Ah, yeah -- I've got a PS4 but I've got no intentions of getting rid of my PS3. No idea what sort of connection we'd have (I'm from Australia) but we could certainly give it a try. I've been the guy running most of the online sessions for the (good) Oceania players since the game came out, and Japanese players join a fair bit too. I allow people from other regions in if they're respectful and have a connection that I can Just Guard in -- sometimes I'll tolerate worse connections if I'm playing really casually.

I actually use everyone to an extent (blame having Edge Master as my fourth main character), but my main is Z.W.E.I. and a lot of people think I'm actually the best player with him period. I'm often nowhere near at my best when I play though -- blame the whole 'always multitasking and can never focus' thing I mentioned in the hang-out thread. I'm ultimately a casual player at heart despite my skill level -- this is the case for all fighting games actually, since I play a lot of them. Soul Calibur V is the only 3D fighting game I particularly like though; honestly, I'm a 2D fighting game player at heart. That sounds like a cool way to beat people with Astaroth though -- strategy is more important than combos anyway.
