Tekken 3 the most successful example of a timeskip working in fighting games only had to replace characters that had lasted two games at most.

The head Developer for SC5 decided to do a Tekken 3/Street fighter 3 timeskip angle with the game but In my opinion it's way too late in the series lifespan to attempt something like that, much of the old cast had stuck around too long and were way to popular to replace at this point.

Incredibly slow gameplay to attempt to compensate for online play.Īfter SC4 Project Soul was also quietly disbanded to work on other games and was only reformed to work on SC5 after Tekken's lead Katsuhiro Harada found there was interest in the series continuing in the form of a petition.

Many questioned if Star Wars guests really worked well for the game.

Terrible online even for that time period.

Despite what every noob says Yoda wasn't OP, not being able to be hit by highs and grabs are where the good stuff starts and ends with him.

Horrible character balance - Algol and Hilde were crazy strong and balances patches stopped being a thing after the games first week.

While this game was much better for competitive play than SC3 it still suffered a lot of issues: Soul Calibur 4 got a lot more of mainstream gaming appeal by including the Star Wars guest characters, pretty graphics and the appeal of CaS. Soul Calibur never saw an arcade release ever again.

While many regard the single player content to be great Soul Calibur 3 only had a PS2 port for whatever reason meaning a significant chunk of the SC2 audience didn't get to play it thus sales numbers were greatly effected.ĭespite not making an Arcade port, PS or Namco for some reason decided to release SC3: Arcade edition which ended up fixing most of the bugs and issues in the console port but it was way to late and barely anyone has gotten to play it. This pretty much killed any competitive community Soul Calibur had.

The game wasn't released in arcades making it impossible to balance and patch properly causing some of the biggest gaps in tiers in the entire franchise, game breaking bugs that can be anything from being able to cancel any animation into neutral to straight up bricking your save file. This was followed up by with Soul Calibur 3, which while popular to the more casual crowd completely flopped with the competitive community. Soul Calibur 2 ended up becoming super popular due to its great arcade release, good console ports, people liking the guests, good singleplayer content, alright balance and is well regarded as one of the best in the series.
