Vostok 7 Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 So I picked up SCII the other day and I have to wonder why I didn't earlier. It's great! It's perfect for a button masher like me. So who's your favorite characters? I prefer Taki, Talim and Ivy myself. Taki and Talim because they are fast and have dual weapons, and Ivy because she's got the long range. Also, the game is 100x better with the Japanese soundtrack. The dubs are horrid. Vostok 7 Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Waiting for it to drop to $19.99, but with the first game it's Mitsurugi all the way. He's got awesome moves and a good balance between speed and damaging power. Quote
Max Jenius Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 I'm a Mitsurugi god(see the avatar). I usually kill anyone with him, his SCUBs and mix-ups are hella rad. I'm pretty badass with Ivy as well, I'm pretty good at buffering CS and SS and those are always crowd pleasers. I'm good with Voldo also, but I mainly play him because of the humiliation factor. I'm working on Taki and Yoshimitsu also. Vostok, button mashing can get you only so far. Once your enemies learn to GI, they're going to own you. I recommend visiting http://www.guardimpact.com if you really get into it. Quote
MacBoy29 Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 I own the GC version, and i like using Link, Kilik, and Seung Mina. Link and Seung Mina is just cool to use, Kilik is a fancy snamshy. Quote
Abombz!! Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 (edited) I own the GC version of the game. I like playing with Taki, Seung Mina, Sophitia, Xianghua, Voldo and Killik. Out of those I play best with Taki and Seung Mina (she is the best! ) And btw..... learn how to read... its Soul Calibur! <_< Edited December 18, 2003 by Abombz!! Quote
NSJ23 Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Got the GC version. So I roll with Link, Kilik, Mitsurugi, and Cervantes. Quote
Vostok 7 Posted December 18, 2003 Author Posted December 18, 2003 I'm getting owned by my friends... They keep taking Kilik and Cassandra. Bastards. Vostok 7 Quote
UN Spacy Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 I also spend quality time with the Gamecube version.....I've been using Link, Nightmare, and Taki the most. Quote
Max Jenius Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Seung Mina (she is the best! ) She's quite literally a neutered Kilik. Use Kilik, not only does he have almost all of her moves, but he has additional ones that make him a much more well-rounded character. Quote
areaseven Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 I've sworn by Kilik since SC1, and I won't use anyone else as a primary character. My secondary characters are either Mitsurugi or Ivy. Quote
JB0 Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 On SC1 I'll play as anyone but Maxi and Voldo. Not very good with the large slow characters, though. My playstyle tends towards fast characters that don't do much damage, but do it fast. HAven't played Soul Edge/Blade, and my SC2 experience is very very limited. Quote
Max Jenius Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Mitsurugi and I go way back. Soul Edge. Quote
areaseven Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 (edited) Mitsurugi and I go way back. Soul Edge. Yeah, baby. No other game has a kick-ass intro like Soul Edge. TO LOVE! TO SHINE! We all need to shine on to see How far we've come on our journey How far yet to go searchin' for our star Deep in the night I pray in my heart For that special light To shower me with love To shower me with power To shine from above I gotta get to the Edge of Soul To carry on what I believed In from the very start I gotta get to the Edge of Soul To carry on deep in my heart TO LOVE! TO SHINE! TO LOVE! TO SHINE! Come strip down and face it, your all 'Bout time you broke down your wall Free your mid, a brand new world Waits for you, you'll find Nobody can just do it for you It's time that you knew It's up to you to love It's up to you to shine The light true'n blue You gotta get to the Edge of Soul To carry on what you believe In from the very start You gotta get to the Edge of Soul To carry on deep in your heart You gotta get to the Edge of Soul To carry on what you believe In from the very start You gotta get to the Edge of Soul To carry on what you believe In from the very start You gotta get to the Edge of Soul To carry on what you believe In from the very start You gotta get to the Edge of Soul To carry on deep in your heart TO LOVE! TO SHINE! TO LOVE! TO SHINE! Edited February 20, 2004 by areaseven Quote
Skippy438 Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 (edited) Cassandra! She's the hottest (although Seung Mina comes close) and highly deadly. I also use Kilik, Link on occasion, Voldo if I want to be cheap, and of course, Raphael. Maxi has got to be the most underrated character in the game, his moves look weak but he packs a wicked punch Edited December 18, 2003 by Skippy438 Quote
Mr March Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 One of the great things about the Soul Calibur series has been my inability to choose an absolute favorite due to the inclusion of so many charming and well balanced characters. However, ever since I first played Soul Calibur on my Dreamcast, I've always liked Mitsurugi, Kilik, and Taki. I've always liked Mitsurugi's versatility, Kilik's well rounded speed and range, and Taki's acrobatic strikes and dodges. Of the characters in Soul Calibur II, I find myself very much enjoying Ivy. Her swinging whip moves and new combos are great. She has one hell of a move list at her disposal. I have yet to master many of the new characters, but Spawn (I own an X-Box, so I have that version) sure is a lot of fun. I must admit, I'm going to have to get good with Raphael. He's a fun character to watch in action. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 In SCII: Raphael. Chainmail armor? Just more holes to aim for. In Soul Edge -> SCII Knightmare Seung Mina Taki Quote
Golden Arms Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 X-box ver. I play with Mitsurugi Sueng Mina and Xhingchua (love her Tai chi sword movements) apologize for sp? Quote
Vostok 7 Posted December 18, 2003 Author Posted December 18, 2003 (edited) I haven't got Seung Mina yet. I'm really warming up to Talim... She's got some nice moves (like the jump over backwards swing)... The problem with my friends is they find the heaviest or fastest strike they can and just use it over and over and over... I'm finally learning to guard and time my strikes to get inbetween theirs, but then it's frustrating when I time my guards wrong. I like Taki's rushing strike... It's a good opener. It's such a great game until you're getting owned by your button mashing first time playing friends <_< And is it just me or is Heihachi nearly usless? <_< Vostok 7 Edited December 18, 2003 by Vostok 7 Quote
Lightning Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 aww...nobody likes Maxi? man, just get to know how to play as him and u wont pick anybody else, he's the fastest guy in the game with the right combos, and half of his combos will catch you off guard too (not to mention being pretty powerful) Quote
JB0 Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 aww...nobody likes Maxi? man, just get to know how to play as him and u wont pick anybody else, he's the fastest guy in the game with the right combos, and half of his combos will catch you off guard too (not to mention being pretty powerful) Well, I'm not very good at the genre, and I usually get owned after comitting to a move that misses. Typical example: Maxi moves in, swings his nunchucks, misses, and sits there spinning them while the other person uses the (large) oepning to smack him in the head with a sharp pointed object. Quote
Max Jenius Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Maxi got totally screwed this time around and he wasn't really top-tier material to begin with. I hear his stances got messed up. MAXI SUCKS!!! LI LONG FOREVER!!!!!! Quote
David Hingtgen Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Hey, Li Long was way better than Maxi will ever be. Anyways, I've been using Sueng Mina since Soul Edge, as well as Hwang. Picked up Nightmare and Xianghua on DC. Can use Sophitia decently. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 LOL--simultaneous Li Long fan postings. Quote
areaseven Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 I haven't played the PS2 version yet, so how hard is it to fight Heihachi, even though he's unarmed? Quote
Vostok 7 Posted December 18, 2003 Author Posted December 18, 2003 I haven't played the PS2 version yet, so how hard is it to fight Heihachi, even though he's unarmed? I haven't played as him yet, but I've seen him in action. He's got some nice moves, but seems basically useless against the weapons. It's too bad really. I think he's the worst of the cameos. In a game full of, and all about weapons, he gets zip. Vostok 7 Quote
Max Jenius Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 He's basically just like Tekken Heihachi. Not really that fun to play for me. The basic rule of thumb between my friends and I is "[Anyone but Heihachi]" Suggestions- Inuyasha Sesshomaru Sango(Skin for Taki) assorted Naruto characters who's names I don't know... Darth Vader Luke Skywalker Obi-Wan Kenobi Yoda Anyone but Heihachi Could Strife Sephiroth Gundams (DeathScythe etc) Evangelions (Prog knife, whatever...) Stikfas(replacement for the lame Charade) Immortals - Duncan/Connor Macleod/Ramirez/The Kurgan Nicholas D. Wolfwood Blade Anyone but Heihachi A Giant Bee Alien Predator Batman Bruce Willis w/ Katana (Pulp Fiction) Anyone but Heihachi. See? It really works! Quote

David Hingtgen Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Or in the "obvious thing they missed" category, is that half the time in various Tekken games, Heihachi is walking around with 2 katanas, yet they couldn't "come up with" a weapon for him in SC2... (Or does he have a katana and a wakizashi? Always looked like 2 katanas to me) Quote
JB0 Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 I've heard they were discussiong putting DigDug in at one point. That would've been awesome beyond words. Quote

Yohsho Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Let's see, I've played as Xianghua since SC1 because she wields Soul Calibur. I like Nightmare, ok with Mitsurugi and Talim is fun with the Up, Kick, Kick, Kick, Ring Out combo. I think I'm like the only one who likes Heihachi cuz I play like a cheap bastard with him. Quote
Beware of Blast Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Man, you guys actually use almost all the characters in SC2! Makes me wanna go see a shrink cuz I only use Taki and Xianghua long time. Quote
