINDS MY GEEEEAARRSSS.

Yeah, I know everyone complains about the spamming but lol the thing is everyone with the 360 version is going to do it at least up to lvl 20 :heh: for me the solution is simple, they spam... I spam right back, I usually own them most of the time with Xianghua too. ;)

OK I'm kinda stuck on the final floor in Tower of Souls. Anyone got any tips on beating Algol? Apparently you can get him to ring himself out.

 

EDIT: Never mind I found a cheap trick on Youtube, it works perfectly.. achievement get!

Is Zasalamel any good in this game?

 

He's good if you know how to use him. Last time i was online i played a guy who was really damned good with him, i was literally sweating! It's really difficult to beat a guy who's attack roster is based on close-range counters when you're playing Maxi (i lost overall, must have played about 10 games with him though and it was fairly close).

yeah I find that hard which is why I abandoned my previous favourite Maxi...

Kilik and Cervantes is fine the problem is the lag online breaks the game. 1/60th seconds of accuracy is impossible online.

 

Fighting games just dont work well online unless they are slowed down. SC by nature is one of the fastest and this is the slowest SC release so far...

Played a bit of the 360 version, can't say I liked it, 2 still seems the best to me. For what I could see it was unbalanced and broken and it didn't really click. Plus, don't like the character's design and HDR abuse. But that's moot, the gameplay just didn't do it. Going to try to play more to see if I change my mind.

Couldnt disagree more as i felt the same way at first(see posts). Play more. Its a grower. Are you taking advantage of Soul Crush? Its a pretty big reward for aggressive players. Guard Impact is also handy to know as usual. SC4 is actually very well balanced so far and Namco have been patching.

 

I have to say after playing this alot the game has grown on me. The mechanics here are quite solid once you get used to the changes like armor damage, soul crush etc.

 

Definately a grower. I strongly recommend this game. Online is tricky but 5 blue rating games are very good.

 

Its a shame single player is the worst this time round but the actual fighting aspect is better than 2 and 3. Not to mention its fun with people :)

played this last night- seemed pretty solid. Didn't get in to using soul crush or anything though- how does that work?

 

sadly one to drop by the wayside for me anyway. Can't afford it now, and any time i can buy games soon is going to be during the november rush so there's better games to buy.
