    It's following the MK route, only it doesn't have as long to get i t right again. : one random winner

      SF and MK went back to basics, but SC needs to go crazy and stop being a fighting game altogether. : HockeyJohnston

  I really think the series doesn't get the attention it deserves.
  
  The combat is fluid and quite aesthetically pleasing, and the actual mechanics are intricate without being overwhelming. There's a lot more room for error and a lot more room for creativity with the lack of overly powerful combos and the like. I personally think games like Street Fighter put too much emphasis on the mechanics and the execution of those mechanics, a problem that Soul Calibur has never had (unless you were trying to do Ivy's ridiculous command throws).
  
  The game is all about reading your opponent, which is exactly what a fighting game should be.
