Soul calibur ii is out! - Yahoo!

[Dan Hibiki]

The greatest 3-D fighter on the planet, Soul Calibur II, has hit the arcades! It is the epitome of perfection in an arcade game, with the smoothest animation, easiest moves, most options, most freedom, AND the most depth in a fighting game to date!

DISCUSS!

I never played the first one..i hope to get the second one for gamecube, i hear its a very good fighter title.

[XX-GamBiT]

i've played the game .. but.. i think i like KOF'02 better..

[SSJKarma]

i already have SOUL CALIBER on the DC, it is really cool except they left out the weapon power struggle system, but if the second is anything better than this one, then it is really unbelievable.

it must be cool to see, too bad i don't have arcades near me !

[Dan Hibiki]

Drive as far as you must to see, to play this game. Here are some versus videos courtesy of www.soulcalibur.com.

[PARADISE-X]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :plain:

[SSJKarma]

is maxi (the guy with the nunchaku) in the game ?

if yes, then they don't follow the story cause maxi died trying to defeat nightmare !

I love soul caliber game, its as good as xmen vs streetfighter but in a 3d sense. Its going to be a classic. Soul calibur is theonly 3d that i like. other games like virtual fighter and tekken arent'r really 3d fighting games, yeah it looks 3d, but the gameplay is not because of the back direction. when u press back. you block, but in the 3d world back is walking back. not blocking.
i hope they dont F.. up astrooft, he's my favorite character. i hope they have it online for the ps2.

[SSJKarma]

astroof ???

you mean "astaroth" !

[skate919]

Its going to be a classic.
In my opinion it is already a classic.

Maxi is there, but you don't fully understand his ending. What really happened...

Maxi fought against Astaroth and killed the big guy. Now, Astaroth was the servant to Ares, God of War. Now, you can't just go kill a servant of a God without consequences. A fissure opened up the ground, swallowing Maxi and leaving his nunchakus behind (at this point the ending is accurate where Kilik and Xianghua are on his ship and cast the nunchakus in).

Maxi was paralyzed from the neck down, but was rescued by a villager and taken to a remote village. There he stayed (paralyzed) in the village until rumors of Astaroth being alive reached his ears. He called the medicine man and a concoction was made from a shard of Soul Edge to heal his injuries, but in return for his ability to move and seek revenge he had to lose something of equal importance: the concoction made him forget of his friends Kilik and Xianghua.

Now, Astaroth was brought back from the dead by Ares. He was made stronger because a human didn't create him this time; Ares himself did.

Here is a high-level skill video of the new character, the French fencer Raphael Sorel.

Two combo videos illustrating new combos that Isabella Valentine (Ivy) has out of her new whip stances.

http://media.gamecombos.com/sc2/stuff/ast-02.mpg

An insane un-techable combo done by the big man himself Astaroth. This combo is absolutely crazy and does over 90% damage. See if Asta has been ruined for yourself, MVC2.

Thanks for these videos go to tragic and WCMaxi of the official SC2 site, www.soulcalibur.com and the forum there.

Man, i hope they dont start adding cheap infinity combos. that will just ruin the game, it'll ruin any game. The only thing i wish they would add is air combos. it would mean that it would be the first 3d fighting arcade game that has aircombos like the one in street fighter,but only limited to 5 or 6 hits.
what i also like about soul calibur is their 3d enviroment. unlike tekken where all they did was put a long looping picture in the background and tried to trick us it was a 3d one. lol. but only thing i dont like about soul calibur is out of the ring.. a lot of ppl who suck likes to resort to that..
when i play tekken, i always feel like i dont have enough room or distance between my and my oponent. its like there's some kind of magnetic, every time i move back. the game pulls u back in to hitting range.. in soul calibur. its like xmen vs street where it leave u a lot of room to fight..
anyone here hate tekken but loves soul calibur. most of the ppl in the arcades play tekken but when they come over to soul calibur, they get beat down. cuz they dont have those stupid combos buttons.. some guy i know played tekken with out looking at the screen, once he hit u, u would look down at the buttons and do a pattern combo.. it was stupid..

[akuma_forever]

i have never played any soul caliber game...

what character do you guy use on soul calibur? i think 5 best are astaroth, the samuria guy, voldo, sophia, and lisard man. theres are the only 4 characters that give me a challenge when i play astroth. most of u think ivy is good but she sucks. all u need to do is step step when she uses her long wipe. and i always beat ivy users by doing that.

astaroth probably has the most and best charge move. why dont ppl every move or side step froma charge move. its like they get dumb and dont see the shiny light. i always get them with my charge grab. hehe

kikil is arlight. i haven't fought a really good and skilled kilkil player yet, most of them have no idea what the hell they are doing, they just discover moves as they go along.
as for maxi. he suck, cus his combos consist of holding forward and mashing buttons,u can easily hit him cuz he has a VERY hard time getting out of the combo DANCE. a player has to stop holding the directional pad. and hold block. i have fought and won a lot of maxi users. and yes u can be very cheap with him..
nightmare and the night guy sucks too. their moves are too limited, and the chain combos are too predictabble. with the night guy, his chain combo is. down hit, down hit. the up hit. so easy to block and after he's done with taht combo, u can just run up and grab him. the only thing they have is their poking stick.. i have played ppl where they would just sit down and poke u when u get close. its very hilarious. once u cand side step and give them a good chop in the head. lol

Hmph. You obviously have no skilled opponents around your area. Go to www.soulcalibur.com and check out the forums. Look in the Souls sections of characters and read up on advance strategies for characters. You'll find that Maxi, Nightmare, and any other character have far more depth than your opponents seem to be able to let on.

[Dan Hibiki]

Dear, while the game isn't broken as anything like Tekken 4, there are an awful lot of things wrong that have been found. At least 47 glitches have been found so far in the game... that is an awful lot. Namco is considering a patch for the game to fix them all. Some of them are BAD, like slamming a person really hard and they fall through the floor, or people teleporting back in after a ring-out.

[QUIET_KILLER]

I give that game like 4 thumbs up j/k 2 i wish i ad 4 thumbs*lolz thatgame is kool :alien: :) :p
