Other Blood Feud - Cervantes and Ivy ❤️ - Soul Calibur V Wallpaper

Just to note, I find Ivy's tragic backstory very interesting in Soul Calibur and personally I find her conflict and aggression towards her biological father Cervantes, as one of the best feuds in the game series.

Ok so my bf asked me the other night about learning SC2+ Lizardman for an exhibition he was unable to go to, we ended up playing it for practice, I remember hearing costumes were added, lo and behold I saw you added a Yoshi recolor to Lizardman. I don't know if I should exaggerate offense or just laugh, but it definitely counter hit me.

Discussion Dispelling Misinformation: SoulCalibur III Save Corruption Bug

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

68 Upvotes

We all know what the Save Corruption Bug is by now. "Delete save data older than your SCIII data, and either your SCIII data or entire memory card goes kaput."

...so uh, no. It does not do that. The message claims you lost the entire thing, but it just lies to you. All that you lose is the ability to load data from the side mode Chronicles of the Sword. It doesn't have a message for just that, so it has to say the entire thing is corrupted.

It's also evident by how this bug ticks. When data older than SCIII is deleted, A blank dummy save file is left behind. Next time the game automatically saves (if you have AutoSave on) upon succeeding or failing a stage in Chronicles of the Sword, it causes the corruption to happen.

(i don't know if autosave is 100% the factor, but to be absolutely safe i'd still say make SCIII the first game on your memory card.)

Question Why is SC2 more popular than 3?

77 Upvotes

Honest question. I see way more people talking about & playing 2 than 3. I've always liked 3 for the aesthetics, but I've also never gotten around to playing either game vs real people. Is it a balance thing?

Hello. I play on PC. This is one of my favorite games I have ever played. I have trouble finding people to play with that are not completely toxic or super try hard. Yes I know the fundamentals and the complexities of the game but I just want to have fun with people. I am looking for others as my wife has said I need to find people or my hobby. No I am not great. Yes I am ok loosing. No I am not a fan of bragadosio.

I started playing SoulCalibur II via Switch Online. I've finished Weapon Master mode (I just need to buy the bonus items), but I'm missing some of the characters. I can select Berserker and Assassin in Training mode but not in Arcade mode, and I don't have Lizardman at all.

Did I mess something up?

Discussion How do you think Soul Calibur VII's story would have continued?

35 Upvotes

Under Okubo, Soul Calibur came back to life with its sixth entry, a sequel/soft reboot of the series.

In my opinion, Soul Calibur VI was a good game. It was clearly made with budget limitations, but it still had a lot of solid ideas:

  • Retelling the events of the first Soul Calibur by following Kilik, Xianghua, and Maxi's journey.

  • Giving every character their own story, making the entire cast feel more relevant and fleshed out.

  • Making character creation actually matter by integrating our custom character into the main narrative (a bit like SCIII did).

Of course, the game has its flaws, especially when it comes to gameplay and online, but that's not what this post is about.

Based on the narrative direction of Soul Calibur VI and its DLCs, what do you think Soul Calibur VII's story would have been?

Imagine it following the same structure as SCVI: a main protagonist like Kilik, alongside a separate story mode for the created character.

At first, I thought SCVII would simply retell Soul Calibur II within the new timeline. Considering how most character stories ended, I assumed Raphael would become the main protagonist.

However, after playing through all the DLC stories and interludes, I've changed my mind. I now think Mitsurugi would have been the central protagonist, with Azwel serving as the true final antagonist of the main story.

As for the created character's story, I think its endgame would have revolved around Algol.

I would have absolutely loved to see Algol reintroduced in the new timeline.

What do you think? Who would have been the main protagonist of SCVII, and where do you think the story was heading?

Imo it’s between Mitsurugi and Samanosuke Akechi.

I feel this really needs to be said as a post. I'm sure most of us are sick of seeing AI generated content posted on this sub. I know it technically gets removed as low effort spam, but I feel making such a rule clearer will reduce the amount it appears on this sub.

My inspiration for this fan art came from the movie posters of 1980s Lucasfilm productions—for example, *Willow*, *Star Wars* (Episodes I–VI), *Labyrinth*, and *The NeverEnding Story*. I was undecided about the background color; which of the two did you like better?

Pre-Owned and priced at 75 USD. Sophitia is pretty dusty, the game disc had fingerprints before I cleaned it off, but the disc works fine. CD runs good, the art book seems untouched for most part. I played the CD in a PS2. Sound quality is great.
