God this was amazing back in the day. I used to go with mates and play in the arcade every Saturday. It still has one of the best intros. As others have said its seems that the series just doesn't have what it used to. Heres hoping they can re kindle the flame with the imminent release of 5.
@Dayntei its understandable if you were too young or werent intrested at the time, but those of us who grew up on SCB and SC, its a bitter pill to swallow the..changes that have taken hold of the series in recent years.
what a huge fucking joke this series has become. the original soul blade is arguably the greatest fighting game ever, and look at the new additions. fucking star wars characters? is this a fucking joke?
the stupid dickheads who first made this game have now ruined a classic. fuckers.
@LOLGONK unfortunately what you're saying is completely true. it's just a shame that they sold themselves short with adding those star wars characters.
I just can't help but feel the sequels pale in comparison. I don't need the other games. All I need is this. Forever a memory deeply entrenched into my childhood that made it special. All of these years later and it still has not gotten old.
I love this game! This, Tenchu Stealth Assassains,Tekken and GTA were the first games I bought when I first bought my Play Station.Ahhh...the good ole days!!
This was my first game to the series and I fell in love with the story and characters. I don't care what anyone else says. Soul Edge / Blade is the original and best of the entire series.
@ajshim My nephew just picked up Soul Caliber 4 in the bargain bin for the 360 and it's terrible. The story mode is almost non existent compared to soul Blade and the whole graphics package is worse IMO. It may be more shiny and rounded, but the levels and characters were much better in the original.
@82nickbrad Soul Blade was literally AMAZING. I also thought that SC, SC2 and SC3 were also AMAZING, but I hated SC4 for many reasons, mainly because I though that putting Star Wars characters in the game was wrong. Now Namco have seem to have destroyed the series further by setting SC5 17 years later which means that my favourite female characters such as Taki, Sophitia, Seung Mina and Xianghua will not appear in that game as they will now be too middle aged to be in it now.
@7039TS As you say, they killed it off by adding Star Wars characters to the game, how the plot can be taken seriously is beyond me, i shalln't even take a cursory look at SC5.
Best intro ever! Wanna play THIS game, although it has several successors! This is how to make a game intro! Tekken 2 has also a decent one! These were Namco's golden years!
I remember being late for school playing this game! Lol yes back in those days it was all about Seung Mina! I miss this game I have many happy memories playing this game.
i know this is kind of cheating, but they should reuse this theme in the next soul calibur... but in order to use this theme, the game will have to be THE soul calibur ultimate fighting game.
@Gaaralver2damax what are you talking about, back then that was SUPER ULTRA ADVANCED CGI ACTION SCENES... doesn't stop it from being awesome, just saying
@PWNProductionsSE Ikr? I bought a Naruto Ultimate Ninja game expecting it to be a traditional high quality and passionate fighting game. So why does the camera not even follow me ACROSS THE SCREEN WHERE I CAN'T EVEN SEE MYSELF. I thought I bought a fighting game, not a first-person shooter.
I remember the demo disk that came with my original Playstation had this great intro. I couldn't help but to eventually buy the game without knowing anything about checking reviews etc, being a pretty young noob living in a country that didn't even have an internet access lol.
I loved this game to maximum and I wish they bring it back on PSN.
I can't believe 2 games from the same company (Namco) and year (1996) have the best intros I know in gaming. I mean Tekken 2 and Soul Blade (Edge). Especially when the intros by Namco are usually pretty awful in general, apart from these two masterpieces!
the earlier soulcalibur games were the best, but soulcalibur iv is a disaster. they're lots of list of awesome games on he psx, and all i have to say is rip psx
@Bath29 Im playing this rite now (original PSX disc) on my PS3 Slim. I got 14 of 15 characters and i got all weapons for 4 of 10 characters in Edge Master Mode. This game still the shit and still tough and fun.
i was watching this amazeing video and i was surprised so see ghostrider at the very end of it, as i didnt know he had a ship aswell as a moterbike lol
It's not the awesome introduction, sweet characters and excellent story lines that makes this game so awesome. No the real reason why this is one best game ever is cause it has its own kick ass theme song!
Ahh the memories of when I first played this game... I was only 7 or 8. Yet I STILL remember this intro and this music perfectly to this day. They just don't make 'em like they used to...!
I converted and downloaded this cos i had to have the song!! I played it for my Dad and he was so excited. Oh how the classic game brings family together! X^D
@Charliem1994 Actually no i didn't, damn your father raped you too hard while you both masturbated to this gay shitty ass video. And you only said that cause you wish i fucked you and a poofter is that your dad's gay porn star name.
@dyllman5 nooo soul blade is before soul calibur the soul blade is the soul edge the weapon you see in this game then it continue to soul calibur another sword
It's been a lot of years since me and my little brother played this game together in our room... But man does that intro still rock serious balls.
