That doesn't stop good ZWEI players from giving you a caning if they know what they're doing.

You just need to stop being ****, Auron. ^^

If you're struggling against Aeon - especially with all the zoning potential that ZWEI has to offer, you're doing something very, very wrong.

I was at a friend's house who had SCV and we played for a good while and I found it really fun.

Might end up buying it in June and giving it a srs go

Hey lads, is there enough interest in the game to try and get an SCV tourney going at this?

Or if not this week, at next month's Inferno?

Hey I don't run any tournaments; but generally the Inferno tournaments are for more established games: historically almost only Street Fighter 4, but more recently Marvel 3 due to it's loyal following. You are fairly unlikely to find support for a SCV tournament there.

The Day of Champions tournaments are probably the best proving ground to start having SC tournaments, as it generally caters to the non-SF games: Blazblue, Mortal Kombat, King of Fighters and Marvel 3 (until it was promoted to a headline game). Mortal Kombat evolved from this into having its own great scene.

I think DOCs are on a temporary hiatus due to student exams, which gives the SC players plenty of time to drum up interest, commit equipment, and very nicely ask Voa and Goody2shoes if they'll consider having SC at their future events. You guys should also write up the rules/format/list of banned characters (if any).

Your third option is to run a solo event at the XGC.

tl;dr: Inferno isn't gonna happen, but you have other options.

Done, don't play it myself but it's about time ye lads had it at a tournament.

Auron fought a match against French top player Kayane the other night. Can't sit down for a week after the spanking she gave him.

Guys, if you bump into any top players online, upload the goddamned replays!

Jaysis, I know she's a bigger deal in sc but I didn't know she was that big a deal- both dreddy and I have played her in person, and I've even had a wee chat with her. She thought I was an Italian for some reason. Lol

That reminds me, I've matches of me vs. Keev from about 2 months ago. I'll have to upload them!

Doctor DooM

All right people, there's a soul caliur tournament on soon.

Them continuing or not well depend on the attendance, so if you want to play some competitive SC- time to put up or shut up!

SirAuronDX

FFFF. as much as i'd love to attend it's too far south for me and i'm also attending a birthday on that day. pity. i think i'll look into starting something up north here

TheMikenyan

Doom: a lot of the players who want this to go ahead can't seem to make it on the day. We're gonna need to put our heads together and take another crack at this during the summer - putting all the eggs in this one basket is just not on.

DarkTalant

I'll be there playing sc5 regardless. Admittedly im not very good at the game but if any sc players are free they should definitely come along.. Even if we get relatively few entrants docs are usually a fun day.

TheWitch06

Is anyone still playing SCV? Or is the game completely dead already? Casuals?

You know you guys can organise casuals/ranbats yourselves? From what I hear theres a good few sc players (like 10-12) and you don't have to rely on people like doom who don't even play the game to organise stuff like tournaments and with so many ways to communicate to players nowadays you shouldn't really have to tbh

@thewitch atm it seems only marvel, sf and mk are being played at casuals

We had a good group of players back when the game first came out but then everyone just disappeared...

I know Jun, no love for any 3D fighters unfortunately!

Fergus_

Just a headsup, there's a SCV tourney at my tournament on August 18th.

And you can always bring SCV to the bi-weekly casuals and get others to come and play it similar to the MK Krew to re-ignite interest.

I'd get into SCV as I love 3D fighters, but I've no money as of now but I do plan to get it in the future.

Misty Chaos

My problem is that I'm very much interested in playing, enjoy playing it but there is no one locally who I can play it offline with. It was great being able to finally get some offline action last weekend at DoC but I don't plan on being up in Dublin too much before I go to Oz in November.

Another thing is I'm pretty certain the release of TTT2 will pretty much be the death of the game, which will be a pity. Flawed as it is, it's still a fun game.

DarkTalant

I still like this game even though I don't get to play it as much as I'd like. I'm up for playing it whenever I make it to casuals which isn't too often unfortunately...
I'll stick up a post next time I'm going to be at casuals so we can hopefully get a few games going

FirLocke

I still play it a fair bit, I can only go to tournaments around Cork though, I can't afford to go to Dublin really. So if there's places in Cork playing Calibur V, let people know! Also, most places have tournaments run on Xboxes it seems and I play on PS3, so I'd have to borrow other people controllers, which I hate doing.

Da Bounca

I play a bit online still, but don't have much time to get to casuals or tournaments. In a couple of weeks I'll be more available though.

FirLocke

Had a pretty good time online yesterday, won all of my matches(yay). I'm curious, who do you guys play? My main is Maxi and I came across a couple of Ivy(non-custom) players yesterday and they gave me the most tense matches. I never really see Ivy players so those two players stood out quite a bit.

In fact, one of them was French and I gave him massive props for the great match but dude didn't know any English xD. I tried translating what I said into French but he hasn't replied yet. I wonder if I said something offensive by accident. xD

Anyway yeah, who do you guys play?

Misty Chaos

Well, my SCV main appears in my signature ( Pyrrha Omega ) but I do also play Regular Pyrrha from time to time as well.

Da Bounca

I main Astaroth and mess around with Cerv and Yoshi

TheWitch06

Maining Ivy and playing Viola as secondary.

MelficeVKM

Pat as main but looking for a new char. Viola seems fun

FirLocke

And as a reverse(lol), who is your worst match?


Canonically and literally, my worst match up is Astaroth. I also find Voldo and Siegfried difficult. I thought Xiba and Nightmare would be tough for me considering Maxi is short range but I find myself doing very well against them as long as I keep up my pressure and stay close to them.


*Now fully expects to be whooped by a Xiba or Nightmare sometime soon.*

FirLocke

Finally found a way around one of my most hated attacks!

You know that horizontal move Astaroth has where he can charge it up to be a guard break attack, hits mid and has very long range? I could never do anything to it because if I block I get my guard broken, if I run up to interrupt he lets go and hits and I can't duck it because it hits mid.

My solution: 2A+B. Even though it mightn't hit Asty because I might be too far away but it gets Maxi's full body on the ground to dodge it. Worked well!

Xbox 360 players! There is a big Online Tournament happening very soon(July 22nd) and many countries are competing and their respective players are representing their country.

So far there are no Irish representatives! If you're interested GO OUT THERE(from your living room) AND KICK SOME ASS.


Info about applying here: http://europeanscvotournament.skyrock.com/


If you're wondering why I don't apply, well, I don't have an Xbox.

Da Bounca

I signed up, nice one.

TheWitch06

Lol well apparently I've been selected for representing Ireland in this tournament?... I just received a message from a Gamertag called "EuropeanSCVOT".

Ok update; day of selection is 23rd of July so whoever else registers, I suppose we all play each other and then winner will rep Ireland in this online tournament so, register everyone!

TheMikenyan

EuropeanSCVOT is perfectly legit: http://europeanscvotournament.skyrock.com/

Already been invited to the selections on Monday. See ya there, lads!

PS. I main Raphael. Looking to pick up a secondary.

@Witch - haven't seen you online in ages, man, where ya been?

FirLocke

Good luck lads! May the best man win!

TheWitch06

Good games to everyone last night in the tournament! I'm really surprised we managed to get 9 entries, I was expecting a lot less which is good.

Semi's and Grand Finals were really fun! Had some close matches with both Johnathan and Ugo.

I hope that the game doesn't start to die out soon as I want people to still play and get better as I do love the game.

Maybe we can have some offline casuals soon and try and get most of the SC players to come? I'll need some practice anyway for this online tournament!

@Mikenyan - I have been online just not been playing SC as much. I have shown up to a lot of the weekend casuals but none of the SC guys ever come.

Da Bounca

Some great SoulCalibur was played last night. It was good to see so many folks playing at that level.

Congrats to Witch the Irish representative!

The tournament will be streamed as far as I know, will post the link when i find it.

Misty Chaos

While the tournament could have being organised better, it was good to see such a strong turn out, took me by surpise as well. GGs to everyone I played last night.

FirLocke

Sounds like it turned out good! Good luck to Witch in the rest of the tournament.

FirLocke

Here we go again! Another online tournament is being hosted by 8WAYRUN.com.

This one however, is a bit of a hassle to sign up for. You have to be free on several dates.

"Signups end: Thursday, August 2nd
Winners round 1: Tuesday, August 6th
Winners round 2/Losers round 1: Sunday, August 12th
Winners round 3/Losers round 2: Friday, August 17th
Winners round 4/Losers rounds 3 and 4: Thursday, 23rd
Losers Semifinals, Finals & Grand Finals: Friday, August 31st, (or maybe on stream August 25th. No promises, but keep that day open anyway.)

As always, if you can forsee a problem playing your match one of those weeks, I encourage you to not sign up. Also, if you don't think you have it in you to see this through to the end, don't sign up either."

I can't say for sure that I can sign up myself yet, but I'm just letting the community know about the tournament. Good luck to whoever signs up!

TheWitch06

Just played my first match in the tournament. I lost 3 - 2 to the guy from Austria. I've come to realise I am so free to Yoshimitsu's low attacks. :P So now on to the next match!
