SoulCalibur 5 is a far cry from the game I used to love, and it's got more than its fair share of problems, but deep down, the soul still burns.%Gallery-145013%Mechanically, SoulCalibur 5 feels like a halfway point between Soul Calibur 2 and Soul Calibur 4, in that movement is tighter and more controlled like SC2, but the actual mechanics of fighting feature more complex systems, a la SC4. It's hard, because when you get back with an old flame, you want things to go back to the way they used to be, and that's rarely (if ever) possible. I've rediscovered all the little things I used to love, as well as the reasons why we broke up in the first place. We've been spending a lot of time together, and it's been a pretty intense emotional rollercoaster, truth be told. So imagine my surprise when SoulCalibur 5 showed up at my apartment, looking better than ever and wanting to go a few rounds. Despite trying to reconnect a couple of times, we haven't really talked much since the old days. The world had moved on, my needs had changed, and Soul Calibur 2 understood that it was time for me to go. Things change, though, and as time marched on we realized that staying together wasn't the best thing for the both of us. It was rare to ever find us apart for more than a few hours at a time I loved Soul Calibur 2 with all of my heart. We spent every evening together, laughing over the ridiculous ring outs we shared and taking special pride in infuriating my friends, together. Soul Calibur 2 and I used to be "an item," back in the day.
