Your opponent now has to suffer in the knowledge that he should have fallen off that edge, and each breath he now takes is a dishonorable one
Only Lizardman, but his moveset is incomplete, has many blank inputs (i think 4B and 4K have no attacks at all for example), and his CE (which is still Sophie's) has no hitbox.
Finally beat Libra of Souls. It had its moments but after a while it just stops being fun with all the super powered always soul charged enemies or other annoying conditions. There's no way I'm doing this a second time for the other ending. Groh continues to be one of the best characters though. And at least it was worth it to unlock Raphael's true ending.
It looks like they're setting up Raphael to be the villain in the next game, if there is one. Or at least the one to set things in motion. Azwel being alive was a nice twist too because he's fucking great. I hope they don't bring back Algol though. Fuck that guy.
2a is typically a universal fast normal, equivalent of a jab. There are also gong to be others for each character. I think Seong has a just frame 1bk or 3bk which is a very fast kick that knocks people quite a ways back.

I tried to access Edge Master's style, but it just makes the character use Mitsurugi's style every time.
The moment I saw a wizards coat I knew I had to make a Dr. Strange CaS with Azwels moveset. I can't post pics atm but the result is glorious.
Most low attacks, especially fast ones, are negative on hit. If you get hit with a low attack (an actual low, not a 2A), it's generally your turn to attack. It's really a matter of knowing frame data, or at least what attacks are adv and disadv. Once you block an attack that isn't adv on block, it's your turn and you can usually at least 2A.
Also, the defensive tools in this game are better than almost any previous SC. Between RE and GI, it's pretty easy to get out of offensive pressure. It's just a matter of not abusing those mechanics so it's harder for an opponent to punish you for it.
So when you start a new character, you'd rather have them start at the highest rank and just mount up losses, dropping your overall rank? No thank you.
I think this game has stronger defensive options than most other fighting games, especially 3D fighters. Azwel is 100% offense, and he can be difficult if the opponent knows how to use RE and GI well. There are just a lot of tools to get out of stuff or interrupt stuff.
I haven't had too many issues though. It's easy to bait some of the defensive responses, but against better players it can be more difficult. Nightmare is an especially difficult match for Azwel because of his armor stuff and Azwel not having good stand alone low attacks to blow that up.
B+K in Ax is a good low (super unsafe though), but 9A will be blocked on reaction against anyone good. I usually only use it to jump over low attacks, or when it's guaranteed in a combo.
What rank are you? I'm E2 at the moment.
Soul Chronicle is pretty easy the whole way through, but Libra of Soul--while it starts really easy--builds into some serious challenge.
Haha, too bad. Guess japanese devs are finally catching on to data mining.
I can't tell if it's that or if they haven't started working on DLC characters yet. The SC1 music DLC is in plain sight, so I'm leaning towards the latter.
By the way, what's the deal with this series and underwhelming box art? I love the Japanese box art for Soul Edge, but it's been a downhill ride ever since imo.
It's possible they just don't care about concealing music dlc. (As an aside, I'm happy to have it confirmed).
I think, considering how long it takes to make a character, it's unlikely they haven't started. Unless, god forbid, they want to sell lizardman as the second season pass character. Okubo also said a while ago that they were currently working on the CaS packs, and those aren't scheduled to release until after the second dlc character.
In honour of the new season of Castlevania dropping, I tried my hand at an Alucard:
Very nice, though I feel like he could use sharper features. The face selection doesn't exactly give a lot of options though.

It's just a shame that the body types start at bodybuilder and go up from there. Alucard needs to be seriously lean.
Only with how accessible the explosion thing is. The range of the explosion could be a little lower as well.
Another reason why the ranking system isn't that great.
I'm rank 9 for Azwel. Every single player in the top 10 (other than me) has roughly 100+ more wins than I do. That means they have a ton more losses as well since I'm less than 2k points behind #1. The player right under me at #10 has 300 more wins than I do lol.

You can bust out the second ending in ~2.5 hours from start to finish if you only do story battles and skip all dialogue. I did it with the Nightmare moveset in picture-in-picture (or you can stop before beating the final boss, save, complete it, then reload your save and do astral fissures to flip your alignment, then complete the final boss again for the second ending).
Got the platinum. Now will just pop in occasionally for ranked fun.
Then your rank would not be accurate. What would be the point?
Having unique ranks for each character means your rank with each character is accurate. I guess I don't see the benefit of having one universal rank?
I like it, keeps stress low. Tekken gets me all tilty and mad, here there's no stakes so you can just chill!
Everytime I vs a Sophitia I get absolutely trashed. I can't seem to get out of the High/Low guessing game and actually impose my game on them. It's a nightmare. Any tips?
I play Yoshi exclusively. Sometimes I'll manage to get in and not let up, and win a round, but have never beaten a Sophitia over 3 rounds.
Agreed. I love it. When I accidentally flip off the edge and ring myself out to lose the game, I don't rage - I just laugh. That's how it should be.

Especially when the Kawano promotional art always looks so good.
I guess it makes sense considering the branding - you need the guest characters in focus, you need to show it's a 3D fighting game. A beautifully drawn cover would probably hurt sales by making people think it's some sort of JRPG, renders of Geralt vs. Yoda show you what you're getting.
Pro tip to everybody here: Back up your saves before fucking with Cheat Engine.
Tried to get max SP because I was sick of not being able to DL characters from missing a part or two and I ended up corrupting my save and all 30 hours of progress I've made so far. Now, I'm not that upset about it because all I've really done so far was beat the main story and a few characters and make one or two CaS (one of which I wrote down the formula to because i took her from LoS), but losing some of my friends favorite DLd CaS like Shrek and all 3 Pillar Men is a big oof and will really annoy me if i can't find more online.
Also the Character Sharing system is an absolute piece of burning garbage and may as well not exist. Leaving for 2 minutes to buy a CaS part and not being able to find a character again will always be beyond stupid.

I think I downloaded that character this morning at 4amIn honour of the new season of Castlevania dropping, I tried my hand at an Alucard:
Oh I get that. I just don't know what stuff like 66BB and stuff like means. So when I'm reading the advice in the thread I just don't get what it means.
It's the numpad notation, so look at your numpad and see where the 6 is located. Always assume you're on the player 1 side when looking. So 66 would be forward, forward and BB would be... well... whatever you have B set to. So tap forward twice then press B twice.
Ooooooooooo
Gods that makes so much sense. How did I not realize that.
Played some matches against Wolfkrone and my friend wanted me to upload it so I thought I'd share here too if anyone wants to check out Geralt or Azwel.
Why not just play casual matches then? I mean in this game there isn't a good option for that besides rooms, but if rank stresses you out, just play casual.
Sophie is kind of dumb. She has a lot of attacks that tech crouch, she has good natural combos, and many of her attacks space perfectly to set her up for whiff punishing if you push a button after blocking. She's also a super easy character for novice players to pick up and actually be somewhat decent with as they learn the game.
As Yoshi I would recommend lots of 2A. If 2A hits you can mix up between FC B and FC 3K, both of which can't be interrupted if 2A hits. Once you knock her down, FLEA A+B works really well to stop wake up super, wake up GI or wake up RE. If Sophie blocks it, 4KB can't be interrupted in most situations. It can be stepped, but you can use MED K to catch step and give you a free DGF A. If the Sophie is hitting buttons on wake up, just BBB to stop her from doing that so you can go into FLEA mix-ups. Once you've taught her that, you can mix in FLEA K into MED A or B.

Having only your highest rank show on your 'Player Licence' only encourages people to stick with one character.
Like I said, if I'm not playing as the character with the most RP I feel like I'm wasting my time. : (
A solution would be to keep the individual ranks, but also have them all add up into one main, overall rank.
Got RDR2 and BO4 yet all I wanna do is play SC6. Most fun I've ever had in a 3D fighting game.
Also, CAS is the best thing about ranked and I'm dropping it if they allow people to filter them out to default characters. SUE ME.

Amazing. Nice work.Pretty pleased with how this turned out!
