  1. As we move into May, we leave the Sonic vocal tracks behind. A part of me is a little sad, but I am sure Sonic will return to an Ishambard #VGMWednesday in due time.

    Today's game is one I have vague memories of, mostly of seeing it at a friend's. He had a chipped PS1, and had a bunch of pretty obscure PS1 games. Ones that stuck in my mind were Legend of Legaia and Soul Blade.

    Soul Blade being the first game in the Soul Calibur series. Called Soul Edge in Japan but Soul Blade internationally due to avoid on-going shenanigans relating EDGE games and their attempts to trademark anything with edge in the name. At least, that is my understanding...

    What i wasn't aware of though, was that Soul Edge had a vocal opening theme 『The Edge of Soul』

    There is something about this opening that I love, perhaps it is the opening narration.

  7. Can't believe I managed to play a #SoulCalibur match online but still can't find anyone for #SamSho

    The tragedy of this game, man

  8. I always found the stereotype of the dad who watches <sport> and drinks beer as a regular routine pastime a bit curious. But as I move closer and closer to my 40s, my reaction to finding out this week's WNF VOD got uploaded was to head to the supermarket and grab the appropriate snacks.

    Time to cheer for some good old agA action!

  9. 2024 gaming backlog, no. 17 - Soul Blade (PS1)

    A surprisingly technical fighter - I expected the first in the Soul Calibur series to be a bit jankier! Slower combat than I like and dodgy voices, but an impressive set of modes and a really fun core combat system!

  10. So I made one of those Gameplay vs lore videos but for Soulcalibur's lizardman (Please put him back in 7 namco I'm BEGGING YOU):

  12. Victor’s #GOTY
    10: #SoulCalibur6
    Soul Calibur 6 was my best 0-to-fun game this year. The core horizontal/vertical/kick tool box made the game immediately accessible even after years away. Each character brings their own unique variation on those themes and learning them is a ton of fun. I’ve been playing Cassandra, and her animations are a joy—enthusiastic and improvisational without losing any of their ferocity.

  13. Continuing to level up in Soul Calibur VI! Played a bit between lunch break on Deck and a little bit before bed on Desktop. I find that if I keep getting pummeled into the ground that it's a good indicator to get some shut eye.

  14. CW: Direct Eye Contact From Soul Calibur Character

    I forgot how fun the character creation in SoulCalibur VI is! My old save evaporated and I was forced to begin from scratch, but I still had fun in the process.

  15. Как отличить хороший файтинг от плохого? Очень просто! В плохой файтинг неинтересно играть.




    Надо, правда, оговориться, что у каждого свои критерии "хорошего" и "плохого", но, в целом, дело обстоит так. Чем универсальнее игра и ниже "порог входа" - тем большему количеству людей игра зайдет.

    Пару лет назад вышел Dead or Alive 5 Last Round на PC. Я был этому очень рад, потому что на консолях этот файтинг я давно опробовал и нашел лучшим, что выходило в этом жанре за долгие годы.

    Даже непомерно конский ценник (ограниченная демка бесплатна в #steam, а сама игра разбита на различные DLC, суммарная стоимость которых превышает 24 тысячи рублей) не испортил радости.

    И я поясню свое ликование.

    У каждого успешного представителя жанра есть своя ниша. Есть масштабное рубилово, типа #SuperSmashBros. Есть красивый "подними противника в воздух и дубась комбами до потери пульса" файтинг - #Tekken. Есть "слови противника на ошибке и примени максимальное число суперударов" файтинг - #MortalKombat. Отдельно есть еще файтинги с оружием (#SoulCalibur), боксы и спортивные дисциплины (различные файтинги от EA) и, использующий механику бокса, файтинг #StreetFighter.

    Кроме того, есть #VirtuaFighter, почти забытый ныне, но вполне серьезный файтинг, основанный на богатых возможностях "перехвата инициативы". От нажатой комбинации клавиш и стрелок на геймпаде зависит, в какой области тела своего персонажа он хочет перехватить удар противника, а после перехвата - игрок должен грамотно и неожиданно контратаковать. Что-то похожее на старую браузерную игрушку "Бойцовский клуб", только гораздо резвее.




    Вот Dead or Alive взяла концепцию VF и постаралась ее упростить, не теряя сути. Плюс, в серьезный файтинг добавили красивую графику, многоуровневые арены и красивые модели бойцов. Девушек.

    Серия растянулась уже на шесть выпусков, но шестую я еще не пробовал. А вот пятая - самое то, если нужно именно технично драться. Не набивать комбы по висящей в воздухе тушке, не лупить по всем клавишам сразу, а стараться технично отработать конкретную ситуацию. А потом еще. И еще.

    Управление очень мягкое, отзывчивое и понятное. Быстро доходишь до того, что каждая кнопка отвечает за конечность у персонажа, а от нажатой клавиши управления зависит прием, который персонаж сделает. А потом начинаешь экспериментировать.

    Графика - шикарная. Яркие красивые персонажи с рифлеными формами (гусары, молчать!), красивые арены с кучей деталей на заднем плане.

    Вобщем, рекомендую.
