Soul Series (Video Game)	comment	All spoilers pertaining to the first timeline of the series (Soul Edge to Soulcalibur V) will be unmarked. You Have Been Warned!The Soul series (unrelated to the "Souls Series"note Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne and definitely not related to Soul Reaver) is a series of 3D weapon-based fighting games created by Bandai Namco Entertainment's team Project Soul, arriving shortly after the success of its other 3D fighter, Tekken.In 16th-century Eurasia, rumors persist of a legendary sword of heroes known only as "Soul Edge". Only a few know that Soul Edge is actually an evil Artifact of Doom with an insatiable thirst for human souls. Some warriors seek Soul Edge without knowing the truth, whereas others seek to destroy it or capture its power for themselves.To counter Soul Edge, an opposing sword of light was created: the spirit sword, Soul Calibur. When these two swords first clashed, Soul Edge was shattered into pieces and Soul Calibur fell dormant. Now, the shards of Soul Edge are seeking to reunite, oozing corruptive power that bestows misfortune on all who encounter them. An epic final battle between the two opposing swords is now fast approaching, with the fate of the world at stake.The series began in the mid-'90s with Soul Edge, one of the first games to feature three-dimensional combat where every character holds a weapon. Control is mostly similar to Tekken and Virtua Fighter, where characters can move along the three-dimensional plane and can be knocked out of the ring if they were careless. However, unlike its contemporaries, where controls are taken straight out of 2D fighting games (move towards or away from the opponent, upward directions jump, downward directions crouch) with limited sidestep capabilities, the directional controls allow the player to easily move in any of the eight basic directions. Characters can also deflect each other's weapon attacks, or break them and render them useless if hit enough times.Soul Edge, though mildly successful in arcades (and on the PlayStation as Soul Blade), was largely overshadowed by Soulcalibur, which revamped many of the original game's aspects, including the three-dimensional movement, character combos, and timing, and completely removed the breakable weapon aspect. The Dreamcast port of the game rebalanced the gameplay and overhauled the graphics, becoming its system's Killer App in the process. It is often placed among game critics' "favorite games of all time".Soulcalibur has since spawned five sequels, which have been ported to a number of home systems. Starting from II, the series would begin making use of Guest Fighter characters from other franchises, most notably Link, Darth Vader, Yoda, and Ezio Auditore, among others. A spin-off Action-Adventure title, Soulcalibur Legends, has been released for the Wii; IV has also been ported to the PSP as Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, which guest stars Kratos, the God of War.note Despite Ares being a character in the series.Soulcalibur: Lost Swords was released on February 6, 2014 in Japan and on April 22, 2014 in North America. Lost Swords was a single-player, online-only, free-to-play title distributed through the PlayStation Network and based on Soulcalibur V, the goal of which was for the player to collect loot through battles. Players could imbue the weapons with elemental properties, such as fire and wind. Virtual item sales were also offered. Lost Swords has since been shut down on November 30th, 2015.On December 7, 2017, Namco Bandai announced the next installment of the series, Soulcalibur VI, which is at least in part set during the events of the original Soulcalibur. It was released on October 19, 2018 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.As of Soulcalibur III, the series title seems to be Soulcalibur in a reference to Excalibur. The series underwent change in direction after this point. Soulcalibur V was directed by Daishi Odashima, who said he wanted the game to be named Soul Edge 2, but was rejected. In December 2013, the series again changed project direction, and Masaki Hoshino took over as head of Project Soul, leading development of Lost Swords and Unbreakable Soul. At some point he also left the team, resulting in Tekken 7 producer Motohiro Okubo stepping in to lead development of VI.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_108c268e	type	Hotter and Sexier
Soul Series (Video Game) / int_108c268e	comment	Hotter and Sexier: From Soul Edge to Soulcalibur IV, the girls all saw an an increase in breast size and skimpier outfits to match. There's also characters like Ivy, Taki, Sophitia, Cassandra, and Setsuka who have always been fanservice staples and got even sexier with each game. This picture sums it up nicely◊. Inverted in Soulcalibur V, the game notably dials the fanservice down a notch. Ivy was much more modestly dressed (even moreso than the first game), while all the other girls were replaced by much smaller-chested, more modestly dressed successors. But then it comes back full force in Soulcalibur: Lost Swords. All the girls that were replaced/removed return, fanservice and all. But that doesn't cover the new costumes in customization such as the ultra-risque "Rabbit Football", "SC Woman", and "Mystery Armor". Even their advertisements reek of Sex Sells, and it's starting to put Dead or Alive levels of focus on the female cast. Played straight with mainline Soulcalibur again in Soulcalibur VI, a Continuity Reboot that marks a complete reversal of the Tamer and Chaster direction of V and also brings back every girl who had been dropped from the cast previously.

Played straight on one occasion in Chapter 16 Carrying On A Legacy. There is one stronghold in the game where falling to the floor means instant death. And your opponent is a Level 60 character (Zasalamel). Thank your lucky stars that he isn't immune to the stage's effect, unlike other occasions in the game.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: IV has many formerly-good characters — not to mention the pure Soul Calibur — take a swing into the dark side. These include Sophitia (forced to protect Soul Edge, with deadly force if necessary, to save her daughter's life), Maxi (driven to wield Soul Edge to destroy Astaroth by Tira), Taki (her ending has her murder Siegfried to prevent his attempt to create a utopia going horribly wrong), and Siegfried himself (his own storyline presents him as becoming increasingly suicidal, and his ending implies that Soul Calibur may have frozen the entire human population in crystal stasis, not to mention killing him). Soul Caliber itself is depicted as, in fact, evil. V deals with the massacre and persecution of those who are and are accused of being "Malfested." Original-Cassandra in VI reveals that the events of V are a Bad Future that should be avoided at all costs. Traditionally a lighthearted character with an unusual fighting style and a grandoise air, VI presents Yoshimitsu as a tragic man who is nearly consumed by his grief and desire to avenge his slaughtered ninja clan, only narrowly managing to turn away from the abyss before he falls in. He growls to his enemies that "(his) hatred for them has turned him into a demon", and it's entirely possible that he wasn't speaking figuratively.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_17501df2	comment	Made it past Cervantes? Congratulations, a lesser player would have snapped their controller by now, but here's where the fun really begins. Your fifth opponent is Edge Master, who uses Alpha Patroklos's moveset (i.e, Setsuka's moveset). All he has to do is block a single attack and that's it, you will be punished with either a combo finishing up with his Critical Edge which can be pulled off pretty much any move due to how fast it comes out, or a Just Frame Sakura Twister which he can do twice in a row and deals incredible damage for a combo finisher. For many, this is the breaking point, but there's two more to go, and the next is even more terrible than him...

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_177a6464	comment	Genre Shift: The Chronicles of the Sword sub-game in III mashed strategy and fighting together. That is, unless you're strong enough to crush multiple enemies outright. There is perhaps one Chronicle in which strategy is needed: Chapter 8, City Of Coffins, the first half of which is a rescue mission. It's often impossible to do anything else in some levels, as the enemies favor rushing you (while it is their best option, as this forces you to face everyone at once and you can't recover between them, it tends to make the rest of the map fairly boring).

This was later disproven in the official sourcebook. The implication is that the narrator was voicing Patroklos' interpretation of the event, similar to how Jin believes Jun to be dead despite Word of God saying only that she's "missing"/"in hiding."

In fact, II, III, and IV all take place within the same year. Averted in the first three games, which took place in real time, as the passage of years between the plots (3 and 4) coincided with the games' initial releases (1995-1998-2002). Also averted with V, which takes place 17 years after IV. Especially silly in the story mode of III, which has the characters travelling back and forth several times between Europe, Asia and northern Africa, which in their age should have taken many years.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_23be181a	type	Patriotic Fervor
Soul Series (Video Game) / int_23be181a	comment	Patriotic Fervor: Figures into the backstory for all of the Korean characters in the Soul series. Hwang is a soldier in the Imperial Navy seeking Soul Edge in order to stop Japan's invasion of his country. Seong Mi-na is trying to prove that females can be as capable soldiers as male recruits, and Yun-seong's out to prove his worth to Hwang and his country. In later games, they realize that the sword is evil and instead fight to destroy it, with the side goal of proving the nation's strength. Yun-seong, in his III pre-boss fight (the one where you fight someone who has to do with the character's backstory), has him walking into the room, taking one look at Mitsurugi, whom he has never seen before, and yelling something along the lines of "Enemy of my homeland, prepare to die!" Ivy also exhibits this, but visually. In her IV costume, her shoulder pauldron and the various metal clasps on her costume incorporate the Tudor Rose of England motif, which is a traditional symbol of her native England and also probably serves as a medieval example of Wearing a Flag on Your Head. Hilde: "My people give me strength! For our homeland!"

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_24224f64	type	GunsAreUseless
Soul Series (Video Game) / int_24224f64	comment	Guns Are Useless: While in-story the advent of rifles making swordsmen obsolete is a plot point, guns are quite useless in gameplay: The only firearm in the game (Cervantes' "pistol sword"); while the strongest attack that uses it deals decent damage (between a 4th and 3rd of health), it is very telegraphed, and can be dodged by simply moving to the side once. Back in II, the only attack that involved it was a weak, easy to miss, anti-air attack grab (which is as useless as it sounds). (Of course, the game does take place in the 16th Century; firearms were rather primitive back then.) Ezio's hidden pistol in V is even more useless than Cervantes's pistol sword. While unblockable, it takes a whole second to fire (although he can cancel it if needed). Mitsurugi's character arc in the earlier games is to find a way to combat firearms. Initially, he thinks that finding Soul Edge is the key, but he ends up evolving his own sword techniques to defeat riflemen without the cursed sword. His non canon input ending from Soul Edge has him defeat a Tanegeshima musket wielder in a duel by dodging the first shot and charging him while he's reloading, while the intro movie to Soul Calibur 2 shows him charging an army and cutting a rifleman's weapon in half, showing his progress from his defeat at the hands of the Tanegeshima. By 3, gun wielders no longer concern him.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_2536f695	comment	Not to mention that "main universe" characters can be exploited, if you know what you're doing. Note that losing still gives you experience... just have one guy protecting your base (particularly one you're good with), send the rest to fight the level 60. Sure, you'll likely lose easily, but you'll see them gain levels EXTREMELY fast. Not to mention beating said character gives the biggest level-up chain ever for that point. This can quickly become a Game-Breaker.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: Supposedly, this game takes place during the mid-to-late Renaissance, but there are certain aspects of the series that never really conform to a single real-world era. You have the costumes that cater to Rule of Cool and Rule of Sexy than historical basis or combat utility, the Clock Punk and Steampunk elements that appear in things like Yoshimitsu's prosthetic limb and the big carousel in Hilde's home kingdom of Wolfkrone, you have Sophitia's dress sense and religious beliefs... Design-wise, some of the cheongsam inspired clothes the Chinese characters wear shouldn't exist yet.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_259dd888	comment	Set Swords to "Stun": Everyone just ends up knocked out at the end of any bout, despite the fact things such as being hit vertically by gigantic axe can happen during the fight. Siegfried even reassures his opponent that he "avoided [their] vitals, [they'll] live" in III regardless of the fact that his weapon, a BFS in all senses of the term, doesn't really have the necessary precision to avoid doing anything but catastrophic damage to an opponent. IV gets the most extreme with this as opponents can be hit by honest-to-goodness lightsabers and leave both their weapon and body unblemished. However, as stated under Bloodless Carnage, in the series canon the weapons do real damage and characters have died from wounds suffered during duels.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_2823fd4d	comment	Oddly Common Rarity: There sure were a lot of ways for characters to stop aging, something that was billed as unique. Of all the returning characters, the only ones who aged were Siegfried, Mitsurugi, Hilde, and Voldo. Compare that to Ivy, Cervantes, Maxi, Kilik, Edge Master, Tira, Raphael, Dampierre, Algol, and Aeon. They do get around this with Nightmare, Astaroth, and Yoshimitsu, as they are technically different characters but share the same identity. This was one of the reasons why V was hit with a backlash — they aged so few of the returning characters yet still cut out fan-favorites like Taki, Talim, Setsuka, and Seong Mi-na for "being too old."

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	type	Awesome, but Impractical
Soul Series (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Unblockable attacks look very cool, wreathing your weapon(s) in flames for the duration of the attack and darkening everything on-screen aside from the fighters and the HUD, and usually do a good chunk of damage. However, that duration tends to be a few seconds before the attack is actually pulled off, allowing players who notice the attack to generally dodge it with ease. And then punish the attacker right after with an attack of their own. Some of these attacks (such as Ivy's heel drop) leave the attacker open during the prep stages, too, making it very impractical unless the opponent is on the ground. They're really more for threatening a guard-happy opponent, as every character has at least one, and most are easily cancelled. IV fixes this by giving the characters several different types of unblockable attacks: Some are incredibly weak but come out quickly, others are done after combos to confuse the opponent and others cancel into stances and other attacks. Soul Edge in II and III often carries elements of this; while generally more powerful than any other weapon, most of its side effects are negative compared to the many more useful abilities offered by Soul Calibur or other weapons. This is notably absent in SCIV, except for certain forms which have the detrimental abilities Slow Feet and Evil Sword Berserk attached. In IV, Algol's 214A+B and 4B+K are awesome when they work, but they never will in a serious match. Nightmare's A+B and his 236A+B are also really cool, but are terrible moves. In V, Aeon's Critical Edge consists of knocking the opponent down with a Screw Attack, sprouting wings, flying up in the air, and breathing fire over the downed opponent. However, it's one of the least damaging Critical Edges, the fire breath attack can randomly miss due to a bug (which sometimes results in Aeon ringing himself out), and is punishable on hit by certain characters. The Critical Finishes from IV can only be pulled off in very specific situations: you break your opponent's armor, force them into Soul Crush, then hit all four face buttons while they're reeling back. They're harder to pull off than it would seem, not least because the Soul Crush is hard to predict, and hitting the opponent even once before pressing the four face buttons will end your chance to perform it. Broken Destiny does simplify this to the point where they can be practically relied upon now. Each character now has a unique Guard Break attack done by hitting all three attack buttons, and landing one while the opponent's Soul Gauge is flashing red automatically triggers a Critical Finish. Soul Crushes are easier to force by mainly attacking blocking enemies and breaking their guards.

One of the chronicles after the Mantis War has your unit fighting off a "rebel" attack that's quite heavily implied to be yet another assassination attempt sent by Emperor Strife. If the dialogue between him and Chester at the start of the level and your squadmates' remarks about the "rebels" acting strange don't set off any red flags, the fact that their commander wears Grandall colors probably should.

Magic did exist, with Soul Edge having been there from the the start, and a few other factors like Sophitia getting her skills from the Greek Pantheon, Taki being a demon hunting ninja, and Inferno as the final boss were there, but it was largely downplayed in favor of making the roster and setting feel like products of the real world. It wasn't until later installments really played up the magical elements did the series become the Fantasy Kitchen Sink it was known for.

Namco fell afoul of his notorious trademark squatting when they released Soul Edge, prompting them to rename the PlayStation port "Soul Blade" in the US (it retains the Soul Edge name in Japan both in arcades and console). Going forward, the entire series was rebranded as "Soulcalibur" to avoid dealing with this kerfuffle again.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_3731d33c	comment	I Got Bigger: Almost every character experiences height growth as the series progresses.Very wonky, because several characters get taller past their mid twenties. Siegfried is the biggest offender because he grows in almost every game for an timespan of at least 7 years and after IV, he grows a whole 4 cm after the age of 23. That would mean he grew for at least 10 years when the max time a person grows in their growth spurt period is 6 years. Mitsurugi stops growing for a whole four years, and in V, he grows two centimeters extra.Also, this only extends to the men. Only three women, Seong Mina, Hilde and Amy have experienced growth. All but three men, Raphael,Yun-Seong, and Maxi have experienced height growth. One gets the idea that either Retcon is in play to heighten up the characters when the designers feel the character isnâ€™t tall enough and a sense of favoritism for the male characters

What separates her from the other characters with stances is that she can't actively switch between them, and changes after she performs a successful combo on an enemy. The change is marked by a gold yellow flash if changing to Jolly or a dark purple flash when changing to Gloomy. Also, the latter state actually damages herself with every move. While the damage is tiny, using Gloomy could potentially knock you out without the opponent landing the final blow.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9	type	Early-Installment Weirdness
Soul Series (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Soul Edge features concepts like the Weapon Break meter and Critical Edge combo, stuff that was never revisited in later installments of the series. It also lacked the 8-way Run movement system that would become the trademark of the later games and as a whole, was slower and played closer to Tekken 2. A move called the Critical Finish showed up in IV, but seems to be unrelated. The Critical Edge itself returns in V. In Name Only. The Critical Edge in V is a conventional super move, governed by a gauge, instead of a long string of attacks. The Critical Edges in Soulcalibur V are actually quite similar in principle to the ones in Soul Edge/Blade. The original Critical Edges were essentially Tekken-style 10-hit combos, but rather than using a long complex 10-part input string, they consisted of two half-combos with an a single input for each half. Pressing all three attack buttons initiates the first half of the combo, and a second (character-specific) input finishes the combo if pressed during the final hit of the first half (shown here with inputs). In V, only Algol's Critical Edge still functions in this manner; the rest of the cast use a single universal command. Additionally, both versions of the Critical Edge consume meter when performed. The key difference is that in V, the meter starts at zero and has to built up during the fight, as is common for super-combos. In Edge/Blade, the meter starts full, as it doubles as the weapon's defense/HP gauge, and is reduced by blocking attacks or performing Critical Edge; if depleted, the weapon will break and the character must finish the round unarmed. In a sense, the Brave Edges (enhanced versions of particular moves comparable to the EX Moves in Darkstalkers, Street Fighter, and the like) could be seen as faint spiritual successors to the first game's Critical Edges. Similar to above, characters have a Weapon Gauge of sorts in V as well, which is similar to the Stun gauge in Street Fighter and other series. Repeatedly guarding attacks will eventually cause their guard stance to shattered, leaving them completely defenseless for a brief moment. The Weapon Gauge resets immediately afterward.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_52475ffd	comment	Cutting Off the Branches: Every character's ending inevitably has them doing something with Soul Edge and/or Soul Calibur. The setup for Soulcalibur (and by extension Soulcalibur VI) assumes multiple elements from characters' endings. Li Long lost a fight with Cervantes that left him gravely wounded, seemingly dead in fact until III confirmed his survival. Sophitia was Cervantes' next opponent and despite a valiant effort where she managed to destroy one of the swords, she too was left badly hurt. Then Taki appeared, quickly finished Cervantes off and carried Sophitia away to safety. Siegfried came seeking the sword and defeated the possessed corpse of Cervantes after a brief fight, and took the remaining sword, becoming Nightmare. Also, Mitsurugi lost his duel against the Tanegashima rifleman, leaving him with a gnarly gunshot scar and a renewed desire to find Soul Edge. II assumes elements of Xianghua's, Kilik's and Siegfried's endings. Xianghua and Kilik confront Nightmare at Ostrheinsburg Castle, and Kilik wins his fight against Nightmare but shatters his mirror in the process. When Soul Edge becomes Inferno, Xianghua's Krita-Yuga reveals itself to be Soul Calibur, the holy antithesis of Soul Edge, and Xianghua uses it to defeat Inferno and sunder Soul Edge, shattering the cursed sword into pieces. The castle crumbles and Kilik and Xianghua have to abandon Soul Calibur in their escape. With the destruction of Nightmare, Siegfried regains his sanity and control of his body after facing his dad in a dream and making peace with his father's spirit and his past sins. III takes the basic setup from Nightmare's ending and also includes elements of Raphael's ending. Siegfried's freedom from Soul Edge's influence was short-lived and he became Nightmare again, travelling the world to gather the pieces of Soul Edge. Meanwhile, Soul Calibur had been corrupted by the presence of the cursed sword and become a weapon of similar evil. As Nightmare's quest neared completion, Raphael appeared and challenged Nightmare for the cursed sword. Just as Nightmare stood at the cusp of victory, Raphael pierced Soul Edge's eye with a desperate last attack, and Nightmare became wracked with pain. Siegfried's consciousness used this moment to regain control of his body, seize Soul Calibur (freed from Soul Edge by Raphael's attack) and plunge it into the eye of Soul Edge, locking the two swords into a Soul Embrace that sealed away both of the swords' powers.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_529a3369	type	Fights Like a Normal
Soul Series (Video Game) / int_529a3369	comment	Fights Like a Normal: For much of the series, there were many characters with magical ties and could in theory be capable of different abilities beyond that of a normal human. However, with a few exceptions, almost all of the cast fought without using any of their potential powers and relied solely on their skills with their weapons. For example, Zasalamel in the lore is portrayed as a sorcerer capable of many different feats of magic but in-game however, he just uses his scythe as a normal blade. In IV and V, characters will only use special abilities when using a Critical Finish or Critical Edge, though we don't know how much of that was just for show. This is finally and completely averted in Soulcalibur VI. Due to Gameplay and Story Integration, any character who has ties to magic will use their magic in a fight alongside their weapons, and each of them tie specifically to their backstory. It's not just for show either, as they are true mechanics and not simply visual effects; the aforementioned Zasalamel can create vortexes, manipulate gravity to draw his opponent in, and even slow down time to gain a temporary advantage.

Siegfried and Nightmare are fought in their incarnations from IV, right down to wielding that game's version of Soul Calibur and Soul Edge. Cervantes uses a modified version of his second costume which turns him into a mass of flames trapped in a suit of armor, similar to his first appearance as Inferno. Averted with Algol, who has no notable changes as the final enemy of the route.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_5fc1c4b5	type	Mechanically Unusual Fighter
Soul Series (Video Game) / int_5fc1c4b5	comment	Mechanically Unusual Fighter: Several. Generally, the less normal a character is the higher chance of an unusual style they'll have. Both Voldo and Dampierre's main attacks largely involve being able to block due to their stances, be they facing away from the enemy or being downed on the ground. Yoshimitsu has a number of different quirks befitting his status as a Fighting Clown, and each one of them could've made him an example all by itself, but combined he takes it up to eleven. For one, he has by far the most moves in the game. Many of them do little more than confuse the opponent, but mastering each stance is what separates the best from the average. While other characters have stances, his are by far the most unique as they include sitting, flying while using his blade as a helicopter, and bouncing on his sword like a pogo stick, and all of them give him additional options. He's one of the few characters capable of self-harm with moves that Cast from Hit Points, even having an enhanced dodging mechanic that can get him out in a pinch but at the cost of his health, and he even can stab himself with a move... and take the opponent down in the process. Some of his moves can even harm himself if performed incorrectly, meaning that there's no margin of error when using them. Others are reliant on baiting the player and thus must be timed right, and this is in a series that doesn't feature an active counter system. Oh, and he's also the only character who can heal himself mid-match. Finally, he can make full use of Teleport Spam to further confuse the opponent. As you can tell, Yoshimitsu is what happens when someone with Combo Platter Powers is made into a fighting game character. Tira has a Stance System with her "Jolly" and "Gloomy" states. What separates her from the other characters with stances is that she can't actively switch between them, and changes after she performs a successful combo on an enemy. The change is marked by a gold yellow flash if changing to Jolly or a dark purple flash when changing to Gloomy. Also, the latter state actually damages herself with every move. While the damage is tiny, using Gloomy could potentially knock you out without the opponent landing the final blow. Algol doesn't play like a standard fighter in the series. For one, he doesn't use a standard weapon, but rather his body. He can create up to 10 different weapons, which includes Arm Cannons (making him the only standard character with a long ranged projectile), a Blade Below the Shoulder, blades that can be summoned from his back, just to name a few. He's one of the few who can teleport (alongside the aforementioned Yoshimitsu), which he does via a stance that involves sitting in his chair. Algol's variety of weapons means he can be Difficult, but Awesome; though he's tough to master, he can rush down his opponent, deal heavy attacks, and engage enemies trying to flee with Spam Attack. Soulcalibur IV has Star Wars characters as guests. Darth Vader, Yoda and The Apprentice have their own "Force" meter that governs how much of their Force power they can use at once, and thus players must be mindful of them. On the other end, they have access to a whole new subset of moves that the rest of the cast doesn't have. Yoda in particular is an example of his own, since he's much shorter than everyone else, which means mid and high attacks flat out don't work on him, nor can he be grabbed. On the flip side, Yoda is painfully slow when using standard movement, and must use combat rolls and his own attacks to traverse the stage. Soulcalibur V introduces Z.W.E.I. and Viola. On top of the two being unusual aesthetically (looking like fantasy characters in what is supposedly a historical setting), both of their playstyles involves multitasking. The former must balance out normal combos with his minion E.I.N., and knowing when to summon the spirit wolf is absolutely crucial to his style of play. The latter uses an orb that the player actively controls and assists her during her attacks, while the orb stays where it was last placed, so the player must be mindful of where it is at all times. V also gives us Devil Jin as a style exclusive to created characters. Thing is, Devil Jin doesn't use weapons at all, instead relying on his fists. That being said, the style gives the character Flight and Eye Beams, and combo potential in line with the Tekken series. Basically, apart from the Critical Edge, the style plays like Devil Jin transplanted in Soulcalibur while losing nothing along the way. Kilik in Soulcalibur VI mostly plays like his usual self from the past games, but with one major change. The return of the Soul Charge mechanic, which gives most of the cast extra moves and the ability to hurt enemies even as they're blocking. The effect is almost universal for each fighter. For Kilik however, his Soul Charge triggers his Possessed State which increases his overall damage output, gives him new moves, and a completely new Critical Edge, which makes him one of two characters with two different versions of the attack. As a trade off, it will actively drain his health, and unless one has high health to begin with, there's a huge risk versus reward factor in initiating the super.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4	type	The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard
Soul Series (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4	comment	The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: The A.I. of III blatantly reads your controller inputs, leading to things like a nigh-100% success rate in parrying basic throws (where there should be a 50% chance of failure), the ability to guard impact any attack, and never reacting incorrectly to any mix-up or cancelled attack. This makes anti-AI attacks a necessity to use, especially near the end of Chronicles of the Sword mode, where the AI operates on a higher level than the game's maximum difficulty! There is one challenge in II where, in order to get to one of the special areas, you have to break your opponent's guard within a certain amount of time. Taki re-guards too fast after breaking her guard. IV has the Tower of Lost Souls. Notably, it's not just in gameplay mechanics; the A.I. gets a number of unique character skills that are far more powerful than anything the player can ever get, up to and including near-100% automatic Guard Impact! Back with a vengeance in V (at least in Legendary Souls mode and the harder opponents in Quick Battle). In addition to reading inputs, being immune to mix-ups, and abusing its own lack of needing input by executing complex moves faster than a human could ever do it, this A.I. will also flawlessly space your characters (staying close to long range characters and keeping away from short range ones) and perfectly confound all attempts at horizontal containment.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_60ea0814	comment	Soft Reboot: Soulcalibur V jumps ahead seventeen years later after the original series, replaces many of the regular characters with successors, removes others, and has a different storyline compared to previous games. In fact, the game's director Daishi Odashima originally wanted it to be called Soul Edge II, in order to mark his new direction for the franchise. However, with director Odashima gone and the series promoting pre-time skip characters, it's anyone's guess if his changes will stick. Soulcalibur VI is a more direct example of a series reboot. According to director Motohiro Okubo, the game is to be set in the events of 1586, or in other words, the events of the first Soulcalibur. The team decided to reboot the series in a hope to re-engage old fans and to attract newer fans. Which makes the Wham Shot of Original!Cassandra stumbling out of a time portal all the more shocking.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_62259825	comment	Nintendo Hard: Soul Edge. So much so that the original arcade version was recalled due to the final boss (SoulEdge, better known as Inferno in the sequels) being impossible to defeat due to moving faster than the player could counter. Whilst in the home version, the A.I. was less difficult in Arcade Mode, Edge Master Mode — with its specific requirements — could be ridiculous at times, offsetting the lowered difficulty. This all was in part thanks to holdovers from Tekken 2's A.I. design; while characters could sidestep, a mechanic not present in T2, Soul Edge retained its sister series' tendency to make CPU-controlled opponents evade/block moves in any way they could. There was a significant decease in difficulty in later Soul games, though Soulcalibur III's Night Terror and Soulcalibur IV's The Apprentice brought back the controller-smashing frustration of the first game, to say nothing of higher-level opponents in IV's Tower of Lost Souls or the entirety of Soulcalibur V's Legendary Souls.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_6320eced	comment	Gameplay and Story Segregation: In the game, any character can beat any other character depending on skill. In-story, some characters are portrayed as being clearly out of the weight limit of others. For example, Nightmare is portrayed as being practically a One-Man Army that can obliterate entire armies all on his own, and only a few others could seriously give him trouble in the lore. Yet in the gameplay itself, for balancing reasons, he's a Mighty Glacier that's strong but slow, and characters with canonically far lesser power can beat him with enough skill on the player's part. Depending on the game, you can unlock Soul Edge as a weapon for any character. It might have some negative effects like random stats or depleting your HP, but it will not actually drive your character insane unless they pick it up in a cutscene. In fact in some cutscenes, you can get the amusing spectacle of your character destroying Soul Edge using another Soul Edge, or tossing their Soul Edge aside having suffered no ill effects from holding it to pick up the enemies' one and only then becoming corrupted by it. Changing weapons no longer changes anything gameplay-wise to the characters in V. So characters acquiring Soul Edge and powering them up does nothing in their matches.

It's also noted that he has clashed with the Warrior King Algol and perhaps was the one person who fought Olcadan to a draw. Especially enforced in Soulcalibur V, where he is the only character able to mimic every style, while fellow mimics Kilik and Elysium can only copy male and female fighting styles respectively.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_72cdfc33	comment	Big Bad Ensemble: While Nightmare is normally the main villain of the series, Soulcalibur V has three separate entities competing for the title. The first is Graf Dumas - the new Nightmare - who uses politics, manipulation, and the power of Soul Edge with the goal to Take Over the World using his army of malfested slaves. The second is Tira, who wishes to resurrect the old Nightmare by using Pyrrha as a vessel, viewing the current one as a fraud, so she can reign chaos just as the original Nightmare did. The third is Elysium, the living incarnation of Soul Calibur, who wishes to destroy Soul Edge and bring absolute peace to the world — regardless of the consequences. Behind the scenes is Algol, who serves as the Greater-Scope Villain. How this all would've come together is unclear, due to the fact that only 1/4 of the story made the final cut of the game.

He only does it once, for non-gameplay reasons. In his ending in III, if he meets up with Taki then he will have taken Soul Edge away from the last fight, and it will manifest into his in-game weapon while he still has the sword that he used since the beginning of the Tales of Souls story mode.

He also has a unique weapon for the Katana discipline of Character Customization, the Kokuenra. Beating him allows you to use it as well...

Darth Vader, Yoda and The Apprentice have their own "Force" meter that governs how much of their Force power they can use at once, and thus players must be mindful of them. On the other end, they have access to a whole new subset of moves that the rest of the cast doesn't have. Yoda in particular is an example of his own, since he's much shorter than everyone else, which means mid and high attacks flat out don't work on him, nor can he be grabbed. On the flip side, Yoda is painfully slow when using standard movement, and must use combat rolls and his own attacks to traverse the stage.

Since all three are alive and well in V, Tira's story can't fit in the main timeline either way. Zasalamel's story in III either ends with him successfully using Soul Edge and Soul Calibur to become mortal, or it fails and he Goes Mad from the Revelation.

(You'll notice that everyone was more modest in cup size back in Soul Edge and Soulcalibur, although the non-canon Legends nullifies that where Taki, Sophitia, and Ivy are concerned.) When Project Soul's director Daishi Odashima released an official height and breast size chart on his Twitter account prior to V, seven of the eleven playable females in IV were at least D cups (though they appear to have recanted where Hilde is concerned); the only ones who didn't qualify were Seong Mi-na (slightly smaller than Tira), Xianghua (who makes up for her more petite bust with junk in the trunk), Talim (who's 15), and Amy (who is even younger than Talim and likely prepubescent). Part of this falls under Depending on the Artist, as Takuji Kawano (the lead character illustrator from II to the current day) tends to draw the women larger, regardless of how chesty they really are (such as Tira and Viola). Like the clothing choices themselves, the new additions in V backtrack on this; of the five girls joining vets Ivy, Tira, and Hilde, only Pyrrha and Elysium are noticeably endowed.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_8871bbd8	comment	III has several. First off, the aptly-named Night Terror. He has Eye Beams that can kill you in one hit, a stance that renders him immune to damage from most attacks, Nightmare's moveset with even more stupidly high damage and reach, oh, and you can't beat him with a Ring Out because he'll just fly back into the ring? What about Colossus, a giant stone statue you sometimes fight in Sophitia's stage? He can't block (you're just hacking away at his shin) but he has a huge life bar and half his attacks have Guard Break or Unblockable and ridiculous range that can yeet you off the stage in a Ring Out even if you're hit in the centre of the ring. Oh, and if you do knock his HP to zero then he has one last trick where he can crush you with his body if he falls on top of you and this counts as his win because the announcer only declares him defeated once he's nose-down in the dirt. There's also Keres, a story mode-only character who is Immune to Flinching, which also renders him immune to most throws and knockback and allows him to wail on you since you can't interrupt him.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_89a17726	comment	Spell My Name With An S: Seung Mina and Yunsung? You mean Seong Mi-na and Yun-seong? The title of the series since Soulcalibur has been subject to this a few times, evidenced even by this very wiki. At first, it appeared to be two words like the titular sword (i.e. Soul Calibur), up until Soulcalibur III, where it became one word (which in turn retroactively affected the titles of the previous games). The official website supports this spelling, although you'll still see Soul Calibur being thrown around, as well as SoulCalibur due to the title font for every game other than III, Legends and Lost Swords. All of this, of course, excludes those who spell the name of the game as "Soul Caliber."

One of Xianghua's attacks when she is on the ground has her throw a tantrum. Dampierre is prone to falling in some of his attacks (when intended), and blocking will often get him to fall over in pain. In fact, in The Gauntlet, he's constantly accidentally activating his daggers into his own flesh. In Broken Destiny, the first assassin sent to try and kill you is so clumsy that your character allows themselves to get hit, out of pity for her.

Will Power requires the player to be in critical status (low health) and causes the character to glow red when active. It sharply increases the user's stats for the remainder of the round. Hysterical Strength only requires that the player's health drop below half and only offers a boost in attack power, noted by a greenish yellow glow when active. In V, if a player is one round away from losing a match, they receive one free meter stock.

This happened earlier with Siegfried, who also started out as a self-serving jerk unable to take responsibility for his own actions. Like Pat, he slowly matures into a force for good, although his character progression involves him tangling with a loss of lucidity to truly horrific extents and taking several more games before his transformation into a man looking for penance finally culminates.

He also has a unique weapon for the Katana discipline of Character Customization, the Kokuenra. Beating him allows you to use it as well...

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_9475b606	comment	Yoshimitsu has a number of different quirks befitting his status as a Fighting Clown, and each one of them could've made him an example all by itself, but combined he takes it up to eleven. For one, he has by far the most moves in the game. Many of them do little more than confuse the opponent, but mastering each stance is what separates the best from the average. While other characters have stances, his are by far the most unique as they include sitting, flying while using his blade as a helicopter, and bouncing on his sword like a pogo stick, and all of them give him additional options. He's one of the few characters capable of self-harm with moves that Cast from Hit Points, even having an enhanced dodging mechanic that can get him out in a pinch but at the cost of his health, and he even can stab himself with a move... and take the opponent down in the process. Some of his moves can even harm himself if performed incorrectly, meaning that there's no margin of error when using them. Others are reliant on baiting the player and thus must be timed right, and this is in a series that doesn't feature an active counter system. Oh, and he's also the only character who can heal himself mid-match. Finally, he can make full use of Teleport Spam to further confuse the opponent. As you can tell, Yoshimitsu is what happens when someone with Combo Platter Powers is made into a fighting game character.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_9e2f6378	comment	SNK Boss: Soul Edge from, um, Soul Edge. Do you like fighting Cervantes? How about a much tougher Cervantes that can teleport and use flying unblockable attacks? It can take several attempts to beat Soul Edge and the original arcade had to tone down the difficulty just for his fight because he was nearly impossible to beat. There is also Tanegashima, from Mitsurugi's story, who also qualifies because he's got a rifle already primed and loaded and pointed at your face when the fight starts... and if you don't dodge the fast-moving projectile within a split-second of the match starting, he hits you with an unblockable One-Hit Kill. II has Inferno, a final boss who uses random movesets from other characters, has a deceptively large lifebar (three times bigger than a normal characters'), a damage bonus, a special throw that knocks off half your health in one hit, and he changes movesets when reduced to 2/3rds and 1/3rd of his lifebar. If he weren't so susceptible to throws, he'd be a complete joystick-snapper. III has several. First off, the aptly-named Night Terror. He has Eye Beams that can kill you in one hit, a stance that renders him immune to damage from most attacks, Nightmare's moveset with even more stupidly high damage and reach, oh, and you can't beat him with a Ring Out because he'll just fly back into the ring? What about Colossus, a giant stone statue you sometimes fight in Sophitia's stage? He can't block (you're just hacking away at his shin) but he has a huge life bar and half his attacks have Guard Break or Unblockable and ridiculous range that can yeet you off the stage in a Ring Out even if you're hit in the centre of the ring. Oh, and if you do knock his HP to zero then he has one last trick where he can crush you with his body if he falls on top of you and this counts as his win because the announcer only declares him defeated once he's nose-down in the dirt. There's also Keres, a story mode-only character who is Immune to Flinching, which also renders him immune to most throws and knockback and allows him to wail on you since you can't interrupt him. V offers you Legendary Souls Mode. Remember Score Attack? You fight SEVEN nightmarish bosses one after another controlled by a demonically-possessed AI that seemingly reads your inputs and reacts with unbelievable timing, doesn't allow you to so much as breathe once it goes on the offensive, and always, always performs Just Frame attacks perfectly, allowing them to pull off disgusting combos that are nearly impossible for master players. Let's run down the list: First up, you got Kilik. Normally he's a mimic character who can use random movesets. Here, Kilik sticks to Xiba's (originally his moveset) and combos you like a maniac the moment he's able to get an opening with ambiguous mixups, and doesn't stop for noone. Not content to just beat you with Xiba's tricks, Kilik also uniquely uses some of his old signature moves as well. Second, you have Nightmare, wearing a special IV costume. He'll always have you beat on reach and can take away 50-70% of your HP with Brave Edges and a special command throw for when you are downed. Your third opponent is Siegfried, also using his costume from IV. Siegfried acts like a combination of Nightmare's insane reach and power with Kilik's confusing mixup game, while also being a Stone Wall. Good luck here, he'll ring you out several times while you wail against his defences. Opponent No.4 is Cervantes, decked out in a costume that makes him look like Inferno. Fortunately he's a bit easier than Siegfried, but your jaw will drop when he shows how to juggle you with instant strings of Geo Da Rays/Psycho Crushers for mental damage. Made it past Cervantes? Congratulations, a lesser player would have snapped their controller by now, but here's where the fun really begins. Your fifth opponent is Edge Master, who uses Alpha Patroklos's moveset (i.e, Setsuka's moveset). All he has to do is block a single attack and that's it, you will be punished with either a combo finishing up with his Critical Edge which can be pulled off pretty much any move due to how fast it comes out, or a Just Frame Sakura Twister which he can do twice in a row and deals incredible damage for a combo finisher. For many, this is the breaking point, but there's two more to go, and the next is even more terrible than him... Now for Elysium, using Pyrrha Omega's moveset, or Sophitia's style from IV if you are unfamiliar. Welcome to the hardest boss of all the seven, the lowest and hottest pit in the Legendary Souls Tartarus. Elysium's take on Sophitia (who it bears noting, was top tier back in IV) is even faster and more dangerous than she was before with an astonishing mixup game, spamming Angel's Strike (her gut stab) like it's going out of style, and she always finishes it with a Just Frame. In addition, just like with Kilik, Omega Pyrrha's style gains some of Sophitia's old and best moves with special properties exclusive to Elysium. And if that wasn't enough, she has an exclusive 20-hit, full-screen Critical Edge she'll unleash on you with any opportunity and at the worst possible moments. If you manage to get to the seventh and final opponent, you might be shocked to see a familiar face - it's Algol, but he's taken fashion advice from Gill. This time he's gotten smarter and he doesn't accidentally ring himself out anymore, and he's not as tough as Elysium before, but don't underestimate him: he's a force to be reckoned with if allowed to build up some meter, spamming Brave Edges and Critical Edges with sadistic abandon. And if Algol is feeling nasty, he might save up his meter and use it all at once. Nothing quite says frustration like a 10-hit touch of death combo where he flips you like a beermat and you can do nothing but lie back and take your beating like a good soldier. Orrrr he might unleash his Complete Critical Edge at full meter which is among the most damaging single hit moves in the entire game. He's not quite as oppressive as Elysium, but don't let the bastard gain momentum, or you will regret it.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_a1e69878	comment	Ditto Fighter: Edge Master, Charade's II incarnation, and Olcadan. Inferno also acts this way in his appearances, save for his very first one (where he was just a pumped up Cervantes named SoulEdge). In II, he switches styles in the middle of the fight and has a super move regardless of style. In V, Edge Master returns as a mimic character, along with Kilik and newcomer Elysium. The difference between the three is that Edge Master can mimic all characters (except for Ezio, Algol and the Devil Jin style) while Kilik and Elysium can only mimic male and female characters respectively. Additionally, Kilik gains back his Kali-Yuga and some of his old moves with his rod if copying Xiba. Elysium, if using Pyrrha Omega's style, alters it to more closely resemble Sophitia's in past games. She's also the only one of the three to possess her own Critical Edge (usable regardless of who she's currently mimicking).

In the story mode of III, this becomes the excuse for having a character use Soul Edge or Soul Calibur. Abyss will toss his scythe at you, requiring a quicktime event to block it. If the character is scripted to end up fighting with one of the Soul weapons, the strike will break the weapon the character is holding no matter what, and then one of the Soul weapons will be launched at the character, which they pick up to finish the fight. For an ultimate evil weapon, Soul Edge itself is surprisingly fragile. Several characters are shown to be capable of smashing to pieces it in a single blow during their endings. Canonically, it's been destroyed by Taki (One half anyway), Xianghua, and Siegfried. Mitsurugi and Siegfried can destroy it in no less than two games.

Sophitia's overall look and design is more evocative of Ancient Greece rather than 16th-Century Ottoman Greece with her Hellenic style skirts, togas tops, laurel-leaf hair decorations. There is also the fact she worships the Greek Pantheon rather than Eastern Orthodoxy, just like in real life though this is admittedly noted to be an anachronism in-universe.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_b4a947fa	comment	Temporary Online Content: Sometime around possibly Late 2016/Early 2017, the DLC for Soulcalibur IV has been delisted from both respective console stores in all regions (Playstation/Xbox). This also includes the digital Xbox 360 version for unknown reasons (although back in the day, full games for PS3 digitally weren't a thing yet until the Early 2010's, so no digital PS3 version never happened). Although no official sources mention anything about the delisting besides word of mouth by some social areas/forums for Soulcalibur. Fortunately, the game is still available physically, but those looking to have a complete character roster will be sadly attuned that the DLC characters for Darth Vader and Yoda are no longer available (although, this isn't the first time a fighting game with DLC and the digital game gets removed, that honor goes to some of the titles in the Capcom vs. series).

Voldo gets a particularly honourable mention since, thanks to his incredible speed and moving like as though his skeleton is made out of slinkies, even his own player will need practice to figure out what exactly he is doing. The rock-paper-scissors-style game mechanics (guards and sidestepping can only null certain types of attacks each) encourage mix-up tactics in general.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_b797948e	comment	Ass Kicks You: Cassandra's Critical Finish, where she literally knocks her foe over with her rear end, then proceeds to violently sit on her opponent's face, the second time using her shield. There is some lampshading when she calls out "You like this kinda stuff?" while she's doing it. Not to mention all the pink hearts. She also has an attack that involves flinging herself butt-first at the enemy (which is her longest-range attack). Rock does this too. Even more disturbingly, Voldo does this, although not as a Critical Finish. Like her sister, Sophitia has two or three of them as well. And Pyrrha continues the tradition.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Gameplay-wise, most of the new additions and systems in V come from Daishi Odashima being a fan of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. The Just Guard system, however, is more or less the Just Defend system from Garou: Mark of the Wolves. The whole Time Skip setting of V seems to be a Shout-Out to both games. That or Tekken 3. Several characters in II have costumes that reference characters from other video games: Mitsurugi's 2P costume makes him strongly resemble Haohmaru. Sophitia's bonus costume is a shout-out to Princess Ki. Cassandra's bonus costume is a shout-out to the eponymous heroine of yet another Namco game, The Legend of Valkyrie. Voldo's bonus costume looks a lot like an Alien. The design was later used for ghosts in Namco's Ghost Hunter. Ivy's bonus costume is a shout-out to Anna Williams. Raphael's IV 1P costume resembles Alucard. Iska in Legends mentions learning/using alchemy in some of the dialogue sequences; he's even voiced by Edward Elric in both Japanese and English. In V, there's a Quick Battle opponent named Diego Umeharez, as in Daigo Umehara. More specifically, it's the screen name used by a Mexican Daigo impersonator. However, being ranked D4 by the game, he is not hard to beat. Another Quick Battle opponent is called Kerrigan, is from the United States, and has the title "Leg Crusher"... Sure, it's a switcheroo, but does it sound familiar? One particular shout out is the part before Natsu begins a battle, one of her lines is "Man, what a drag." Siegfried plays homage to Nordic folk hero Sigurd; his namesake is Sigurd's German counterpart (in-universe, this was deliberate on Frederick's part when it came to naming his son), one of his extra weapons is named Gram, and Siegfried even squares off against a dragon by the name of Fafnir in Legends. Coincidentally (or perhaps not), the eight members of Hilde's all-female royal guard in IV note CAS characters Gerhilde, Siegrune, Waltraute, Schwertleite, Grimgerde, Helmwige, Ortlinde, and Rossweisse, the last three becoming Malfested due to an attack on Wolfkrone by Nightmare prior to the events of the game are named for eight of the nine valkyries from Die WalkÃ¼re, with Hilde being partially named after the ninth, BrÃ¼nnhilde. In V, the story where the new male protagonist has the new female protagonist until her betrayal. It looks familiar in the Scenario Campaign for Tekken 6. Yoshimitsu's Iron Fist Possession move has him do a randomnote less random in recent titles since it's partly based on the timer move from a character in Tekken like Paul's incomplete somersault kick, Jin's Power Stance and a Kazuya Lightning/Lightning Screw uppercut. Also counts as a Bilingual Bonus since Tekken is Japanese for Iron Fist. Also Tekken Possession Siegfried's alternate look gives him a haircut that makes him resemble Cloud.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_c9e5a0db	comment	Legacy Character: Nightmare is the name of the wielder of Soul Edge, and there have been three hosts so far in the series. The original was Siegfried, who was freed from being the host at the end of II. In III and IV the host was Inferno himself, thanks to Zasalamel bonding the demonic entity to Nightmare's discarded suit of armor, but it was destroyed by Siegfried at the end of IV. The third is Graf Dumas, who arose seventeen years later and became the ruler of Hungary, and it's heavily implied that Dumas is actually Raphael. The original Astaroth was slain by Maxi in IV. The one that appears in V is part of a mass-produced line from another cult. Yoshimitsu was already established as a legacy with Tekken, and this is enforced in V where the original was slain by Cervantes sometime after IV, and the one appearing in V is a new man behind the mask. He even makes sure to introduce himself as Yoshimitsu the Second.

In a similar vein to KOS-MOS is Devil Jin in V; his fighting style is available in the gamenote while unlockable, can be obtained fairly early (upon reaching Player Level 5, which frankly is an easier feat than beating Harada_TEKKEN), and Jin's outfit is available via DLC in the first Tekken-themed pack. Product Placement: Adding the Apprentice from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a game that was going to come out a month after IV, was totally this. Also, a bunch of anime/manga designers were hired to create an original character — and by "original character" we mean "they look different." Each of their individual fighting styles are copied from another character. They don't even have their own voice sets (using the ones from Create-a-Character mode instead), although several of their lines are unique to those characters.

Once Soul Edge regains enough power to take a new host, the cycle repeats, and it's been going on for millennia with neither weapon being powerful enough to fully destroy the other.

What happens each time? The sword just breaks into pieces (each one every bit as evil as the whole sword) and eventually reforms itself, stronger than before. Now, what happens in every ending where the Soul Edge wins instead? The world gets hosed, that's what. Even worse, in IV, we learn that Soul Calibur is actually just as evil, but with a penchant for order rather than chaos.

It can take several attempts to beat Soul Edge and the original arcade had to tone down the difficulty just for his fight because he was nearly impossible to beat. There is also Tanegashima, from Mitsurugi's story, who also qualifies because he's got a rifle already primed and loaded and pointed at your face when the fight starts... and if you don't dodge the fast-moving projectile within a split-second of the match starting, he hits you with an unblockable One-Hit Kill.

Failing to input the right command usually results in the character getting tanked by a sneak attack at the expense of health and, in one case, affects the outcome of a battle between two other NPCs during endgame. Likewise, each character's ending in ToS abides by the same principle, although the consequences there range anywhere from comedic to fatal. Earlier in the franchise, Soul Edge used QTEs to determine what ending you get in Arcade mode. However, you weren't told what button to press. Special mention goes to Seong-Mina's ending in III where you must match several QTEs in succession.

Story Mode (in III and V) features a world-map of Eurasia that the fighters traverse. This, however, is all juxtaposed with the use of "magic" powers (especially in the Critical Edge super moves where energy emissions are fired off), as well as fantasy creatures such as golems (Astaroth) and animated skeletons (Revenant). It all works rather well, though, and it doesn't cross the line too much into Dungeons & Dragons territory. Although arguably V has taken the series into the realms of High Fantasy — despite retaining a real-world map, two of the new characters (Viola and Zwei) use weapons and fighting styles that are completely fantasy-based, namely a floating crystal ball and a floating were-wolf torso respectively...

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_eaf5a1ac	comment	Groin Attack: Several examples. Sophitia's infamous "Widow Maker" throw, where she grabs her opponent and rams her knee into their crotch at full, pelvis-crushing force. Hilariously, if her opponent is male, she underscores the strike with a genuinely sympathetic-sounding "I'm sorry!" Both her and Cassandra are also known to attack using their groins. Seong Mi-na has multiple variations. One has Mi-na thrust the spear between the legs and raise up to slice the groin, another has her vault onto her opponent's shoulders, take them to the ground, and thrust down into the crotch. Kilik will also use the first attack too, though small mercies, he's not using a blade. Dampierre, the vicious bastard he is, uses this as his back throw, the "Distinguished II Capitan": pushes the opponent to the ground, raises their legs, and just keeps kicking and stomping there before finishing with a strong kick to the tender area. Ivy as well. She has a stomping move. If performed on a downed opponent she rubs the tip of her foot on them. This counts if her foot lands on their groin, which is almost guaranteed to happen if they're lying face up. This is quite similar to a move of Nina's in Tekken.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_eb7c34cf	comment	Crossover: II includes Heihachi, Spawn, or Link, depending on which console you use. IV includes Star Wars characters Darth Vader and Yoda, as well as the Apprentice from The Force Unleashed. note Yoda was initially exclusive to the Xbox 360 version, while Darth Vader was originally exclusive to the PS3 version; both eventually became available as DLC for the other version. Starkiller has always been available in both versions. V actually includes a character who makes sense within the context of the series' story and time period: Ezio Auditore, from the Assassin's Creed games. Well, story maybe, but time period, most certainly not; V takes place over a century after Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood, wherein Ezio is in about his 30s; ergo, he should already be dead by the time the game's story rolled by. And, even considering Assassin's Creed III had been released before V, having Connor as a Guest Fighter wouldn't normally have made sense, as he would only be born about 50 years later (same century, different timeframe). The backstory explains that Shawn Hastings deducted a jump in Ezio's timeline thrusting him about 100 years into the future and then back again after he found a artifact. So the same could happen to Connor, AltaÃ¯r or Edward if the Animus malfunctioned again. Also, Heihachi's appearance in II is explained by him having found a shard of Soul Edge in a dig site which thrust him back in time — he'd only return after beating Inferno.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_f0508c08	type	Decomposite Character
Soul Series (Video Game) / int_f0508c08	comment	Decomposite Character: Siegfried and Nightmare. In the original Soul Blade, Siegfried appeared as the main BFS user and story-wise he only became Nightmare at the end. An early version of Nightmare, titled "Siegfried!" appeared as a bonus costume. Then in Soulcalibur, they were largely Moveset Clones with little variation, and Nightmare was the evil Brainwashed and Crazy version of Siegfried. In Soulcalibur II, Nightmare replaced Siegfried entirely. Due to lore reasons however, Siegfried became separate entity from Nightmare, having broken free of Soul Edge's grasp, but the Nightmare persona itself remained due to Zasalamel using his sorcery to bond the armor to Inferno, thus allowing him to operate without a host. This marked the beginning of Siegfried and Nightmare being officially separate characters, with greatly diversified movesets and lore. In all appearances onward, the two are completely different characters, despite starting the same.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f	comment	Wake-Up Call Boss: Luna's first appearance in in Chronicles of the Sword (Chapter 4, Battlefield Moon). Before this chapter, the A.I. is passive and fairly weak. Now they will rush you on multiple fronts with overleveled troops and there is a "main universe" character on the field for the first time (in this case Astaroth; he is level 60 when you are 5 at best, learn to avoid them). Beating them all makes you feel badass. But, if you have enough skill, then you can overcome the level gap and defeat all of them, even without the use of A.I. breakers, because despite being competent, they don't use any of the A.I. special tactics too much, meaning that they are as defeatable as an average human player. Not to mention that "main universe" characters can be exploited, if you know what you're doing. Note that losing still gives you experience... just have one guy protecting your base (particularly one you're good with), send the rest to fight the level 60. Sure, you'll likely lose easily, but you'll see them gain levels EXTREMELY fast. Not to mention beating said character gives the biggest level-up chain ever for that point. This can quickly become a Game-Breaker.

Equipping heavy armor covered in spikes would move you pretty far to the Evil side, where your character's dialogue would be aggressive and unrepentant.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_fc7c4f92	type	Canon Immigrant
Soul Series (Video Game) / int_fc7c4f92	comment	Canon Immigrant: Sort of... A character named Yoshimitsu appears in all five Calibur games; he's similar to the Yoshimitsu from Tekken, but may not be the same person. According to his story, "Yoshimitsu" is actually the name of the sword he wields, as well as a title given to the strongest Ninja in his clan (the Yoshimitsu in Soulcalibur is the founder and the Yoshimitsu of Tekken is the current leader); the personality and fighting style are adopted to give the impression that he is immortal (Legacy Immortality, as popularized by The Phantom). However, Yoshimitsu is the same guy in the first four Soulcalibur games, as his story makes constant references to his development in past games; he is replaced by a new swordsman (who refers to himself as "Yoshimitsu the Second") in the events leading up to V. The Tekken games all feature a single Yoshimitsu as well. The Tekken 3 booklet's bio of Yoshimitsu says something like "He may have existed since the 18th Century." If this is true (it's mentioned nowhere in the NTSC-U English manual), it's only an addition of the English translator, as no such mention appears in any of the Japanese profiles. Staying within the confines of the series itself, we have Hwang and Arthur. In both cases, the characters were conceived as alternates to Mitsurugi for the Korean market (who have a high distaste for samurai due to their bad history), Hwang for Soul Edge and Arthur for Soulcalibur. Later on, a second revision for Soul Edge was released and Hwang was canonized as a real character for all regions and given his own story. Likewise, in III, Arthur was given some back story and added as a bonus character. Arthur has little relevance to anything in the narrative but Hwang has been a prominent player through the first two titles.

Soul Series (Video Game) / int_fd4f8299	comment	Well-Intentioned Extremist: Raphael's life was saved by a little girl named Amy. After they appear to get vampiric symptoms, he attempts to change the world by spreading it since it doesn't accept them, as opposed to attempting to cure themselves. Zasalamel can be seen as this in IV, since in order to attain his goal of "leading humanity into a bright future", he's more than willing to torture, murder, or destroy the life of anyone, either for obstructing him or because it helps move his plan along. Soul Calibur itself is a holy weapon created by Algol to keep the evil Soul Edge sword in check. However, the sentience granted to Soul Calibur has allowed it to come to the conclusion that the world is full of chaos and violence and the only way to save humanity from itself is to crystallize the world and all its inhabitants.
