I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

I have got a copy of Soul Calibur 2 waiting for me at FutureShop right now! I'm gonna go get it. I'll tell you all about it later!

Psh, then you don't really have it do you? What a misleading thread. :distress:

I picked up Soul Caliber 2 yesterday, and i have to say that it is an awsome game. My fav character is Link, then the pirate guy, then kalim, or whatever her name is. Neways, its hardcore action, and the weapons master mode is really cool, lots to unlock, defenitely worth the purchase.

Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

I think it really stinks that they made an exclusive character for each system that you can't get on the other systems. I really wanted to play with Spawn.

Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

spawns rather boring. Played him at the store a couple days ago when i picked up SC2 for PS2,

not to say tho that link and herheshicadodo, are much better. I dont like any of the 3 exclusive characters, none of them really fit in with the game.

my fav is Maxi

I've been playing it a lot today. (I really do have it)

Link is a pretty good character. When you get his megaton hammer it really gets fun.

Kilik is an awesome character too. I'm currently playing through the weapon master mode as link.

Overall it's a kick ass game

Heh, I got to Dylflon's house the same time the game did. Now THAT is killer timing. :p

Yeah, it's a really awesome game. I still don't like the buttonmashing but it's a fun game overall. Very kickass.

Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

buttonmashing is the next best thing to knowing what your doing
but yeah it is a great game

And Yoshimitsu from the Tekken series is in it!

Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

well. dont button mash then. :p a player that knows the moves and knows what he is doing can slaughter a button masher.

Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

You would think ,but somehow in Soul Calibur, a button masher can fluke a win or so.

If you challenge an expert over a few goes, he will kick ur ass

My friends bought the game, so I should get a chance to play it soon. Hopefully this Saturday if I get to come over.

Must play as Link, even if he sucks.

Link is good. I think he's the cheapest character in the game.

Re: Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

I remember the last time a game was this big and accused of being a button masher was Tekken 3. Egm did a "study" of sorts. They pulled like a dozen people in off the street who had never played video games before and had they take eddy or paul (two of the biger tekken masher characters) and had them go up against the best tekken players in the office. They played ten rounds each and were told to just pound on the controls and not a one of them was able to win more than 2 of 10 matches.

Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

Yeah I think I read that in a review, Link is the only (?) ranged character..

Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

I got spawn. hes ok but necrade(dont know how to spell his name im not looking at it)is cool he has a combination of different charactors moves.

Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

Naw, Kilik has pretty good range. He has a really long stick he hits people with.

Re: Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

EGM said necrid is the cheapest. being able to imitate many of the other characters moves.

i still like Maxi best. more i learn on him more i like.

Whats the best you guys have gotten on Survival?

just tried that for the first time got 7. but i know i can do better then that. damn Ivy's reach with that damn whip.

Re: Re: Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

He is cheap, but hes still fun to play with =-D

My friend played the arcade version and said it was sweet... he said he played conquest mode, but i don't think it's on the console systems... he sayd that yoshimitzu was the best... with the flea hopper trick... funny. before this game came out, i had no idea what that stupid thing was... i thought it was a taunt...

Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

its out for all three systems nintendo has link as a special charactor,x box has spawn,ans playstation has that guy from the tekken series(I forgot his name).all the charactors are pertty cool in there own way. The only thing that would make it better would be fatalitys(mk series rules)

Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

i kinda like what it has.

it gives you a bit of time after the KO to simply kick and punch your enemy, kinda rubbing it in. or do a big grab move which in itself is almost like a fatality.

sometimes i just keep kicking the guy to edge and push him over. :p

Re: Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

im not sure why but i like voldo alot he can be quite cheap

Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

Yeah, he's got arrows. It pisses me off because you try to do a soul charge but Link over there is knocking you off. Very annoying.

And of course you wouldn't straight-button mash with this game, and yeah, it is luck sometimes, but it's still the most vulnerable game to it. But it doesn't hinder at all, really.

Re: Re: Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

Well I can tell you that I've challenged many button mashers @ Kof, and they have basically NO chance of beating an expert (like me).

The other day me and my friend teamed up and we got 38 wins in a row (against other experts of course).

And i'm not making that up :D

I bought the game and it completely met my expectations. The fighting is deep as usual with many things to learn from each character. Sometimes the battles get heated up alot and kinda looks like a coreaography (sp?) from a movie. There's so many reversals and stuff. I've always like this 3d fighter best. :burger:




PD: Why the heck did Namco give that Berseker freak seven costumes but left Ivy only with two. And that's not to say that her second costume is lousy as hell. :mad2: :mad:

You might be able to unlock more. Dylflon bought more costumes for other characters like Nightmare and Taki.. I'm sure there's more for Ivy.

Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

Ohh, well! Thanks, I hope they included more for her. Now, unto the next rant. WHY THE HELL DIDN'T THEY MAKE CGI CINEMAS FOR THE ENDINGS? And don't anybody tell me "look at DOA3 and see if they're any good" because SC has what DOA doesn't, and that's a great story line. The game is great, but they didn't improve things that were obvious.

Yea Nemesis. I just bought Ivy's 3rd costume. It's okay. It's certainly better than the one that makes her look like a man. Asteroth's 3rd outfit is so damn cool.

Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

Ahhh, not only did you agreed with me but you also used the same expression I did (Makes her look like a man). Proves that Namco just didn't know what the heck they were doing when they made that costume. Now, I supose I'll stop my ranting before I turn this into a thread about buttocks and how good/realistic the polygons look (And they do look good. Err... I mean... crack's effect is wearing off, time for another dose.)

Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

Damn, every store is sold out of the GAMECUBE version! I hate when there's a video game I want and it's sold out! :mad:

Re: Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

Thats why you preorder.

Re: Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

They probably only made 5 copies out of fear of losing money...

I liked Soul Calibur 1, but PSM says Soul Calibur 2 isn't any better than Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution, which has a much deeper single player mode that will keep you busy for longer than SC2's weapons master thing and only costs 20 bucks... But I have no money anyways and 1 fighting game is enough for me...

But the problem with VF4: Evo is that it gets too damn hard and you might end up with a broken DVD case like me :sneaky:

Re: Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

Try Zellers. Nobody ever looks there for video games. That's where I found Vice City when supposedly there were no copies available.

Re: Re: Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

I rented it on Fri. I've commited myself since it was announced that Link would be a character to "master" him. and after using him for about 2-3 days now, I'm pretty good with him.

Re: Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

Get more than just a gamecube. :)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

Jon you should play jeff and I at it. I would so Pwnz0r you!! But then again I also played in the arcade like it was a religion.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

Like I've said already....next time I'm at Jeff's, I will play. Since I don't own the game (physically), I only have 2-3 days of experience with the game.:p

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

Yay! I went back to Target today and they had it!

In your face! ;)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: I have Soul Calibur 2!
 

HA I still had it the first day it came out. THANKYOU HERO2
