No Soul Cal 3 players here?

Hey man, just wondering if any of you jumped on this stellar game that continues the Soul series. While at high level play, a lot of bugs have been found, most are hard to perform in actual gameplay, so the game pretty much still stays the way it was meant to be played.

I'm still running tournies down here in NM, but I'll be out in Lawrence in the next few weeks if anyone wants to get games. Anyone looking for comp, my friends are still living in lawrence as well, and are always looking for somebody new to play.

I would if it were on any other system but PS2. Eventually I'll prolly pick it up, but the fact that it's PS2 only really kind of stole away my excitement for it. Here's to hoping the recently-resurfaced rumors of a 360 version are true...

I bought it. I guess only hardcore Soul Calibur fighting fans notice the bugs. Triad already told me about the memory card glitch. The community over at soulcalibur.com have been complaining a lot about SC3 but some are saying that the mem card glitch doesn't always happen.

Yeah, there were a lot of complaints, but the game still functions fine. The HUGE cast is a big plus. Load times are so short this time and the backgrounds are the best of the series. Anyone thinking it's another PS2 disaster need to think again.

If you're up for some games in a few weeks, let me know.

I could never get into the Soul Calibur games. The only 3D fighting game I actually really liked was DOA. That was also probably only because of the online play for DOA:U. Fighting games are not my forte...

I second that. I race and shoot. I really don't fight.

I'd love to play it, but no PS2. I have the other 2 systems and now a DS. I have a hard enough time keeping up with those games, which I'm failing nicely at.

Part of me wants to say fuck you Namco. They release II on all systems, PS2 sells the worst, and surprisingly enough, the Cube version is the most popular one. What do they do? Whore out to Sony anyway. It just makes me a little mad because if the Cube or XBox version came in last, they'd dump them in a heartbeat.

the only reason it did so well was because of Link. why even release it on the cube? I'm willing to bet a lot, that 90% of the soul calibur II sales on the Game Cube were from Zelda fanatics. Soul Calibur III- no Link.. so there is really no point in releasing it on the Cube.. X-box.. maybe, but Game Cube no.

i whipped him in SC2 so bad he won't show up for a SC3 tourney

SC3 tourney? Where? I hear there's a new game store in town as well, how are they?

Getting back to the topic at hand, do any of you in Lawrence play avidly enough that you'd be interested in weekly or bi-weekly gatherings? I told my friends to start putting flyers up at KU at some popular hot spots just to see if a campus of 25,000 plus students has any serious SC3 fans. It must!!! Little tiny Haskell did when I was there.

If they don't do it, I'm going to print out flyers and put them up myself for them when I go there.
