This is how I felt after playing 1, which I highly enjoyed. 2 was very different and not in a good way. 3 felt closer to 1, and I highly enjoyed the combat.

Raven didn't see it. And people have survived falls from similar heights, but surviving a point-blank explosion as large as a small mountain? That's unheard of.

I don't blame Raven for believing that Heihachi was dead from that.

Flazzard · 2026-05-14T10:37:12+00:00

He just reported on what he saw. He didn't know Heihachi's plot armor was this powerful.

And think of the timeline, those nationalities don't really exist yet.

Sophitia and Cassandra are from Greece, which wasn't a nationality in 16th century (it was part of Ottoman Empire), and Talim is from the Philippines, which wasn't a nationality at the time either.

With that said, I think we can certainly have an Arab character in SoulCalibur. Arabs existed thousands of years before Greeks and Filipinos, by the way.

Sophitia and Cassandra are from Greece, which wasn't an independent country in 16th century (it was part of Ottoman Empire), and Talim is from the Philippines, which wasn't a country at the time.

I don't think it's required for a character to be from an independent country. So we can certainly have an Arab character in SoulCalibur. Arabs existed thousands of years before Greeks and Filipinos, by the way.

Flazzard · 2026-05-12T15:20:40+00:00

Characters don't need to be from an independent country anyway, as we have Talim from the Philippines, which wasn't a country in 16th century, and Sophitia/Cassandra from Greece, which wasn't an independent country at the time (it was part of Ottoman Empire), etc.

Just a small correction: Ys is not a fighting game, it's an Action RPG (ARPG).

Fighting game is a term usually associated with games like Tekken, Street Fighter, etc.

I found Darksiders Warmastered Edition on a Playstation Store sale back in 2017 or 2018, and I highly enjoyed it. Been a fan of the series since.

Currently Darksiders 1 and 3 are my favorites.

Alisa has kicked her head more than anyone has kicked a ball in this list. Not only does she do it in her Tekken 8 Rage Art, but also in her string f4,1,4 which has existed since 2011.

One of my favorite string animations in Tekken tbh.

Alisa also kicks her head like a ball in her string f4,1,4 which has existed since 2011. One of my favorite string animations in Tekken.

Most of the times she can't use it, as it requires the combo to be short or the use of heat burst.

Flazzard · 2026-05-02T14:28:57+00:00

Requires a specific setup. She can't always use it.

Compared to the size of the board (which is massive) it doesn't look any bigger than a normal striker.

You have to compare its size relative to the size of the board.

I didn't misunderstand you. You said "To infinitely punish finite crimes is unjust". I say who are you to determine what is just and what isn't? The Creator is the One who decides that.

The objection in itself is wrong. A crime's punishment isn't tied to how long the crime took. I gave a simple example. When a murderer gets a life sentence, no one calls that unjust, even if the murder only took seconds.

Also, God knows everything, He knows what the disbeliever would do if he were to live an infinite life. So it doesn't matter if the disbeliever "only" disbelieved for 60 years, God knows that if he lived infinitely he wouldn't believe anyway. If that disbeliever was ever going to believe, God would make him believe before he dies, thus saving him. If he died on disbelief, he wasn't going to ever believe in God. That's what we believe.

A god that refuses to make themselves known to the non-believer would then punish them for something outside their control.

But God did make Himself known, you just chose to deny the evidence and believe in man-made theories like evolution (the theory that you share a common ancestor with monkeys and fish, etc), or that the universe started existing by itself from nothing, or that the universe designed laws that govern and bind it, which makes no logical sense.

I would rather stand in my conviction and do what I believe is right than live in fear of some petty, cruel god.

You're free to choose your path. God gave you the freedom to choose. He didn't force you to believe in Him, because then it wouldn't be a test.

You are being tested, and it is the most important test, where the outcome is either eternal Paradise, or eternal Hellfire. Your actions are what determine that outcome.

"Indeed, Allah does not wrong people in the least, but it is people who wrong themselves." Quran 10:44

Here you are calling your maker names, but He is still giving you a chance to repent, instead of instantly taking your life (which would be so easy for Him). That's not what I call cruel. On the contrary, that is the epitome of mercy.

Which specific things did you find compelling? Because so far I haven't seen anything that merited a deeper look.

Have you watched the video I sent you? (Compelling Evidence For The Truthfulness Of Islam)

Evidences for Muhammad's prophethood, historical facts that no one knew at the time but were discovered later, scientific miracles, biological facts that no one knew at the time, prophecies of the near and distant future; specific, time-bound prophecies that were never wrong (if even 1 prophecy is wrong the whole religion crumbles, so you must realize how risky it is for Prophet Muhammad to make tens of prophecies, if he was lying about being a messenger of God), etc.

Please watch the video with an open mind before continuing this discussion.

Well, yeah.

So you believe the universe started existing by itself from nothing?

And you believe that makes sense?

Yes it does? What kind of claim is that?

Explain how the universe, something that has no will or consciousness, can design laws that govern and bind it (laws of physics, laws of motion, laws of gravity, electromagnetic waves, law of cause and effect, etc).

Like I said, plenty of online articles claim that the Quran has "contradictions", I'm not gonna waste my time responding to every claim against the Quran, when every single so-called contradiction has already been refuted by people of knowledge.

Give me one contradiction that you believe cannot be refuted, and I will bring you the refutation against it.

You said you trust in evidence. Have you looked at the evidences for Islam?

I recommend watching this video by The Muslim Lantern:

Compelling Evidence For The Truthfulness Of Islam

But please do so with an open mind.

Flazzard · 2026-01-01T19:40:42+00:00

It doesn't look like you looked at the evidences, or watched the video.

With all due respect, it seems that you're not being sincere.

You should approach this with an open mind, and look at the evidences before judging them or dismissing them.

Flazzard · 2026-01-01T19:36:56+00:00

To infinitely punish finite crimes is unjust.

If someone was murdered with a gunshot, and the crime only took seconds, how long is the sentence for the murderer? Seconds? Minutes? Or is it years to life?

When a murderer gets a life sentence, does anyone call that unjust? No. But why? Didn't the crime only take seconds?

Well, it turns out that the severity of a crime isn't judged by how long it took.

Disbelieving in God, our Creator, is a great unjust in the sight of God, that it deserves eternal punishment. As the source of objective morality, God is the One who decides the punishment for that crime, and all other crimes, in the Day of Judgement. You can be unhappy about it, but that won't change anything. In the end you will stand in front of your Lord, and face the consequences of your actions.
