hello i am new here i just got sc4 yesterday nice game so far

im a newb....would anyone like to play online with me and show me the ropes?

who is a good beginner character?

also why is there no strategy boards for bonus characters like scherezarde and shura and angol fear etc

Welcome! Spend some time here, get some offline matches (like I'm the one to talk >>) most importantly.

To answer your question, it's because the bonus chara's are all just copies of the core cast. (Shura = Cervantes, Angol Fear = Seong Mina, etc). Picking a beginning character probably deserves its own thread because anytime someone asks that question in a forum, I see it balloon like crazy :P IMO, follow your heart. Play through the game with everyone first.

Hi, I've been casually playing Soul Calibur since... Soul Edge, I guess. Now that it's online, I'm hoping to get more serious about playing.

Not new to the game, but new to the forums. It has always been hard pressed to find people in my area that like this game, other than 3s and mvc2, which boringly sums up most of the interests in players from where I'm from.

Hello everyone.

I was in CaliburForums, but more of a lurker than anything. I'm trying to get more and more into SC. Been playing on and off since SC2, but much more now that 4 is out.

I'm from Los Angeles and looking forward to hopefully playing with more people than just my brother and online.

Hey all.

I am not new to the community, but I'm new to this specific site. I'm so glad to see this new site up. I'm sure that everyone involved in the development of this site is doing all they can to facilitate our (players) needs in having a new home. Glad I don't have to go to caliburforums anymore! So, hi to everyone and "welcome" to all the SC newcomers. ^_^

What's up everyone, I'm new the SC community website but I been playing the games since soul blade. I know I'm good just need to find out if I'm great. With SCIV online I finally get to play people from farther away than just my state. Play wit Maxi but I'm working on Hilde and Seing-Mina. Hit me up online.

What's up everyone, I'm new to the 8wayrun but I been playing the games since soul blade. Ready to meet the comp so hit me up. I play wit Maxi, but I'm working on Hilde and Seing-Mina.

Obviously new to the forum...

I'm also new to SC in general. I've been a longtime admirer but never got my hands dirty until I attended EVO2k8. You can say that I was bitten by some SC bug after playing a few high leveled players. I guess even through my amatuer state I was able to put up a good fight, and that's probably what's fueling me to join the forums and get better.

Anyway... Can't wait ;)

Hey, new to the forum. Came around here via a link in a discussion about SC IV, which I bought out of interest in the Soul Calibur series. I'm one of those people who used to always play if someone had a copy lying around but never really got into it, so this is the first copy of SC I've ever actually owned. I'm the best out of my circle of friends but I'm still very very very far down on the newbie ladder, and I'm hoping to get tips and learn from observation so I can get better at the game.

should be fun.

Oh hey you joined.

Casual player here, looking to get into the competitive scene. Used to be a major lurker back when CF was still called SoulCalibur dot com. Decided to participate with information this time around and currently main Setsuka. Most of my SC time is dedicated to her and finding out more information. ;D

Welcome to Shade_buster, mudah, Rokrin, camicami, savonPoe, Kaotical, lostthought, B_J, and Maxson.

It's good to see the community growing so much in so little time. Please feel free to contribute to the ongoing discussions and maybe even start some of your own. And most all, look in the matchfinder areas and see if there's anybody near you that you can play with. Internet matches are all well and good, but nothing beats playing somebody in person.

Hey fellas, I'm new to Soul Calibur though I've played Tekken since Tekken 1. I don't really have the skills to be considered competitive but I am enjoying my time with the game.

Online is really the only means I have of playing anybody right now but finding a good match is a toss-up more often than not. If there's anyone around the Mid-Atlantic who just wants to get some casual games on and shoot the shit feel free to contact me on PSN.

Howdy, Howdy all. I am a transfer from caliburforum.com been playin SC since 2, not competitively though. I hope to change that with 4.

Anywho, something that I have found greatly useful and a turning point in my game has been reading Playing to Win. Great book.

Sup. Was a member of Caliburforum for all of about last week.

Formerly a Tekken Player, still a VF player, Looking to be a Street Fighter player. Hell, if it has fighting between two characters I'll probably play it. Hell, I played Marvel Nemesis for awhile.

Hi there !

Casual player, 30 years old :(, from Cannes, France, I'm looking forward to improve my game. I am not decided on which caracter I am going to main, we'll see :)

If there is other players from south of France, let me know !

See you !

I'm crazy, but not insane.

Wait, I am not crazy or insane!!!!

I'm the deadly samuri around!!!!!

Fear CrazyYoshimitsu bitches!!!!!

Cause he the one to be fear.

I hope you love the badass into. Anyway, I'm a huge SC fan and Sc 2 was my first SC game. And I just started to fall in love with the series after that. When SC 3 came around it left a bad taste in my mouth. I was so pump for it, but it fail hard to as much fun Sc2 was :(. Anway, I use Talim, Yoshi, and Algol. And Algol is my main, yoshi is my back up, and Talim is the big susprise. I have a great team, and it will own yours hahahahahahahaha. So, anyway I have the game fo both system so look to the left if you wanna fight me on either. BTW to PS3 user I'm still getting use the Ps3 controller for SC 4, cause I got the 360 before I got the PS3 version. I'm going to enjoy my stay on this site for a long time.

Hey fellas, just signed up, hope to play with some of you.
