Soul Calibur 2 - Impressions

[DArtagnan]

Dayum, some bounce there!

Hey, I don't know if any of you play with Ivy, but I'm having trouble doing this one move, and I can't understand why. Basically, when she's in Spiral Tribute mode, i.e., spinning her whip over her head, and you press B (vertical attack) three times, she should stand and lash her whip circularly three times. Well, I can only get her to do it once. I try to do hit B again and again as quickly as possible, but haven't managed it. I dunno, I mean, in theory it's possible for her to do it up to five times, if you add in some directional inputs, but I can't even get the basic one right. It's too bad, because it's one of the cooler looking moves out there, that repeated whiplash, and it'd be a great addition to my repertoire. Any help would be welcome... perhaps I need to press B again at a very specific time, I don't know.

Otherwise my Ivy is becoming a force to contend with!

Is it just me, or did they make Seung Mina even sexier in SC2? Or, maybe it's just that she's a bit older (like Sophitia) ^_^. Katanasix was right though, they did kinda make her a Kilik clone. But it's all good.

Well, I dunno, Sophitia looks good for the most part, but somehow her face doesn't look as cute anymore. As for Seung Mina, can't disagree there!

Ah, I can't wait to go home on fall break and challenge my sibs! My little sis apparently has been playing the game a lot too. She loves it. She was telling me that she uses mostly Cassandra, but Xianghua sometimes too. And my brother's main team is Talim and Necrid, while mine if, of course, Raph and Ivy. I find it so fun that we all picked different charas, and how each person's fighting style can be so different. Once again, I'm amazed at how well Namco simulated the different styles of fighting, all based on blades and such.

I wish I had more time to play this game these days, but I suppose it makes it more worthwhile when I can. I need to get into playing the "Extra" modes more, now that I have acquired some weapons. Wind Blades for Talim, Halberd for Seung Mina and Soul Calibur (Evil) for Xianhua! ^_^ Only problem with the SC is it "requires alot of energy to weild." Meaning, if you're using it and you get hit your toast pretty fast. ;
