Woot birthday

So it twas my birthday today.
Or, yesterday in temp-future time.

Just opened my presents.
I got:

$25 (grandparents)
Soul Calibur 5
New blanket (<3 my old one had almost none of its stuffing left, and was falling apart at both ends...)
A bunch of candy and a gigantic chocolate bar
Several stacking games (just funny small purchases. I got a chair stacking thing for Christmas and wanted the others...so they got 'em for me)
an IOU for several packs card protectors. Apparently they were all out at the only nerd shop in town. Figures. My poor Ano Hana deck will have to continue sitting on my desk in a protective container.
Also whenever my friends order stops being backed up by something, i'll be getting Madoka and kyubey ribbon straps. Yay.

All in all a good birthday. I didn't do much of anything, and that's how I like it. Pretty much just played some Kingdoms of Amalur, Osu and watched some Kara No Kyoukai / Fate/stay night (again).

and thank you to those who wished me a happy birthday.

It's..hard to say.

Pro:
Character customization is miles better. It takes forever now and there's a TON of stuff to unlock, and so much to customize. It's pretty epic.
Combat is flashier. Looks a lot nicer.
Combat seems to be more fluid overall
Lots of characters and the new faces seem to be similar to whoever they replaced, but not entirely the same
A ton of titles to collect in offline battles against computers
Haven't tried it but I hear the online mode is a lot better than SC4

Con:
No Talim. What the fuck.
There aren't that many interesting modes. No tower like in SC4. There's pretty much story, arcade, quick play, a mode to fight various different custom characters for titles, and legendary souls which is basically just a match, or matches against really fucking tough characters. The first is Kilik and he whups me so i can't get past him yet.
Guard impacts are horrible now. It's a button combo to do now, and characters even have them worked into some of their moves. They're really awkward.
EDIT: Playing again right now. They're not THAT bad...but I still don't like them. They're basically <-R-trigger to do a guard impact stance.
Still no Talim.....QQ
I'm not a fan of the super moves. Some are retardedly unfair, some just plain suck out loud.

overall i'm enjoying it and I don't regret asking for it. But it's hard for me to tell people to go buy it.
 
Happy birthday to us, then! I got myself a new phone, and my family went out for some sushi.
