Well it’s been almost a week since Soul Caliber 4 was released last Tuesday. So what do I think of it you ask? Well, lets see, the story mode for each character is short and for the most part tastefully sweet. There are a few corny endings, or endings that made me just think “Really? That just happened?”  After Ronin and I went through almost every character and beating the story mode to unlock all of their weapons, we began editing characters. The game has a decent amount of items to pick from for customization, and has the game goes on, you unlock more things, to make the goodness even better!

So now we began working on the tower, trying to accend at first, then seeing how far we could go decending.  Once you reach floor 5 on your decent, if you don’t laugh, well something is wrong with you.

Here is my one issue I am currently having with Soul Caliber 4. The online experience. When you select one, you see Quick Match, Custimized, Create Match.

So I click quick match, and after about 10-15 seconds, it says matching…. matching…. Game Full.  Then kicks me out to the 3 selections again. And sadly, this was not a one time message I received. Hopefully BandaiNamco fixes this issue quickly, or I could see people not playing as much online. Oh, and my second match was me, rank 1 versus someone rank 32.

As I said, the character customization is pretty neat and plentiful. I ran into a Michelangelo (Ninja Turtle), The Incredible Hulk, and then I made Sailor Moon. I was messing with the hairs and saw one that reminded me of her, so I figure I should see if I could duplicate her.  And here is a crazy example found on Youtube, I present Obama Vs McCain.
