  • i think this storyline was pretty cool. especially for a fighting game. and way better than many other games's storylines as of late.

  • @TredHate Yoshimitsu has been in Soul Calibur since Soul Calibur 1.

  • If you ask me, the story mode was shit. There were missing characters, a fuck load of plot holes, a lot of the story cutscenes were cliched, the story mode was terribly short, and we didn't even get to find out who Viola really is, since her true identity is rumored to be Amy. Also, Namco tricked us with the story mode trailer, into thinking it was going to have cutscenes, when in fact 80% was just walls of pictures.

  • FAR AWAY TUUUUUUUNAAAAAAAA

  • This ending is SO. FUCKING. CLICHE

  • What I'm mad about is they took out Amy and kept Raphael. Raphael sucks and Amy is awesome.

  • I'm already missing Taki! Replace Natsu with Taki! How come Ivy can return but not Taki?

  • Also they don't ever reference the fact of how the Soul Edge was resurrected when Siegfried destroyed it 17 years ago. Even something along the lines of, "... And somehow, it has returned," would have been a better explanation than what we were given, which was nothing.

    No matter, both swords will return, unharmed, in Soul Calibur 6, if such a game will ever exist.

  • Now the good sword is evil? What the fuck is going on.

  • lol does phil ever connect with his first attack?

  • This still doesn't explain how Caius got the Soul Edge.

  • Comment removed

  • So... they destoryed Soul Caliber...? With Soul Edge? How the hell does this count as a happy ending!? I tried to justify it due to Caliber/Edge powers are bullshit to begin with, but this story mode really is pure retardation!

  • Dear Soul Calibur V,

    The idea of a direct, linear story mode with cutscenes is faaaabulous! (get the reference?) But only if you don't fail in its execution.

    I quote from the fortune teller down the alley: "I am empty, but you are emptier still" (and so is the character creation wardrobe).

    butthankyouthoughfortheusualgo­odgameplayexperiencerubblerubb­le....

    Oh, and Phil, Ezio belongs to Ubisoft, that's why they were credited.

  • for some reason i have the feeling that Soul Edge was like ``bout time I got to finish this and not that bitch of Calibur geez´´

  • In Soul Caliber 6, they should bring in a third Soul sword.

  • In my opinion this beats all the other soul caliber story

  • They need to do what they did in Soulcalibur 3 with their creative character campaign. That was fun.

  • @sirkentis3 YES that was EXACTLY what i was thinking. I actually bought SCV yesterday, finished the "story mode" in under 4 hours. This morning i woke up and played SC3 >_>

  • They shouldv'e had Mitsurugi  in this story mode as well

  • God Phil is the biggest moron alive.

  • so we got darth vader and yoda in the previous game who is the special guest in this game?

  • @LegendarySilverWolf Ezio Auditore.

  • Am i the only one who noticed that Pyrrha's right arm is Lindow's infected arm from God Eater?._.

  • If Phil played some defense he would've done this on the first try.

  • wtf happened to kilik he was my fav D:

  • @shadowdude8466

    he got remade as a character named Xiba....

  • This was so damn funny!

    "Yup"...."Yup"

    "...Barakoooooooooota.. that's all I f***ing heard"

    lmao!

  • Now this reminds me of kingdom hearts good and evil becoming together

  • Also, I just grabbed Elysium like 90% of the time to beat her. Took me one or two tries but I got her eventually.

  • I said it before, but if Phil thinks this is hard, wait until he gets to Legendary Souls. That's going to be a series of absolute rage.

  • Comment removed

  • The story mode in this game stinks. Why the hell is it not like previous SC games and every character has a story. Doing it this way we have no idea happen to the returning cast or the backstory of the new members. There aren't even small biographies like in previous games.

  • story mode is fucking horrible compared to the other SC games.

  • Is EZIO in the story mode if so can someone tell me in which part he's at??????

  • @jaysz9 Yeah, he's the main character..

  • @jaysz9 No he is not in the story mode.

  • Lion King LMAO

  • I LOVED THIS STORY!!!!!Thank u for sharing it with us

  • No, Nightmare is still pretty overpowered if you use him right...

  • Just explaining the testers, Project Soul allowed every active competitive scene a chance to play the game ahead of time to give an in depth look at people who understood the game in detail with several pairs of eyes to see what needed changing or how they were doing so far. Fun fact is a lot of the free battle "souls" are named after people who helped out. I.E. Thuggish_Pond and Lost_Providence are both Chicago players I play offline that met PS at NEC this early winter.

  • It's too damn impossible to destroy both Soul Edge and Soul Calibur, since they're shape-shifting weapons.

  • 7:59 - I also thought Patroklos is wearing a roadkill :))

  • 9:46 The music went full Enya here.

  • WHY THE FUCK IS THE MAIN CHARACTER USING FUCKING SETSUKA'S STYLE???

  • @Proffesionallistener Because she trained him.Check the soul calibur wiki on alpha patroklos.

  • when they get home, he's gonna get one heck of a hand job lol

  • I miss when each characters had their own story mode.

  • @riceball23 arcade mode?

  • @MicroScope888 Yeah, but I mean, everyone having their own story/ending, kind of like street fighter or MK.

  • Well then, now that this is over, can anyone tell me what the fuck I just spent roughly two and a half hours watching? Because this made about as much sense as one of Hideo Kajima's games... IE: None.

  • @TheRucati Kojima's games make plenty of sense... the only exception is MGS4.

  • @TheRucati Evil girl kidnaps blonde girl to transform her into nightmare, soul calibur, ends up being a douchebag spirit, douchebag blonde boy grows up, becomes good, and saves his sister who happens to be partially evil. thats about it.

  • @TheRucati Brother and sister destiny to weild the soul caliber/edge and are pit to fight against eachother, brother decides not to fulfill the will of the sword so he beats the soul caliber and saves the world and his sister. If you could not follow that then no wonder Kojima's games make no sense to you.

  • @TredHate but, hes in this game though.

  • why the hell isnt taki is this game, this is the only one she not in, WTF!!!

  • I don't understand the rationale behind "rejuvenating" some of the core characters but not others, did they take out bad loans in between sc 4 and 5? Are they dodging the IRS? The characters look like carbon copies, they move the same as they have in every other game, now they just act younger and more "dopey". I'm sure they make some token effort to explain in arcade mode but it just ends up coming across as a lazier version of MK palette swapping.

  • @awe2678

    lolno

  • there's a hidden message where brothers and sisters should be considered as couples :D

  • so they destroyed both swords? and pyrrha still has the same arm?

  • @linmax08 mmmh, I smell a sequel.

  • I tell you what one of those slots are Kilik! ^.^

  • I wish Ezio had a part in the story. The game does take place in the right time period.

  • @jfts09 Nope. Ezio would be dead. Quoting TVTropes: "The first Soul game takes place six decades after Ezio's death in the 1520s, whereas Soul Edge is set in 1584 and SCV takes place twenty-four years later in 1608, despite his look and fighting style being a better fit for the Soul universe and both series being set during The Renaissance. Word Of God suggests that Ezio's appearance in SCV is due to the Animus, making Ezio a "ghost" of sorts (or making V a program within the Animus)."

  • 11:10 phil It's a Japanese game, enough said.

  • "Not Available"... must be Dampierre's slot. He's DLC. Also, Lizard Man's name was always Aeon Calcos, look in his bios in older SC games.

  • Taki, your big red balloon tits will be missed...

  • @Jinto117 Purple. Her replacement character is red. You disgust me sir.

  • @theULTIMATETetris

    They replaced her with a bubbly idiot whose tits aren't big enough.

  • @Jinto117 Don't forget her ass. She really do got nice ass

  • wtf, they replaced kilik for tha monkey man and taki! And why's Ezio there??!

  • @alhaquin Why were Link, Heihachi Mishima and Spawn in II, why were Darth Vader, Yoda and Starkiller in IV? Because they were Guest Fighters, that's what.

  • @KingLofiOne I wasn't aware that they continued that, but I had a feeling

  • @alhaquin You can ulock Kili, but he's a mimic like Edge Master now.

  • 9:34 FUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIO­OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!­! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAA

  • now online matches ?waw,, dsp you are change men

  • I initially thought he was saying that he was going to carve his own face and was like WTF ?

  • Really good story mode but what happened to Tira?

  • @Frieza1500 How dare you expose a plot hole in this masterpiece of a storymode. Clearly the development team spent copious amounts of time animating the still picture cutscenes.

  • is it me or does Patroklos sound like Sasuke?

  • @HotHandzJD same voice actor

  • @jimboslice711 wow.

    the more you know....

  • @HotHandzJD He's voiced by the same guy x)

  • 11:15 XD

  • I wonder if Yoshimitsu is still insanely overpowered...?

  • I miss my main Setsuka :(

  • @KumonPhonics where's your playthrough?

  • Is Phil playing with xbox controller or with the arcade stick?

  • @narutostormps3 arcade stick..you can hear him pressing the buttons.

  • Ubisoft is for the character Ezio

  • This game is good and all but I will better stay on tekken

  • LMAO @10:24 I was thinking the same thing XP

  • @KumonPhonics A lot of those parts were less than five minutes. He cut them up by chapter.

  • LOl he only knows the same move

  • i don't really think phil is gonna do the story modes for the other characters :(

  • @drunkbygreentea He says it pretty damn clearly that he was gonna run through all the stories

  • Everyone calling Phil a 'scrub' is pretty messed up.

    Have you EVER SEEN HIM PLAY A SOUL EDGE/SOUL CALIBER GAME ON THIS OR ANY OTHER CHANNEL? No? Then STFU, it's a brand NEW game.

    If you don't like it that he gets games exactly like like most gamers then go watch other people who get games earlier then us and have more time to play fighting games or Soul Caliber V.

  • @IAmRiggnarok lol 'like like' fucking Zelda logic

  • @IAmRiggnarok Don't pay them any mind kid, just ask them this where is there playthrough of the game, being the best player ever.

  • Umm, didn't they just complete fuck the world? The last time soul edge was destroyed it just came back. And now they destroyed soul calibur which was made from shards of soul edge. What's to stop it from rejoining the complete soul edge.

  • Meh I think I was spoiled by SSBB's story mode.  WAY better.

  • So two annoying sad arrogant teenagers destroyed soul caliber and soul edge basically putting the 4 other games to shame where people had been sacrificed and lost there loved ones through the series but these too completely ignored all that. it was interesting but cmon now and phil she still has the nightmare arm so who knows lol

  • Dude I think this was copy righted song from the Lion King..Ironic isn't it? lol

  • Comment removed

  • i hope talim is one of the locked characters.

  • @bigc5544 shes not :(

  • @spitfiremanlizerd NOOOOOOOOOO

  • 11:12 just made my day XD

  • Comment removed

  • Algol is a unlocksble character

  • ubisoft is in the cedits becasue of ezio

  • Dampierre is the character that is unavailable, he is Best Buy's pre-order bonus character(North America) and for European fans he's available in the European Collector's Edition. You could see if your local Best Buy still has codes or wait as later on Namco Bandi is going to release him as a dlc

  • I died laughing when Phil said... "What the fuck is he wearing??? A bobcat cape???" LMAO!

  • DSP

    Ruining everything that is meaningful lol

  • is he using a fighting stick?? oh god!

  • Love. Peace. and soooooul calibur. Rest in peace Don Cornelius

  • Soul Calibur The Movie 

  • it's funny because in romanian viola kinda means rape if you take the last a

  • Wait, theres a Yoshimitsu character here too?

  • @negavamas He used to be a guest from Tekken but he....just stayed...

  • Pretty interesting story. I wish there could have been more due to the lack of characters used but it was still good. Although I thought Kilik would have been in story mode.

  • Phil you should try to fight harada in quick match mode

  • *Patroklos looking at pyrrha's hand*

    Patroklos- Even though I know where that hand has been, I will still hold it.

    Pyrrha- huh?

    Patroklos- Oh nothing. *troll face*

  • 7:45 If I were him, I'd shove my penis in her mouth really quick.

  • @Lrdvltr lol wtf

  • "Looks like he's a vampire."

    ...He is.

    Well, pretty much.

  • This story probably wouldn't come off so incestuous if our minds hadn't been ruined by the internet.

  • Very nice

  • Now Phil only need to beat another soul game... Dick Souls... xD

  • SCRUB,

  • i am curious if he knows you can low guard in this O.o

  • @whinemax that IS megaman. look up the box art to the old games sometime, i cant remember which one it was though, between 1-4 somewhere

  • Comment removed

  • @DANIELis74  hahaha he's not the smartest but he is the funniest lol

  • @barksydephil i agree ;)

  • cant wait for online footage

  • @SubNoxious OMG LAG, WOW I WAS NOT PRESSING IT, CHEAP PLAYERS OMG I AM PRESSING AND NOTHING HAPPENING SHIT NETCODE.

  • Thumbs up for SOUL CALIBUR 2!

  • So... when was soul calibur able to manifest itself? I know it can transform to different weapons... confused...

  • awsome playthrough man i hope you will play aas ezio

  • Its has to be "lag" that's causes DSP to have a hard time beating Elysium lol

  • phil to unlock devil jin go to quick match put japan and high skill and find harada tekken and beat him

  • Always the games fault lol

  • Game sucks, but Props for xiba being the games Saiyan.

  • All those CREDITS for the amount of work gone into making the game. Except the "Story" portion of it, in small text:

    "Story by Monkey in a cellar. Paid off with Cigars and Bananas."

  • Why does Pyhrra have such fucking wide shoulders?

  • Okay I want nightmare back and Siegfried needs to be the only owner of soul calibure. That's just me.

  • And where in the hell is Taki? I hope that she's in one of those empty slots or I'm not playing this dud.

  • @barksydephil she is not on the game i heard, natsu is on her place i think.

  • @barksydephil the directors of Soul Calibur V left her out. they felt that since she is a ninja and their codes usually have some sort of code somewhere for retirement. Due to her age in Soul Calibur 5, she is retired as a ninja. They chose to leave her out due to that. Natsu's her replacement that she watches over. Sorry man. Look up one of their interviews

  • @leon4000 Oh boy,that sux I guess i'll go play SC3don't like #4 and this one killed it with that dick move.

  • @leon4000 yet they say for Natsu's backstory Taki went on a mission.....that in a sense spells c-o-n-t-r-a-d-i-c-t-i-o-n

  • @179107199999 Don't know why they chose to have her go off for this "mission" that she didn't come back to Natsu two weeks later. I also wondered if they just couldn't see her as a middle aged woman who hasn't barely aged at all. I could say that the same could be for Setsuka, they implied that she beat Mitsurugi one on one. She was out to go get him and she didn't had anything else in mind after she beat him...

  • @leon4000 on the Soulcalibur Namco page it mentions 17 years ago he fought Algol.The SC wikia made the assumption of him losing to Setsuka.Wikia's can't alway be trusted but it might be true but if it is that's a contradiction but honestly I think Project Soul wrote themselves in to a corner.They really didn't explain this story enough.

  • This game pissed  me off online ppl without any skills just mash buttons and very undeserving win the battle.

  • @barksydephil

    So basically like every fighting game online :D

  • pretty crappy

  • i fucking enjoyed the entire series of this game but this just fucking ruined the name of SoulCalibur

  • Alright, so Par was Yuri Low!

  • yeah if they weren't written as brother and sister(which could have happened) they'd be fucking right there

  • LION KING LOL

  • DSP Ubisoft let them put Ezio in the game.

  • I love how in the gamespot review it says that the games story mode is bad and that the game lacks offline features. They didn't mention that in the reviews for street fighter or marvel 3 at all.

  • @JesterOnCrack I know right. That's why i don't listen to game critics from IGN, gamespot, etc. nowadays.

  • @iminthenet2 except they were completely right

  • @PSNGreyLynx yeah i'll have to agree with you the story sucks

  • @JesterOnCrack because unlike Street fighter or Marvel(which offline features have gotten better in terms of vareity and in Marvel 3 and SF4) Soul Calibur Also this story mode sucks, it only has you play 5 characters and 2 of those are just variations of an existing character with a different moveset(unlike previous story modes where you played large vareity of ppl) and Arcade is barebones with not even an ending for a character if you beatit just a "Wanna go again?' screen.
