I recently bought Soul Calibur II for GameCube. I've made substantial progress in the one player mode at the default difficulty level using Link. But I'm not really using any of his moves. I'm just using the basic moves shared by all of the characters.
I went into the practice mode and got a list of the combinations for all of Link's complex moves, and I can't imagine ever actually learning them all. Rote memorization of the moves would be easy enough, but I can't imagine learning them to the point where I can actually recognize when it would be best to use the different moves in the middle of battle, and respond quickly enough to actually pull them off. And Link's moves are relatively simple compared to the other character's moves, some of which require ten+ button combinations.
So my question is this: does anybody ever actually use these moves? The way I see it, you can either button mash, or learn one cheap move and use it over and over again. That's basically what I've been doing, and it works against both computer and human players. So who actually takes the time to learn all the complex moves? Are they just there for show? Maybe I'm just not used to the genre...Super Smash Brothers Melee made things so simple...
