Jag har tagit mig ner till Malmö. Det är sjukt mysigt. Avslappnande liksom. Än så länge har ja mest hängt med frans och Elin (och lite Nina). Vi har spelat Mario kart och soul calibur 4. Rökt på balkongen och promenerat i hösten. Sovit mycket. Det är så avslappnat och skönt här nere.

Nu sitter jag på buss sju på väg mot triangeln. Ska ut å fika med andra malmöbor idag, eller som frans sa: jag ska ut på en bögodyssé.

I know its been a long time since I’ve posted another Setsuka guide, but I needed to do a little more experimenting myself before I actually present it to y’all so that I’ll be sure its valid.

This time I’m not going to post her picture or tier review since I’m guessing you guys have seen it all already, right? So anyway, now I’m gonna be focusing on the unnoticed importances of wavedashing.

Wavedashing:
some people don’t appreciate the actual impact of this stance to their opponents online!

214
tech crouches for a short period of time
slightly moves farther from the enemy
executes ”while crouching” moves in this stance
good for evading most moves when mashed

236
tech crouches for a short amount of time
slightly moves closer to the opponent
executes ”8-way run” moves in this stance
good for provoking hesitation when mashed

- coming soon

Here, I’ll be discussing Setsuka’s different combos, I made the moves as diverse from each other as possible so that you guys could make your own by mixing it all up

Basic JF Combos:
to maximize the effort you put into mastering JFs, put them into basic combos
high – A+KA, B+K[JF]B
mid – 1B[JF]B, 214B, 214[JF]3a:B
mid – 11B, 1A[JF]A[JF]A
low – 11A, 3B[JF]B

Connecting Moves:
for the experts, but beware, not the entire combo is 100% hit for everyone
aerial combo – A:g:B, 236AB, A+KB, 236A+B, 33B
low combo – 11A, 3A+B, 214B, A+KB, 214[JF]3a:B
throw combo – 214B+G, A+KB, B+KB, B+K61B44B+K for wall combos only
stun combo – 4K, 214B[JF]B, 22A+BA, A+KB, 2A+B, 11B

Others:
A+KB = good for picking downed enemies up from the ground to start another combo
33B = hits downed enemies, stuns at counter hits, and is a combo starter at normal hit
K+G, 44B+K = good for luring enemies to their doom, noobs always fall for taunt traps
B+K61B33A+B = no need to get worried about ringouts & wall combos with this in hand

So as a topic of this guide, I’ll share several Setsuka tricks for you guys to get better at playing her, since seriously, we need more expert Setsuka players online and in Youtube!

Just Frames:
Her JFs are really important to master, most are essential for her more commonly used combos posted below
214[JF]3a:B – fastest input at ”214” to ”3a:B”
A:g:B – fastest input at ”A:g” to ”B”
1B[JF]B – during hit; regular (standing) input
while crouching 3B[JF]B – before hit; fast input
facing backwards B+K[JF]B – after hit; slow input
1A[JF]A[JF]A -
1st JF = slowest input
2nd JF = during hit

”B+K, 61B, 44B+K/11A+B”:
This is only for the people with Xbox360 controllers, which we all agree on are crappy and not for fighting games
1. assign a shortcut for both ”B+K” and ”A+B”
2. its easier to push ”61” in the directional pad than in the analog stick
3. while ”44” and ”11” is easier to tap in the analog stick

Update:
go to this link if you guys wanna watch some of setsuka’s common, but hard combos, I swear, this guy’s really good!

Por Rebeca Gliosci

Finalmente as Girls se encontraram ao vivo e a cores! Quer dizer, pelo menos duas de nós: eu e Bruninha.

Soul Calibur 4 - Setsuka

Strengths:
- the fastest character in SC3/SC4, hands down
everybody’s irritated about her always hitting 1st, right?
- despite having a short blade, most moves are mid-range
she compensates her short weapon by dashing forward quite far
- her movelist has unique attacks compared to most
A+KB ; 1A[JF]A[JF]A ; 214B+G ; 22A+B,A ; 33B ; need I say more?
- Mirror’s Edge lvl.2-5 (GI more than twice) is really useful
talk about the most useful guard impact ever!
Weaknesses
- not really the most damaging character in the game
counter hits and combos are a necessity for her attacks to catch on
- most of her more powerful moves are just frames and B+K,61B,44B+K/11A+B
constant practice (and a LOT of patience) is needed to pull them off consecutively
- combos are quite hard to connect
most of her moves are only 1-2 hits
- kicks are slow and useless (except for 4K[stun] and 1K[stun])
don’t even bother pressing the other kick buttons, most are punishable

When Namco initially announced a port of Soul Calibur 4 for the PSP, fighting game fans and PSP owners alike immediately thought of their successful and visually impressive PSP port of Tekken 5 entitled Tekken: Dark Resurrection.  With these new screens (featuring exclusive character Dampierre) of the next Namco fighting franchise to hit the Playstation Portable, it looks like Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny will deliver on the high graphical expectations they’ve set for the system while paving the way for the already announced port of Tekken 6.

See Below for latest screen shots:

Dupa o lunga saptamana de offline pe blog… am decis sa scriu un post avand in vedere absenta mea. Totul incepe de luni cand buna mea bunica ma roaga pe mine si rasposatul de var`miu sa venim marti si sa ii vopsim grilajele, balconul si gardul. E ok… totul decurge conform planului. Acelas lucru… pe timp de miercuri si joi. Miercuri seara am fost la domnul Nemo unde am adus xboxul si ne`am jucat toata seara Soul Calibur 4 unde am experimentat faze foarte funny si ne`am amuzat toata seara. Joi seara am fost la 2 filme in binecunoscutul Cityplex din Tomis Constanta. Filmele au fost “Up” si “Drag me to hell”. Up m`a distrat cel mai mult… Pixar a demonstrat inca odata ca stie ce face… si ca stie sa combine actiunea cu comedia si drama, fapt pentru care UP a fost aproape.. cel mai bun film Pixar care l`am vazut. Drag me to hell a vrut sa fie un horror, dar mai degraba a fost un film care a avut scene de tensiune maxima imbinate cu sunete ascutie… scene care facea pe apsolut oricine sa clipseasca si sa se sperie din instinct. Au fost anumite scene scarboase care intradevar si`au avut hazul, dar filmul nu a fost precum asteptarile mele.

Astept cu nerabdare planurile facut de gasca pe ziua de azi si sper sa ma distrez cu putin alcool imbibat cu putin spirt medicinal ^_^.

Hello world ^_^ ! !! !

Graphicsur

- In a word, stunning. Few fighters have the imagination and detail that this game brings to the table. Each and every character is carved in a unique forge that gives them all a truly separate identity. From the grooves and spikes on their armor to each individual wave on their hair, everything about the fighters jumps out at you and says admire me. The fighting animations (moves performed) all convey the sense of pain that getting hit would hurt…bad. Also their special moves are short but sweet. Even amongst all the chaos that goes on within any given fight, I haven’t seen one graphical misfire.

10/10

Gameplay- This game will steal your soul and lock it away for weeks or months at a time. The battle system is brilliant, focusing on variances on attacks divided into vertical and horizontal strikes. In addition you can not only sidestep around your opponents but can counter their attacks. Also, to prevent players from constantly blocking, you can hammer away on a blocker and smash their armor, causing special damage. If one player blocks too much, his opponent can perform a special instant kill attack and end the fight. This keeps fights quick and intense. As for fighters, the roster is very deep with over 30 characters to fight with or you can choose to create your own ’soul’ to battle with. As for unlockables, this game is chop full of them. You can unlock HUNDREDS of pieces of armor/weapons to use on the standard and created characters. There are so many different options you could make a hundred different looking fighters and still have other combinations to play with. The ONLY fault here is that armor is linked to stats, so a nice look may not translate well into combat. A minor oversight in comparison to so many fantastic unlockables and such fantastic combat.

9/10

Story- I never understood why most fighters attempt to have a story and SC 4 doesn’t help sway that pessimism. Your overall SC story continues as the battle of souls and swords carries on with an epic clash between good and evil manifested between soul edge and its fighter (nightmare) and soul calibur and its fighter (Siegfried). There are other story points to be seen but none of them are very well managed. Also, the story segments between different characters aren’t all that different and none of them make you care about WHY you are fighting. On a positive note, the cinematic scenes are a joy to watch and do convey the sense of epicness the developers wanted. In addition, the in fight comments by the ombatants fit the mood just right.

5/10

Online Play/Misc- Since this is a fighter, a key aspect of its play is in the competitive on-line MP. This gives you the standard VS mode, with ranked and player matches separated. You can level up your fighter by winning matches (ranked) and see it on the leaderboards. Nothing here is by any definition unique, but there was virtually NO lag in any match I played and my connection isn’t all that hot, so that’s quite a feat. This allows the fights to be enjoyable with little to no WTF factor involved. Also, there was no exploitable cheats/glitches in the game. On the misc end of things, I LOVED the stats tracker as you can see how many counters, attacks, specials, etc performed overall. For achievement hunters/whores, this is a blessing.

9/10

Overall- You may not be all that involved in the story of SC or why your fighter wants to kill the person in front of them, but since the combat is such a delight to partake in, it won’t really matter. Add in lots of replay value found in the unlockables available, and you have what I believe is the premiere current-gen fighter.

8.5/10

Recommendation: Purchase

W SC4 można spotkać dobrze zaprojektowane postacie, bo autorzy dali graczom do dyspozycji naprawdę niezłe narzędzia edytorskie. Zresztą, widzicie tego Gatsu powyżej? Naprawdę niezły, jak kiedyś ktoś mi wciśnie siłą czwartego kalibura to sobie takiego stworzę i będę nim Yodę nawracał na chrześcijaństwo.

PS. A jeśli TY czytasz to przypadkiem i nie wiesz kto to Gatsu to czym prędzej się dowiedz. Mówię serio.

I just don’t know exactly what am I suppose to do now?  I just got back from the dentist and it was OK.  I didn’t get any cavities or anything like that so it was a good thing then we ate at a buffet which I only at like 3 dishes or so, but not a lot.  I mostly slept the whole time while I was at Livermore.  I mean what else is there to do?  I feel like packing up more stuff for Fresno, but at the same time, I don’t feel like it.  Whatever, I’ll just do something else maybe. 

Like I said, I just finished playing Slipped Away by Avril Lavigne on the piano, but now I got 3 new music sheets to go through.  The first one is Poker Face by Lady Gaga, I think you heard it before.  The other one is Second Chance by Shinedown and the last one is called River Flows in You by Yiruma (I think) which I heard it should have been a music from the Twilight movie.

Also I leveled up to level 3 haha.  I just defeated some person in Soul Calibur 4 and now I need to go to level 4 and so on.  People are getting really hard and the thing I don’t get is why we need to battle levels that are higher than us?  I mean do we seriously need to battle a level 120 when I’m only in level 3?!?!  That’s crazy!  But I defeated a level 1xx before so I guess it’s OK.  

Last thing I want to say before I go is that I heard that the Nintendo DSi can’t play the old games and instead it has to play the new games?  Is that true?  Because if it is then I would wait until I get a Nintendo DSi then.  

OK.  Well I got to go, btw:  I wanted to make some vlogs for my Youtube account, but I just never had time or enough “courage” to even grab my camcorder and record myself just talking and doing some movement.  I’m planning on doing so when I get to Fresno so yeah.  See you guys later in Spring Break and after. =]

I’m so excited.  It started yesterday, but I didn’t write anything down here.  It’s been so long since I ever wrote to you guys.  I don’t even think anyone is reading this stuff since it’s been like only 3 views I think.  I wonder who that might be?

Anyways, I don’t know what to do during Spring Break, I think I’m just going to chill at home watching TV, playing the piano, whatever.  I just don’t know what to do.  I thought we will be going to Fresno for the whole week, but my dad has work and he doesn’t want to leave us alone ever since that Sandra incident. 

If you don’t know, Sandra Cantu just got raped and murdered.  She was kidnapped on March 27 I think and they discovered her body in a lake at April 6.  Sad to say that she died by rape and her body were chopped off and inserted in a luggage.  That’s hella sad.  That saddest part is that there is no suspects or criminals found yet so everyone is unsafe in Tracy.  Even though people say it’s the safest place in the world like the 2nd.  R.I.P Sandra Cantu =[

Anyways, I just got off finishing playing Soul Calibur 4.  Really, this game is really fun to play, but I haven’t played that Street Fighter 4 game ever since it came out.  Anyways SC4 is really awesome, but I’m so getting in trouble with the controller.  It’s really hard for me to control the characters correctly especially when I’m battling online players.  Everyone is in like level 50-100 and I’m only in level 2.  I’m almost in level 3, but I keep dying and loosing.  Oh well.  

I also finished playing Slipped Away by Avril Lavigne on the piano, although it may sound a little bit scratchy.  I’m trying to learn a new song which is Here Without You by 3 Doors Down, but I need to practice the whole thing first before I get into it.  I still don’t know how to play piano very well still.  My parents are not giving me any lessons and all I’m doing is teaching myself for the most part and going to Youtube. Hopefully I’ll be able to play the piano very well.

Like I said, there’s nothing to do for Spring Break.  Everyone must be enjoying themselves in the beach and all that stuff.  It started raining yesterday and Thursday.  I hope that it started raining in Spring Break.  I’m like so emo lol.  Just kidding.  Well, I’m off probably doing something that I don’t feel like doing, but doing it anyways.  See you guys later.

Some comments about my cosplay:
- I still love this cosplay (character) a lot and for a first try-out it was not THAT bad!
- I am still going to redo the painting (skirt) part because the first one was not so good (due to the deadline) and I will try to make it more accurate
- taking photos of a TV-screen when you have the same was a mess for accurate (huge!) pictures was not very successful
- I am still not giving up on the red ribbon with the REAL patterns. Aside that I last time lost 8h of work due to the painting difference (the designs are drawn, each time the same measurements)
- because I never worked before with fabric paint, I worked until 3 A.M. at Saturday to get it finished. 3-4 layers of paint and then I realized at MiA that the paint was coming off (cracks).

Comments about Made in Asia:
The first day I wore a wig and due to the weight it slightly slided of my head a couple of times. My Scarlet Thunder had an accident when we wanted to go home with the car. Because I only slept about 5h I was tired and I even put on my knee patch etc on the wrong leg!

On the 2nd day I used my real hair and I was obliged to use the Scarlet Thunder of my first version. On top of that I forgot to wear my bracelets on Sunday…

Saturday because of the skirt, I did not enough time to practice and study my act. So I decided not to participate the contest because cosplay must be fun (and stay fun!). If I was a participant I would only be very nervous and stressed out due to the time frame…

Afterwards I still like the wig photos more although the shield, leg stuff were on the wrong side.

So what needs to change:
- skirt + paint
- red ribbon
- headband (I found a huge close up picture!) *big happy eyes*
- maybe altering the top a little? (bodice part)
- fix my Scarlet Thunder
- find a solution for the heavy wig
- remade the attachment of my “amulet”

Overview

System: Xbox 360 (also on: PS3)
Developer: Project Soul
Publisher: Namco-Bandai
Genre: Fighting

Soul Calibur 4, released July 29, 2008 by Namco is the fourth installment of the Soul Calibur series, and the fifth installment of the Soul series. There was another Soul Calibur game/spin-off, Soul Calibur Legends, released for the Wii in 2007, though it was an action-adventure rather than a fighting game, and thus is not considered to be part of the series.

Soul Calibur 4 takes after its predecessors in many ways, and if you’re familiar with gameplay in the previous games, this one won’t feel much different.

Review

Controls:

As with every fighter, you use a combination of the d-pad or the directional stick, along with the normal ABXY to perform different moves. If you’ve played any other fighter, the controls won’t take you long to figure out. For anyone else, it may take a couple fights to really get the hang of things.

As I’m sure everyone has heard at some point in their life, the best offense is a good defense. The game even throws that quote into the game at some point before one of the stages, and it doesn’t stray too far from the truth. In Soul Calibur 4, to really master the controls, you must be able to block a lot of attacks that your opponents throw.

Graphics:

The graphics, just like the controls, take after the other games, with a strong Japanese anime style. That said, the graphics are really great. They improved massively over the previous title, which really isn’t that surprising since it was a Playstation 2 exclusive, and that never really made a whole lot of sense to me. Anyway, the majority of character attacks have a nice glowing motion blur following them. All of the stages are done beautifully and very nicely detailed. Honestly, the only bad thing graphically is they didn’t put in support for standard 4:3 televisions, forcing us to use a widescreen view, which cuts off some of the picture at the top and bottom.

Sound:

The sounds in the game are done quite well and feature realistic sounding clashes of metal when weapons strike each other, along with other sounds of the same quality. The music is just as it should be, and sets the mood more than adequately, but how many people buy a Soul Calibur game for the music? I’m sure you’re much more interested in the…

Gameplay:

Ah, the gameplay. What usually makes or breaks a game. In this case, it does both. Soul Calibur 4 does what it’s supposed to, and that’s being a fucking awesome fighter. What it doesn’t do, however, is give someone who doesn’t have XBOX-Live something to consume a lot of their time. The game has 3 main modes: Arcade, Story, and Tower of Lost Souls. Story mode, well, it’s pretty much boring as can be, as it’s basically Arcade mode without the timer or increasingly difficult opponents. Tower of Lost Souls is pretty cool, you have to ascend a tower (of lost souls, I assume), and each sector has a certain number of floors and enemies. During each sector, your characters don’t revive or regain their health, which is a real pain in the ass on some sectors.

For anyone playing on XBOX-Live, they had better be prepared to face people who play one character religiously and know every single combo that the character can do. Of course, there will be people at the opposite end of the spectrum also who just pick the coolest looking character and button mash their way through every match. Either way, XBOX-Live proves to be a lot of fun in this game, as you can never know how good the person you’re going to face is.

Customization:

Returning from SC3, this game also has character customization, but it’s been changed quite a bit. In Soul Calibur 4, you can either create a brand new character and customize it to look exactly the way you want, or you can customize an existing character and change their gear mainly, which can be very confusing the first time, as they don’t give very good explanations. After my second customization, I figured out what everything was and how it all works. If you have trouble with it, I’d suggest looking up more information about it.

Final Words:

If you don’t have XBOX-Live, I wouldn’t suggest buying this game. I would, however, suggest renting it. The game is great fun for anyone playing on XBL, and can prove to be a long-lasting title.

Pros:

• Great graphics
• Captivating music
• Fun gameplay
• XBOX-Live

Cons:

• Doesn’t support standard 4:3 televisions
• Gameplay is short-lived without XBL
• Limited selection of items for customization

Score

Overall: 8/10 (Great)

Gameplay: 9/10
Sound: 10/10
Graphics: 8/10 (would have been higher if they had 4:3 support)
Customization: 7/10
Replay Value: 8/10

Recently I have gotten my recording rig oporational again by hooking it to my server. I have been recording almost everything ever since and caught this while playing with Shadou and AtomicStarfish. My Fav Soul Calibur 4 characters are Amy, Tira and Taki. I’m trying to learn them in that order as well.

In other news (since I haven’t posted in a good while), I am still waiting on my PC motherboard to be replaced AGAIN and when I do I’ll finally be able to finish Farcry2 and start Tombriader: Underworld. The G.E.C.K. finally came out for the PC version of Fallout3 which is basically like the Oblivion Construction set. I’ve already took a look at it but until I get my rig back I don’t feel like modding. My future PC game objectives are to make a Fallout 3 mod, a Farcry2 map and do some more work for PMod.

On the 360 I beat Fable 2, picked up Gears of War 2 and Soul calibur 4 and spent a butload of Microsoft points on Rockband 2 songs and in a bit I plan on getting Banjo Kazooie on the Xbox Live Arcade and the new Gears of War 2 maps.

In Deviant Art news i’ve recently uploaded a lot of new pics, I still do my near weekly journal and lately I’ve started drawing again so I should start uploading the scans as well later.

And also.. after graduating from College on Thursday I was convinced to get a Facebook. Look for me if you want. Use my yahoo email to find me. rockmanneo12@yahoo.com
