  • Soul Calibur II is out and the best version is.....

    Overall I think is the PS2.

    Graphics wise:

    1. Xbox
    2. GC
    3. PS2

    Really, I couldnt tell the graphics apart on a normal TV... and I still couldnt tell the graphics apart from HDTV (which I own now ).. but Xbox does have higher Res, so it is supposedly better. Maybe you guys who are more sensitive about pixels X pixels can tell it apart and ***** and moan about it, but if you're like me, all versions are equally fine.

    Controller Wise:

    1. PS2
    2. Xbox
    3. GC

    GC was so awkward to play with. I was playing a local tournament held by Gamestop and the store owner wouldnt let me use any other controller for the GC version of the game. So I was stuck with using the gay default controller the all the way to first place. If you own a GC, you can find one of those GC controllers that looks like a PS2, buy an adapter or get a arcade stick. About 70% of the ppl seem to complain about the awkwardness of the controller while 30% fall between being in denial that GC controller sux for SC2 and genuinely having no trouble with the awkwardness whatsoever.

    Enough with GC. PS2 is really great to play with, but it aint no DC controller (which was the best for fighting game console controller IMO). Everything is perfect except the location of analog IMO. But thats really trying hard to find something to complain about in PS2 controller.

    Xbox is pretty much the same as PS2, if you have the S-controller that is. But the big fat one is suprisingly not TOO bad. Also, the Xbox has same problem with PS2, but with D-pad being out of place rather than analog. Again, its probably just me, but I hate having the control having so low.

    Special Console Character Wise:

    1. PS2 (Heihachi)
    2. Xbox Spawn
    3. GC Link

    They are all broke as hell (Meaning they are completely unbalanced), but Heihachi especially. He's just simply too poweful, because he is straight off of tekken with hyped up speed, enhanced damage and all the advantage of SC gameplay setting. (ie guardimpact, 8wr run etc)

    Spawn is pretty cheap too, but once you get past scrub stage, you wont lose to spawn nearly as much. He still remain an ass though. I like spawn the best overall.

    Link is fun to play, and he is a solid character, but if the 3 console characters can VS each other, Link doesnt stand a chance agst Heihachi. He is however THE best ring out character in the game tho. Maybe not so good as kilik, but he's pretty up there.

      The GameCube version is inferior in every way so I won't talk about it again.

      Xbox version is better for the following reasons (at least in my opinion):
      - Graphics - Xbox has better graphics than the PS2... simple as that (although the difference in this particular game isn't really important or even noticeable most of the time).
      - Loading time - the Xbox has drastically less loading time than the PS2... it's ridiculous.

      PS2 is better for the following reasons:
      - Heihachi is cooler than Spawn

      As far as controls goes, I don't think the PS2 controller is any better than the small Xbox controller. I can't imagine playing well with the big Xbox controller though. I play with my left thumb on the d-pad and my right fingers on the buttons (arcade style).

      Overall, I'd give the edge to the Xbox, mostly because of the loading time. At least in my area, it would seem people agree with me. The local game crazy has sold many more Xbox versions than the other 2 combined.

            XBOX
            I played the Xbox version Bustamike.... I won it at a local tournament.

            Xbox controller isnt bad. Dont take it wrong. But if I were given a choice, I'd pick ps2 ten out of ten times. D-pad on Xbox isnt as comfortable in PS2. I can do Ivy's Summon suffering and criminal symphony on PS2 just fine, but I cant do it on Xbox cause its awkward.... That forces me to play with analog when playing Ivy on Xbox... and I hate using analog for fighting game. (im old school)

            Command for Cs and Ss is 376231A+B(look at numpad). In words, its downfoward, upback, foward, down, downfoward, downbackwards A+B

            gamecube
            Link is probably the most popular character due to Nintendo fans. But it is the weakest character in the SC universe. So much of his moves are punishable on block.

            Gamecube controller is the most horrible thing ever. Luckily my friend has a GC controller that looks exactly like ps2. I'm gonna go to his house with a baseball bat tomorrow so I can convince him that it is wise to lend it to me... or else...

            PS2
            I wouldnt agree that hei is cooler than spawn.... I mean spawn is so much badass looking... but I'd agree Hei can rip spawn a new a-hole because of how broke-ass hei is. Hei is the true Ogre of Tekken Tag, The Jin of Tekken4... you get the idea.

            You say Xbox version is the best because of loading time? Oh please. Thats worse than saying one is better than other because of graphics. PS2 is inferior in graphics, its inferior in loading, but loading time is like 4 second tops. Dont sound like a spoiled kid who gets a brand new alienware every 6months and say you cant handle a 4 second load.

            I'd have to say all 3 versions are worth getting. In fact I have all 3. (I won most of them. tee hee) But if I were to choose one, I'd stick with PS2 version.





            I have a GC ver, but I dont have the cube... I need to buy a used cube bad!~

              Drake, unfortunately what bustamike is saying is true. GC is pretty much inferior in everyway. There's really no reason to get GC version unless you're getting the game to play Link.

              its gonna hurt alot of nintendo fans out there, but link sucks, and thats not just anti-link statement. Its a fact.





              Oh and you guys keep away from gamefaqs.com! Terrible place to learn how to play SC2.... but if you must, leanr numeric conventions and read the strats written by Soulcalibur.com or guardimpact.com forum members, such as XCTU, bojack and etc..

                Hei is the true Ogre of Tekken Tag
                You're sending mixed messages here. True Ogre was a middle to low quality character in Tekken Tag at best.

                Dont sound like a spoiled kid who gets a brand new alienware every 6months and say you cant handle a 4 second load
                Hey, come on! The games are nearly identical. And those 4 seconds every match add up. The load isn't even noticeable on the Xbox. Given that nearly all else is equal, the loading time makes the difference.

                Oh, BTW. As long as we're bragging about winning stuff, so far my friends and I have netted no less than 2 Xboxes, 10 games, 2 Live kits, and several controllers by winning tournaments at the local Game Crazy's. Posting a score of over 7 million in a standard run at Tony Hawk 4 with a base character usually tends to win (I think that one got me a copy of Halo).

                  eh I so far have a 3/3 record. So I still have bragging rights with my percentage. (I scoured the net for game crazy, game stop tourney and got all 3 versions. )

                    - Heihachi is cooler than Spawn
                    I call BS. Even Link is better than Heihachi. They already had the best character from Tekken in the game before he even thought of getting in his time machine.

                      I repeat this for the fourth time. Link sucks. He is arguably the worst character in game. While heihachi is undisputably the strongest. That is a fact.

                      Case closed.

                        Being the most broken character in the game doesn't make one cool.

                          I can't really comment on this game until I get it, but I just don't see how the Gamecube version could be worse than the PS2 one. None of the reviews I've read claim that, at any rate.

                              thats true, but when one is serious about gameplay, one doesnt give a **** about image. Take voldo for example, ****in gay as hell, but a great mid-tier character.
