In the 16 years since this game first came out, only Mitsurugi has aged appropriately. Yet even with grey hair he is still an utter badass. It's like challenging Michael Jordon to a basketball game today, you would STILL be beaten mercilessly.
@swaggah0lic Me and my sis been arguing mad long about this lmao. So it's not SoulCaliber: Soul Blade like I said.. it's Soul Blade: Soul Edge lmao.. Confusing cause everyone's the same it seems Idk >_<
me and my brother played this for HUNDREDS of hours, I dont care if new characters/technology are around now, keeping hwang in the air for TWO fights to get the red blade that slowly killed you was worth it! and I still dont know/care who the new characters are
They should just remake the first game with the exact same atmosphere (none of this over-the-top Japanese fantasy bullshit but instead a little bit of the Japanese fantasy mixed in with some realistic-looking things, know what I'm saying? Just basically make everything feel the same as in the intro).
@BushidoMH they're making Soul Calibur V at this time and i've sent the exact suggestion as yours to the project director.. and you (and everyone) should too.. he's on twitter @Daishi_CALIBUR
Mitsirugi was the only person i used in the game and his ending where you had to beat the guy using the gun was sweet beat the guy with the gun 4 times and got some kind of wooden stick i think. no one could beat me when i used him. lol he was THE master swordsmen
These were the days....when the characters had NORMAL SIZED BOOBS.
Seriously the SC4 Taki, wtf how can you even be a ninja and do those aerial techniques with such huge boobs in the way, and please for the love of god don't get me started on ivy.
This is so gay and awesome at the same time, only japs get that mix right. Check out the intro to berserk, it is also pretty emocore(not meant in a demeaning way but as the actual meaning of the word).
This was the first game I played on our PSX. Ahh, the memories...
It's awesome that you could actually disarm your opponent. For me this added an extra dimension to the game. And also the great music and ambience of the stages(the stages having an actual day/night cycle). It just all adds up to an Epic experience of a game.
I love soul blade, my friend and I used to play this the whole day. my favourite character was Taki. sorry, but I think that soul blade is better then soul callibur! look at 1:40 Taki looks beautiful then in SC
This was the BEST in the SoulEdge/Blade/Calibur series, in my opinion. Graphically, definitely not, but in terms of playability ... there is none better, much like Tekken 2 stands, in my mind, as the best rendition in the series because of it's superior gameplay (though it sucks graphically compared to its later versions, the same way SoulEdge did compared to its descendants). Of course, I'm biased because I used Li Long and when they took him out, the other games just weren't the same for me.
Every time I played this game, I must watched this wonderful cinematic opening until it finish first before I hit the Start button. I only skipped SC openings because it doesn't look epic to me.
If you are looking for music like this, look for "JAM PROJECT" they do HOT BLOOD! music for Anime/Game intro songs. they rock, their music always make my blood BURN! GO! GO! SHINE ON! :D
I was about 5 years old when I first played this game. I played Tekken before it, and I was like, "WOW, Tekken's graphics are amazing!" But when I saw this, I thought to my little kid self, "..THIS TOTALLY PWN'D TEKKEN"
you remember how the way "Namco" was said was changed everytime u turned the game on....sometimes it would be a baby voice saying "namco" ...and sometimes it would be a man...loool xD
Um, I think ya got em mixed up. A beat-em up if when you fist one or more people, and you move on and fight more. This is just reffered to as a fighting game...where you fight one guy, then after the battle is over, you fight another.
Whatever happened to featuring all the characters in the Opening? SC4 had about 5 of the 20 something characters the the intro including a failure of a "battle" between Hilde and Ivy and the worthless final boss Algol mourning over his son.
@Cinnamonr0xs It's because back then there were about 8 characters in the average fighter and there was room to give them each a decent amount of time in the opening. These days, there are a lot more characters in this type of game - just look at Tekken 6, it has about forty characters in it. There's no way you're going to cram forty characters in a game opening and have it still be decent.
its great to see how much the graphic's have evolved of the years, but yes u r righr with this being oe of the best beat'em up games there is, untill soul calibur 4
