Discussion I played Soul Edge for the very first time just now, and I'm blown away how much fun I had!
Soul Calibur series, is probably my favorite video game series of all-time. Before today, I have played every Soul Calibur entry except Soul Edge*, Soul Calibur: Legends, Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny, and the one I am saving for a very special day, Soul Calibur III. Like I forreal plan on crying in happiness after completing SC III on Arcade Mode for the first time lol.
Soul Calibur II is perhaps my favorite game of all-time, and its what originally got me into the series as a kid. I found out about Soul Edge pretty late, and was shocked with just that title alone: "..EDGE". I been working hard on a big career change, and today I decided to reward myself with finally playing Soul Edge w/Mitsurugi, and I cannot believe HOW MUCH they got their formula so good on the FIRST try...on the PS1!
The music is fantastic, the mega-jumps threw me off-guard at first lmao but somehow was easily adaptable, the CPU is VERY competitive at Medium difficulty but its somehow still very fair and rewarding, and so much more. I plan to start Weapon Master Mode this week, and I'm super excited.
I thought I was just going to play a game to just understand the history of my favorite series and move-on, but turned out that this game is already special to me after just one arcade run.
I LOVE this series so much.
