Soul Calibur 4

Finally got a 30th achievement so I unlocked all the armor. Unfortunately since I reformatted my XBLA connection hasn't been stable :(

Some people just have way too much time on their hands.

How is hilde in this game? I got that neat combo down at a friends, but outside of that I don't know too much about her.

That depends on your stance for double-binding on controllers.

If you allow double binding, she's solid as her charge attacks are no joke, but her biggest risk is that she loses a lot of options while charging. However, with double binds you keep the options (just lose the charge). So for example lets say you get hit by something that puts you at minor disadvantage and you want to interrupt something with a fast neutral A attack... except you're charging A already. So if you try to attack using a neutral A, the charged A comes out instead. Oops -- unless you have another button bound to A, then you can hit it (and drop the charge on A without whiffing an attack).

Really you can do that? Does that count as legal? I mean I love Hilde and will definitely do that.

Yeah I figured as much. Actually the most important thing that gave me was a fighting chance in breaking throws.

Namco finally helped me make my decision not to buy their game!

So, you don't why to buy it because they made more characters available?

They were on the disc, but they're charging for the unlock.

Namco is notorious for this, see: Katamari.

SC4 is the last Namco product I'll buy. Their fighting games have gotten worse and worse and paying to unlock stuff already on disk is something I won't do. Same with the SC soundtrack. Fuck Namco. They can take Tekken 6 and get fucked with it in hell.
