Soul Calibur 3 or Soul Calibur 2?

The commands to pull of move in SC3 are ridiculous. It was frickin simple as hell tp pull of Ivy's Calamity Symphony in SC2, which is the most powerful move in SC2. Tell why its became 100x harder to pull it off in SC3? Namco knew that some of SC2 was a little unbalanced (e.g. Raphael's BBB combo) but they also had to tone down already balanced characters so much that it is no longer easy to play with them. SC3> SC2 in Visuals and overall presentation, but in terms of control and fighting system SC2 will always be better than SC3. I still like playing SC3 though. ROFL.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you again. In SC3, you must have more PRECISE joystick movements to pull off the tougher moves. This means that there is actually a challenge in being cheap and dealing huge amounts of damage. If what you are saying is true, are you saying that Easier games > Harder games? I think that with the harder fighting system, it adds a challenge, and it really makes it more fun when you can actually beat the computer on Very Hard. Remember facing Raphael on Very Hard in SC2? He was ridiculous because of the BBB move and his little dodges. However, they have removed that in SC3, making the game much more fun because now you can pwn Raphael's sorry little ass. Also, I like harder games because I find them more fun because you actually have to work to get stuff accomplished. Maybe this is making me a little biased... Still, IMHO, SC3>SC2.

First off, to the comment that nightmare looked cooler... He looks nearly identical to me in his basic costume, and his alternate costume looks FRIGGIN BADASS, especially my custom colors for it (blood red armor and hair, black skin). Also, SIEGFRIED IS IN THE GAME. Who has always been my favorite character in the entire Soul Blade series. He also looks damn cool in that new suit of armor.

Plus, CUSTOM CHARACTERS. End of that discussion right there.

And, I have to say, i think the fighting is a lot more balanced and takes more skill. They made a system where everyone has an equal edge if they know how to guard impact and throw in delayed moves to good use. That's my two cents, anyway.

SC3 was waaaaaay bettr than SC2... There is o contest. The fighting system is better, characters are cooler looking, graphics way better, more modes to play, create a character, I mean come on! Theres thousands of ways to create your own fighter!! Also, there are weapons with fun moves to use! (staff that turns as large as a pillar =P) I say 3 is definitly bettr

If the game in question were to be put in line for an arcade release, then this game would be better..
