Well, at 100% soul calibur is very slow everywhere at any moments.
When i push it to more than 150%, i can play normally without a moment lag on about 80% of the game.
Drop the directx renderer and wait for an opengl one
(OpenGl can't render some effects but can emulated them far more quickly than directx. It also has a better system that makes polygons render in a pyramidal form, wich increases the speed)
