You may have noticed I used a different profile for this playthrough, namely because, if anything went wrong when hex editing my save file I knew it would end up FUBAR. Which I actually did the first couple of times around. Needless to say, I know myself a little too well by this point in the archive.
It would have been badass, but that also would have required the developers putting in more effort, which they seemingly weren't prepared to do at the time.
That would have required effort, which Namco didn't really want to put much off into this game. I mean, to reiterate, they only included a story 25% of the length it was originally intended to be, which explains a hell of a lot, and didn't even bother to implement mechanics to allow you to unlock boss costumes. And then there's the fact that you have no less than three roulette characters, and it quickly becomes apparent that this game is like one of those pictures which gets stranger the longer you look at it.
I don't know what's going on with games, but I have been noticing a big push toward constant online connectivity for some games, but than never having alot of true single player content to back it up, and just ending feeling empty
Quite the interesting look Cervantes has here. If the design team was originally going for his Souledge/Inferno look from Soul Blade, they did a pretty good job. Still doesn't explain how he came back to life after Ivy killed him in the fourth game.
yes i get but it can be said that ivy killed cervantes and he appears here because is no longer part in history so if cervantes comes out in scvi that would be something they need to explain...but actually cervantes is somewhat immortal thanks to being a pawn of souledge
> _"Namco pulled this shit again with unplayable costumes in Tekken 7..."_ The recent update for Tekken 7 (a.k.a. The 1st Anniversary Update) did had some, take note, *SOME* previously unplayable costumes as now available customizations, namely, Jin's Treasure Battle outfit (the Desert/Vagabond outfit), Nina's black spy outfit from Story Mode, Kazuya's Third Eye from Story Mode, and Heihachi's ripped gi from Story Mode (though, he doesn't have the electricity aura nor the sunburnt skin). So yeah. Any other Story-related outfits like Steve and Jack remain unplayable and the best way to use them is by mods. And speaking of mods, just for the hell of it, there's a mod for Yoshimitsu in Tekken 7 that has him sorta looking like Inferno, specifically his SCV appearance: www.deviantart.com/natsu-ken/art/TEKKEN-7-Inferno-723427707 ua-cam.com/video/8wrvNqPuR1Q/v-deo.html
Most fighting games have unplayables in it , mostly Bosses, and I absolutely HATE it , it is the worst type of tease , you have a cool looking and Powerful Character wich you fight against but can never use, you don't own him , so you can only wonder how it feels to play him. Tekken 7 is despicable, devil Kazumi AND devil Kazuya are unplayable , locked costumes, locked Stages ( infinite Azure at Night which is gorgeous) and a horrible arcade.. And to say boss characters are owerpowered ? That's especially a reason why I want to use them ,just for the damn fun! Look at soul calibur 6, you can use inferno offline , so the competitive scene and the offline players are happy There is no more excuses for this
When was the last time we received bosses as playable? (Aside from SCVI) Only thing that comes to mind is Unknown in Tag2 It's infuriating seeing characters like those, big bosses like Azazel or Apocalypse and those of the like are understandable, but man I hate not having Devil playable
I tend to get all the whining associated with a game out in the first two or three videos. After that, well, I just try to judge the individual characters based on their merits, and occasionally additional design choices such as the unplayable costumes.
So uh..would you know if there's a real reason why they did this? 😑 I know why the game is lacking but this is just soul torturing, can't even use my favorite form of Soul Edge when it's right there.
i love the complaining, because that's how i feel towards scamco...people who are happy with this crap are the same people who never played the previous games, so its "ok" for them to be scammed like this
Legitimately? Nope, unfortunately. You have to edit your save file (literally extracting it onto a computer and then messing around with it with a hex editor) in order to access this stuff, annoyingly.

it would be awesome if Inferno(Cervantes) voice would be at least distorted...
It would have been badass, but that also would have required the developers putting in more effort, which they seemingly weren't prepared to do at the time.
Fuck.....does he look badass! Especially that sword spinning win pose, just wish they made his voice more demonic given the costume

sc v is not canon anymore
WingedAngelSephiroth Oh, thank goodness. But I was talking about how Ivy killed Cervantes in Soulcalibur IV, not Soulcalibur V.

Wow, they actually decided to add them. And it only took them a wholy entire year. By this rate, we'll have DLC Pack 2 by 2025. So efficient.

Exactly how I feel summed up completely in the description..great. well, less whining/complaining than I would add but still.

Eh.
Hardly.
SCIII will always be my favorite, Hopefully VI will make up for IV and V.
Only thing I'll miss from V are a handful of characters.
Isn’t it just his SCIV 2P outfit on fire with Soul Edge from Soul Blade?
It is, but it still looks pretty damn badass, as do the other two SCIV costumes used for the bosses.
AdmiralMcFish - Bosses and Hidden Characters IIRC, Inferno was in the arcade version of Soulcalibur III.
So there is no way for me to get this cool retro custom??
P.S Sorry for the very late comment

So you date defy ME!!?
Pls do with Devil Jin
he will. Devil Jin will most likely be one of the last characters covered since he is a "bonus" character.
Correct. He's a guest (sort-of), so I'll be covering him pretty much last.
