Talk:Soulcalibur III

message: In order to prevent an edit war over Setsuka's weapon, I have decided to explain the situation of the term "iaito" with regards to her sword. It is not unheard of for Namco to release basic biographical information that is needlessly ambiguous, mysterious or even misleading. Many of these instances, however, can easily be overcome with basic detective work. BUT, Setsuka's iaito is NOT one such example of this type of ambiguity. Had her sword been labeled a generic katana, there would be reason to believe that her blade is, in fact, a shikomizue, as such a sword was often concealed inside walking canes. But Namco specifically labels her sword as an iaito, a fact that is hard to get around. And since they use the word "iaito", it is understood that they mean she has an iaito, not a shikomizue. Besides, "shikomizue," as far as anyone can tell, specifically refers to swords hidden in walking canes, not umbrellas; which would thus disprove the chance of it being a shikomizue even further. It is appreciated that people have studied up on weaponry and know that such a weapon exists--as it's not exactly common knowledge--but her sword is not a shikomizue and cannot be labeled as such. Namco calls it an iaito and that's what it will be. If you see it incorrectly labeled, it is kindly asked that you restore it to its correct state. Thank you for your understanding.
NOTE: any sword used for the study of iaido can be labelled as an iaito (see second sentence in brackets http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iaito)
I think a great deal of confusion comes from the fact that Namco actually describes Setsuka's weapon as an iai (search Setsuka's profile for confirmation here: http://soulcalibur3.namco.com/site/index.html), which everyone seems to have misread as iaito. I believe Namco's use of the term iai sword simply refers to any sword used for executing iaido/iaijutsu, whereas iaito specifically denotes a low-cost practice sword made of aluminium - and there's no way Setsuka or any other warrior would have used an iaito to take on wrought-iron katana swords. 79.74.4.208 (talk) 22:12, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I have created a new template for use on soul character's pages. Template:Soul Character. it is, as of this post employed on Tira (Soul Calibur). it looks exactly the same as the current biography tables on the character pages except it will be a standard. also it lists the eng/jp voice actors inside the template so we can get rid of those ambiguous "western/eastern" voice actor posts.. --Phil 09:05, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

message: the vast majority of the article seems to be critisism. if the majority decides that the game is that bad, fine, but that article seems to be one-sided. the article has a section for critisim, but none for praise. this should be fixed. Saganatsu 22:37, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article does not seem neutral 

message: So it was getting hard for me to update all these pages once a week with links to the new match videos; so I eventually stopped updating. None the less, I had a ton of referrers from wikipedia on Crooked Jester and lots of visitors sent me messages asking that I keep wikipedia updated on match videos. It was getting tedious and I didnt really want to do it. Not to mention, certain characters like Cassandra, Mitsurugi and Kilik started getting bloated in the match video list. We offer more then 20 vids for those characters and there was no reason to have the match videos section of their pages take up over 50% of the page. So what I decided to do something else instead; instead of adding each match individually, I rewrote the search engine script on Crooked Jester. I then added links that will query my server for a list of match videos featuring that character. This list is automatically reparsed every time someone clicks on the link here at wikipedia and it will add any new videos it discovers to the list! This makes it easier for myself and other wikipedia users in getting match videos. --Jaxel 02:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  AI, cons and pros... 

message: Anyone know who were the motion capture actors for eastern weapons forms and moves?
What style were they? I'm mostly interested in the straight sword and the staff. From the swift moves and strong emphasis on the blade/staff itself and strong acrobatics, I dare guess they are both from the external family.
Any experts?

thread_title:  Martial art style? 

message: Enough is enough. I have recently redirected the Chroniciles of the Sword page to this article. This series and the creation of its articles have been exceptionally inappropriate. I have removed the character section from the resulted merge, and will insert the relevant material in the main list of characters. 
In the main section of the article, I have removed nosnense such as the biased statements pertaining to character strength. I've had these articles on my watchlist for a very long time and due to many subject areas, I have been unable to participate in the construction. This is ridiculous. Its time for clean-up. -ZeroTalk 04:01, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll be probably the only one to answer you, but in my opinion this is totally uncool. I'm in no way conformed with the merging, and will refrain from doing other proyects because I don't want my work go to waste like this. Thanks, much appreciated.

thread_title:  Name of game? 

message: I think they are fine. There is barely any information in this article at all, and I am sure that most people who look up the game will want to know what kind of characters and what the story is. There is no balance in this article. It is all about mechanics and reception, and that isn't enough information. If someone wants to clean up the characters, thats ok, but deleting them would be a mistake.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.228.218 (talk) 13:26, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Character Analysis 

message: I have just moved all Soul Edge/Calibur character's articles to use the most commonly used name as the article title. After being part of a debate over Street Fighter character article names for over a month, the decision was in agreement of my proposal to use the most common name as the article title and not their full biographical name (this information belongs in the first sentence of the article itself). Please do not move the articles back as this was decided as the correct method for article names. Please see Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2006-12-21_Street_Fighter_character_articles and Talk:E. Honda for the resaoning. Thanks Mr.bonus 22:22, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
