SOUL CALIBUR 6 PC BETA SERIES

Additionally, some characters are able to execute special attacks that can only be performed while running.

While you won't be able to destroy your opponent's weapon anymore, there are still plenty of ways to take care of 'blockers.' For starters, it is now easier to pull off unblockable moves, and with the weapon weight and stagger system, it should be no problem to knock a blocker out of his stagnant position. On a side note, the weapon meter from Soul Edge is now gone. It's just up to you if you want to be able to hop around and jab your opponent to death or simply smash them with just a couple of slow hits. While this may seem unfair, you'll need to remember that Taki is a lot faster than Astaroth and would therefore be able to get a lot more hits in before he even pulls off a guard impact. As a result, it's possible to cause Taki to stagger, effectively leaving her open to another hit. For example, if Astaroth swings his huge axe at Taki, her relatively small Sais are only going to do so much to block the attack. Guard impact and staggers are pretty much an attempt at applying realistic physics to the combat. There are a ton of brand-new innovations that make the game a marvel to play: guard impact, staggers, stage variance, stance changes, motion delay and analog cancels. Out with most of the MK-style button-mashing combos, and in with the strings. Soul Calibur addresses many of these problems, and attempts to repair them. Most of the 'combos' consisted of simple AAA, ABA, ABC button presses, and the characters were highly unbalanced. To an expert Tekken player, Soul Edge offered little but pretty graphics. It could be said that the Soul Edge team learned a lot from the development of Tekken 2, the Tekken 3 team learned from Soul Edge, and now the latest installment, Soul Calibur is a hybrid of all these games. The endings in this game will be even more elaborate. Taking the sword, Siegfried becomes possessed and is now the final Boss in Calibur. Siegfried finds the broken Cervantes and Soul Edge. Taki jumps in to defeat Cervantes and takes Sophitia from the battlefield. It seems that at the end of the Soul Edge tournament, Sophitia, mortally injured after destroying one of the evil Soul Edge swords, was about to be killed by the now-insane Cervantes. One of the main baddies in Calibur is Nightmare, who is an evil version of Siegfried. The story line for the game is extremely deep, unlike Tekken which has absolutely no story line (until its PlayStation counterpart came out with cinemas, that is). With arguably the best cinemas ever seen in a video game, and easy-to-perform moves and combos, the game was just screaming for a sequel, and now it's here. Soul Edge was released on the PlayStation in a better-than-perfect translation entitled Soul Blade.

Other fans hoped for a worthy weapon-based fighting game not seen since the Samurai Shodown series was in its prime.

Die-hard Tekken fans hoped for something to satiate their appetites for a new game in the series. Soul Edge was released a couple of years ago, right after the excitement over Tekken 2 started to die down.
