Since when did EventHubs cover fighting games that weren't produced by Ca$hCom? Can we expect news coverage/video tutorials on other fighting games like Mortal Kombat and KoF 13?

WOW eventhubs really going in on soul calibur. Well thats what happens when fat megaman jumps into street fighter x tekken. Eventhubs even knows that was a horrible idea when it arrived. They were like "yo you see this sh!t, we gotta expand now quickly"

Capcom is still their foundation, just waiting for those ONO m.bison trailers and other characters

They announced it yesterday in a post on here that they were expanding the format of the web-site, as well as adding a filter option to filter out articles about games you don't care about.

@2

They are going "all in" with Soul Calibur news because the game just came out so there is a lot of news on the game. It also doesn't hurt that they are getting advertisement dollars from Namco for those huge Soul Calibur ads on their main page.

Fans: Why isn't Taki, Mina, Talim, and Amy not in this game?

Namco: They got old, so we told them to have kids and get back into the kitchen

**** you namco. Old men can fight, but lower middle aged women can't?

@12

I've heard Taki and Talim have a strong chance, and I hope this is the case. I myself want Mina since I've played her in ever game(and hated playing Kilik), but I won't get my hopes up.

I really want Talim, I can't believe I'm saying this but add her as DLC. I won't mind paying for her to be added to the game.

Also if she's in the game, will she be like 34 years old. I wouldn't mind having her be 17 if she's DLC.

(got to wait till Friday for the game, if her fighting ability is in the game than I'll just create her)

I think that the reason Eventhubs is including this is because there is this "feel" from the fighting game community that slowly but surely we will all be one........Or, simply, Namco is now a part of Street Fighter as Harada and Ono are close and making two games together....just a hunch..

Dissapointed that Talim isn't in the game. I pray they really do add her as DLC.

Strangely enough on this game I care more about the moves sets than the actual characters, since this game have the character creation mode.

I've mained Taki since SC1 and while I'm sad to see her go, I'm ok with it. At this point, I rather see her stay out for Natsu's sake.

On the flip side, there is NO excuse why Zasalamel or Talim should missing from the game. None. Yun-seong/Hwang and Seung Mina don't need to be in this game but they should have been represented in some way.

Elysium, Edge Master, Alpha Patroklos, Omega Pryyha, Algol, Dampierre, Devil Jin CAW and Kilik's dumb ass are retarded. My roster would have been:

Returning-
Talim
Siegfried
Mitsurugi
Ivy
Tira
Voldo
Astaroth
Raphael
Cervantes
Yoshimitsu
Sueng Mina

New
Patroklos
Pyrrha
Natsu
ZWEI
Leixia
Viola
Xiba
Male Hwang Style character
Female Maxi Style character

Boss
Nightmare
Elysium (using Sophitia Style)
Zasalamel
A NEW obligatory retarded Soul Calibur Monster (e.i Algol, Charade, Inerno, Abyss, etc....)

CAW Souls
Setsuka

Even though they are cut from the game, there should be tools to make Setsuka, Kiliks dumb ass, Sophitia, Maxi (who I cut), Hwang/Yun and others.

End rant.

I accidentally left out Hilde from my list above. She should be included as well.

I think they should stop focusing on the story in ALL fighting game and focus on the gameplay. Usually when I beat a game for the first time, I watch the ending once, and after I just want to skip it... because they are all dumb. In the case of SC, I don't know the story, nor understand, find it too confusing, and nor care.
