« Soul Calibur V: Paris Invitational Community Post-mortem Provides Excruciating Detail »

LLL.MCZ.Kayane has posted a humongous blog following the recent Soul Calibur 5 gathering in Paris, France. In it, she covers the 8-team, 5v5 battle they had and breaks down the players' thoughts on the game so far and opinions on specific characters. There is a HUGE amount of information on the game in her blog, so check it out. Those of you who read her interview with iPLAYWINNER will know that this is her main game, so she's pretty excited about it. The producer of the game, Hisaharu Tago-san, had a message for the players which was read aloud by Kayane. Check out the video, along with some player impressions, below!

Player Hajin had the following to say about Maxi:

Maxi is far better now. It’s just an early build, and the character is far from finished, but what I saw pleased me. I really love that new Maxi, he needs a lot more attention, but I think they go in the good direction. His new damage output is cool, he can bring the pain. But as always he have to work his way to it.

Taki player Ramza wasn't too hot on Natsu:

My feeling is the same than the one of the other Taki players : Big disappointment -_-

It seems in fact that her game plan is completely different of the one from Taki. I think that Natsu is not at all played in pressing anymore, but a little more in zoning. Her PO starters are clearly weaker, but above all the fact that she cannot step anymore after a PO would make her pressing very linear and also more risky. If we add the fact that her AA seems less efficient, we could almost say that she has become a « regular » character.
