Spike's best fighting game.

Spike's VGA will start very soon, but for some reason, they are releasing every single winner to everyone who is watching their live feed from the web.

The best fighting game was announced and the winner is Soul Calibur 4.

I hate video game awards. Why?
Because games that came out in the spring are never recognized.

HOW ABOUT SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL?
Although I dont know when SC4 came out... so I'll look like a complete idiot if it came out at the time of Brawl.
But Brawl is a better game anyways.. I'm still playing it.

First of all, games that come out in Spring ARE recognized. GTA IV much? Second, Super Smash Bros. Brawl was a disappointment that only Nintendo fans by the balls will deny. It was the same thing with minor improvements, nothing big and broken online gameplay. There's nothing in that game that "wowed" me or many others who played Melee before. Tournament players dismissed it over Melee and I can confirm that because I talk to them. Good day sir. I will be watching the VGA's and enjoy Kratos rip fools on Spike TV HD gloryness. RRRRAAAAGHHH!!!!!!!

Wow those winners are crap...I would doubt that Metal Gear Solid 4 would get best sound track based on that list. It seems like they like to pick games that suck. The only ones I agree with are Burnout and Left4Dead

"Big Name in a game female: Jenny McCarthy as "Tanya" in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3"

Is that a real category? Dumb. Who cares? I'm only watching to see some trailers of upcoming games. These awards mean nothing.

Soul Calibur IV - 15 Years of Soul

Soul Calibur IV launched worldwide 15 years ago, bringing with it the best performance of the series to date.

Terry_B694d ago

Hell no. It was the start of the downfall (SCV) of the series. Huge downstep from the giant SCIII

purple101694d ago

Switched to unreal engine. Ruined it.

Yi-Long693d ago (Edited 693d ago )

Used to love this series, probably my favorite 3D fighter, perhaps together with the now also dead Dead or Alive (2-3-4), but as with so many games in the fighting genre, their short-term greed (season passes) has made me lose all interest, sadly …

sagapo693d ago

Yeah, I remember playing Soul Caliber on my dreamcast at the time, that was insane!

sosro693d ago (Edited 693d ago )

the first three are much better games.

Walweeze693d ago

Loved Number 2 and 3( loved all the solo modes like chronicle of the sword ) so was super hyped when 4 came out but the lack of single player content was disappointing. Still love soul calibur to this day though

DarXyde693d ago

2 was definitely the golden era of Soul Calibur for me. I was a bit conflicted about it at times because there were 3 different versions (I liked the PS2 version for controls, I liked playing as Spawn the most, and I thought the addition of Link was really awesome). Even so, the single player content was outstanding. Easily the most fun I've had with a fighting game, followed closely by Tekken 5's single player modes

In defence of Soul Calibur 4's horrible Star Wars guest characters

From VG247: "Link suits the world of Soul Calibur. The elf-like little twink fit into the roster as well as any sword-wielding fantasy hero could – facing off against the likes of the machiavellian Frenchman Raphael, the inhuman hellspawn Astaroth, or the horny gimp Voldo, the Legend of Zelda guest character fits right in. Weaponry, aesthetic, move set… all of it gels with Soul Calibur’s camp high fantasy world – even when you’re pulling massive bombs out of God-knows-where and hurling them across the stage. It just fits.

You know what doesn’t fit, though? Lightsabers. No amount of sci-fi reasoning, magic, or blaming it on wizards can make Yoda, Darth Vader, and (eurgh) Starkiller fit in the war-torn European and Silk Road settings of Soul Calibur. It just doesn’t track. Why Bandai Namco decided to shoehorn the trio of characters into the fourth Soul Calibur game, then, remains a mystery; it’s damaging to both brands, it makes no sense canonically, and – more than anything else – it’s just all a bit tacky (or should that be Taki?)"
