Competition #17 - Soul Calibur (Ended)

[Alec1382]

I'm setting my goals on a time of 2' 20" now!

If you manage that, try to post it well in advance of the competition end so I have time to retaliate.

Wow. You guys are indeed good. But damn it, I am NOT going to be left behind

What a difference .34 seconds are...

Just curious, what is your best time to beat the first three enemies? Mine is just under 39 seconds.

I once was 0'43" there with Rock, and 1'03" after stage 4; only to have that fall apart at stage 7 like always. I'm usually around 1'00" with Asta after stage 3; was 0'52" in this latest entry.

What an improvement! It's cool to see someone play as Astaroth, by the way. Personally, big clunky brutes aren't for me. Too slow. But that's why it's impressive to see someone else play them so competently.

Wow that stinks. You were SO close! Well at least you got the final achievement for getting under 3' 00".

[ChrisHa2049]

Yes. I'm quite pleased with the under 3'00" achievement. And I feel I got lucky a couple rounds in that run, too. So it's all good.

It's cool to see someone play as Astaroth, by the way.

Yeah, I have a soft spot myself for big dudes, and characters I don't see used much. I don't know if I'd do as well in competitive play, but CPU opponents are pretty dumb. I can often nail them with some big damaging blows. Otherwise it's spamming the (f,f+K) Shoulder Tackle move, my best friend for ring-outs! Perhaps a Youtube playthrough should be in the works...

ok so I still haven't had time to attempt this yet, I was in Leeds all weekend getting fcuked up with my mate lol, I'll try and do this tomorrow/thursday

[pcwzrd13]

Alright, I was definitely not serious when I said I was going for a time of 2' 20" so I can't believe I'm even posting this score! I managed to get under that! I highly doubt I could do this again. I just got extremely lucky!

Are you sure you had your settings on hard!? O_o
Such a time is doable on Normal but hard!? 2:19!?

That roughly averages each round at approx. Less than 14 seconds a round (assuming no round was lost during the playthrough).

This is why "Time Attack" mode was better suited for this competition. Diffuculty setting nor fight count can be altered in this mode removing any doubt of ones total time.

Yup, I double checked that after I got this time. I'm certain it's possible to get an even lower time than this. I was at 1:29 after I defeated the first 6 enemies. My record time to defeat one enemy is 9 seconds.

[Alec1382]

Desperate times call for desperate... ahem... move repetition. I played cheaply, but it got the job done.

In the end, that took some doing. I'm surprised my final time came out so much lower. And yes, I am playing on hard. I checked, double checked, and triple checked.
