Im just wondering who is going to get it here, 10/18 is when it comes out i think... But i am looking forward to when it comes out, with the ability to create you own characters, i defenity will be wanting to get it now.

I prefer Tekken.
Soul calibur seems to have a tad too many people who can win with button bashing for my liking.

Only if you don't know how to handle n00bs, fatman. SCIII is pretty much at the top of my list of games I'm looking forward to this holiday season, and it is very likely that I will be playing a lot of it next winter/spring to get my fighting game fix.

I think a more appropriate question would be "Who here ISN'T going to get Soul Caliber III," because come on, SC is frickin' AWESOME.

In other words, yes I'm getting it.

I've always had a slight interest in Soul Calibur. I've never played it and I've wanted to find out if it was any good, or if its just a button masher like Dead Or Alive.

I've looked at it some and the custom character creation in SC3 seems pretty impressive. I think I'm going to get the game because of my curiosity and the custom character feature. I'm not expecting it to be as good as Guilty Gear, but if the fighting aspect of it doesn't turn out to be very good at least I'll be able to make a hot chick and play dress up.

I won't be getting it, Spiffyness. Hell, I didn't even know the series was past 2 already. Call me backward, but I'm still into Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike and that's about it as far as fighting games go. I actually used to love playing fighting games back in the day, but I guess me taste in video games changed when I started playing RPGs and stradegy games.

I'm so with you on this.

I still like classic compared to new-school.

:3

Street Fighter [any of them], Dark Stalkers [any of them] and the Marvel VS. Capcom [1 and 2] are such amazing games that you really just can't compare.

You lose yourself
And I fall in love with you once again

I'll probably get it, though most likely not for a while after it's released. There're a few other games I've had my eye on that're higher up on my want list.

Not putting down the Soul Calibur games or anything; besides Tekken, SC's my favorite new-school fighting series. Though I do have to agree - I haven't been much of a fan of the genre since the 2D days (Mortal Kombat II & Street Fighter II )

I really don't like fighting games much at all, except for Soul Calibur and Street Fighter. Anything else... nah.

Just Guard Impact them that usually works. I will be getting the game and when I do I'll see you in the spring.

For the record, Street Fighter 3: Third Strike is the best fighting game ever made by anyone.

That being said, Soul Calibur 3 looks interesting. I didn't like Soul Calibur 2, but Soul Calibur remains one of my favorite 3D fighters. Hopefully in SC3 they'll fix the mistakes they made (no Hwang, abuseable stepping) while keeping the improvements (streamlined controls). The new character designs seem interesting, as well, though I imagine they'll either be totally weak or ridiculously overpowered in true Namco form. As an addendum, here's hoping for a nerfed Cervy.

Everybody is getting excited about the character creation, but I can't really see how they can implement it effectively. Either the character maker will only produce substandard fare, so as to maintain game balance, or else someone with a lot of time on his hands will develop the perfect combination of moves and stats to dominate all of the regular roster. Neither is a very appealing possibility, and there isn't much middle ground. Personally, I'd prefer it if they keep the character making as a side gimmick, and leave the competitive play in the hands of the original fighters.

I always love a good fighting game
but i also never judge a book by it's cover
I always like to rent the game before i buy it

The one time i ignored this rule was with Fable
and you all remember fable

so definately going to wait till i can rent it
if i like it I'll buy it
