It would help if you named the stick you are using
I use the Hori Fighting Stick 3, and it works fine. However, the buttons are skewed the opposite way that they should be. Minor issue though.. at least it works.
Game-wise, its a great game but wow it feels really short. I've only had it for a few hours and I beat story and arcade mode with every character.
The "Tower" is the only thing I have left and even then I'm flying through it quite competently.
Really? A story mode with only 5 stages?
Also, I'll be trying out my own Stick later now that I remember I have it.
I've had no problems with the Hori Fighting Stick 3 or my X Arcade Solo. Did you have the stick plugged in before powering up the system? Did you turn off your standard controller?

I must suck, because I've only beat story mode with 4 characters and only made it to floor 10 in tower mode. For the reviewers that said button mashing works in Soul Caliber is full of shit.
Story Mode is only 5 stages, but you're also fighting 3 or 4 people in each stage.
Its not like any SC game before it was epic long or anything.
I have still yet to play it since I am a bit broke this month, but I hope to pick it up soon.
Sucks to hear about the arcade stick. I was thinking of picking one up :( The game itself is pretty amazing though. I just wish it had a better singleplayer. Tower of Souls in no replacement for the incredible Chronicle of Swords from 2.
BTW, what's you're PSN so we can fight?
@Gantz - Yeah, I kinda feel that way as well. I can pretty much go through Story mode for a character in about 3-4 minutes on normal so after about 15-20 minutes of playing I've unlocked like 4 bonus characters.
Also, I have no idea why people built up Hilde because I find her to be insufferable. However, I'm totally digging Shura and Algol.
I'm definitely picking up a stick as soon as I know I have some free money. I have no idea how I played this game on the Dreamcast.
yep ditto, getting this game hopefully today after work.
Darth Vader version :)
Was the sexual innuendo intentional in the blog title? If so, bravo.
Is anyone else underwhelmed by Algol? I mean, Abyss/Night Terror is a hard act to follow, but he doesn't give off the sense of "intimidating final boss" to me. I haven't checked out all of his moves yet, so maybe there's some kickass stuff lurking in that command list.
@Aurvantoid I can see why ppl like hilde, she's kinda cheap- still need to unlock stuff- brought it home last night and just played my GF a bunch in vs. to try out the feel of the game and some of the moves... I am still a voldo fan though I just like the way he moves- so I created a hot half naked chick with voldo moves in the character creator
It's the Hori Fighting Stick 3. I didn't have it plugged in from booting up the system and i didn't turn off the other controllers, I'll have to try that.
and yes, the innuendo was intentional :-)
