SCIV also got equipment and music packs. The one with the blazers and school uniforms was my favourite.

Dunno if anyone here is a fan of Misturugi or not, but I saw this in-depth analysis of SCV Mitsurugi from Future Press' guide (written by top SC players):

They could hardly put a Mishima in a fighting game and not have the EWGF.

If he's as hard to play as his Tekken counterpart, you won't have to worry about his electric uppercuts.

Watch Justin Wong play this on a stream for an hour or so and not only does Xiba look ungodly annoying, but Siegfried also looks painfully slow which is going to kill my enthusiasm as a Siegfried player. Looks like I'm picking up Ezio or Viola in his place, maybe ZWEI. Hopefully Hilde is better than that tier list implies or I'll have to drop her too, dammit.

I've no idea about DJ's lasers, but his 112 (AAB I suppose?) rings-out. I feel like using him just to troll.
It kinda annoys me that every moveset got simplified and/or easier except for Setsuka's. Alpha Patroclus seems to be even more dependent on just frames and generally harder than her. This sucks as I really wanted to play that character.

I woulnd't start with Viola or ZWEI. They look quite complicated and apparently they are not worth the trouble.

I'm gonna play through the characters and see who I'm most comfortable with, Viola has a very interesting style I like though so I might settle with her.

k, First thing I did was make a character. ...Fuck me, The initial selection of clothes and stuff is limited. So then I decided to go and get story mode outta the way.
Spoiler:
Patroklos Yagami is off slaying "malfested" people under some dickhole lord named Dumas' name. He gets sent off to kill more people while believing that he's looking for his sister, Pyrrha, who was apparently abducted by Tira...This is the company that has a fucking bear and a kangaroo in their fighting games, I'm not gonna question jack shit about anything.
Anyway, ZWEI stops him from killing a guy and tips him off that Dumas hasn't done shit to find Pyrrha. Light Alexandra confronts Dumas about it. Dumas is all "So what if I didn't look for her? She's prolly dead in an alley somewhere anyway." and sicks Voldo on him. Afterwards, Patty Cakes ventures off to find ZWEI, Who then leads him to his Captain, Siegfried. Who then fights Pat (Fuck it, I'm gonna call him this from now on.) to test his worthiness as Soul Calibur's next wielder ...Because he suddenly lost that after killing Nightmare in the last game. ...Again, Not questioning shit. He then sends Pat off in the general direction of "Ring Blade girl and malfestation" with ZWEI and chick #30-who gives a fuck.
Cut to dear sweet innocent OH MY GOD I JUST KILLED SOMEONE Pyrrha... Why couldn't she have been a Mute? Mute female characters are adorable. With the exception of Sis from Alpha Protocol, She's just bad-ass. lol Anyway, Tira fucks with her head by telling her about Pat and getting her hopes before she has to fight more humans. She gets a head-ache and passes out. hurr durr
Pat and crew show up nearby and Tira provokes Pat a tad by threatening to kill Pyrrha. ...Yeah, We all know it doesn't happen. She runs away and leaves Pyrrha behind for Pat to have. Getting what he wanted, He packs his shit on the spot and decides to go home with his sister. ...Yep, Sounds like a win to me. :V
On the way home, Astaroth pops up for a fight and causes a small injury to Pat's shield arm. Ivy then pops by to treat the wound and then immediately fucks off after mentioning the three treasures. Sometime shortly, Voldo shows up. Pat's arm is still fucked so Pyrrha fights him. ...This is the one point where I actually like her. ...Yes, She kills Voldo. ...Or atleast, You see his sketchly drawn self on the ground and his soul being sucked into Pyrrha's arm. So, I'm assuming he's dead or something. ...About the "sketchly drawn" comment, Actual CGI clips are few in between, The majority of the story is told in sketch book style. ...yay
The two make to town and it's in flames, Dumas is there and... Plot Twist, is actually The New Nightmare. Pat gets raped and Pyrrha goes Super Saiyan and fucks Nightmare's shit up. She then turns to Pat, who then draws his sword on her because... Who the fuck cares. Anyway, She then goes "I'm your sister, Don't you love me." and then Pat runs away all "Why is this happening to our family!?!?!?!?!?!?!". Tira shows up and Darth Pyrrha is all "I can only trust you, Tira." and then follows her.
He then trance-steps his way back to Siegfried & ZWEI, Telling ZWEI everything and then having Siegfried treat him like shit and kicking him off the bridge... Nah, j/k, Siegfried asks him to join his group for real. Pat acts a bitch again, ZWEI gets into a fight with him and straightens him out, Then Pat gets Setsuna's fighting style. /Zelda Open Chest Theme
Pat then goes to Ivy to fight her, Because what else is there to do. She then sends him off to find the other 2 treasures (Because Soul Calibur is one of the three.), And then we run into the new Kilik & Xianghua... And I hate them both. The new Taki seems alright, And Maxi is still as boss as ever. ...Why is he the only one of the four left again? I'm not complaining, Just curious (Ignoring Edge Master Kilik.). They fight, Pat gets his treasure, Ivy does her voodoo, And ...I just realized I forgot an important plot point. *gasp* k, Earlier on the game, Sophitia shows up in Pat's head to cheer him on. Well, She shows up again here to tell him to pick up his sword and, You guessed it, Kill Pyrrha. ...Oh? That wasn't your guess? Well, Too bad. That's what happens.
So then he finds Pyrrha, Fights her, Kills her, & watches as her body turns to an Icicle Display. ...And then the game ends. lololololololololol ...Oh wait, No it's not. Pat ends up in limbo with Edge Master and then Edge Master's all, "Your will is shit. Grow some balls, Bitch." and then Pat wishes to go back in time to where he made his mistake.
REWIND!
Pat gets his treasure, Ivy does her voodoo, And everything happens exactly the same as befo--oh wait, He grabbed his head. Big fucking diff--Oh shit, He said "no" to his mom. And boy is she pissed, She grounds him and leaves his ass in limbo for a week. But then he finds Edge Master again and learns that he should be wielding his sword, Not the other way around. He then tries to draw his sword and it locks up on him, He then goes "I can break these cuffs" and...does it. ...What? Don't tell me you were expecting something NOT cliche.
Anyway, We cut to Siegfried and ZWEI who have taken the battle to Dumas and his army. Siegfried covers for ZWEI and then ZWEI makes a B-Line for Dumas. Dumas goes Super Saiyan and then they fight.
..................................................At this point, I have to confess something. ...I suck as a ZWEI player. ...Literally, I have no fucking idea what I'm doing. I actually rage quit because at this point, Nightmare was all. "Fuck you, n00b. LRN2Combo & Parry."
But I think I can safely predict what's going to happen next. Pat saves the day and his sister, Evil fails again, & Not a single fuck was given that day.
The End
I also notice that I was unlock creation related stuff as I progressed. ...And yet I get the feeling that Story Mode's not the only place to get your shit at, There was a mode I couldn't access in Offline Mode. It was above Arcade Mode. >_> I think it's the Arena Mode. And I think I have to beat the story mode just to unlock it. ...yay
So, Yeah, So far so...meh. lol, It's fun and all. I just want to hurry and get better looking shit for my self insert to wear.

So it only took me 2 or so hours to complete Legendary Souls... the AI was too fucking cheap and I'm a total noob.

But your a tekken master, surely this game is a joke comparatively?
Did it seem like it was reading button inputs?

I suck in Tekken too. It just happens that most people are even worse than me. IMO SCV is the perfect 3D fighting game for casual gamers like me. The gameplay is great and it has depth, but it's not as hard and complex as Tekken and VF, so it doesn't take forever to get decent.
The AI in that mode is just ridiculous. It reads inputs and uses the most damaging combo. I also made a huge mistake as I completely underestimated the difficulty of that mode and picked a character that I didn't know how to use. It was a nightmare.

I just found out that you can unlock Algol by beating him in the Arcade or Quick Battle instead of completing the Legendary Souls.
