What games should I cover next? Let me know in the comments!

Take a drink everytime he says “Not much to say about it” and “That’s about it” in the SC3 section. You’re doing the game dirty, man.

I'm so happy reading the comments. I love that everyone loves and respects Soul Calibre 3 as much as the next guy. I appreciate all of you.

kinda hurt that you said there isn’t much for SC3 when it had the most single player modes in any game. The character creation was amazing and the fact that you can use a custom weapon/moveset for that specific class is super cool imo. It gives your character a more original feel. The story modes were amazing and cool how can get different ending for each character

SC3 : Has 10 times the content of any SoulCalibur game "That's about it, not much to talk about" Heh, a little weird, didn't seem to give this one a proper chance

I play the games of this franchise since the every beginning SoulEdge, my favorite one will always be SC3.

Kinda disappointed that you just didn’t give SC3 a chance. The story mode is superior to literally every other story mode in the series. It’s a choose your own adventure , has little quick time events that can give you an advantage in the next match, plus you can fight secret bosses if you make the right choices. Not to mention the in depth writing for each character and their paths .

11:03 ''...and that's about it for modes.'' - said about the SoulCalibur game with the biggest number of modes. Tales of Souls being a ''straightforward story mode''? Yeah, no. You can actually take your characters through several different routes, and the story and the enemies you encounter are different for any fighter. You might meet bonus characters (Revenant) and random created characters (Assassin, Berserker, Keres...) and special characters (Will-o-the-Wisp, Night Terror). You might find the shortest way to the boss, or you might dive deep into the hidden labyrinth to unlock new stuff and get more money. Then, there is the whole Chronicles of the Sword mode which, while a bit sub-par in execution, gives you a whole story parallel to the main one, as well as stages with extra properties that you praised in SCII, such as a slippery stage, or a stage where your health decreases. Then, there is the Mission mode, a simplified version of the SCII Weapon Master, where you can fight in various different (and fun!) circumstances. I was always intrigued by that huge Hephaestus's statue, for example. There is also the shopkeeper level (they keep running around), the hot-potato stage, a spinning stage, etc. The Practice mode is probably the most detailed one in any SoulCalibur. There is the regular Arcade and VS (and you can also play on special stages). There is the (kind of random) Tournament mode. There is the Character Creation mode with ACTUAL NEW (and quite interesting, though admittedly underwhelming in terms of command list size) FIGHTING STYLES: So much stuff to unlock. The museum with battle exhibition, artwork, etc. And that's about it for modes.

You really did SC3 super dirty here. An Arcade and Tales of Souls is actually amazing (the latter having multiple endings per character depending on choices and QuickTime events), Chronicles of the Sword is by far the most creative thing to come out of the series with the RTS and incorptation of a long going story of armies and corruption. No word of the Coliseum with its special rules and boss fights. No mention that the character creator has 17 original sets of moves that don't belong to existing fighters separated into classes of RPG staple roles. No mention of usage of this extensive customization system to bring back legacy characters like Hwang and Arthur, and no mention of the fact that this Create-a-Soul mode has never been used ever again, as every other SC game just steals its moves from existing characters. Did you know this is the only SC where you can explicitly play as an old woman that can look the part? Also, Abyss isn't "basically Inferno," he's like a roided up Zasalamel meets Tekken 5 Jenpachi. Hearing that from you honestly makes me doubt you played the game at all, if longer than one session and a TV tropes skim.

The soul calibur 3 chronicles of the sword mode will always be the coolest soul calibur thing ever. It felt like I was truly in the game, fighting my story. I played it hundreds, maybe a thousand hours just on chronicles of the sword, playing and replaying it. It made me actually want to get good at the game with every character, which I did, which was kinda pointless because none of my friends played it. I figured I would try and recapture the spark with 5, but was very disappointed. I made alot of friends online though, and we played it to death, fighting other online "clans" for months. I also became really good at zwei, and hated that his playstyle was gone in 6.

Soulcalibur 3 also had some extra, slightly smaller moveset in regard to the custom characters but they were quite interesting also… like the thief knife moveset having a Shoryuken reference done with a bomb in hand lol. And it had bonus modes too like the Statue boss battle, coin battle, hot potato etc. it actually had quite a bit of single player content.

SC2 was my first Soulcaliber and SC3 is probably my favorite of the series.

was watching this on the way to work, not only a fun listen but very interesting to listen to all the differences in the series as they refined their craft, cant wait for "I played every Metal Gear "!

SC3 was my entire childhood. That game had so much single-player content in it for a fighting game of its time and even after its time. I spent a fuck-ton of time playing Chronicles of the Sword, trying to find all the different paths in the arcade mode to get the different story bits and all the different final bosses, trying to unlock all the cool extra characters (I still love Revenant and remake him in every game), and grinding for money to unlock all the extra character parts and weapons and gallery stuff. The created characters in the game also featured original movesets unique to them. Something no other game in the franchise has done and, for me, one of the coolest things about the game. I was really disappointed you just didn't give it the time of day because there's a lot to the game from a single-player perspective. Even if it was a bit clunky at times, and it was, it was still the most solid single-player experience in the whole series.

SC2 was also the first I ever played. And I loved the Weapon Master mode. This mode is part of my childhood, and I still love it today. Also I agree with you on the SC4 creation mode. I hated that everything was attached to a stat. I still remember when me and my brother tried to go for maximum stats, wherever possible, only to end up looking like absolute clowns 😂 I am glad that SC5 and SC6 did away with that.

My ownly gripe with six is that that character creation should have had its own movesets like it did 3.

Great video! A few months ago I started playing Soul Calibur VI and I fell in love with it to the point I started following the plot of my favorite characters and even played older titles such as SC IV!

My favorite was definitely SC2! Literally remember spending hours on it on my PS2 back in the day. Great video! Informative and very well put-together! I learned a lot about the series in general and it brought back some great memories!

My first actually was soul calibur 3 so... I really loved it and it was my introdution. Love chronicles of souls too it was interesting and fun. Also opening of SC 3 is still one of my favs

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that really favors Soul Calibur VI over the rest of the series. Yes, II is great and is my second favorite behind VI, but VI is a great game that deserves more praise.

I miss the cool modes and weapons from sc3 like grenade and knife style along with shape-shifting staff and kick edge. That said, I do agree sc6 plays better, is better balanced, and the creation mode is way better.

The video was going strong until you just skated past SC3, if you didn’t like it that’s fine but I can promise you anyone who grew up or played the SC series as they came out will tell you SC3 is by far the best and strongest entry with its various modes, in-depth character story lines, create a character customization, the unlocks and that story game mode with your own create a character and much more.

Soul calibur 3 was hands down the best story mode and the best arcade mode

Sc3 is always going to be my fav because in the rts area is my most clutch gaming moment of my life

Soulcaliber 2 was one of my all time favorite games.

I remember spending hundreds of hour playing SC 3. That game was ahead of its time.

Im honestly surprised on your take of SCIII being that overall its the most popular in the series and considered by the community to be the best one. Great video overall though i love seeing genuine fans of the series giving soulcal some much needed attention. My personal favorite is IV

SCIII Arcade Edition is probably my favorite entry in the series so I disagree with your take there lol, but otherwise I think this was a great retrospective! I really love this series and it feels good to know that others still do as well. SCVI apparently turned a profit and sold over 2 million units so it's likely to get a sequel. Only questions are when and if Bamco will give them a higher budget compared to what they had to work with in SCVI? Guess only time will tell but fingers crossed we see and Soul Calibur VII in the next few years!

SC2 is legendary to me. A very very very special place in my heart and especially its dungeon/single player content. I can clearly remember my time with that mode and how I litteraly played it with EVERY single character. I think I did 6-7 runs with kilik since he was my absolute favourite. Ahhh.. man. SC2 on the ps2 was just something else.. that’s why I’m sad that Sc6 is kind of dead online wise. Bamco completely abandoned it, so it will just die off completely. I really hope that they have a plan with it for the ps5 or something because this game doesn’t deserve to die off. It has the closest combat feeling I got from Tekken 7 and SC2 combined and that’s for a fighting game loving person like me, something very special to have. (Also started with Tekken 4 back in the day, so I’m kind of biased on these 2 games which are SC2 and T4 😋)

Soul Calibur 2 for GC is probably my favorite fighting game of all time, and the one I put the most time in. But 6 is, in all honestly, probably the best in the series. Took them a while, but they got most everything right that they had experimented with in previous games--the most amount of story, probably the best character list other than SC2 GC version, refinement of the flashy finishers and other game mechanics, character creation, arcade mode...all of that, all together in one Soul Calibur game. They really got it right in 6.

SC3 is the best in the series, no argument. The RTS of CotS is amazing.

Soulcalibur 3 is my personal favorite and i think its the best one. There's so much to do and the soundtrack was filled with bangers.

SC6 is my first soulcalibur game that I have played and a lot of fun with. I really love the smooth gameplay and the characterization of each playable character and their stories. I felt SC6 is a good way to introduce newer players to the series and might encourage them to play the others one like it did with me. I really like SC3 and the amount of content it offered, I can understand why people consider it their favorite. Despite the gameplay being pretty frustrating for me to say the least I still had fun with it. Though I disagree with your viewpoint on SC3 I will give you this, SC3 is still to this day only available on the Playstation 2 or Emulation the game never received a re-release or a HD version like SC2 had. In the end of the day I hope SC6 shows Bandai Namco that the series is not dead and that their are newer and older players wanting to invested more into the series.

SC3's Chronicles of the Sword is easily the best mode in a SC game. I love SC2 as well but 3 is my favorite.

WOW lmao Soul Calibur 3 was my absolute favorite. Best music for me too

I adored SC3 when I was a kid. I think the character creation was crazy fun. Used to love having a friend over where would press a bunch of random crap in the character creator and fight each other when we were done. I have some weird loving nostalgia for the RTS mode as well. I think it was because it appealed to my love of FF Tactics and Tactics Ogre and such. Great video man!

Chronicles of the Sword still my favourite solo game mod in the souls games, it was so fun to play back in the day,I miss this game mode

Soul fan here since 1997, I still play all of them, mostly 4/5 and yes, nice video, tho SC3 is definitely one of the best. Subscribed. Thanks for this.

This was a FIRE recap and trip down memory lane. Nice work and cant wait to see all the HEAT you put out. SUBBED

Fun video. Hype for the Taki vs Mitsurugi video it sounds really cool

Soulcalibur VI is not only a reboot, it tries to connect all the games of the series. Also, it makes the same thing that happened in Mortal Kombat franchise after Armageddon. In fact, Zasalamel receive a vision from his future self from Soulcalibur IV and so he decides to not die and change his plan. Also, Cassandra makes a confront with her future self from Soulcalibur IV too, because at the end of that game, Cassandra get swallowed in the Astral Chaos, travelling in various worlds, like Unbreakble Souls or Broken Destiny, warning finally her past self about what would happen to her family and her sister Sophitia. Also, thanks with the last update happened the last year, we have this mysterious character, Acht, who is nothing else that another version of Iska Farkas from Soulcalibur Legends and apparently a former comrade of Z.W.E.I. from Soulcalibur V. In fact it seems that Z.W.E.I. worked for Nightmare in this new timeline, but unfortunately will never know the truth since the project is over :(

The best SC game is SCIII and nothing can change my mind

SC3 Chronicle of the Sword mode was never done better ever again. And having weapons not for a main character was awesome! Made your created character feel special.

I'm not gonna lie- not only was I obsessed with Soul Blade when it came out for PS1- I unashamedly loved the intro

Sould Edge was my first one on ps1 played it so so much back in the day and loved every single one after but 5 was so disappointing to play. I would say 2 and 3 are the best ones

You crazy bro, 3 is the best one from the series with the most content in it.

I think soul calibur 2 was such a great game due to all the different platform characters, link was amazing in it

Well done! I know how long this took and how much time you put into it. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as you've enjoyed making it. :)

The Dreamcast was so amazing back in the day I thought it looked real. Mortal Kombat would be cool to cover or If you wanted to step away from fighting games metal gear solid and Resident evil are good choices either way I'm very excited to see what's next for the channel.

Chronicle of the Sword will always be my favorite thing.

The amount of respect for SC3 in the comments makes me very happy, it's the best SC to me! 🙏💗Love your videos though!!

I'm kinda sad you didn't see the opening Intro video for SC3< that's one of their Best Openings, felt like an end to an era (in a way). But I can understand how you would miss that if your not fond of sitting through like 4 minutes of what feels like a Screen Saver before it finally cuts to Seigfried Plunging Soul Calibur into Soul Edge's Eye!

This guy really said Soulcalibur 3's story was meh Then turned around and said Soulcalibur 4's story was good SC4's story didn't tell the player much of anything except the final cutscenes and most of those are noncannon I know people say opinion's can't be wrong, but these are wrong Glad you had fun though

Hwang coming back was such a shock. I’m so glad they brought back an old character who hadn’t been seen for so long

Damn Niosai unlocked Super Soul Calibur Turbo: Hyper Figh- oh, you made that joke

Nice vid,my favorite SC was Soul Calibur 3 (the reason is..you know, nostalgia). Btw,did you know that in Soul Blade and Soul Calibur 3 if you press certain button during the ending, the ending will be different?

SC2 was my first Soul game as well. I was lucky (spoiled) enough to play it on all three consoles of the time, and I still own my GameCube and PS2 copies. SC3 is my favorite, though, and subjectively the best! Zasalamel, Setsuka, and Tira were so unique in their appearances and fighting styles, but they merged perfectly into the historical fantasy setting. The stages were beautiful. The music continued to be perfect. The engine ran smoothly. I was immensely disappointed with IV compared to III. None of the characters looked like their ethnicities, the costumes were ugly, (except Sophitia's gladiator costume which is amazing), the custom character system was trash, and the armor breakage mechanic was such a contrived excuse to hit people and watch their clothes fall off. Ever since IV was released under the Bandai-Namco banner, it's been my (salty) opinion that the former brand ruined the series. However, VI did pique my interest as it seemed like a return to the roots. I'd like to play it before it becomes obsolete.

SoulCalibur 2 has SO MANY unlockables and extra modes. It’s easily the most content-rich game of the series. It stands in stark contrast to most modern games that are bare or remove these assets and resell them to you in the form of mtx.

I had a much less positive impression of SC4. While I didn't hate the game it just felt a lot more sluggish to control than SC1&2 IMO. When I jumped back to SC1 on XBLA it really hit home how much smoother that game played. The finishing moves didn't do much for me either but then again I kind of wish that the current trend of doing dramatic camera zooms and turning supers and finishing moves into cut scenes is much less fun to play than back when they would just be really cool moves that could whiff of the first hit and still keep going, giving the opponent more of a challenge to punish them.

I actually really liked SC3 and the tales of souls and chronicles modes. They added content and reasons to unlock stuff, also they added my main Tira in it.

Soul Calibur 3... give it another chance please for the rpg mode they had. I remember making teams and custom characters for the time it was fun. And the story was more in depth than other modes toward the end.

MMMM that Soul Calibur II intro music at the start. Nostalgia overload right there.

I started with soul calibur 3 and recall playing with my dad on the Xbox

SC3 to me was the best. Especially Chronicles of the Sword mode. I would play that mode so much. Building up my characters. Challenging myself like if a chapter said you can have 4 characters I'd only use 3 or something. Plus I enjoyed building my characters HP up to Lv. 99. But the story itself was actually interesting. I will say that the game for the Wii... I played it and I was like meh. Its decent but nothing special. Never finished it

How about a video for the tekken games?

"Equal footing" Inferno would like a word with you with his insane overpoweredness

To this very day the Soul Blade intro is elite.

everyone who actually played this series knows SC3 has the best single player.

Stopped watching after SC III which IMO is still one of the best games in the franchise. It had a robust character creation, story mode, and granted Chronicle Mode was gimmicky, still highly enjoyable. Wish the newer games had as large a selection for character creation.

Thier needs to be a Soul Calibur ULTIMATE . Every SC notable original characters in the series . Special Guests Link, Spawn, Heiachi, Ezio, Kratos, Darth Vader, Yoda, Galen Marek ( Starkiller ) and Garalt

so satisfying to see that everyone besides u appreciates sc3. just because the person has a youtube channel doesn’t make their opinion more valuable comes to mind.

I looked at the title and I was already like "wow this guy deserves subs"

Soul Calibur 3 bro, lemme tell you that rts was like my favorite thing to do when i was little

Soul Blade was my first PlayStation game and first video game ever! Soul blade has a special place in my heart. I was a huge fan Soul blade, Soulcalibur 2, and Soulcalibur 4. After reading some of the comments it looks like I missed out on SC3. I remember briefly playing it but never owning it.

Soul Calibur 3 is my favourite of them all ... I lov the the Tales of the Sword mode

Soul Calibur IV also had a ton of bonus characters that were made specifically for the game if I remember right. The devs enlisted a bunch of manga artists to make a bunch of cool designs that they then used for multiplayer. I think there were around 6 of them.

Great showcase video, nice job man!

That "Soul Calibur Legends" game looks like an extra game mode in one of the numbered entries.

I would like to thank you for this video. I forgot how much I loved these games and I just bought 6. Every review for 6 I watched was talking either fighting game nonsense that I don't care about or the online being bad. To see someone inform me that the single player was good actually really made me want to buy it. Thanks 😊.

NGL this is some really great content, found this on a random search about soul caliber and definitely keeping an eye on what you release next man!

Ever since soul caliber 2 remake, I pray for a Soul Caliber 3 remake. For me this isn’t far the best entry of the série

I grew up with Soul Calibur IV because of the Star Wars characters. That game holds a special place in my heart, it's also the only Soul Calibur I've really played before. Many memories were made with that game. Also I was hoping you'd mention KOS-MOS as a create a soul in Soul Calibur III, because I am also a huge Xenosaga fan. And then you did. I proceeded to get really excited that Xenosaga was acknowledged. One of my pipe dreams is that she'll show up again in another Soul Calibur, this time as an actual character. But yeah, amazing video. Really enjoyed it!

Honestly I freaking LOVED Soulcalibur Legends, and still do. Great challenges that doesn't get you stuck at every hard enemy. Great story and plot twists and grreat to actually see and hear the characters come more to life.

Soul blade on PS1 is just nostalgia incarnate. And soul calibur on Dreamcast still remains one of the greatest fighting games ever made, every game after that just was a slow decline, I still enjoyed soul calibur 2 and soul calibur 3 though.

I started with soul caliber 2 this is so awesome to watch

Man, the nostalgia is strong. I put dozens and dozens of hours into II and III. I kind of dropped off after that, but I really want to pick up Soulcalibur VI after watching this. It looks awesome!

I view IV as one of the weaker games, but I spent so much time in Tower of Lost Souls. Progressing further is a good way to unlock equipment for custom characters, which was some incentive for me to check out at first, but that absorbed me into a gameplay loop of fighting waves of enemies with one or two custom characters onto whom I kept adding more stat-boosting equipment the more I unlocked. The tacked-on stats and attributes aren't great for the other modes, but it's satisfying if only for that purpose. IV was actually my own first HD game as well, so I found ways to sink time into it. But I also can't help but think that IV's story mode, almost entirely devoid of any story outside the opening text crawls and ending scenes, is such a step down from III's. It's a shame you didn't talk about all the cool things you can unlock in III's Tales of Souls by selecting specific choices or playing well, including the route to the true final boss.

Your channel deserves the hype and growth it's getting. Keep giving good reviews man.

Thank you, this has been nostalgic for me.

Awesome. I enjoyed this video!

As a kid,seeing Vader and Spawn in a soulcalibur game take on Nightmare was something I never expected to see,but something that I found absolutely awesome and I loved.

Great video dude shine on!!!!!

I thought SC4 was my first game until you showed that RTS mode from SC3. I remember playing and liking it back then.

I have sooo much love for the franchise. I hope their new title gets the funding it deserves, good netcode and whatnot, so that it can succeed.

I still play soul calibur 2 on my gamecube. My 7 yr old son loves playing link and he’s pretty good playing the extremely hard level, he loses a lot but he eventually makes it to inferno and beats him eventually

Ahhh Soul Calibur 1, you made my teen years awesome.

Anyone else play Chronicles of the Sword, get all the way to the final compound and have your save data corrupt? This happened to me twice and then I literally snapped the disc to stop me punishing myself again.

SC2 was a huge part pf my childhood, I loved it so much, so bummed it went downhill with SC5 and SC6

The chronicle of souls campaign in soul calibur 3 remains the best content

Very insightful video! Didn't even know this many SC games existed. And didn't know it was called SoulEdge and SoulBlade before. I've only ever played 2, 3, 4 and 6. I skipped 5 probably for the best lol and would love to try the first game
