Am I the only one who thinks Soul Calibur is a mediocre fighter?

Always a step behind Dead or Alive in terms of graphics.Always a step behind Tekken in terms of gameplay. Unlike Mortal Kombat it has no gimmick to speak of.My biggest gripe with the game is really how weak the weapons feel. These guys wield swords and warhammers and it feels like they're hitting with Styrofoam sticks. No 'ouch' factor. Play Samurai Showdown II or IV, a 2D fighter and be amazed at how suffering and pain is portrayed in the game. Every strike the characters take is felt and you can even watch them grit their teeth as a sword carves its way through their back. It's bloody. It's brutal. They have bladed weapons for Christ's sake. Soul Calibur? Doesn't even come close.Soul Calibur? Yeah scrubby fighter for me. Not looking forward to the 6th entry even if it's coming out on PC. Plus no cross-play.

You're not the only one. Plenty of people agree with you. They are all morons. Every single one of them.

Tekken is horrible, painfully slow and stagnant when it comes to gameplay.

I don't think soulcalibre is always the greatest but it's always better than Tekken.

Tekken is by far the deepest fighting game out of all the popular ones.

Thought it was revelationary on the Dreamcast but do agree it's not really aged that well as a fighter. I'm still looking forward to playing as it's been a while since the last one.
