I owned this game on every console, but I mainly only played Astaroth
The time and hardware between Soul Blade and Soulcalibur II feels very significant for the game they wanted to make, naturally just like SB the empty arena means they can really make their character models stand out in quality but with the PlayStation 2 they're also allowed to mess with the backgrounds which end up producing really satisfying scenery and stages. I went blind on arcade mode and was pretty satisfied with the controls and if I put an effort into learning the controls and techniques I'm sure its very possible to go through the final boss and the destiny match before it with no problem. On native hardware the game runs smooth and I really like how there's no load times (except for the final boss) in-between rounds, replays, and continues. Overall a game I will enjoy playing more of when I get the opportunity to do so

holy fuck lois… is that heihachi mishima !?
(So because my Soulcalibur 1 "review" was a shitpost, I decided to put a part of what I would've said on here because this applies to Soulcalibur as a whole) So I wanted to play Soulcalibur to determine the difference between the sword characters in Tekken (like Yoshimitsu) and those in Soulcalibur who mostly use swords and other weapons. I can FEEL the difference. Anyways, Soulcalibur 2. A lot of fun. Maybe I'll revisit Soulcalibur and play the rest of the series, but this is my favorite one so far.
HELL YEAH THE PEAK OF SOUL CALIBUR! I only played Soul Calibur a year ago but the evolution of the series is so good, the first SC was alright it did set the standard for the series and it improved the combat greatly from the proto-game Soul Edge since everyone was actually balanced, then 2 was released and the rest is history. (Extra points on this game for introducing my main, Cassandra)
Stepping and moving around the stages feels smoother than the games prior also guarding feels like it has an actual impact in this game (actually they revised guarding for this game which is why it feels so much better than Edge and 1) also Soul Charge was introduced this game too, all of this topped with memorable stages and music to go along with that.
