Are you ready to claim the soul swords?

Soulcalibur 4 will feature an all-new Critical Finisher system. The Soul Gauge will fill up when attacking and decrease when guarding. When the meter is empty, the opponent can do a strike that breaks off a part from the character's armor, altering their appearance and making them weaker for the remainder of the match.

If the character manages to empty out the opponent's Soul Gauge again, they will get a short chance to perform a powerful Critical Finisher, which will kill the opponent instantly. Each character has their own personal Critical Finisher.(read more)

Very attractive Ivy, and she knows how to play the part! Kudos to both her for doing it and to the photography for having captured the essence of anime so well!

Cassandra's is sexy. Nightmare's is disappointing. Rafaele's is, how can I say... confusing. Voldo's is just painful.

Soul Calibur 4 Critical Finish Moves 

With the new Soul Clibur game coming out soon, there is a nice treat for you here. With the new critical finishes added into the game, they are on par with some brutal Mortal Kombat style fatalities.

How do you do critical finish on soul calibur 4?
Have you been playing soul calibur 4, but can't seem to pull off any critical finishers? Then check this out.

Poll: Guest Characters 

Yes, we know what you're thinking. You are thinking "What the hell are Darth Vader and Yoda doing in my Soul Calibur sequel?" But how are these two any less logical (or illogical) than Link or Spawn? We also suspect that Namco Bandai still has plenty of stuff up their sleeve and wouldn't be one bit surprised to learn that additional Star Wars characters are in the pipe as downloadable content.

Still the best modern fighting series I have played 

I have always been a fan of Namco-Bandai. They know how to release games that appeal to me. From Xenosaga, Baten Katos, Eternal Sonata, to Tekken, and finally all the way to the Soul Calibur series. They have a way of making even the characters in a fighting game very endearing.

Soul Calibur vs. Tekken 

I personally prefer the SC games. Tekken in my mind is far too wooden. None of the characters have a smooth flow when in combat (athough the bowling is awesome).

Which series do you prefer and why?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Tekken

crazy-stoner-dude ';..;' says:

TEKKEN Biatches!!! I love the soul caliber games, but so much work has enn put ito the tekken fighting system, any of the moves that arent obviously superhuman are probably almost all done in a mokap suit, many of these styles are incredibly real, and ive studied some of them so yes they are done well (as well as you can put a fistfight for your life onto a 360 controller). So while soul caliber is fun the actual fighting in tekken feels more like ...well, actual fighting

The Joker says:

I prefer Tekken because tekken is the best fighting game ever. Tekken have better characters.

BioBoosterGuyver says:

If Tekken 6 has more characters I think it would have to be that.
SC4 for PS3 is good but I agree with midnight not being able to
use S class is pants. Also the game play can be cheated by continuous moves making it impossible to win/lose. I have no doubt Tekken will be better. SC4 for PS3 7/10

Midnight says:

You're all insane! Tekken is infinitely better than Soul Calibur, and that's saying something because SC is pretty amazing. Tekken has a MUCH better Storyline, what are you talking about!? As for the character creation, SCIV's is AWFUL. You have to pick the ugliest, most dull gear in the game to get enough points to utilize any of the good abilities, so in essence they are totally limiting your creativity and personalization. I hate it! SCIII was way better, in that department. They even took away the custom styles! WORTHLESS! Yoda is also nightmarishly poor, and he should be sensational. You can't even get the cool S class abilities the horrendously overpowered bosses in the Tower of Souls utilize, which is trash.... You just wait. Tekken 6 is going to be Godlike. I'll be seeing you all online, and making your lives hell. ;]

ham says:

sc is very good but tekken is the best

Soul Calibur

benni says:

SC of course it is a lot more fun to play- besides online- then tekken cause its much smoother and more dynamic and stuff. in every sc game comes somtehing cool new - tekkens alway the same its far overated in my opinion

Fudge Cakes Taste Nice says:

why dont you put halo 3 people in that would be awesome because youll have a gun and fully own them!!!!!!!!!!! SoulCaliberIV Rules

Soul Caliber Fan says:

soul caliber is the best fighting arcade game ever tekken is just shit and has crappy characters anyone that buys the game must have been forced to buy it and raped a little bit to be made to buy the game take it back not worth the money get soul caliber at least you'll have some real fun on a game

cervantes de leon says:

soul calibur is the best fighting game ever & my best character is --cervantes-- , --yoshimitsu-- & --maxi--

chaos says:

soul calibur to the max tekken is realy not all that good so ill have to disagree with midnight

Sheena says:

Soul Calibur every time Tekken just feels slow and irritating after playing SC

nelson says:

SC seems to be more real to me. What I like about taken is the endings they are more fun to watch.

    Soul Calibur is the superior game by far. Tekken relies on memorizing juggles and abusing the same move over and over again via anti wake-up(Yes that means you, Lili noobs) Aerial control and Ukemi in SC means that you cant rely on juggles and floor hits, so it becomes alot more tactical and demanding on the player. I play tekken every now and again if I want to fight a mindless, easy fight, but Soul Calibur for me is by far the better game.

    tekken 6 cool coz it has long jugles and more tactical moves and SC doesnt have long jugles and SC has special attacks that makes the game a bit corny, and yeah Tekken is more creative that SC in terms of costume!!! TEKKEN 6 IS THE BEST!!
