Rayne Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Seriously. This is one of the finest figheters I've ever played, but its online mode is utterly sh*t I haven't yet had a match where someone actually fights properly, every player spams one move, 90% of hosts leave when I join because they're trying to boost with others, its just plain awful. I'd hoped to have a laugh online v_v but with astartoth combo'ing away, or sophitia getting you stuck in a continuous chain, its no fun at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o_FOXDIE_o Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Dude you will have to spame too if you wanna get the rank achievements. I spamed too because I didnt had much choice, so what I did whas playing against small ranked players, and beat them up. By the way, using astaroth online is not a good idea, he is to slow. The cheap moves, you can use offline to finish the tower, wont work alot in the online mode. Good luck bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayne Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Thanks man, any tips on who's best to spam with? Or what combo's to use? I figured Astaroth was too slow online, the occasional lag is just enough to stop me using his combo effectively. Its a shame, I really hate to spam and feel crap when I do it, sooner I get to level 20 the better xP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chojin Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I just helped a friend for about 90 minutes to get to level 20, then he did the same for me a few days later. It's easily boosted and will cause you a lot less frustration. Oh, and of the 3 legit matches I played I won each one by spamming like mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayne Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Seigfried's Y is okay, but fairly easily dodged, is there a better spam attack out there? I'm willing to boost, no one's got back to me though :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayne Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 I take it back, Seigfried is actually an amazing character. Not in terms of spamming, just learning a few of his combo's I've learnt how versatile he is I've won 10 matches in a row, If you really want to win a Soul Calibur, find a character and PRACTICE!

Rayne Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 same opinion from myself it does suck Who do you tend to use online? All I ever get is Sophitia/Amy hitting so fast you can't hit back, or nightmare/Kilik on small stages with no walls getting ring outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGaz Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 use kilik forward forward x, it destroys. Teach those dirty spammers a lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcongale Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 It has the worst online I've ever played in my life, seriously. Matchmaking is horrible - what sort of matchmaking system tries to put you in a full game where there's no room? What a joke. It takes you 10+ attempts using quick match to get into a game. I'm boosting Lv 20 (currently 15) and once I'm done I'm going to just play regular Player matches. All the regulars play in there are there is hardly any spammers.

I'm currently level 12, the ammount of spammers is insane, I've only had 3 normal matches, out of 70!!!

Dark Ronin Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Seigfried's Y is okay, but fairly easily dodged, is there a better spam attack out there? Yes. Apparently, the only character people use online is Cervantes. I played this last weekend on ranked, and must have had 40 seperate games. All but one person used Cervantes or a clone. They spammed the M. Bison-like charge attack, followed by the crossover double-chop, followed by the move where he lifts them in the air and teleports down with a chop. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Personally, I leave bad feedback on people like this. Each character has almost 100 moves, so it's complete cheese to fight the same person and combo over and over. After awhile, I would just random my character, just to give myself a challenge. The online in this game is absolutely terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayne Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Well finally leveled up with a boosting parnter, managed to reach about level 17 on my own...nightmare of an achievement, seriously.

Dr. twinkletits Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 well if your looking to rank up, a dirty trick i used will probably help you. ALways fight low level people and that'll basically net you a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duelingk Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) I got to lvl 50 legit. No boosting and not one spam. I use only seigfried and spamming with him is very hard to do if you ask me. I encountered all the same problems, the only thing to do is to learn what the spam is and learn to block and punish them for using it. When their own spam becomes useless they are left with nothing. Also the biggest tip i can give, DO NOT JOIN A MATCH UNLESS THEY HAVE A 4/5 OR 5/5 LATENCY! A majority of players with the better connections actually care about the game and do not spam. Plus if they do spam, you have a realistic time period to react. 3/5 matches are impossible to win against spammers. Another tip i can give, is of course to practice and learn your character. Going to forums based on actually playing this game and reading up on things can be a tremendous help. Matches become much easier when you begin to have a basic understanding of the game mechanics and what moves are punishable or safe on block. And since so many people play the same characters online, it becomes very easy to predict, evaluate, and defeat other playes. Spamming maks things easier, since you know exactly everything your opponent will do.

Tahae T Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 people can be so lame online spamming away, i got the lvl20 legit, i did it when the game first came out - and i used cervantes, he has quick sped and semi powerfull atacks - just learn some of his moves and dont be a noob remember to block the odd attack and stride left and right! it is possible to beat a spammer with this charachter. if you find you cant then just use rapheal and forward YY attack. but it is always better playing properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkprophet Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) (has now figured out how to boost, and has a partner) Are player matches any less spamtastic than ranked? I think I'll stop playing ranked after I hit 20... (is on 9 now) Edited January 5, 2009 by Darkprophet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunRISING Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Wow, you guys are encouraging him to spam. :/ laaaaame. I play this game online and I'm only on lvl 1 but that's because I keep losing to people who constantly fuck me up with their spamming. Ugh. I don't want to spam, though. Seems kind of lame.

This was my dilema. I just did the achievement boosting with my girlfriend last night. We played regular, just in ranked, until we both hit level 20. Took about 8 hours all together. I'll never touch ranked again, due to the lack of any skill whatsoever. I may not be great at the game, but, I don't spam the same moves over and over again.

P1TTMAN Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I just tried this last night and got so pissed off I was slamming fists into the desk... yeah. I usually would get knocked down, then clobbered over and over every time I tried to get up (by the same move over and over:mad:); and whenever I did almost win a match, the other guy would quit so he wouldn't get a loss...? On the other hand, I just started playing yesterday, and I've never played any SC title before, so I guess I got what I deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
