Soul Calibur 2, Tuesday.

~~Cantacuzene~~ · 08-25-2003, 01:31 PM

Werd.

coleslaw · 08-25-2003, 02:37 PM

Already got mine pre-ordered. Can't wait to play as Link!

mcs328 · 08-25-2003, 03:26 PM

Loved the first one. I think it's the best 3D-ish game. Better than Tekken and VF in my opinion.

~~Cantacuzene~~ · 08-27-2003, 08:37 AM

Got my copy just now. Time to play...

~~Cantacuzene~~ · 08-27-2003, 07:19 PM

SO GOOD. Best fighting game ever. Its like a superior version of the DC game. If you liked fighting games at all you had better buy this.

DaFunkyUnit · 08-27-2003, 09:54 PM

how are the controls for the GC version? is the button layout good?

~~Cantacuzene~~ · 08-27-2003, 10:24 PM

I dunno, I have an xbox. The reviews say its more difficult with the gc but once you get used to it, its fine.

sladekos · 08-28-2003, 06:28 AM

I can not imagine using that tiny d-pad for this game...

coleslaw · 08-28-2003, 08:45 PM

Friggin' KBToys just now shipped my copy. I would have gladly paid the extra cash to get it on Tuesday rather than saving 20% and getting it a week later!

Whew. Beat edge master mode. That was really quite hard. Now going through it a second time to unlock the hidden stuff. Even harder this time. Man this game rocks.

Freelance Superhero · 09-02-2003, 06:46 PM

cornmonkey brought this game home yesterday for his gamecube...

oh man, is it fun...

only thing is, yeah, the GC controls are kinda wacky cuz it's difficult to press all three attack buttons at once for the charge thingie.

other than that, man, it is mad fun...

~~Cantacuzene~~ · 09-02-2003, 09:16 PM

One of teh triggers should be mapped for the soul charge.

Freelance Superhero · 09-03-2003, 06:07 AM

yeah, found out it was the Z button... but it's still hard to pull off the kick+vert. attack button combos with the default configuration...

Eh, just map them to a C-stick direction.

The game is definitely SWEET! I only played for a few hours yesterday and I think I'm up to Chapter 5 of the Weapon Master mode.

coleslaw · 09-04-2003, 07:14 PM

I really wish that I had some friends here to play this game with because I'd rather fight someone I know than the CPU...

Which character do you guys think is the best? Personally, I love Nightmare. Link is a close second.

~~Cantacuzene~~ · 09-04-2003, 07:19 PM

I always use Kilik. He is fast, strong and has a long reach.

I love Nightmare, but I don't think he is necessarily the best. I just love doing a 360 whack and knocking an opponent out of the ring.

p3rsian · 09-04-2003, 11:56 PM

LOL
i got mine 3 weeks ago
too bad i cant be link in the xbox version

Freelance Superhero · 09-05-2003, 04:13 AM

i had no idea who to start using, so i started with raphael, and i liked him a lot. but now i really like talim; she's a lot stronger than you'd think. but yeah, i think i'm gonna try out nightmare, even tho i think his exaggerated look is kinda dumb.
