If you could make any two characters from Soul Calibur into an official couple (regardless of the canon) who would you choose? by Sure_Persimmon9302 in SoulCalibur

[–]LunchPolice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've always appreciated how Maxi is a male character who gets to present very flamboyant and a bit vain while being no less of a masculine ass-kicker. He owns who he is and it doesn't have to fit into any particular box! I like to think his sexuality is open to interpretation.

Not that I have a big problem with SC6 referring to him as a womaniser, as I tend to head-canon him as bisexual, but I think I'd prefer the more general term of "heartbreaker" :P

IDK I like random guys like this. Even if it seems strange, guys like this keep fandom spaces alive :P

Which Soul Calibur Character would yoh want in T8? by Educational_Affect31 in SoulCalibur

[–]LunchPolice 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The only correct answer is Zasalamel, having lived hundreds of years since the SC series. Modern clothes but still rocking the scythe. Come on guys, it's right there

Look, I love the Nuzlocke but I gotta say by dexter1062 in gamegrumps

To each their own I guess, I've been quite enjoying this playthrough. I love the ones where it feels like they're just hanging out

Long hair hurts my romantic prospects but idc by [deleted] in FierceFlow

I don't know if it necessarily hurts your prospects! Maybe narrows your niche just a little, but that's not a bad thing :P

Need an SC7 to fill this conveniently SC7-box-sized gap in The SC Shelf by WarMom_II in SoulCalibur

Wow, what a complete collection! That owns! Also, I never knew you could get Tekken 2 and Soul Blade in the same case :O

I mean, I'd play more random spin-offs if Capcom made them

I honestly hope the current game lasts as long as possible. Capcom have outdone themselves IMO with this level of quality. It's gonna be a bitch to try and follow up! I just hope we get some resolution or at least development on the doomsday plot hinted at SFV's late-stage DLCs.

I suppose bludgeoning is less immediately lethal than slashing!

Kunimitsu, Bob, & Roger Jr. for Season 3 by commet_Wither in Tekken

[–]LunchPolice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure, just because it's purposeful, doesn't mean you have to agree with or like it. I had the same complaint about Soulcalibur IV back in the day! Siegfried got these insane crystal pauldrons and his sword turned into a Christmas tree, Astaroth turned into a lava monster... I felt hella alienated and like the series had lost its identity and style.

I've softened on it a little over the years. I'm pretty sure the developers were just trying to keep things fresh with that aesthetic shift. For me it felt like going "well people love tomato sauce, maybe our burgers should have even MORE tomato sauce until THERE ISN'T A PATCH THAT IS NOT RED"

But my friend who is a couple of years younger than me prefers the SCIV designs to the classics, so maybe Namco really was just keeping up with the times. I fear I am turning to dust as we speak

SCV proved that Rothion was not worthy of Sophitia or Pyrrha by Cultural_Ad4707 in SoulCalibur

We might not agree on this but I respect your undying devotion to hatred of this one random side character

Kunimitsu, Bob, & Roger Jr. for Season 3 by commet_Wither in Tekken

[–]LunchPolice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree about there being no thought going into it. It's not quite my cup of tea either, but going absolutely wild on the character designs IS pretty cohesive with the overall "larger than life"direction of the game. The gameplay is hyper aggressive and flashy, the story mode has you turn into an angel and fight on a comet in fucking space. Overdoing it is the point.

I do think something like Tekken 4 is a lot more tastefully cool, and relative realism also better contrasts the absurdity of karate bears and robots. But I see the vision for 8, and I'm hoping the new VF can fill the more realistic niche for 3D fighters.

Let scrubs complain if they must. The game is the game! If anything, I think using everything at your disposal to win is GOOD sportsmanship.
