You know, I stopped carrying about Calibur when the developers admitted that when they designed Soul Calibur 3 they didn't care about balance the gameplay/characters because it was a straight to home console game and people wouldn't feel cheated out of their quarter.
So basically, they didn't care as much about the game because it wasn't in the arcade? They would just rather design cool moves with little to no balance? Geez great.
Well, they said they learned their mistake for SC4, but I don't trust them anymore. Soul Calibur 2 will be the last great game in that series.
