A couple of brawls from the Ubisoft published fighter, with Raphael squaring up to Hilde and Tira getting spanked by Astaroth. En garde.

    Whoever played this sucked, very little movement from the players, still some problems with the speed and responsiveness.
    These are still the defining games of this type. Will probably take me a year to figure out.

    It's hard to tell very much about how the game will feel from 15fps video, but this does remind me more of the original game than SCIII did.

    Not sure about the dramatic camerawork, but I'll have to wait until I see it running in the flesh before making a call.

    A spear in one hand and a short sword in the other?!? WHAT?
    That would mean whichever one u use would make the other pointless

    Not really. The idea would be to use the spear at long range, and the sword if the person manages to get within your 'deadzone.' The main weakness of a spear would be that if they managed to get in close range you're screwed, a sword in the other hand prevents this and allows them to open up the gap again, in theory.

    Of course, it's a video game that won't implement such complex mechanics so this doesn't matter.

    Who thought that gay Merry Go Round was a good idea for an arena? doesn't look as good as the first few games but the video wasn't great quality.... we'll see.

    Apart from an improvement in graphics (big whoop) it looks no different to the original SC. Which is worrying, as great as SC was it's been done now, many many times since... I really want this to be good...
