I'm excited for what ZWEI's bringing to the game, it's just that before I learn him, I'm gonna have to change his outfit if his 2p outfit is as horrible as his first one.

Best ZWEI gameplay so far:

Also, the first CaS exclusive moveset appears to be based on Devil Jin.

I got this game today, and i'm really enjoying playing it. I'm about 15 episodes into the story. The only complaint i have had so far is, i get on and do one ranked match, and the first game i get in the guy is 52-13 and the game has been out for less than 2 days. I understand that the matches don't take that long, but damn.

It's decent.

I'm not gonna lie, I think SCIV feels a lot better while playing even though SCV seems to be more balanced.

I really think it's a bad idea that you have to pay 25% of your bar to GI. Even though GI is a lot more powerful to compensate it. Almost every character (Not Ivy grrrr) can link his/her GI into his/her Critical Edge.

I love the whole Brave Edge/Critical Edge system.
If you've lost 2 rounds and the next one you lose would the end you actually get 50% (1 bar) for free. I've already seen some nasty shit VS. Z.W.E.I
If he has 2 bars he can actually link 2 Critical Edges in each other. Doesn't do that much damage so it should be fine.

Story Mode was as aspected for a fighting game. (I've finished it, not going to spoil the not so good story.)

Arcade mode replaced the Tower of Souls from SC4. You get 240 enemies you have to battle. Some are easy, some are hard and some are LolWuT?!?!

Online you have Ranked match (Duh) Player Match (Duh) and Global Coliseum. Global coliseum is a HUGE chat lobby were you can text chat with over 80 people, you can join a king of the hill-eque game type, find a random match using the match finder or challenge someone directly by clicking on his tile. I personally see this working for next generation fighting games as well. Mortal Kombat also did this but a lot less organised.

Character creation is a bit more expanded since SCIV. However, I first want to unlock every piece of wardrobe I can find before I create something.

Still have questions?

I think the netcode alone could be reason to get this game. The gameplay received a universal speed boost too so the fights and gameplay look awesome, and even so the online play is very close to seamless.

I'm not much of a custom character person, but the amount of customization you can do actually impressed me a lot.

If anyone wants to play, just add me.
