CloseSeriously. Soul Calibur 4 is infuriatingly difficult. I mean I know it's a really technical and strategic kind of game, which I like... and I play fighting games more than anything, honestly. I just hate losing. Especially when it's hard to begin with... I mean seriously. GAH.
That's what I get for being an Amy player.

Amy is pretty strong. I don't know what the problem is.
It's Seong-Mina. I dunno what the problem is, but I always have a really hard time against her. =\ Is Amy just a bad character to use against her?
author=Ark link=topic=4056.msg82462#msg82462 date=1245812537It's called a discussion. Discuss. kthxbai<3
Maybe you should play a better character, not the lolita, spammer.

Similar to Kilik she is very strong against new players who are still learning defense. Pay attention to her combos and block/sidestep accordingly. Particularly when she goes for a vertical attack, Amy has some of the best sidestep counterattacks around. If you've found your opponent is a bit of a spammer, once you get close it should be easy mode since Amy can spam faster than anything Seung Mina can throw out.
I ment The Lolita-Spammer, if you want a simple yet highly effective character, go with one of the two twins, they are fast deal good damage, and you can combo with them fairly easily.

The thing is though, I'm not a new player. I just never defend. Like, ever. The best defense is a good offense! =D
Seriously though. I'm also good with Tira; she tends to work better for me against Seong-Mina.

Well, maybe you should work on your defense then. Tira is interesting but I could never get into her because I hate the random stance changes.
You need to learn how to defend, constant attacks get you killed quickl, which I'm sure you've noticed. Learn how to counter-guard if you truly want to take things to the next level.

Too risky online.

If you're playing as someone like Nightmare, then strategic defending is important. However, there are characters who require minimal defense because their styles themselves are so overwhelming - Kilik, for example. Although those types of characters tend to be awesome spammers, so yeah.
I enjoyed Soul Calibur 3 more, it's the character creation. I always liked Yun-seong. Although Siegfried is always the man.
3D fighters are kind of awful anyway. They lack the precision of pixel-perfect spacing and hitboxes. I am not sure why any serious fighting game fan would play one over Guilty Gear/StreetFighter/Etc 8)

I like this statement. I like it a lot. Tekken is some serious stuff, however!

It depends on your level of skill, really. You can say the same thing about parrying on SF: IIIrd Strike, but the highest level of playing requires you to reliably know how to parry. It's just something you have to learn.
I remember winning Soul Calibre 3 by mashing buttons until I beat down everyone. Wasn't much fun.
Fighting games are so 1993.

you played shitty players!
learning to block appropriately is like, lesson numero uno for soul calibur. if you can't learn that, you will suck massive dongs and lose alot. especially to button-mashers.
I always kinda considered fighting games to be like rock paper scizzors because there are 3 types of moves (block,attack,throw counter is with block) and you have to use the right one to cancel the enemys move. Yeah I guess what I am trying to say is that you not blocking is a terrible idea.
On a side note anyone else looking at the new fighting mmorpg Dungeon Fighter Online? I played it in Japanese and it's pretty fun.
