Soul Calibur II fast or slow finish time?
Soul Calibur II fast or slow finish time?
I don't play fighters at all. Know very little to nothing about them. Just stuck Soul Calibur II, mashed a bunch of buttons, and played through the regular Arcade version with Necrid and went through all 7 battles in 7 min. 4 sec. Only lost three battles I think and the difficulty was the default. Is that normal, bad, or good? I have no clue. Please don't ream me for I know not what I do. Just want a straight answer from those who can help.

That's not a world record but it's also not that far from the norm. Soul Calibur is a series with some incredible art values, graphics, and music - but it's definitely not the most in depth fighter out there. It's nirvana for button mashers - and that's a good thing, in my opinion.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I think the fastest time I ever had was beating Soul Calibur in something like 2 minutes with Xianghua...but then I was really cheap with Xianghua back in the day.

Ah SCII, back when Soul Calibur was an actual fighting game instead of a steaming pile of shit.
Re: Soul Calibur II fast or slow finish time?
Considering you can ring out your opponents, plus you can change the ring size and time limit, it really doesn't mattered much on how fast you beat the game.
Yes, SC III was the breaking point (literately) of the series - console release that came with a critical bug, and a rebalanced arcade release after console release! WTF Namco!
SC IV, WTF, why are we having Star Wars characters in it (Yoda is so cheap!!!). But I'll stop here.
For fighting games, what really counts is how well you match up against other human players, since the AI can be cheap or predictable. With SC series, you gotta figure out your attack range/motion since there's the 8-way run (which is still unique to SC series), and you can use the size and shape of the fighting stage to your advantage.

I think the experience you're reporting is entirely normal frrrosty. If I play as Link, I can beat Soul Caliber 2 in about five minutes. It's mostly a matter of how fast you can mash those buttons.

Or really, with Link, all you need to do is that Belly-to-Belly grapple and you'resamsonlonghair wrote:I think the experience you're reporting is entirely normal frrrosty.
