If you had to introduce yourself in three sentences to some SoulCalibur player who didn’t know you, what would you say?
I starting play SC3 in 2006 until now. I love this series too much, so I try to collect all the related products. And I joined SBO07 (16th), EVO JP 19 (96th) & 20 (49th). Some of the rivals in SBO07 already became develop team members like Oosaka, KT Kamen.
What is the origin or meaning of your nickname?
Chang is mean Chang KoeHan in KOF, I played a lot KOF before SC and like this character so much. But actually, Singapore player – Shen Yuan’s real surname is also Chang. And we are really friends in real life. XDDDD
How did it happen that you ended up playing fighting games?
I mainly played KOF in arcades when I was young, but after SC3, someone held a gathering in the arcade center (rent the machine and connect to PS2 console) I am so surprised. And the people were so nice and teach me how to play. So, I started play SC seriously.
Who do you main in SC6 and why?
Actually, I can play all characters but my main character is Setsuka because I like heavy execution characters.
What is your opinion regarding SC6?
No doubt SC6 is the best SC, I like the LH system too much, but the online is not as good as SC5. Hope Namco can add roll back in coming patch if still have plans for updates.
If you could change one single thing about SC6 what would that be?
Just frame version of moves should have different proper, not only added a little bit of damage or even the same (like Haohmaru’s JF BE).
What do you consider to be your greatest SC6 achievement and why?
Manage community and can travel with them to EVOJP together for 2 consecutive years.
Please answer a single question that you were not asked but you would like to answer!
Hope Namco can make the legend never die !!
Thank you for the interview!
