One thing that a fighting game needs along with great gameplay are a great story. Plus the moves you can pull off with this are pretty sick into the bargain. This comes through the Critical Edge system which acts a focus meter or spirit level often seen in the Dragonball-Z or Street Fighter series.Ĭombos and tactically positioning yourself can be tough, so this method allows you to fill the meter with hits inflicted and hits taken, so when the chips are down, you have a chance to spring into life and get yourself back into the fight. However, with the changes made in Soul Calibur 5, there is an entry point for newcomers that was perhaps missing from previous games in the series. Fighting games are one of those types of games where you either have the aptitude or you don’t.
