I know Soul Calibur 3 is coming out, but I just want to ask what is your favorite character. Mine is Talim. Her moves are fast, powerful. If i get in a combo with her, there is no way u can beat me. Just ask solarphoenix990
Too bad Ivy wont let her get close enough to pull one off.
Ivy is the character I use the most. I liek her mix of power, speed and range. She has several unblockable moves that are quick to charge and very easy to pull off. she also has rediculous range, and several good moves to push enemies back if they get too close.
Second is Nightmare. He has the best blend of speed and power, with most of his moves being suprisingly fast for the damage they deal. He can tke out huge swaths of health with a few well timed hits, though the delay in his moves requirtes good timing adn proper guard breaking technique.
Taki is my third most used character. She is just so fast and agile that she can get away with being weak. She has a variety of moves that either stun of knock the opponent off balance.
Maxi is the character I use when I want someone to feel bad about themselves. The less said about him, the better.
now i changed my favorite character. It's Mitsurugi. His moves are so powerful. If you miss and i dodge its over.
No, no it isnt. Misturugi is only midrange powerlevel. His hits can easily be revcovered from. If you want to play a character that ends games in a few hits, turn to Astaroth. If you can get his timign right, he can kill people in as little as 4-5 hits. Just make sure you knwo all about guard impacting if you want to play as him, as you will nine times out of ten be interupted before your move goes off.
Spawn is my all time favorite character sure some of his attacks are very week and you have to get sorta close to use his weapon but if you get the right moves and combos going he is deh man and his speed is so high and hard to black against ive beaten all my friends with out breaking a sweat using him bc he is so awsome
I think there's no pride in some characters... I've never played a fighting game with such a huge distinction between the n00bie fighters and fighters that require skill. It's not to say characters like Kilik, Sueng Mina, Ivy, Rapheal, Maxi, et cetera aren't fun to use sometimes, but the users of these characters who walk around like they're hot stuff really burn me up. I blame the mechanics on this, though; the game is so dependent on speed/range that certain characters have a predisposed advantage.
Anyway, at the end of the day, Astaroth's probably not my best... but he sure as hell is the most fun to play as.
(Asides from Link) I like to use Talim, Kilik, and Nightmare. Hey, 2fast4u, I know Solarphoenix990 as well. I kick arse has talim.
Nightmare is my favorite. Im not paticularly good at this game, but Nightmare is my favorite character. He's strong, his names nightmare, and to top it off he is in (K)night Armor.
Favourite Noob Character: Maxi (Just hit X and O, practically does the rest for you)
Favourite Hard Character: Ivy (For sure, you can't beat the sword/whip)
1. Link cause of his cool signture moves and weapons. *the Megatron hammer and great fairy sword are really fun* and his throws are one-hit OK when you are near the edge. (and why I bought the game)
2.Talem- her mix of speed and power are really powerful. let her use soul callibar and she's going to rock your world
close
Rapheal- his rapper skills are really quick and can lay the smack down on many enemies.
Kilik- the duel staff is one of the best long weapons in the game and his swinging combo is also killer if used right
the best characters are voldo, yoshimitsu and spawn no doubt becasue their all kinda fast and have the coolest moves.
just because their moves are cool, does'nt mean they're powerful.
no body can touch me when i use Kilik. NOBODY!
Maybe because he has a fifty foot pole!!!
The name's Mitsurugi, remember it!!!
Yeah i also have mad skills On that game
It doesnt take much skill to use Kilik
Thats not true because when i first started i got killed by nightmare a lot.
I hate nightmare. He's so slow, but when he hits you it takes out a lot of damage.But I hate Ivy the most. She is so annoying. Her stupid rose whip. It hits you from like 30 feet away.
Isn't the third one supposed to be?
Do you think the new cahracters will be good. C'mon the one girl has an umbrella as a weapon, and the other has a ring blade. I guess the guy with the scythe is pretty cool though.
Thats the new characters **** you would think they would come up with something better that that ****.
They should put some guy with guns as weapons. jk. I think they have all the weapons covered. I think they only put new chacacters in just because it would be one more reason to buy it.
i always use nightmare. i own ANYONE with nightmare. im in a local soul calibur 2 tournament on 10/30/05. wish me luck!!! (the next pro gamer from someplace never heard of by anybody, i will be)
Luck!!!!!!!
Link
i use nightmare
Okay, first of all, my two best characters are the awesome Mitsurugi, and the almighty Nightmare. Yah, I own with them. Anyways, Lord of Spam, it sounds like the only reason you are defending Kilik, Seung Mina, and Maxi is because you probably use them for a bit of n00bish button mashing yourself. I do agree with you when it comes to Ivy, though. She is not n00b friendly. It took me a long time to even SUCK with her, let alone learn her moves. I yearn to be good with Cervantes, Voldo, and Yoshimitsu...
I generally use Talim and I've gotten pretty good with her.
My whole opinion with fighting games, is that I can't stand the people who memorize button combos, who go into the training simulators of the games and practice-practice-practice. I don't learn anything before I play the game, I do no training, I play the game and I learn as I go, which IMO, gives you a fuller game then just learning button combos and the like.
I think I picked Talim just because her alternate costume looks [almost] exactly like Yuffie from FFVII.

This dispute is pointless. Non-Existant One, I think this is your way of trying to convince people you're some "uber l33t gamer". I don't memorize moves myself, but I don't look dwon on people who do. I (let alone you) don't have the right. Face it, in the end, it's usually the people who do memorize, or at least practice moves in fighting games that win. I think that there's someone out there you're mad at for OWNing you in Soul Caliber II (or another fighting game) because they do practice extensively. Also, the fact that they take the time to do so makes me MORE of a gmaer, because they get in more gaming time. So there. Can't deny that.
Who cares whose a better gamer. This is where gamers talk about games. Not to fight with one another.
Thank you thank you. Any way, hey verystrait42. How did your tournament go.
Wow, thank you guys for reminding me why I stay out of the themed forums.

Wasnt a compliment. i was actually making fun of you for the fact that you sound EXACTLY liek the stereotype of someone who posts on a videogame message board.

jesus tapdancing christ, has every here forgot about our favorite anoying aisan girl, Xanguha? if you want to show your skill, one must use her to humiliate an opponent. "Just kidding!" holy crap, just hearing that over and over again would drive you nuts, yet she is my all time favorite charactor. forget boobvie, forget talems cheap moves, and forget astroths 10 sec powerup moves. this chick deals almost no damage with every hit, she has alot of evasive/delayed moves... and in my oppinion, looks better than sophitia (even when shes in her push-up tunic). my favorite move? her B-K B move. has to be the longest delay ever, but who dosnt like a stab in the shin?
'tis a real shame that they had to change her moves around in SC3 (including almost everyone else too), she dosnt seem as graceful to me now... but that should be for the other post...
For me, i'd say Astaroth or Nightmare.
<-b+k
Ivy no like when peopel get close:)
Or, at least I think thats the move I'm thinking of. Its been like a year. since I've played, so I dont remember any of hte moves now.:/
I usually play with Spawn or Link. Kinda depends whether it's the GCN version or not.
Spawn was cheatery and lame. I never played with link since the 'cube has terrible fighting controls:cookie:
I still think that, when used properly, Ivy and Taki ar ethe two best characters in the game (followed by Necrid and Nightmare).
Cool. My first post. Well, I like SC2 and I play the hell out of it... I don't think there's any certain 'best' character... just about all of them can be really effective if played with a certain skill level... But I do hate Talim :)
this game is :cool: i have the book and my fav character is kilik he is :cool: i can :chainsaw: anybody wit this dude oh yea just to tell u im a girl everyone think im a male im a female
my favorite guy in soul cabilur is nightmare, i have done so good with him in every game mode and he still is one of my favorite chars
[quote=Klarth]I usually play with Spawn or Link. Kinda depends whether it's the GCN version or not.
Aren't they both like super-hax characters?
I mean, Link has the best grab in the game for ring-outs for starters.
Anyways, Ivy is superior. lol boobs
i dont find Ivy too hot! :(... i usually play as Talim! shes cute.. and she moves hella fast! Strength only matters if you can hit the foe! :D! Combo's with Talim like... never end also!
my favorite charchter is
1.Mitsurugi
2.Spawn
3.Nightmare
4.Rapheal
5.Yoshimitsu
but i really need to get soul calibur 3 now i beat all of soul calibur 2
Kilik
Link
enough said
Me, My brother, and a lot of our friends all play Soul Calibur II Tournaments all the time. On the PS2 version. The best out of us all is my friend, Luke. His best character is Mitsurugi, when he uses that **** Damascus sword. (2nd most damaging weapon on the PS2 version with 180% damage, except that it can't block but Luke practically never blocks anyway, The most damaging of all versions is one of spawn's weapons, with 220% damage.) And he beats all of us with Mitsurugi. I used to use Yun Sung until I realised that he's the weakest character in the game, I could win some fights, but...no. Then I started using Nightmare, and I wasn't too good with him. Now I use Cervantes and I'm really good as him. I can't beat Luke and his Damascus sword, but I can beat everybody else when they use that combo, and I can beat Luke when he uses Heihachi (His 2nd best character.). I've also been doing pretty well with Cassandra and Heihachi.
Dark Kirby just dont do extra vs. that way he cant use the damacus sword thats how i beat almost every1 too but if your tired of losing to him just go to regular vs
Heh, me and my friend play SC2 all the time. We have so much fun on the Extra VS. Team Battle. It's great fun. Sometimes, we have random matches, with just completely random characters, or our own favorites. We typically have our lineups down, but they change occasionally. Mine goes as this:
Cervantes, Mitsurugi, Kilik, Mina, Yoshimitsu, Nightmare, Link, Talim
My favorite characters are definately Link, Talim, Mitsurugi, and Nightmare. Talim is fast, with good moves and requires a bit of skill. Mitsurugi owns with his Damascus sword. It's cheap, but you can't block, so it's pretty fair. And Nightmare is just so badical. :(
It's a shame SC3 is PS2 exclusive. And it's a fscking shame it doesn't have team battle mode.
And its even more of a shame that they completely nerfed all my fav characters.
Ya that must stink.
I'm pretty good with Necrid, his moves are so unpredictible but I know them.
And Link is pretty good, too.
The two characters that I'm good are Talim and Yunsung. My main character is Talim. When I pick her, it's a sign to my friends that the game is over for them.
