nah

the customization, characters and the random strategy missions in 3 made it my favorite one

although 1 remains a classic

@Sonarus

I belive Snoop Doggy Dogg requested it....or not

i really hope they release for the PSN, its ok for you anyway- you have a 360

but I heard FRD might be remaking TS2 into HD, and id be MUCH happier with that for the PSN (massive TS fan you see)

If TS2 heads to PSN, I would buy that in a heartbeat, especially since they cut Jake Fenton from TSFP.

The first only seems like the best because of how great it was, and how it blew everything away at the time. The 3rd was the best in the series. That guard impact was improved, the characters were better balanced and the customization is still the best i've ever seen in a fighting game.

yeah Xbox 360 Dpad is HORRIBLE. Barely useable. Although I dont know why you would want to use a Dpad for a 3D fighting game like Soul calibur...In fact one of the big selling points of soul calibur was the "8 way run".

SC was my favorite game when it was released on the Dreamcast but SCIV will be out before this. What's the point of it now? It would have been perfect if it came out now or a couple months ago.

The actual arcade Soul Calibur ran on the system 12 board (same as Tekken 3). Is that what's coming to Live, or is it the Dreamcast remix?

On the Dreamcast I used to play Soul Calibur, Vigilante 8 and Marvel vs Capcom to death. They are definately doin the arcade right, 2 outta 3. All we need now is a little bit of Powerstone 1 or 2.

"The first entry in the Soul Calibur series..." Thats false.

You guys never played Soul Edge/Soul Blade?

Its like saying Ace Combat2 was the first in the series when actually it was AIR COMBAT.

tell it to Namco, they think Sould Caliber is the first to the soul caliber series.

I can spin it your way and say that Project Gotham racing was the first one, wich it is, but if we get technical MSR was infact the first.

Or Backyard wrestling is the sequel to the Wu-tang fighter, are we lost yet?
