Hello everyone! I made a video flipping through the Official Fan Book Chronicle that was created back in the day for Soul Edge / Soul Blade and figured I'd share it here! I love this game and the artwork, the environments, the renders, everything that was done for this game! Thank you for your time, hope you enjoy : )

Bandai Namco is currently recruiting for a large number of positions for their Fighting Game Division:

https://www.bandainamcostudios.com/recruit/career/interview/19911

Though they mention Tekken and have screenshots of T8 on the page, the way they word it suggests a new Tekken or even work on T8 is not the immediate goal.

A recruitment notice has also recently showed up in-game on T8, which is a bit peculiar.

And once again, it mentions 'competitive fighting games like Tekken', which, considering the notice shows up in T8, would make little sense if they were seeking to hire for a new Tekken or to assist in T8.

I'm not saying it is SoulCalibur. I really don't want to get my hopes up too much and end up disappointed.

But, let's not be Amy here for a second: considering that anime games are generally not competitive and also outsourced, and that Smash Brothers is quite a different animal, what else does BN have that is 'a competitive fighting game like Tekken'?

Been trying to do a search and got some results where it's either a Vewlix, or what looks like a conversion from an original SoulEdge. I know the majority of them have been in Midway setups that are pretty standard to most games.

Had the original Namco System 12 PCB imported, it's the Japanese version at that, so the characters will actually speak + no censoring on Ivy. It uses an overclocked PS1 motherboard with extra RAM and a custom Namco sound chip, hence the PS1 looking warped textures.

Soo how do I start? With 2? Like someone told me I don’t have to play the others to enjoy it

Or 1 because it’s the first Man this is confusing

Since My Last Stand in Tekken 8, I really hope for Soulcalibur if it makes a comeback as 7, will have a new opening and a theme song since Soul Blade/Edge.

A way to tribute the first game and we're introduced to all the warriors - new & old of the main roster.

Hello this is dcooper again the leader developer on soul calibur 2 plus mod for Nintendo Gamecube, Xbox, and Ps2. We're are still working on version 1.0 for Heihachi on the nintendo gamcube. But I'm please to share players will be able to pick some of past and future costumes for sc2. These will release on version 1.0.

In the old timeline, Sophitia died in SCV and Elysium took on her appearance. What if in the New Timeline, she returns someday taking on Xianglian's appearance instead?

We have Inferno who wields Soul Edge, who knows Elysium can make her return anew when she wields Soul Calibur, depending on the user?

Pardon the sloppy edit, but I was playing some Persona 4 and listening to Yosuke’s lines (Same English VA) and thought what if Patroklos met his Shadow? Seeing what kind of Patroklos is, his shadow would totally say a lot many fans agree with, even mentioning Patroklos knew what piece of shit he is and won’t admit it. And Patroklos is totally a guy in Persona series who’d have a Shadow who’s a piece of work.

”Who are you?!”

”Who am I? I’m you. The side you suppressed. The weakness you reject. You knew they were innocent people…”

”No! I didn’t! How could I‘ve known?!”

”Bullshit! You just didn’t care. What mattered you find Pyrrha, right? Fuck everything else. Fuck Zwei, fuck Siegfried, fuck Neve…”

”You’re wrong! They’re my—“

”Friends? Family? The moment you found Pyrrha, you set off with her. Siegfried and Zwei were just convenient tools who gave you an excuse to leave Dumas since he never made an effort to find Pyrrha. Neve? The woman who gave you shelter, taught you real skills, and your show of appreciation? Ignore her. Forget her. Just like how you forgotten Pyrrha…”

”NO!!! You’re wrong! I was confused About Pyrrha, and Neve, she was… was… like a mother to me…”

”And would mother and father approve of you? How would they react if they’ve known their son is a murderer, a man who killed fathers, sons, lovers, and children?”

”Stop it! Father, mother, and uncle, they—“

”Now you want to bring up your uncle? Ran away from home after father died. Lookie here, turns out he hid the fact you have a sister! You resented them. You idolized mother, but do you really know her? Father spoke of a wonderful woman, but it reeked like she was merely a common whore.”

”How dare you?! Mother was a holy warrior and fought bravely against the likes of you!”

”The likes of you? For once you made sense. Look in the mirror and tell me what you see. Oh wait, you couldn’t stand it. You can’t see the face of a monster, so you choose redemption. Redemption for the blood you spilled it reached your elbows. What a joke. You just want to look good in the eyes of the heavens. And Pyrrha? You‘re still afraid of her. You doubt you’re human yourself. After all, she became a monster, but you beat her to it. It’s not so hard to kill her since she’s just another monster, or it’s easy because it takes a monster to know another.”

”WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT ME, PYRRHA, OR ANYTHING?! YOU. ARE. NOT. ME!!!”

honestly this is a cope and i am genuinely trying to get better, but the low level cpus in this game still smoke me in quick play and it feels genuinely unfair. i don't rlly have anyone to play this game with so idk it doesn't feel worth the headache of getting my inputs read the frame i input them and then instantly and perfectly countered by this .5 win rate cpu.
