The thumbnail in a nutshell: Reality: Ivy throwing Voldo into an alchemy-made portal of sorts. What I see: Voldo preparing to attack Ivy while in mid-air :P
nightmare's CE was a complete let-down, i mean, just a supercharged sword slice, you can't expect to see that from a demon who can battle with someone like siegfried and has been the main villian since the very first game of the series
Nightmare was not the main antagonist since the first game. He barely appeared in the first game. The first game was titled "Soul Edge/Blade" and the main antagonist was Cervantes. Nightmare was an unlock able reskin of Siegfried which was labeled as Siegfried!!!"
Patroklos Alexander Even so for the remainder of the rest of the games it was always focused on Nightmare since he was the wielder of soul edge from Soulcal 2-4
MrChach1ng Inferno was the main antagonist of Soul Calibur, Nightmare was the antagonist of SC 2 until Raphael unwittingly poked soul edge's eye, and released Siegfried and SC from SE's grasp and SC separated Siegfried from SE. Then inferno took on siegfried's armor and became Nightmare, from SC 3-4, and in SCV Nightmare took the body of Graf Dumas, and Pyrrha became the new host after Zwei killed nightmare, or so it appears to be, and she takes soul edge. So really nightmare was only the real main antagonist from SC3 and 4. Because Siegfried was overtaken by SE in SC1-2 and Xianghua and Raphael fought Inferno, until Siegfried sealed SE, and the real nightmare was born.
I keep forgetting that SCV had stands.. I kinda think they should've left Kilik as he was because I personally liked him the way he was. I mean the new Kilik isn't too bad but the old one just had that one feeling about him.
It's not the fact that characters were removed, it is the fact that a lot of fan favorites and characters whom were still young were removed. WHile it was a 17 year gap, they gave a lot of young characters the boot without a reason as to why. Xiangua had a child (Lexia) so I understand taking her out of the game so it focused more on her daughter. But Talim and Seong Mi-na? Their fighting styles aren't even in the game anymore. Both of them would still be rather young even after 17 years.
I think it was because the Critical finishers weren't being used that often. They required very strict prerequisites to be met and not to mention the HP limit of your opponent had to be below 20% to actually use, making it kinda pointless to use when you can simply end them with a decent combo. I guess the Critical Edge was their solution to give flashy attacks to the player, but allowing them to use them whenever. I do agree though, I miss the flashyness of them.
Kilik isnt in the SCV story and he is lets say an extra char. His moves have passed on to Xiba (His apprentice). Now Kilik uses weapons randomly from all male players.
Thats the point. They are supposed to be replacements. And you can't say "Fan favorite" as every character has fans. And they only removed the copy cats and some they mixed in their styles with the originals like Kilik and Seong- Mina to make Xiba.
I think that's a counter move. When she's in her gloomy state, press O and X. If you are attacked at the small window of opportunity, then she'll deflect the attack and do that move.
i think the coolest one is Aeon's. no contest with that. most powerful goes to Nightmare (only if the enemy is standing completely still). weakest goes to Viola.
@sora8hearts Elysium is NOT THE SOUL (SPIRIT) OF SOPHITIA! ELYSIUM IS THE SOUL (SPIRIT) OF SOUL CALIBUR. MUCH LIKE INFERNO IS THE SOUL (SPIRIT) OF SOUL EDGE. It's not that hard to understand. Sophitia gave up her life (as revealed in the Japanese Artbook) to save her daughter. She removed the piece of Soul Edge she had near her heart, and embedded it into Pyrrha (as Pyrrha Omega's profile states). The shard Sophie took out to place into Pyrrha was near her heart which killed her.
Anyone ever notice how Ivy's costumes are so badass, like how they're based off of modern-day strippers? Now, she looks kind of like one of those super sexy hostesses at strip-clubs or casinos, complete with the coat-tails, stockings and cleavage. Her alternate (Anna Williams-like) costume is definitely prostitute-like. SC4, she literally looked like she was gonna do pole-dancing. I know they are hawt, but its funny how they literally look like modern-day outfits.
they got rid of them because you had to work really hard to get them. I mean, you had to get the person's soul gauge all the way down, then do a guard breaker attack and then press... I can't even remember the button combo, but yeah, it was kind of a pain at times. however I do agree that Critical Finishes are a lot better, even though you had to do a lot of prep before doing one.
because in soul calibur 5 kilik uses the styles for all male characters. . same for elysium but she uses all the female styles. edge master uses all the styles. in this video kilik uses maxi's style
3:00 lol, but I'm glad they kept the "older" characters like Ivy, Cervantes, Siegfried, Mitsurugi, Maxi, but why get rid of some of the younger characters like Kilik, Cassandra, Talim, Amy or Xianghua, and some of the sexy ones, like Taki, Shura, or Setsuka, and replace theme (or NOT replace them) with Natsu (over Taki, very poor choice) Leixia (over Xianghua, no difference), etc. I mean, they kept recently-introduced Hilde and Tira. Why not have a busty Talim or Amy if you have Raphael?
Becuz Aeon is supposed to be Lizardman's name when he wuz human. He adopted the name Lizardman due himself transforming into a lizard. My only thought of why they finally gave him his real name back in 5 iz becuz they felt he deserved a "real" name. If none of u believe me, LOOK IT UP.
Okay, so for the buttons, what you can do is go to the options in the game and select whatever will change your buttons (something like 'Control Settings', etc.). Go down to R1 and/or L1, which should be blank by default, and change the setting for it to be "A+B+K". What you'll be doing in a fight would be to do 236 two times and then press whatever you have set for A+B+K (which in PS3 terms is square+triangle+circle at the same time.) P.S.: If you're not familiar with Soul Calibur terms and have no idea what a 236 is, it's a QCF in 2D fighter terms (quarter-circle forward) -- imagine you're holding a traditional clock in your hands. It's like drawing from the 6 to the 3 with your thumb, two times, really fast. XD
And also there is still the chance that they are is probably dead. I mean look at Sophitia or Astaroth or Yoshimitsu they died. Sure they got replacements but Talim is the LAST Priestess of the Wind. meaning if she died then there is no replacement. Or she just gave up fighting.
Why did they show both Edge Master's and Kilik's Critcal Edge (who are just dependent on the character they ended up with) and not Elysium's (who's is actually unique)??
Iam confused? Some 1 plz explain to me Wut happened to the other chars like setsuka, talim, Amy, rock, taki, lizard man, Cassandra, sophitia, seong-mina, yun seong,

True...
LOL gotta love Pyrrah's slow-mo critical edge.

Omg, that's so hot right now

😂💯
Mr Chicos Tacos i dont get it lol
Then she proceeds to stab you in the crotch 3 times screaming "nooooo.." and then *you* end up going to jail.
your forgot another random character, Elysium, worst part is, she actually has her own unique critical edge unlike the other random charecters
AzuraQuin Lilax where's the equality
I CAN'T YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
In my opinion, Ivy has the best CE of all the characters in the SCV
There are so many bad
You're in need of some discipline !!
Really? Put Kilik and Edge Master who don't have their own Critical Edge and leave out Alpha, Omega and Elysium? D:
Suigetsu Hozuki suigetsu

nightmare's CE was a complete let-down, i mean, just a supercharged sword slice, you can't expect to see that from a demon who can battle with someone like siegfried and has been the main villian since the very first game of the series
80 percent damage and an unblockable? What part of that is a let down?
the execution, it's just too simple for a nightmare move
Nightmare was not the main antagonist since the first game. He barely appeared in the first game. The first game was titled "Soul Edge/Blade" and the main antagonist was Cervantes. Nightmare was an unlock able reskin of Siegfried which was labeled as Siegfried!!!"

Raphs and Hilde's have the best Critical edges.
I keep forgetting that SCV had stands..
I kinda think they should've left Kilik as he was because I personally liked him the way he was. I mean the new Kilik isn't too bad but the old one just had that one feeling about him.
Most of these sound so fucking hilarious in slow-mo xD
I see this and I first say "Wow that looks so cool!" then I see the slowmo and I laugh my ass off.
A Cockatiel same here
@BryceCastleman303 Kilik has achieved his goal of being an Edge Master. He knows all the arts.
"I have reached Enlightenment"
1:23 "JUSTICE WON'T PREVAAAIIILLL~~!" OMFG I AM LAUGHING SO HARD
Pyrrha's slow mo killed me xD
@cj45drago2 Kilik's not a clone character, but a character that mimics all male styles basically.
CRITICAL EDGE : Patroklos,Tira
FREESTYLE : Natsu,Viola
SHIELD : Pyrrha,Ivy
WEAPONS : Tira,Voldo
POWER : Nightmare,Pyrrha Omega
CHARGE : Tira,Aeon
SKILL : Leixia
EDGE SOUND : Raphael

INTELLIGENCE : Viola,Patroklos
DURABLE : Pyrrha,Patroklos

These CEs look cool and i am happy by the removal of critical finishes they were too similar to the concept of "finish him and fatality" in MK.
also they're impossible to do
´ILL SHOW YOU THE PRICE OF JUSTICE!!, ASSPLANT!`
I love Viola’s
sorry for a moment here with kilik there is something wrong, the true fighting style of kilik is xiba
@SuperSasuke959 there is no specific button to press, you need to do an extremely complicated button bash combo then hit R2.
6:49 enjoying the view down there, Dampierre?

I do agree though, I miss the flashyness of them.
My favorite critical edge are from Ivy,Algol,Yoshimitsu and Tira :)
But they should bring back the old characters like Setsuka and Talim :/
Because in SCV, Kilik is a character that can copy every male character's fighting style. The style switches every round.
Can't wait for Soul Calibur 6. :D
He says "Soul Edge, burn them!"
He was trained vu edgemaster and over time mastered manu styles it does make sense that hes mimic character
4:12 im sure voldo liked that discipline
The scenario can be somone goes back in time... :)
that's a guard impact before a special attack. I can't see why it wouldn't be in the moves list though.
Kilik isnt in the SCV story and he is lets say an extra char. His moves have passed on to Xiba (His apprentice). Now Kilik uses weapons randomly from all male players.
For our homeland!

Hilde: Black ppl give me strength lmao
Slow motion Pyrrha is just too funny.
So many older characters I hope they bring back:
Necrid
Charade
Inferno
Abyss
Night Terror
Ocladan
Hwang
etc.
Forgot Alpha Patroklos, Pyrrha Omega, and Elysium.
I have this game and the gameplay is Awesome
Everytime I see Algol's CE, I always think of that song "This is what I do, I sit on you." ._.
because they say critical finish doesn't come out that often so plus you need to break their block and that can be replace by evading......
i think the coolest one is Aeon's. no contest with that. most powerful goes to Nightmare (only if the enemy is standing completely still). weakest goes to Viola.
No they are in SC4, Ezio from Assassins Creed 2 is in SC5.
tira imho had the best CE
she gives me the satisfaction of the rebounding mechanics in tekken
Yoshimisu is also very good it's cool and does a crap ton of damage. I main tre and yoshimisu so I may be a little bias
PULEEZEEE STAAAAHHHHHHHHHPP

SC III will always be my fav
See it this way. He is the only character epic enough to take that amount of punishment and still go back for more =D
Voice of SLOWMOTION is Terrible!
my favorite characters Ezio and Cervantes
Ivy was always my favorite
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Anyone ever notice how Ivy's costumes are so badass, like how they're based off of modern-day strippers?

I know they are hawt, but its funny how they literally look like modern-day outfits.
elysium is actually the spirit of soul calibur, taking the form of sophitia because of being wielded by patroklos, sophie's son
i forgot which button you activate the critical edge what button was it on the ps3
Because he is like edge master and elysium, He cycles through all the male players weapons
Holy crap! Is Pyrrha's voice actress the voice of serah in final fantasy xiii and xiii-2! I bet she is!
if you hit nightmares sword its kind of 50 percent damage BUT STILL COOL
Well that's probably because they have the same voice actor, Roger Craig Smith. Roger also voices Ezio.
they got rid of them because you had to work really hard to get them. I mean, you had to get the person's soul gauge all the way down, then do a guard breaker attack and then press... I can't even remember the button combo, but yeah, it was kind of a pain at times. however I do agree that Critical Finishes are a lot better, even though you had to do a lot of prep before doing one.
@ZeroReaper42 Thats still technically a clone character. But that doesnt matter, Kilik should have had his own style like he used to.
Elysium, Alpha Patroklos and Pyrra Omega are missing
What about alpha patrokolas or phyrra omega?? I didn't see them in this video
siegfried my fave 2h fighter:D
Poor Voldo. He's getting his ass kicked.
because in soul calibur 5 kilik uses the styles for all male characters. . same for elysium but she uses all the female styles. edge master uses all the styles. in this video kilik uses maxi's style
Sophitia was killed by malfested who knows were Cassandra is and in my opinion rothian or rothion patroklos dad would have made a good character
All I can say about Soul Calibur V is:
WHERE IS EVERYBODY?!!
Where's Talim?! Where's Yun-seong? Where's...ANYBODY?!! And no way in HELL is that Kilik!
I think that Critical Finishes and Critical Edges should be in the game.
3:00 lol, but I'm glad they kept the "older" characters like Ivy, Cervantes, Siegfried, Mitsurugi, Maxi, but why get rid of some of the younger characters like Kilik, Cassandra, Talim, Amy or Xianghua, and some of the sexy ones, like Taki, Shura, or Setsuka, and replace theme (or NOT replace them) with Natsu (over Taki, very poor choice) Leixia (over Xianghua, no difference), etc. I mean, they kept recently-introduced Hilde and Tira.

And theirs are so cool to watch too. *_*
Becuz Aeon is supposed to be Lizardman's name when he wuz human. He adopted the name Lizardman due himself transforming into a lizard. My only thought of why they finally gave him his real name back in 5 iz becuz they felt he deserved a "real" name. If none of u believe me, LOOK IT UP.
@sora8hearts One more thing. Aeon is Lizardman.
Hey Namco, I have a request. Realease an update for the game to make Nightmare a fair character to play as. Serioisly he's FUCKING OVERPOWERED!!!
WHAT THE FUCK!? Ezio? Ezio FROM ASSASSIN'S GREED?! I NEED THAT GAME!
holy shit, Lizard man has wings?!
PS3 control question (same thing i guess with the buttons)
how do you control a critical edge? have yet to stumble upon it
Okay, so for the buttons, what you can do is go to the options in the game and select whatever will change your buttons (something like 'Control Settings', etc.). Go down to R1 and/or L1, which should be blank by default, and change the setting for it to be "A+B+K".

thank you!! i'll try next time i battle :D
Aeon iz Lizardman, it even says so in the beginning of Lizardman's story in SC3.
thats because he is.
i dont get it when i do it,it doesnt work and i have a hand controller can sme one help
like a replay when they did that with charade in soul calbiur II
And also there is still the chance that they are is probably dead. I mean look at Sophitia or Astaroth or Yoshimitsu they died. Sure they got replacements but Talim is the LAST Priestess of the Wind. meaning if she died then there is no replacement. Or she just gave up fighting.
Poor Voldo... Is some bondage too much to ask for?
Why did they show both Edge Master's and Kilik's Critcal Edge (who are just dependent on the character they ended up with) and not Elysium's (who's is actually unique)??
Maxi is beast ima real big fan of him too
i feel sorry for voldo
Hey guys, whats your biggest combo (WITHOUT CE AND WALL HITS?)
-Mine is 29.
with that bondage outfit you might think he likes it.

@3:30 "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH FATHERLAND!"
he uses a different style each round like edge master now. He uses more than the staff
