(I know this is going to be a Voldo landslide but there was a good period of time there where I could pwn 90% of the people I encountered with either Kilik or Taki.)

I should have included Spawn and Link.

soul calibur 2 is a wonderful thing except that nightmare is broken as fuck.
― adam, Thursday, 21 June 2007 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link
soul calibur 2 was good but left me kinda cold for some reason. SC3's environments, graphics, single-player, etc. work better for me.
― latebloomer, Friday, 22 June 2007 00:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Dreamcast SC = the best one.
― Dy, Friday, 22 June 2007 02:03 (sixteen years ago) link
Kilik. Why does Voldo get so much love? He's pretty easy to win with, because he's both fast and big...but he's not a real challenge: just mashing buttons on Voldo gets you pretty far. That's not to say that the opposite, a hard player to be successful with, is better: because Seung Mina wasn't very fun either. Kilik splits the difference.
I'm surprised to see no love for Mitsurugi, but low participation dictates that. FWIW it's my first time checking out this part of ILX.
― Euler, Sunday, 24 June 2007 10:46 (sixteen years ago) link
I've got a friend who's really good with Mitsurugi. Must take patience.
I'd have voted Taki, for easy jump-over-your-head getouts, but I guess I forgot to :(

Yoda in 360 version, Darth Vader in ps3 version? Can I have the version witout the Star Wars characters please?

I bet it'll be amusing. Link was pretty fun to use in the GC version of SC II. Admit it, you wanna try hyperflipping Yoda.

i enjoy that a game that has a generically intense and dull storyline also contains ridiculous characters to screw around with if you feel the urge
― webber, Thursday, 10 January 2008 22:12 (sixteen years ago) link
i think every single soul calibur character is more interesting than every single star wars character and that's saying something

Ivy and Voldo OTM. Ivy has the power, Voldo has the WTFness.
― abanana, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 15:54 (sixteen years ago) link
Taki and Xianghua are my best characters, although Voldo (and moreso female Voldo, whatever her name is) are really fun.
― jessie monster, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 16:03 (sixteen years ago) link
Dreamcast is the awesomest but they're all great really, pretty much the only reflex-y title I care about?
I am good with Talim in the more recent one, I used to play Xianghua a lot in the first one but she's kinda useless now. I hate Raphael so much. WE MUST PLAY THIS ONLINE GUYS.
― Gravel Puzzleworth, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 16:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Dreamcast version of the original Soul Calibur will be released on XBOX Live in a few months.

THIS SOUNDS BAD...
1UP: How will you acquire these special weapons? Will you unlock them in the game or will you have to purchase them as downloadable content?
KS: We have several different methods for acquiring these weapons and armor: Some will be unlocked by playing through the game, while others will only be available as downloads.
THIS SOUNDS GOOD!!!
1UP: Your team definitely appears to be having fun with these Critical Finish moves...we saw Cassandra's and it involves her planting her butt on your face amid an explosion of giant pink hearts.

― Ste, Monday, 4 August 2008 14:46 (fifteen years ago) link
i have the 360 version. yodsa kind of sucks. but that's to be expected for a gimmick character.
― latebloomer, Monday, 4 August 2008 14:49 (fifteen years ago) link
yoda
so how badass is this, because the reviews have been like 9/10 but it's nothing new over sc2 except killer gfx
― Euler, Monday, 4 August 2008 15:02 (fifteen years ago) link
The create-yr-own-character mode is awesome because it gives me the ability to play a Talim-style character without having to actually play as a 10-year-old girl. Also the story mode is great, largely because I had huge chunks of the mythology totally wrong (for example, I though Ivy was evil...?) and also because of the awesome Siegfried/Nightmare endings. The new characters are kind of bizarre but cool (although too many are yelpy) and Darth Vader actually plays pretty well all things considered.
― HI DERE, Monday, 4 August 2008 15:05 (fifteen years ago) link
Thanks! That sounds really good. How is the tower of power thing? the reviews make it sound interesting.
― Euler, Monday, 4 August 2008 15:09 (fifteen years ago) link
I was thinking of getting this but tbh i realise i'm not a huge fight fan, and i rarely played the prev versions.
i can imagine the online play would be a visual fest of my arse getting kicked forever.
― Ste, Monday, 4 August 2008 15:14 (fifteen years ago) link
just got this!
― cutty, Monday, 4 August 2008 15:22 (fifteen years ago) link
I just started ascending the tower; it's very reminiscent of the awesome quest mode in SCII, which means I like it a lot. It's a tiny bit aggravating that you have no idea what conditions will unlock the unlockables until you've met them, though.
― HI DERE, Monday, 4 August 2008 15:44 (fifteen years ago) link
ok cool. I only played through the quest mode in SC2 earlier this year, but it was totally fun.

Man, SC IV really came and went didn't it? I remember when SC II's release was such a big deal - the last two seem to have really fallen out of the spotlight.
― Nhex, Friday, 16 January 2009 20:16 (fifteen years ago) link
It's on both X-Box and PS3 and each has their own extra Star Wars character added (X-Box has Yoda, PS3 has Darth Vader). I don't know about X-Box but I know you can buy and download Yoda for PS3 because that's what I did ^_^
Taki/Kilik/Siegfried are like my all-time yoga-flame triumverate.
― ^likes black girls (HI DERE), Friday, 16 January 2009 20:18 (fifteen years ago) link
it came out while everyone i no was still fuckin with GTA's crimes and prostitutes i only really started playing it much like a month ago. which is to bad - i'm only a third done but its waaay hotter than its been given credit for
john i have it on the xbox but its on PS3 as well

just ignore that part of it the rest of the game is totally rad Scheherazade's story alone justifies the game

Played a little IV tonight - it really is an amazing looking game. I wish it had a tutorial mode :(
People seem to still be playing it! I tried the online mode (ps3) and got a surprisingly lag free game in about a second.
Any good guides online? I might try to put some time into finally learning a bit (at least until BlazBlue and KoF 12 come out).

Geralt and 2B much more apt guest characters than the darth vader bullshit the older ones had
― ciderpress, Saturday, 27 October 2018 16:18 (five years ago) link
I bought this last week. The fighting is a lot of fun, but the lack of variety in the stages is seriously disappointing. The epic backdrops were always a huge part of the fun of these games for me. The eleven here are nicely rendered but fairly generic. With the Libra of Souls mode you really get tired of seeing the same forest backdrop over and over. >:(
