Taking a page from Street Fighter IV, Soul Calibur now has a meter (called Critical Gauge) that fills up as you land attacks and receive damage, allowing you to perform souped-up versions of your combos (Brave Edge), or a unique super move (Critical Edge). With this iteration of the game’s combat system featuring some of the biggest and most enjoyable changes yet, that is not the case here.
#Soul calibur 5 characters name series
The last two numbered entries in the series made many small changes to the game, only resulting in them being broken and never played competitively. Namco and Team Soul may have been unconcerned with SC5’s single player, but it’s clear that they care deeply about the game’s multiplayer. It left me wanting to see those who were left out given the same treatment. I was seriously floored by how good Namco managed to make the game look, especially the characters. It doesn’t hurt that the game looks great as well, with SC5 being arguably the greatest looking fighting game on the market (at least until Tekken Tag Tournament 2 later this year). Performing character moves is responsive and provides a satisfying feeling whenever you land an attack. Softening the blow of SC5’s lackluster single player is the actual fighting in the game – which feels awesome. If you plan on only playing SC5’s single player, then there is nothing more for you to look forward to. Rounding out SC5’s paltry single player is quick play – where you choose to fight pre-created AI opponents to win titles for your multiplayer profile. Create a character returns with new items, otherwise remaining identical to previous iterations of the franchise. After beating story mode, you’ll unlock “Legendary Souls” – the same thing as arcade mode but with a more difficult AI. If that’s not your cup of tea – there’s also a standard arcade mode, pitting you against 7 AI opponents and recording your best time. I personally was wishing for it to end the entire time, uninterested in the story of two siblings whose relationship with one another borders on incestual.
The story mode in SC5 is a 3 hour experience, alternating between fights against the AI and drawn stills.
