  • i have to disagree with the Weapon Master criticism. this was my first Soul Calibur game and i thought it was the best part of the game.

  • Bitches, I have all 3! >:D 

  • Who ever had the Ps2 or Xbox, Im sorry

  • its a great idea and it looks like it takes a while to edit, but i feel that this could be one of the best shows on the game station. bringing back retro games that where overlooked, could be the aim of the show. the fact that u mentioned the bouncer was sick. FYI pikemen 2 was AMAZING! the chrono trigger/cross were amazing games for the time with epic soundtracks, ie corridors of time. Or just overlooked jrpg's in general ie wild arms, xenogears etc. that ruled the 90's. BIg fan, good luck :)

  • This is the best masterpiece theater IMO. it takes a possibly overlooked game amongst the many street fighter, DOA, Mortal Kombat, etc.. his other ones like zelda is so mainstream i found myself bored cause i know everything about zelda. this one made me go out and buy soul caliber. ive watched this 50 times. It would be nice if he did some more underground games like psychonauts one of the most underrated games ever. or sid meirs pirates or something like, games mad by passionate developers.

  • Man, I remember this game!

    Link was so fuckin' awesome!

  • My god, nostalgia is hitting me like a brick wall!

  • Maxi is my best fighter link is cool kilik is cool yun seong is cool talim is cool EVERYONE IS COOL ON THIS GAME ;D

  • taki, talim, and link. i refuse to use anyone else.

  • This is the only 3D fighting game I enjoyed, I remember beating it with Link on the highest difficulty setting. Omg so much Guard Breaking at that level.

  • Eh, this was okay.

    A few minor details were wrong, and there was some problems with smugness, particularly Link. The next games weren't as bad as he says they were.

    Other than that, it did bring back some some nostalgia and I agree with points on replay value, music, and the application of SCII as a social topic. I guess I never thought of it before, but SCII was really unique in being an all-platform game everyone could talk about.

    I hope SCV can be just as revolutionary.

  • dont agree with the control issues. I played this game over and over again against my brother and never had issues with controls.

  • This game was my childhood. After all these years it's still my favorite fighting game of all time.

  • thank you! finally in years i hear some thing good about this game.

  • Cool vid. Loved this game. Necrid was my hero!

  • LINK RULES!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this was the first video game i ever played Necrid ftw

    

  • I would be THRILLED if they include Luke Skywalker and Link on the latest Soul Calibur game (> u <)

  • Wow, I look on Luke's channel for a review of this game, but since he didn't have one on his channel I just typed it into the search bar and this review just so happened to be by him! Good luck for me!

  • Mitsurugi's part was the best

  • I not only remember the game "The Bouncer" but I have actually own it!

  • Tried to watch it but your commentary kept getting muffled by you sucking a certain imaginary characters dick. (LINK)

  • whats the diffrence between sqareenix and sqaresoft

  • @blbl2222 Square enix was a merger of squaresoft and enix, but alot of people consider squaresoft to be better than square enix

  • What!? I prefer the japanese voices over the english any day!

  • im not sure! but i thing soul calibur 1 looks better !!!

  • The reviewer calls other soul caliber players noobs but i think its him lol. he says there is no point in soul charging but there is 2 ways to use it. one by backing up or as you drop an enemy to the ground. i never had an issue with controls on gamecube i had a 8 second combo with link i guess controls dont work lol. he is also wrong about people playing soul caliber 2 over 4 its better in every way. he wines about online well now you get it and you still like 2? dude u proved urself wrong!

  • i remember that game.

  • 7:26 Stomped Out!!!!!!!!!!

  • link looks like how he looks on the new ocarina of time

  • i remember that i wanted to rent this game but there was a different game inside guess what it was james bond

  • i loved the bouncers 4 player... even it was super expencive

  • the bouncer was kick A$S but soooooo hard well at the end

  • I. LOVED. THE BOUNCER. lol, good game though. Kou was my fave character.

  • I'm 15, I used to only have a gamecube. Soul Caliber 2 was my baby. Even at like 8 it was engaging enough for me to never set down, but simple enough mechanics to really kick ass. I've never sat through a 17 minute YouTube video, but this was ny first. Awesome review.

  • every month my ass

  • Episode 2 Airs Tonight folks!

  • 2:09 how do you unlock those 3 characters at the bottom?

  • mitsurugi and that old man from tekken, hehehachee or something, are sick!!!! I can't explain why but soul calibur 2 just "feels" better than soul calibur 4

  • Kratos in Mortal Kombat is going to epic hope you review that

  • 7:25

  • Awesome review KWing!

  • @theaceofspades56

    Thankyou. TGS changed the tags, now I have the most watched SC2 review on YouTube Muahahaha!

  • this was awesome please do another 'masterpiece gaming' it is really on of the most entertaining thing on the game station. Maybe you could ask for recommendations. Soul caliber was an amazing pick. as it is a series that changes. next i would say something with strategy. one of my fav's at the time was fear effect 2 but that may not be as interesting. but puzzle games these days are hella weak. a good puzzle game would be good, or the subject "puzzle games"

  • @trickykid3000

    I am doing another episode, my health has been poor and Ive been trying to decide what episode to do next. I started working on Lost in Shadows in Jan, but it wasn't a great game, heck it wasn't even in a good game. Then came Bionic Commando re armmed 2, another game that I spent a lot of time working on and didn't want to do an episode because it isn't MG quality. So it looks like it will be Little Big Planet 2, pretty sure since the game did pretty well.

  • EXCELENT

  • He sucks nintendo's balls

  • oh yeah, I played it on gamecube back in the days a lot with my roommate, it was just awesome

    and yes, the weapon master mode was great

    (my favourite was Mitsurugi btw^^)

  • WE WANT THIS WEEKLY. Daily even!!!

  • @def42024

    XD

    Hear that TGS!

    Only problem friend is I have no staff. I wouldn't be able to do this weekly for atleast a year or two. Editing the video review took about 3 days. Live action stuff only an hr. Very much appreciate the encouragement & support though.

  • It's really cool to see people like Mystery guitar man Husky starcraft. HD starcraft and now Kwing here! :O

  • @ZayanuZaroc

    Your to kind.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 Well you ARE the reason why I started reviewing games, you are a pro reviewer after all! :D

  • That was fantastic Kwing! I really can't wait to see your next video.

  • @marocel

    Thankyou. Its not going to be as uptight as the last video. Still spoofing masterpiece, but losing the suit & emotionless expression.

  • Hey kwing I have a question for you. I have a lot of weapons in soul calibur 2, but they only let me use them in weapon master mode. Can you tell me what I have to do to let me use the weapons in vs. mode and arcade mode? Great review!

  • @freutty gotta have extra mode active. look for the information online

  • @freutty Extra mode.

  • @freutty

    Extra Mode. 

  • Link is good for Zelda, out of place for Soul Calibur

  • :D

  • seriously.. 

  • There's no doubt about it; Namco and Capcom make the best fighting games.

  • Not everyone likes Link,i hate him so bad.I dont know why.

  • OMFG I OWN THE BOUNCER. last bosss fight is near impossible when your in 2nd grade! since u gotta level all your chars together or level 1 fulll.. but your not too good at SSB cuz link isnt OP in any of them at ALL

  • @hale1373 your mom can

  • Everyone Type "Won

  • @ParkKingLot Why?

  • soulcalibur 3 wasn't bad, stop being such a fanboy. go suck link's junk.

  • @VelazquezproductionS

    I'll agree that Soulcalibur III was good, but no need to go off like that.

  • To be brutally honest my friend. Xbox soul Calibur had Spawn, c'mon a hell spawn with necro blasts and ultimate fucking combos from hell, jesus christ that's a power house. Sure link was a cool asset, I didn't quite understand soul cal's star wars cross over too well, but the ultimate crossover I think is by far Kratos, The god of fucking war, with a combo that cut's an enemy's health in half in one go, and It's a moderate combo to master.

  • @kNIGHTWING,, thnx man

  • I LOVE THE BOUNCER!! that game made me feel like i was awesome after i was done playing it XD

  • Hey KWing will you do the twilight princess review on here?

  • @NintendoWorldly

    Hmmmm that would make sense, that video has been in development since I started doing video reviews. Ive told my legion of followers, summer 2011 is the debut of the long awaited TP Review. But with you like Zelda, Im reviewing Link's Awakening for Retro Mondays & the 2 new Zelda games Skyward Sword, OOT 3DS for a publication site. Don't know which one yet though. Zelda LA is debuting end of this month for RM season 2.

  • 16 min of my life wasted which i wont get back..

  • @hultaelit so t=the last 15 seconds was the best part

  • @hultaelit

    Tear

  • Soul Calibur 5 for 3DS featuring Link and the Fire Emblem cast.

  • @SupaKirbTV

    That would be really cool, Ive asked the director of Soul Calibur V, if they have plans for it. No word yet.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 You talked to the director! Kwing you are so frekin epic! Btw, maybe I missed this video.. but did you announce the winner for the contest you held? Talking about our first game?

  • @SupaKirbTV

    Why does this surprise people? Im a freelance journalist. Yes I emailed & twittered the director. If I don't hear from him, I can get GotGame to look into for me. As far as the contest, yest it over, and we are still reading through the comments to see who won. Loving all the found memories folks had & was pleased with the response.

  • @SupaKirbTV

    SWEET! I never thought to include Fire Emblem. But which swordsmen to use for the game? Marth or Ike?

  • @kNIGHTWING01 Why not both my good sir? If I had to choose however.... I would probably go with IKE he has a very powerful fighting style.

  • @SupaKirbTV

    Well considering Soul 4 had 3 Star Wars Characters. I suppose we could have 3 Nintendo characters. But IF they did Nintendo, the characters I would pick ,Samus (Zero suit) using the Varia Suit as the Critical Finish. Ike as a heavy class fighter & the return of Link, looking like his Tp incarnation.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 That idea is not half bad... I never thought of adding Samus. She would be sorta like Ivy I guess. Good thinking Kwing!

  • @kNIGHTWING01 Roy.

  • @TheTrognation

    Roy would work, but he is an older Fire Emblem character now. Most recent is Ike & Marth. Although Marth is only current because of the DS remake & his appearance in Brawl.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 lol i thought you were talking about ssb. i never really got into the fire emblem series. but my choice for smash bros is roy

  • I now need to obtain a copy of Soul Caliber 2 for GC again. @_@

  • Omg... totally forgot about The Bouncer! Loved that game!

  • I feel like the only people who don't like the button layouts on the gamecube controller are just people who were used to other controllers. I never had any of the other systems, so I was used to the gamecube controller only, and when I tried to play SC2 on other systems, I had a hard time pulling off moves I could do easily on the gamecube controller, and felt the layout was worse than on gamecube (horizontal + kick was easier on gcn a+y than on ps2 square + circle) .

  • @sakuyarules GC Controller's only bad thing was L+R.

  • @DrkZeroZX They were the best buttons ever put on a controller?!?! Are you mad?!?!

    The perfect sensitivity, that oh so satisfying click. I could press them allll day.

    The GC controller was amazing.

  • @DrkZeroZX I though L+R were great. Analog + digital functions and buttons' shape were great imo. Definitely my favorite controller of the decade.

  • @Nesveri Well, I didn't really like them. I was a pre-teen at the time and had well smaller hands, so I basically bad to bash on the L+R for them to work. -.-

  • @sakuyarules

    Well GC, lacked the extra buttons of the other controllers. Plus the game pad, was to small. I too struggled playing with other ports. But will admit, it was a very comfortable controller. Just felt that the fighting games didn't fit well with Gamecube. Everything else was fine. But for the life of me, I can't remember, how many fighters graced the cube. I think at the most maybe 25 from its introduction.

  • bouncer was only fun for its sillyness and looks

  • Prayer, has never once, in the history of humankind, influenced your outside world, and you've never noticed this, and you're how old?

  • In the beginning, Man created god

  • im trying to think of a soul calibur game that had a mode that let you build ur own fighter and go around conquering places and using an army to capture points... im tyrin to remember it cause it was so fun, im pritty sure it wasnt soul calibur 2.... any help would be apreciated cause i may just get that game again

  • @smil111yea hmm... i realize how dumb my coment was and i ask for no flamebait plz =[

  • @smil111yea it was sould caliber 3

  • @smil111yea

    Soul Calibur 3, Legends was more like a hack n slash objective based game.

  • wtf is with these muslim ads >.>

    

  • lmao link is terrible in smash bros.... in soulcaliber 2 he was annoying

  • I miss sc2. I picked up sc4 when I got my ps3 and was very dissapointed. Weapons master was awesome.

  • @kNIGHTWING01,,,dats exactly my point,,LOL. Someone really should let them know.

  • @babiboib7

    Working on it

  • well done video, i think its the best review in years. (dont mind my other comments, my phone messed up)

  • @PharrowTMP

    Thanks, but you mean my best review in years? Or one that you have seen on the net?

    Thanks for watching man.

  • when i had this game which i dont anymore link was the only character i would ever use

  • i wonder if SC5 comes out on Wii they will put Travis Touchdown as a special character

  • @shadowslayer876

    Travis is character owned by Ubisoft, so that's not going to happen.

  • majority of nerds are ugly

  • good show, but you sure r ugly! OMFG

  • @bikerox

    True, but compared to me, you look like Jack Thompson

  • ugh best fucking game ever

  • I liked 3... Why is it so bad for you guys?

  • Ya... if you ever wonder which to play, stick with Soul Calibur 2.... 3 and 4 were dissapointing.

  • Yo Luke! You've got great content, but I think you lost viewers with your little in and outro...

    Maybe just make a little title sequence for yourself and skip the fireplace and leather game binder.

  • @ColdShoulderMedia

    I don't have the Boxes for the games anymore. My Wife needed shelf space, so all my Psx,DC,Gc and PS2 games are in 1 of 6 DVD books. Each book holds 100 Dvds. I won't show it on camera anymore. The opening is a spoof to the T of Masterpiece theater, same goes for me wearing the monkey suit, emotionless expression, fire place & camera angles. Im also having a friend make a better intro, and have my friend helping me do a rock cover of the opening theme.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 I get the spoof, it's just a little over played, thanks to Will Ferrel and SNL.

    That's depressing brother! I'll build you a custom shelf for all of those, it's what makes a collection worth having!

    It might be good to try using some high quality royalty free tracks while you're in transition. Kevin Macleod might be good source.

    Like I said, good writing and content, though to keep a wider base audience, 5 minutes might be a good goal as far as editing time goes.

  • @ColdShoulderMedia

    Ive never Ferrel in that, would interested in seeing his portrayal actually. I appreciate you wanting to build a shelf for me, but Im good. Marriage is about compromise. My games are safe & organized by release date in the books. I can look into Transition music, mostly I just use game music. Sadly there is no way I could do a quality review like this in under 5 mins. Not possible. Im known for indepth and you can't do that with limited time restrictions. Thanks for the input

  • Links throw down/ throw out, was lethal!

  • Love soul calibur 2!!!!

  • The next Soul Calibur is on the way. One of the head dudes confirmed it on Twitter.

  • @Baalthazzar

    I just no heard about this, would have helped had I known about this announcement before. The review was already half done editing before Christmas. Still I need to learn Twitter better. Im contacting the directing and asking him a question. If SC V will make it to the 3DS as well.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 Just had a look again. Daishi Odashima is in charge... A hardcore SC-player since day 1, I think this is going to be good :-)

    But as much as I'd love to see a return to Big N, I don't think the Sequel will make it to a Nintendo-console...

  • @Baalthazzar

    While I think Wii is out of their range. I really believe 3DS is very possible. Especially the strong response other developers have had with Big N's new device. But will see, I asked Odashima a question about that. Let you know when I get a response.

  • Happy New Year :)

  • how they have yoshimitsu from tekken dont it have some copyright sh*t??

  • @BLu3Shuffle

    Yoshimitsu is a Namco property so he can appear in Soul Calibur.

  • @kNIGHTWING01,,,awwww man dats too bad it was a real good game,,,shame on hudson if they don't revive this game.

  • @babiboib7

    I know right, somebody needs to email them. Especially since fighters are making a serious impact again, just like in the early 90s.

  • the reason i had beef with sc 4 was with the jedis. starwars and lucasfilms built up this huge deal of how lightsabers could cut through anything. yet in the game an ordinary sword can block it instead of being chopped up. and also when you get hit with a lightsaber you lose a body part you dont just shrug it off.

  • @evilbunnyo

    I think they went with a different approach for the game. Kind of like how they made Superman weak to MK characters because of Magic. I would play a SW game based on real use of lightsabers, that would be awesome. Even the clone war games, you can't hack off limbs, unless its robots.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 Of course not.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 yeah but with the superman thing magic kinda does beat out super powers. However I would definatley play and buy a game where lightsabers are still relistic. I still play sc 2 on my gamecube every weak. Lego starwars is the closest we r gonna get with relistic sabers

  • @evilbunnyo

    Yeah Lego Star Wars is the closet we have come atm.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 yeah lol and thats pretty pathetic to say that a child's game is the closest to actuality as we can get.

  • @evilbunnyo

    I know really, although I got to admitt Lego Star Wars was mindless fun. Loved starting random lightsaber battles XD

  • @kNIGHTWING01 yah especially when your a jedi ghost and you just start stuff and no one knows what is going on.

  • the bouncer woohoo

  • Wow I really dint knew link was in it SC2 rocks

  • @TheGameStation,,great show LOL,,umm soulcalibur is a cuul game,,but is there any info about bloody roar 2? I really liked dat game it was for da playstation 1,,,is another bloody roar going to be made for the xbox360 console?

  • @babiboib7

    WOW, I haven't heard Bloody Roar in yrs. I had it on PSX & Gamecube. Fun game & great soundtrack. Sadly the series has been MIA since 2003. I don't see Hudson reviving it anytime soon.

  • eternal darkness

  • @riveaa

    That would be a great Episode for this show. But more for Oct. I like to do Horror themed games in Oct. Only exception Im making to my Horror theme reviews is Lords of Shadow, since its still considered a recent game.

  • The Bouncer was pretty bad ass

  • i do indeed remember The Bouncer ;)

  • Game Station has waaay too many shows!

  • @drmkkk

    As far as I know I only count 5 at the moment.

  • WHOA! VIDEO GAME BOOBS! AWESOME!!!

  • I actually got the bouncer for christmas last year IT WAS AWESOME!!!

  • @technojonneh

    Last year? Really? I don't even see that game used anymore. Interested to here the story how that game, came into your possession. Considering how old it is.

  • @kNIGHTWING01

    My parents went and found it in a pawn shop

  • #talim#

  • Talon has always been my face from 2 and to 4. Is link only on 64 cus I have the xbox version and it doesnt have him.

  • SNAGGLE-TOOTH

  • @goremini181

    Sorry I don't get that one.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 No, this video was extremely well done! :)

    It was a compliment. Keep it up, may man.

  • @PeaceLoveKid

    Thanks I will do my best. 

  • screw it i cant find my replied comment, granted also take into consideration every one is unique in their own way, i will say when ever i use ivy i get wiped, but i will say that asteroth is one of the hardest characters to use in the series, then 3 had zasalamel who took perfect timeing to get his combos flowing

  • @ThunderGod9591

    I don't remember your comment either, Im sorry. I think it something do with Ivy being an easy character for to me us and hard character for you? But I agree Asteroth & Zasalamel, are difficult to master. The giant's attacks give him a huge advantage though, especially from far away. The reach of his ax is terrifying. 

  • I refuse to subscribe to anyone who thinks the general perception of Link is being "overpowered" in any of the SSB games.

    I've always felt KWing was full of cheese and lower-leveled play, but this kind of misinformation is damnable.

    Although these little shots towards "other" games are nice, it all still feels very stapled down by Layne. I'm not entirely sure where TGS is heading, but I feel there should be less gimmicks (random guest features and such) and more focusing on structured goals.

  • @Icythedragon

    I never said he was OP, some do. Listen to what I say peoples -sigh-

    What do you mean Low leveled play? I play everything! Been gaming for almost 24 yrs!

    Also what misinformation? Everything except for calling Yun Hong is 99% accurate.

    I do take shots at other games, and speak to the audience its fun. Just so you know

    Layne had nothing to do with the shows format,flow, name nothing. I created the spoof

    everything. I follow the beat of my own drums. Chesseball acting was fake.

  • I own 2 on gc, 3 on ps2 and 4 on ps3 and SC2 is the best of the series imo

    btw l main link and he is B tier

  • Phantasy Star FTW

  • i wish i had this game :(

  • i love the joke weapons
