uberpixie

was weak and ordered this from play.com today, shows as in stock on their website last I checked.

Mossy Monk

The Smyths website shows it is in stock. Is it really?

I'll be getting the PS3 version tomorrow. I had been slightly conflicted on what version to get but my Xbox 360 got the red ring of death on Tuesday so that answered that question :pac:

That RRoD is a pain. At least you still get a chance to play SCIV though. :pac:

Cheapest place to pick this up? Smyths/Tesco/Xtravision?

--edit--

Xtravision €60
Gamestop €65
Smyths €65 (does anyone know what the deal with a loyalty card is – did I hear it takes €10 off?)

(for the 360 version)

Mossy Monk

The Smyths website says
Price: €59.99

That is for the PS3 version.

I was playing it at lunch and while it looks great, i really wasnt blown away by it. What i want to try is create a fighter. It would be great if you could create more Jedi for the game. From what i hear, you cant

60 blips , is it worth it ?

You can however make the female fighters pretty much naked

Cant figure out this soul crush or soul gauge stuff and what to do with it in blue or red.

A friend and I spent most of the day playing this. Initially, I was a little disappointed. It felt very different to the original (which I'd downloaded from XBLA), much slower. The more we played though, the more I enjoyed it. We unlocked most of the secret characters and it was a whole lot of fun. Yoda's really cheap though, he can't be thrown or hit with high attacks! They did an excellent job of a recreating his fighting style though. Vader's Apprentice is cool, he fits in better and isn't as overpowered as the hype suggested.

Also worth noting is the empty space between Yoda and the Apprentice on the character select screen, I suspect 360 owners will get the chance to download Vader some time (And PS3 owners will get Yoda).

Overall, I'd highly recommend this game.

Gerard_Smith

I'm a bit disappointed the Apprentices style can't be used when creating a custom character as I quite like him. Also has anyone figured out what the heck levelling a style actually accomplishes? I've noticed no difference.

Note on Vader, I understand they couldn't get James Earl Jones but is so obviously Chad Vader doing the voice its frankly comical!

robby^5

I can see myself disconnecting online if anyone uses Yoda, what a load of **** you cant throw him... ridiculous. I'm staying away from the Star Wars characters completely, it's a new level of imba.

Creature

How detailed is the character creation mode? I only ask because I had a dream last night about making Haohmaru and Genjuro from Samurai Showdown in SC4. Now that dream must come to fruition.

Mr. K

It seems pretty detailed. I haven't unlocked that much equipment yet, but I managed to edit SC2 Nightmare. So cool!

uberpixie

Its a bit slower than SC1 or at least it feels slower.
Took me a little while to get into it, but I have to say I am enjoying it

Yeah you can make those characters for the game. I have made great Ruy and Ken . Also Blade, He-Man Skelator. Bruce Lee. My best one is Deadpool .

I am loving this game by the way . Didnt like it at first but its great.

Shiminay

Had a good lash at it last night on my mate's PS3 and I really enjoyed it. We played with Vader for a bit and whilst that was grand, there's definitely enough in the regular characters to forget about the gimimick of SW characters. Might pick it up myself for the 360 tonight and see how the 2 compare.

Mossy Monk

Bought it on Friday but only got to give it a good go last night and I love it. Especially great when playing 2 player.

grizzly

Does anyone know of a decent online guide that explains customisation – how impact, power, guage etc. effect play.

Creature

Did you try gamefaqs.com?

grizzly

Yeah, I'll check later when people get time to post more there.
Thanks

Shiminay

Has anyone managed to get a Fataility (or whatever they're called - we all know what I mean) move? We were trying non-stop at the weekend and couldn't get one. Opponent's gauge was flashing red kitting the button didn't do anything.

The bar has to flashing red at the SAME time as the armour smashing noise occurs. If you press then it'll work (even if the armour has smashing already, it'll repeat again and again).

evad_lhorg

I had one of the lads on my friends list get one on me. pretty sweet looking. I really like that they havnt made them too common either because the game would just be ruined then.

I dont understand what your soul gauge in blue means though or how any of the skills effect you or how to use them.

Holsten

I'm gonna pick this up to tide me over till Tekken 6.

Game does look pretty slick.

Shiminay

Ah, ok, so it's a get them into the red, break their armour and *BAM* - Herpes.



I'm glad it's not a main "feature" of the game so, it would be overly cheesy IMO. Thanks for the info.

I think btw Mr Foo Fighter, the soul gauge flashing blue means you're good to deliver a critical finish.
