Soul Calibur II

Link's a sitting duck? Next to Necrid he is the most powerful character.

Wish I knew someone that used either. Most the people I know are Raphael and Nightmare whores. And if they use a female, it's usually Taki.

Link got banned from the recent tourney here so that people who played other console versions weren't disadvantaged.

Well, not sitting duck against everyone. But against speedy characters like Talim, Raphael and Taki, if he missed or took too long, those three would make him pay.

Raphael fast? He seems pretty slow to me (other than the 6B series, of course).

Link is pretty weak in close if you can read his moves (he's kind of Yun-ish, and that's a bad thing). His moves are pretty bad on block.

Link's Projectile Attacks are pretty easy to read and very sidesteppable seeing as how he must do one move to physically pull out the weapon and then another move to throw said weapon. I find it best not to simply pulll out a weapon but to incorporate it into his attack strings such as 3[B] then shooting the opponent as they fall.

I was recently thinking of getting the SC2 Arcade pad that works for all systems, because I am sick of getting owned on the gamecube version because I am use to the XBox controller, I would this way just have to get good with the arcade pad to be good on both systems. Does anyone have this? because i wanna know if its worth $20 or if the thing breaks easily and the buttons stick or something.

I know someone who found a way to make Playstation 2 controllers work on a Gamecube. I'll ask how he did it and whether it's possible for an Xbox control pad as well.

[PNT510]

I know how to get a PS2 pad to work on gamecube too, you buy a special adaptor. Last I checked they didnt have one that let the gamecube use the XBox pad.

I know they make a great soul calibur themed arcade pad that is system compatible for all three systems for like $30 which is very reliable and looks very sturdy...it even has three adapter plugs which theoretically means that you could play on all three systems at once ^^;

Remember reading about it in GameInformer and my friend also owns one as well.
