Ok first off you have friends you love sooooooo much and you need to have a life changing converstaion with them but they just don't have time for you?
Yeah......last month of my life. that's why I've been writing here so much.
ANYWAYS my bitching aside I've been playing Soul Blade/Edge lately. Like the last few days
I've had it for a while but It's just sat there and I'm trying to get all the weapons.
Where Tekken 1 and 2 have aged horribly and 3 BARELY aging well. Soul Edge has really held up.
It holds up in that it has things the Cailbur games don't for one see that meter under the health bar? WEAPON BREAKAGE. Block too much and your weapon breaks.
The Edge Master mode is quite simple far simpler than the one that would appear in Calibur and Calibur 2. Fight somebody under some conditions move on AND you get a weapon.
The Weapons in Blade/Edge are far cooler than the ones in Soul Claibur 2 and 3. Cervantes get Kitanas. Sophitia gets a FLAME SWORD. The weapons are cool and the Challenges to get some are quite tough.
Another reason I love this game......LI LONG. He's a bonus character in Soul Calibur III but he like everything esle about Soul Calibur III sucks. Li Long is way way way better than that Elvis Impersonator Maxi.
There are a few complaints. Response times when you fall down are HORRIBLE and the Graphics while impressive for the PS1 haven't aged as well as some other PS1 games have.
Oh and the endings. You get in game engine endings but they're corny. Don't believe me
take a look at a few I chose.
I still love this. and i still await the return of Sophitia's armorless 1p and bathing suit outfit....1 day.
I'm also still lost on why the weapon breakage didn't return. It was a nice feature added where it felt like I dunno..real life. you couldn't stay on the defensive all the time and need to find a way to dodge. Maybe cause the 8 way run kills a bit of the WB game but I'd still like that to return. This is also the only game in the Soul series where almost every slash you did was a combo.

siegfried has to be my favorite with that oversized sword of his
But yeah, the endings are totally corny.
