To you seasoned SC vets.I've never played a SC game before, and this game look pretty interesting. I'm thinking about buying it.
Are there any other fighting games that this game is like? So that I have a point of reference.
I would have to say no, there aren't.
I've never really liked any other fighting games besides Smash Bros and Calibur, Smash Bros because it's just so fun, and Calibur because of the movement system. When trying other games like Dead or Alive I barely manage to play a few rounds before I start to really hate the controls and find better things to do, like staring at a wall.
It's the whole 8-way-run system I really like in this game, no double tapping a direction to get your character to go there, which all other fighters seem to act like (don't remember Tekken tho)
I dont usually play these sort of games but i got a PS3 recently, grabbed soul caliber 4 and am loving it, not played it too much, completed storyline modes of a few characters like Nightmare and Darth vader, enjoying it so far.
Fave character is Nightmare, he has fairly nice damage, ive got him in some customised equipment, but even the original can dish out some damage, has a long reach imo and doesnt sacrfiice much speed for it, i like the one where he takes a stance, hits them in the air, then impales them when they land on the floor and electrocutes them, but most of his attacks imo are entertaining.

The thing about Siegfried and Nightmare is that they're okay for button mashers, superb for people who learn their combos. And since pretty much every basic attack can be turned into at least a 3-hit combo...Also, learn Siegfried's form changes and their related moves and he'll become ten times better.
Also, Mitsurugi has always been overpowered, even in the original Soul Edge/Calibur/Blade. His flaw is that all his good attacks are vertical and linear. He tends to fail against sidesteps.
I mean you look at those guys wit the giant blades and you expect to be able to do 2-4 power moves and win (playin too much SCI and II).
But I never knew that "Siegfried's form changes" did any thing, I just thought they were for "flash". Gotta try'em next time I go to my friend's house.
Sieg and Nightmare got beefed up alot in SC4, and they are far from being button mashers, I tell you this, they are very solid in SC4 compared to their SC3 counterparts.
Also, for me, being a Mitsu player, he has always been strong/very solid, but never overpowered, probably the closest that came to overpowered was SC2 Mitsu and even he wasn't #1 in SC2, however his KB2 was +6 Frame Advantage on block...which made it umm...insane!
If you want overpowered in SC, then that title belongs to Xianghua, she was ALWAYS Top-Tier in every SC game that she has appeared in, not to mention, she was always in the Top 3, and usually #1 at that. SC1, She was Top, SC2 she was Top, SC3 she was Top, basically making her the Jin Kazama of SC.
Very fast attacks, but most importantly, she was very safe off them, in a game where punishing opponents off of whiffs, and what not was a huge priority, her safeness benefited her greatly. She was also one of the few characters with a very good low, not to mention, she the most powerful 8-Way Running game in SC. This made X consistently good and beast in every situation, the fact that she didn't have to change her gameplay much from fighting other opponents is what makes her so good.
However, just like what happened to Jin in Tekken 5, here in SC4, Xianghua got nerfed quite a bit, so her reign as Top-Tier pretty much stops here.
However, Mitsu in SC4 although toned down from his other versions, he is still very strong in here, definitely a contender for being ranked in Top Tier at this very moment (obviously it can change) however, his 2KB is very strong, still has solid mids, but his 2k isn't as good anymore.
Sophie and Cass or should I say, the Sisters in SC4 look to be strong again, and yes, they look Top-Tier potential once more. So far, SC4 doesn't look too bad, we'll see if it can last longer then SC3 did at the tournament lvl, considering that game died in not a year, but just months.

I'm sorry to tell you this... but more likely then not, 90% of the people on this forum have no idea what you're talking about. 😂
And Xianghua is ultimate button-mash character. Almost all of her moves cancel into low attacks...
