Soul Calibur II Discussion
 

Holy Crap... an addictive game! I just got it for my birthday about a week ago, and I haven't done anything else since then. I have unlocked a lot of the stages and characters but I still have a lot to go. It's tough unlocking everything. But what's really awesome about Soul Calibur II is that there are so many characters with so many moves that it's insane. You can just scroll through the moves list for about 5 minutes.

So who's your favorite character?

I like Raphael a lot because he is so insanely good. You can hit the enemy with a quick horizontal strike [ ] and then nail em' with a quick jabbing vertical attack /_\, and then grab the enemy with your vertical grab /_\+X and what will happen is, by the time you hit the enemy with the horizontal swipe with the vertical jab combo he should be near the end of the level. If not just repeat the vertical combo of multiple /_\ taps, and then finally once he is on the edge of the level use the vertical grab /_\ + X and throw them off the edge for a ring out. I can beat levels in 3-5 seconds some times using this method. It's insane.

But the character I like for style is a battle between Taki and Yansun(i think that's right... it's the fast guy with the short blade that looks kinda like a sabre).

Nightmare is my favorite character.

He just has the best story in my opinion.

Plus his third custome is great. :D

Taki and Mitsurigui(???) cause I like their style of fighting. It's one addictive game you're right about that. It runs so smooth, never any noticable slowdowns whatsoever etc. I recently got back into it and are well on my way of unlocking all the extra weapons, costumes etc. IMO it's the best fighting title right up there with VF4(normal AND EVO).

SC2 is the best fighting game ive ever played. My favorite characters that I've played as so far (I bought it a week ago) are Kilik and Nightmare. Kilik has good range, fast moves, great combos, and lots of style (bowstaffs rule!). Nightmare is a great character all around. His moves deal high damage, the range of his sword is outstanding, and the intimidation factor also adds to his value.

I play as Talim alot too. She's alot of fun to use, my favorite weapons for her are the double crescent blades. I also use Mitsuguri, and Maxi.

I enjoy playing with Mitsuguri the most. Then I would have to choose Sophitia/Talim/Taki. Just a wonderful game.

Funny, you and I seem to have very similar tastes in fighting games.

I'd say that my favorites are Mitsurugi and Taki.

With Taki I am very good and I can hardly ever be beaten with her.

With Mitsurugi, though, I´m unstoppable.

And I do like pretty much every otehr fighter except for Voldo and Astaroth. (Astaroth´s new look is badass, though)

And VF4 EVO is one of my favorite games too.

Now, there is nothing like 2D fighters.

Cassandra=best character
Cervantes=awesome
Nightmare=great
Necrid=good
Kilik=Ok

On the other end of the scale...
hate sophitia, talim, lizardman, assassin, mitsurugi

all the rest are eh

Yeah, I just bought GG X and KOF 00/01 , I'm sorta getting back into this whole 2d fighting gameworld. Haven't played them much since hyper street fighter on the snes so I got a lot of catching up to do!

I love Talim. Insanely fast and not a complicated character to use with effective moves. I kicked my ex-boyfriend's ass several times with her. :D

I like maxi he has the most hits in one combo then any other im unstopable with him just ask kaolla su he rarly beats me in that game my second fav is taki then talim :pimp:
