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).
