Soul Calibur 4
Lately i’ve been playing Soul Calibur 4 on the Xbox 360. Although the single player is far from perfect, story mode lasts about 15 minutes, it’s a great fighting game which I actually prefer over Dead or Alive. While Dead or Alive is better in terms of available gameplay modes, i very much prefer the combat in Soul Calibur.
With DoA4 you have to break your fingers on a regular basis to execute some of the combo’s, long strings of directions and buttons are required to execute the more powerful attacks. In SC4 all the attacks are usually pretty easy to execute, consisting mostly from a single motion and some keys. Executing the different moves usually depends on which stance you are using, with each stance having different moves.
I’m currently stuck in Time to Trifle, stage 38 of the The Tower of Lost Souls. It’s not that hard to kick their asses, just hard to do it fast enough. Constantly running out of time on the last stage. Usually im using Tyra and Taki with HP drain and shave to beat them to a pulp, but I’m trying out some other chars now, ones that have an easier time getting ring outs. Cervantes seems too work okay. Still didnt make it though.
