I just wish there were actual "new" characters other than Hilde and Algol. After all, since all the others are either from guest artists or another franchise all together, they're likely to go the way of Necrid and disappear after this game if there's to be any continuation in the series.

Still, I'm liking some of the redesigns of the old characters; Yunseong looks freakin' badass now, Kilik looks the best he has since the first Soul Calibur, Yoshimitsu and Rock look mighty, and Astaroth's made of magma - burning effect on grabs please?

It'll be interesting to see how successful they are with some of the gameplay changes they were talking about. I hope they do indeed reduce the likliehood of ringouts though.

I've played the original Soul Calibur & I own SoulCalibur 2 & 3...

One of the best fighting games, ever...

I recently got back into playing these kinda games, I use to own SC2 and i really liked it, but got bored cause i kept getting my ass handed to me on harder difficulties. The games basically a huge button mashing game to me and thats because the list of commands for the specific attacks is confusing and it asks me to hit the letter A or B when I have a PS2 controller in my hands. So I just get lucky with certain moves and if i like them ill use them. I just bought SC3 today, new for $8.99!! and I love it, the intro was pretty damn cool but im not sure if its better than the SC2 intro that one was awesome.

My fav character are the slow type characters with the devestating blows and the huge swords like NightMare for example


It suks SC4 isnt coming out on the Wii, i dont think, maybe later!! hopefully....
I think it could handle the graphics so why not =(

I had played ever single Soul series since the released of Soul Blade for Playstation 1. I really do enjoy this series alot especially the characters and their movesets. I just haven't played much of the series as of lately but with the release of Soul Calibur IV, it will take my soul to a whole new level. Li Long, Maxi, Mitsurugi, and Taki have been and will always be my favorites.

I played the original Soul Blade, and 2, but I like how 4 will have console specific characters (Vader for PS3, Yoda for 360). It seems like a good idea

I love Soul Calibur. It is easily one of the best fighting series out there, and I love the customizing it has.
