"Welcome, to the stage of history!"
Lets hear it, which one is your favorite? For me, its soul Calibur 1, me and my brother used to have endless Rock Vs Asteroth battles, determined to prove that one was better than the other.
Sou Calibur 2 is awesome as well, but I couldnt believe it didnt have Rock in it!?!? COME ON! I know it had Berserker, but he's lame... Soul Calibur 3 was "seriously wounded, but the soul still burns!"
"The legend will never die"

I'd have to say that the first one was my favorite, but then again, SC2 had Link!
Oh, and SC2 had Rock in it. He's down at the bottom row, wearing the weird mask and going by the name of Berzerker.
ROUND 1
FIGHT!
I don't care that I'm a shameless Zelda fanboy, it's just how it is. If Link wasn't in the game, my interest level would have been zero.
360: The Chief? Ryu Hayabusa?
Wii: Mii? Link again? Samus?
PS3: Kratos? An FF character?
Never Hayabusa. The DOA guy (what was his name again?) hates the Soul Calibur series.
And I doubt the Wii would get a port, although 360/PS3 is a shoe-in. Either that or the other way around. But I don't think we'll be seeing too many games on both the Wii and the 360 and PS3 this gen.
I didn't know Itagaki hated SC.
Also: Wii version would look as good if not better than the GCN one, and you could play it with a classic pad or a Gamecube pad.
I don't see why they'd get the shaft.
I would guess a Spartan, probably like the one in DOA, or we'll get Marcus from GOW, and possibly one of the Agents from Crackdown.
No, it's not that. Itagi loves the shit out of Virtua Fighter. He doesn't like Soul Calibur. I don't have the quotes on hand, but he really made fun of it in a bunch of interviews.
Anyway, they also tried at least a little bit to have the bonus characters fit in, so I don't think we'll see anyone from GOW. Unless you mean Kratos, that is.
Wouldn't he need a hand to hand to fight with? Did they have a knife or anything in that armor?
Samus would be awesome! Would be cool if they put the Gears of war guy in it for the 360 port.... OOOh baby!! His victory tag line can be "Walk it off pussy"
Link was cool, and im totally glad he was in it, but I reckon spawn was a better soul cailbur character.
Edit: Totally beat'd
No he does not need a hand to hand weapon as the playstation character, forget his name, from tecken didnt have a weapon at all either, and it worked fine.
I can't imagine it's easy to port games from the Wii to the 360/PS3, or vice versa. There's a big power disparity there.
Just give phoenix his fists, damnit!
And Phoenix Wright would make an awesome nintendo character. Just because I want to see Nick in a fighter.
It'd come out optimized for the system and not like total ass.
That would be the best option, but it would also cost the most money.
My ninja William Shakespeare aptly named: Billy Shakes, dominated all that was good and pure.
Edit: Also, I loved the Tales of the Sword mode, though I doubt many will agree with me. >.>;;
"BOB was a contented soul, spending his days in the famed Mii Plaza. Then one day, a giant hand descended from the heavens. BOB tried to escape, flailing wildly, but he was at the hand's mercy. The hand eventually let go, placing BOB in a world foreign and hostile to him. He stuck out like a sore thumb, as his physical characteristics marked him as an outsider immediately. He saw a sword laying on the ground, which excited him, as he had never used a sword before, despite frequent wishes. He came across somebody who told him about fragments. Eager to try out his sword, he cleaved this person in two, thus impressing the crowd yada yada grand journey evil sword souls are we done trying to shoehorn this thing in the game yet?"
Fucking right. Also, Talim rocked.
SC3 pissed me off in too many ways. Talim got weak, Raphael got more awesome, but there were so many bugs and imbalances it just made me want to hurt children. Between launching people out of the ring from the center, to infinite juggles, to making guard impacts 100% useless, the game was totally broken.
Also, deleting save games.

Wii: Link, Ness (grown up?), a Fire Emblem character?
360: Marcus Fenix (Chainsaw), Master Chief (plasma sword)
PS3: Kratos, Wander
Bonus choice: Izzy Sparks from Guitar Hero 2.
Also, Soul Calibur on the DC takes the prize, only being challenged by SC2 on the cube with link.
But think how much money it would make, as it would be the definitive fighter for Wii until SSBB. Tourneys and all, as it could attract more with an exclusive character, as Link did.
Did anyone play Soul Blade? I played it once, but only AFTER playing soul calibur, and as such, i thought it sucked total ass...
I never played Soul Calibur III, I refused to ever play it, buy it, support it, because it was a PS2 only title. What the hell Namco? What the hell....
THough it really was a stupid idea, it's not entirely bad. The create of fighter is pretty deep...once you unlock all of the fighting styles and items of course through their shitty RTS/RPG/Fighter side story thing.
I hadn't played any of them up until 4 days ago. I bought 3 from gamestop, brought it home, invited a couple friends over and had a blast. Now i have to go out and buy 2 because it is much better?
Damn shitty sequels. Damn them all.
You have to have liked something previously, to be really upset that it was changed. If you and your friends are just casual fighting gamers, you will get a great experience from SC:3. If you are somewhat anal about how the game is played, then you will have a problem.
I don't see why 3 is getting such flak.
To unlock all of the fighting styles though, you had to level up each character class to a certain point through the RPG mode though. It also earned the most spending money for the shop.
It's a quality v. quantity thing. SC2 (and SC1 for that matter) had a more balanced character roster and more attention to each individual character. Plus SC2 had better graphics than SC3. SC3 had every character anyone could ask for, plus a custom character maker, just to make sure you didn't get bored with the roster, ever, and game balance played a backseat to that. But then, if I wanted a Serious Balanced Competitive Serious Fighting Game, I'd be playing Virtua Fighter anyway. Soul Calibur has always been there for button-mashing fun.
tldr: Get them all, they're all awesome.
You could unlock fighting styles by playing as that class for a certain number of fights in multiplayer, instead.
Although, i have a really hard time telling what the little icons mean in regards to the weapons. I know that they are stats of some sotr, but i dont fully get what they mean.
At any rate, i still like 2d better.
Im pretty decent at the game, can holdmy own against most people with any character, BUT if you ever come across someone who has perfected Ivy, then my friends, its game over. Damn that sword, damn it to hell!
