My characters don't have much exp. because I owned everyone with my main guy in all the other chronicles.

It's not my fault he goes first in all the encounters.

Hiya! :D :O :lol: Meow! (='.'=)

You are in a tough position then. :indiff: Usually I would keep on trying take down his health as much as possible with the weaker characters before sending in your most powerful person. You should keep on trying until you beat him or maybe use a cheating device? :odd:
 
Omnis
I believe the last chronicle is impossible.

It's just....****ing impossible.
Oh yes. Him....
Normally I'd try and get him knocked out the ring. But the bleeder won't drop! No matter what I do. Git. :grumpy:
Even with 5 characters reasonably high (between 40 and 50 I guess) it's still a pain though I've only tried 5 times. He gets so much health back when he connects because of his Soul Sdge weapon. It would'nt be so bad if it slowly drained his health. But oh no..not that easy.

Have you beaten the blighter, McLaren's Angel?
 
Is it just me or even on Easy this game is still extremely hard in tales of soul? They block every combo I start and I can't beat tales of soul with any other character than Siegfried and Astaroth. Any tips on what to do? I could beat everyone on SCII with some relative ease but I can't even fight Abyss on this one.

I don't know what you mean by the blighter. :odd: Can you remind me of what that is? :odd:
Sorry, British slang! Definition
I meant the final boss in Chronicles of the Sword. I have yet to beat him and I wondered if you had. If so can I send my memory card over so you can beat him for me?! :D
Seriously, I guess I'll do it eventually. But at the moment I'm into "Resi 4". SCIII will have to wait.

The difficulty option does'nt change for Tales of Souls, only the arcade-like free play. And yes, ToS can be rock hard in places. This game is aimed at the SC hardcore. Tekken 5, which I thought was tough, is a piece of cake compared to SCIII!
 
I find that if you can unlock Sophitia, she's great in it.

Also, I find it's often easier to do a throw, run to the opponent and do another as they are getting up. Continue as appropriate. If they keep blocking your throws, try the other throw (I mean, for instance instead of A+G, try B+G).

Unfortunately the AI does it to you too! Equipping the right kind of weapon helps. Sometimes extra damage is good or maybe health regeneration is best.

P.S. Like the Kate Bush quote!

I have beaten the final boss in Cronicles of the Sword on my third try. 👍 At first I was stunned by how he just kick my butt, but got a good idea of how to beat him. I just simply keep on throwing slashes and slices at him while blocking/evading some of his moves. I didn't beat him until my 4th person stepped up and took te last ~1/8 of his health away for the victory! 👍:crazy::
 
I beat him. He was way easy, once I figured him out.

Make all of your soldiers Infantry, and your two highest HP soldiers Knights. Always attack the Grandall knights with your own knights, and just get your infantry to follow suit in the attack.

Once you get to the final boss, just assault him. If he manages to devastate you in any way, he regains health. A lot. Just kind of rush him down, but watch your blocking as well. You'll eventually win, even if you do lose a few guys in the process.
 
I'm getting really good at this now!
It's more challenging than SC2 definately.

On the bottom row of the character select screen I have Cervantes, Sophitia, Lizardman, Rock and Yoshimitsu. But the pattern is wrong, should there be more?

Rock is in SCIII? That's reason enough to buy it right there. For me anyway. Man, decisions, decisions.
 
yes. Rock is pretty cool. I wish there was a body type like Rock in CAC.

Mr. Deap, your Xianghua vid is pretty cool, though, you still got owned. Hahaha. Is that during the penultimate battle in the Soul Arena? What difficulty is it?

I should upload my video against Abyss with my Ninja. Use yousendit.com, though. putfile blows.

Yep, but there's no SoulBlade-esque bears head helmet to be seen, just a weird goat helment and an elephants head.:odd:

I think the game seems to be getting easier.

Or maybe I'm getting better...

It's in Soul Arena "Quick Play". Though the setting is in extremly hard, but I got owned so easily in the second round...

Edited:
Also I got a video of Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution

Though I still got owned, lol!

Too bad...:(

But Rock is Rock. My favorite character. Even though I'm quite aware that he's NOT a top tier character.
 
I made a new Video: Soul Calibur Xianghua fight part II

Also I wanted to share this. I really like the lighning effect of the game. I'm sorry for a very late post, but I don't spend as much time playing as before. :)

You beat up my darling Sophitia?

Oh you gon' get it boi!

Hiya! :D :O :lol: Meow! (='.'=)

Nice Mr. Deap! :O 👍 Only if I can post some of my vids too. :crazy:

It's hard to find video's of SCIII. I wish there was people who could show how they play.(capture card isn't free 👎 )

Oh well, at least I share my stuff & can see comments of what they think of the way I play. In GameFAQS it look more like..."You suck!!" or "I will easily pwn the AI at your place". The most funny part is when they says that I should grab more when the AI in extremly hard evade 95% of them. :lol:

Though, you can see that I have fun with SCIII. :)
 
Is it possible to save replays?

I'd love to save my Astaroth pwning with Cassandra

You can't(Unless you do like me, but require $$$ & space on the PC). They should make that in the next Soul Calibur. I have plenty of VF4 save battles on my PS2 HDD.
 
Shame. :(

I did this really cool thing, but I don't know how I did it!

Astaroth was doing the basic move where he swings his axe sideways, and I got cassie to sort of lean backwards and avoid it.

It was awesome.
And also a Perfect against Abyss that I'd have like to keep.
 
Hiya! :D :O :lol: Meow! (='.'=)

There is a site that show people playing at tournaments, but unfortunately its not around anymore. :indiff:

The only videos around are SCII videos with fancy looking combos and music. Its really cool though. :O
