It was an interesting idea back in the day that each port (GC, PS2, and XBox) would get a 1 different character. I guess if you were into Tekken getting Heihachi would be cool? In any case, the combat is accessible enough that a person like me who doesn't play too many fighting games can enjoy it, but it does have a decent skill ceiling as you learn more. The campaign mode was both incredible and often frustrating, but ate up tons of hours while I tried to unlock and beat every level.
I owned this game on every console, but I mainly only played Astaroth
The time and hardware between Soul Blade and Soulcalibur II feels very significant for the game they wanted to make, naturally just like SB the empty arena means they can really make their character models stand out in quality but with the PlayStation 2 they're also allowed to mess with the backgrounds which end up producing really satisfying scenery and stages. I went blind on arcade mode and was pretty satisfied with the controls and if I put an effort into learning the controls and techniques I'm sure its very possible to go through the final boss and the destiny match before it with no problem. On native hardware the game runs smooth and I really like how there's no load times (except for the final boss) in-between rounds, replays, and continues. Overall a game I will enjoy playing more of when I get the opportunity to do so

holy fuck lois… is that heihachi mishima !?
(So because my Soulcalibur 1 "review" was a shitpost, I decided to put a part of what I would've said on here because this applies to Soulcalibur as a whole) So I wanted to play Soulcalibur to determine the difference between the sword characters in Tekken (like Yoshimitsu) and those in Soulcalibur who mostly use swords and other weapons. I can FEEL the difference. Anyways, Soulcalibur 2. A lot of fun. Maybe I'll revisit Soulcalibur and play the rest of the series, but this is my favorite one so far.
