Northern Algol? Okay, let me turn my Gamecube on real quick...

*TURNS ON GAMECUBE*

Did you already beat Weapon Master Mode the first time around? If not, you'll have to do that first before you can play the Extra Missions of previously beaten missions, as well as the all-new missions.

If you already did that...did you clear the Extra Missions of Stage 1 (Corridor of the Sky), Stage 2 (Ancient Amphitheater), and Stage 3 (Reclusive Palace)? (I'm not sure if clearing the Extra Mission of Stage 2 - whose path leads to Stage 4 - is the minimum for reaching it, or if you have to beat Stage 3's Extra Mission to do it...it's been awhile since I beat those stages in my personal WMM game. *SIGHS* )

*LOOKS AT OZHATER1'S NEW LIST OF QUESTIONS*



*AHEM* Time to turn the ol' GameCube on and get out the ol' guide book again. GameFAQs may help me out here, too...

*TURNS ON GAMECUBE, OPENS UP GUIDE BOOK, AND SURFS TO GAMEFAQS ON ANOTHER I.E. WINDOW*

13. How much gold does Link's Soul Edge cost?

Depends on how often you've used him overall in the entire game. The more you use a character (check the Character Data section in the Records section of the Options menu in the main menu...you can also see Character Data by sitting around and watching the Demos that play if you're idle at the Title Screen), the more his/her stuff costs in Weapon Master Mode. There's an excellent Secrets FAQ by ruyeyama at GameFAQs that has sections on Inflation percentages and minimum costs of Weapons. It's for the PS2 version, but GameCube and XBox people can glean and adapt a bunch of stuff out of it, nonetheless.

Anyway, according to ruyeyama's FAQ, all characters' Soul Edge weapons cost at least 7,800 gold (uninflated price).

14. How much gold does Link's Biggoron Sword Sword cost?

Depends on how often you've used him overall in the entire game. The more you use a character (check the Character Data section in the Records section of the Options menu in the main menu...you can also see Character Data by sitting around and watching the Demos that play if you're idle at the Title Screen), the more his/her stuff costs in Weapon Master Mode.

According to ruyeyama's FAQ, all characters' 8th weapons cost at least 4,000 gold (uninflated price).

15. How much gold does Link's Mirror Shield cost?

Depends on how often you've used him overall in the entire game. The more you use a character (check the Character Data section in the Records section of the Options menu in the main menu...you can also see Character Data by sitting around and watching the Demos that play if you're idle at the Title Screen), the more his/her stuff costs in Weapon Master Mode.

According to ruyeyama's FAQ, all characters' 6th weapons cost at least 2,200 gold (uninflated price).

16. How much gold does Link's third costume cost?

Depends on how often you've used him overall in the entire game. The more you use a character (check the Character Data section in the Records section of the Options menu in the main menu...you can also see Character Data by sitting around and watching the Demos that play if you're idle at the Title Screen), the more his/her stuff costs in Weapon Master Mode.

Minimum Costume prices vary depending on the character. I don't know for sure what the minimum price of Link's outfits are...the FAQ I'm deriving info from is, like I said, for the PS2 version, and Heihachi doesn't have any buyable costumes. Sorry.

17. How much gold does Link's fourth costume cost?

See above.

18. How much gold does Nightmare's Soul Calibur cost?

Depends on how often you've used him overall in the entire game. The more you use a character (check the Character Data section in the Records section of the Options menu in the main menu...you can also see Character Data by sitting around and watching the Demos that play if you're idle at the Title Screen), the more his/her stuff costs in Weapon Master Mode.

According to ruyeyama's FAQ, all characters' Legendary weapons cost at least 9,800 gold (uninflated price).

19. How do I get Nightmare's Soul Edge (growth), if I have to buy it at a shop how much gold does it cost?

You can either win it in Stage 3 (Forbidden Grounds) of Chapter 7 (Rigel), or you can buy it at the Shop in Chapter 10 (Antares) or Subchapter 3 (Pollux). I recommend winning it at Chapter 7, so you can save some money.

20. How do I get Nightmare's Soul Edge (complete), if I have to buy it at a shop how much gold does it cost?

Depends on how often you've used him overall in the entire game. The more you use a character (check the Character Data section in the Records section of the Options menu in the main menu...you can also see Character Data by sitting around and watching the Demos that play if you're idle at the Title Screen), the more his/her stuff costs in Weapon Master Mode.

You have to buy Nightmare's Soul Edge at Extra Chapter 1 (Castor). Like I said before, according to ruyeyama's FAQ, all characters' Soul Edge weapons cost at least 7,800 gold (uninflated price).

21. How much does Xianghua's Soul Calibur cost?

Depends on how often you've used her overall in the entire game. The more you use a character (check the Character Data section in the Records section of the Options menu in the main menu...you can also see Character Data by sitting around and watching the Demos that play if you're idle at the Title Screen), the more his/her stuff costs in Weapon Master Mode.

You have to buy Xianghua's Soul Calibur at Extra Chapter 2 (Cepheus). As I said before, according to ruyeyama's FAQ, all characters' Legendary weapons cost at least 9,800 gold (uninflated price).

22. Which of these three swords is best for Nightmare: Soul Calibur, Soul Edge (growth) or Soul Edge (complete) ?

Hmmm...*LOOKS AT GUIDE BOOK*

Originally from BradyGAMES's "Soul Calibur 2" guide

Soul Edge (Growth)
Good offense and recovers health, but guard is penetrable.

Offense: 120% Defense: 100%
----------------------------------------------
Soul Edge (Growth) allows through 20% of damage from blocked attacks. Restores health over time.



Soul Edge (Complete)
Fearsome demonic weapon said to increase in power with Soul Charge...

Offense: 140% Defense: 140%
----------------------------------------------
Drains health over time; a Soul Charge drains health as well. the Soul Charge effect decreases over time.



Soul Calibur
Legendary Weapon. Wield it to discover its true power!

Offense: 100% Defense: 125%
---------------------------------------------
Restores health over time.

What do you think?

23. If I play weapon master mode as Link can I buy weapons for other characters?

Yes! Regardless of who you play as, you can buy weapons, costumes, etc., for ANY and ALL characters!

*PHEW* Hope this helps!

[ozhater1]

one last question for a while

can I use weapons bought in weapon master in other modes?

[Starry Might]

Originally posted by ozhater1

Yes!

You can use acquired weapons in the "Extra" versions of Arcade, VS Battle, Time Attack, Team Battle, VS Team Battle, Survival, and Practice, and you can choose acquired weapons for characters in Battle Theater, Exhibition Theater, and their Profiles.

Good luck with your game!

[ozhater1]

so I can only use them in modes with the word extra in front of them

[Saturos]

Yes. 8)

Also, about Spawn, I'm not against him, it's just that I don't like the XBOX controls. Too hard. Besides, Namco did a better job on the exclusive characters on the GCN. Why? Well, look at Heihachi and Spawn. Their weapons only focus on ONE single type.

Heihachi: Armlets and Fists
Spawn: Axes
Link: Swords, Cane, Hammer, and a Bug Net.

Do you even know how they made Voldo's voice? See, Factor 5 mainly worked on Star Wars: Rogue's game with Dolby. Factor 5 also did with sound effects on the movie Jurassic Park, with the dinosaurs, such as the Velociraptor. I was watching Jurassic Park at school two weeks ago, and the Raptors that were breathing, sounded much like Voldo. If you go to Character Profiles and chose Voldo with his voice actor (Voice and hold L), it says "UNKNOWN". If you scroll down with Voldo's Breathing, some of it sounds like hoots and grunts as the Raptors from Jurassic Park!

Did you also know how they did the voice of Necrid? Namco did a voice of a person, then playing the voice sample backwards.

Really? Wow, that's quite interesting!

That thing about Necrid - does that mean if you somehow could record his voice samples out of the game and then edit them so that they play backwards, you'd discover what his voice actor (whoever he is) was really saying? (Hopefully, it's not some evil subliminal messages or dirty innuendos! LOL)

P.S. - Where'd you learn/figure out that stuff, anyway?

P.S.S. - Oh, and another thing - why did you edit your second-to-last post so far in ths topic instead of making a new one? I didn't even know there was anything new until you made that very last post.

[Saturos]

Oh, I tried to let you come back on by replying a 2nd post to the last, Starry Might.

I was watching Jurassic Park at school, and all the Raptor's sounded to me like Voldo. But on G4TV, I think they made some show with SCII, but I don't have that channel. My friend 6 blocks away from my house, he said something about it, I guess that was a little while back, so I probably forgot about it at the moment...

[GreenShirT]

My 2 main characters are Link and Talim. If I get beaten by an opponent in the game while using one of these the other can usually beat them.
Talim is super quick and awesome combos, plus I just love watching her go when all the combos string together and it looks way cool.
Link has great attacks like the sword-uppercut which is good if you can keep hitting them back up into the air without letting them touch the groud

[Musourenka]

Talim has good combos?

I haven't found really good juggle combos for her. Yes, a lot of her stuff launches into the air, but I can't find a really good juggle finish. I have the same problems with Raphael (I usually just 3B, 3B as a simple juggle combo).

[Saturos]

Talim has this one good juggle/combo that makes me mad. She always does it when I'm YunSung for the Rival Battle. She ticks me off sometimes, because she defeats me just like that with that "attack" she does...

[Yoh Asakura]

Unlocked everything, everybody and everything for everybody the first day I got the game =D

I love it. Link and Talim for me ^_^v

IMHO I think that the PS2 has the worst version =) ((Should of had Sephiroth or Cloud instead of crappy Tekken guy >_< would of sold way more that way))

I bloody hate Voldo though! He really does annoy me >__<

[Saturos]

YAMI YUGI, you sound like one my friend's younger brother. He completed the whole game within a day, too. Me? It took me 4 days... You must really be a fast player! Weapons Master Mode? You completed it that fast too? Geeze. You definitely must be fast!

Heck, it's very likely, and it's certainly not entirely impossible to do so...

[Drago]

I just started playing SCII again recently, after long spurts of playing HCTP (PS2) and Mario Kart. And it's a good thing too, now I can get back to actually unlocking Lizardman. ^^;

RANDOM THOUGHTS
I generally use Link, Assassin and Seung Mina, and I haven't really gotten used to anyone else yet. I just stick with what I know, really.

I think Astaroth's second costume is his best. I mean, HE'S PURPLE!!

Just got Link's Great Fairy Sword, and Soul Edge (Complete). Pretty cool, though my favourite might still be the Magic Sword or Cane of Byrna...

I guess I don't shift things around as much as I should. Link's on 418 uses, while the second closest, Assassin, is only on 32...

Anyone else think GC got the best balance of characters? Not just by the inclusion of Link, but by the licenses. PS2 got Heihachi, but we've already got a Tekken character in Yoshimitsu. XBox got Spawn, but we still have the Todd McFarlane created Necrid. Obviously, a LOZ character isn't going to appear on either rivaling systems, but I think we got the sweetest deal by far.

And additionally, I've been a Spawn fan for years now. Only thing that I've been wondering, is why they used the modern Spawn, rather than Medieval Spawn, who arguably would've fit into the genre better? Guess it's so that there wouldn't be yet another sword/shield fighter...

[Lezta]

Ivy.

If you can actually learn moves - Ivy is your friend. Ivy will kill you.... and it will look good.

Or just use Astaroth, that big, BIG axe turns me on. (Berzerker can go **** himself)

Link doesn't really work for me. I don't like how he pulls weapons out of nowhere. He's overused as well (liek omg, hes link omg!!!!!!11).

Maybe it's because I never could like the Zelda games...

[Saturos]

Ivy does kick butt, though, she's the next hardest character next to her father, Cervantes. It takes a lot of time to master Ivy. But she's brutal, once you get used to her.

For poking purposes, I simply do 6[ B] -> Prep4 6A a few times.

6BB:A+B+K~G~236A+B is also fun.

On CH, 6BBB is Natural combo. I usually like to do 6BB[ B] because if they get stupid, they eat a Prep3 B.

With 6BB[ B] and 66[ B], you can also do Prep3 6[ A] -> Prep1 A, which is a fun bait.

lol. never thought i'd find anyone who this kind of shiz on a pokemon forum

the 6BBCC thing is great, takes the momentum of the match into your hands. it also opens up for more mixups.6[B]->Prep D 6A ownz big time tho. coz most ppl try to step for some reason, or they duck and PrepD 6A is a mid.

6B just allows for big mixups. thats prolly Raph's best move

It took me a little under 10 hours ^_^;; the hardest thing that I found was one of the sub-chapters. You play as Lizard Man and have to defeat your oponants by smashing them on the floor or wall -___-;;; it took me about... 12 attempts lmao

I've grown rather fond of Cervantes, I can pull off some killer combos using him. I still prefer Talim and Link though =x

Ivy... Pssh second hardest character to master, he moves are so complex.

I'd say the hardest to master is Cherade, since it's totally random =\

[mvtm]

Hmm my favorite is Kilik , i havent checked the usage but i use it a bunch i like the moves , speed is ok , the only thing will be greatmore power and a 3rd costume. Then goes mitsu with its legendarys sword, that just owns.

And... i dont have a third , but well as far as my status i am in grand something , like 77 , i finished the WMM and i currently working on No Recovery records, i have 33 battles, My fave is Kilik with the Kulum Bambu , or with the Jingu Staff . And my favorite weapon is Yoshimitsu , soul edge one , yep the evil one.

[Saturos]

Kilik doesn't have a 3rd costume. I wish other characters had more costumes to chose from, like from the SCII Artbook that I have.

[Yoh Asakura]

I wanted to see Link in a Deep Jet Black...

Would be cool if you could make your own outfits =)

Like Add a pair of Fairy wings for links Fairy sword or some lil Bee wings for his Bug Catchers net XD

[Starry Might]

I hear you, man!

I have that Artbook, too (my Dad won it for me on Ebay quite awhile back). I like it because of the pictures of costumes that didn't make the cut.

I think Kilik should have had the Black 'n' Red outfit depicted in his section of the Artbook as his 3rd Costume...not because it's necessarily my favorite (that honor goes to his Second Costume ), but just so he HAS a 3rd Costume!

I'd also really liked to have seen Cassandra's Purple 'n' White Valkyire outfit depicted in her section of the Artbook in the game...it's terrific! (I'd get rid of the sword sheath, though.)

Heck, I'd like to see a lot of the "Lost Costumes" in the game. I love costumes.

P.S. - YAMI YUGI™, about your unlocking everything in one day...your posted reminded me of back when my Dad went out of state to help some relatives work on things in the little town my Grandma (my Dad's Mom) lives in. He took my copy of "Soul Calibur 2" up there so my two of my cousins who were up there could have something to play. Over the course of 15 hours (I think), spread out over two days, they got a LOT accomplished in Weapon Master Mode. Also, one of my cousins cleared Arcade Mode on Easy (I think) in 2 minutes and something seconds by using Raphael and his Triple Botta in Tempo (Forward B B B) over and over again.

[Saturos]

Yeah Starry Might, it's ashame that the artbook has their costumes, especially the ones not in the game. I heard that they may be working on a new Soul Calibur game in 2005... I heard that from some source somewhere... I don't remember what, though, I was searching Yahoo! for a SCII website when there was one place with details in it... It's just plans though. Now that I remember, there is going to be another Soul Calibur game coming out in 2005 or 2006.

But get this: it's coming out onto the new next-gen consoles, the successors of PS2 and GCN. I don't know about XBOX, though, because SCII sold poorly on their system. And earlier this year on MSNBC, Microsoft said if there system doesn't do any better in 2004, they'll stop production of games, I guess. I saw the announcement on there, and I'm not lying at all. It was, I believe, in February or March. And the only reason XBOX is in 'the game' is that it's still surviving off of Halo sales from it's 2001 debut.

~Adam

[Ninetales3001]

Soul Calibur 2 is the most wicked fighting game out there. I love it so much. I pwn with Ivy. Seriously, I can kick some major butt with her. *is proud of his Ivy abilities* XD *Is a dork* The WWM was pretty damn easy... I wish they made it more difficult, because after WWM was over with, there basically was nothing to do anymore. ;_; I have no one to play against, because all my friends don't know how to play very well, and I allways kill them.. and when I don't try it's really pointless. ^^; I've been recently perfecting my GI abilities, which are SO helpful when you are playing cheap people at the arcade. It's excellent. XD *hugs SC2*

My god, I just remembered, I have so much SC2 stuff in my room. XD 2 In-store wallscrolls (1 PS2 and 1 Xbox... I didn't get the Gamecube one because I really hate the Gamecube version of the game), an in-store stand thing, and a poster... and a hat. XD Scary.

Talking about Gamecube's version. I have nothing against the Gamecube, I have one myself and love it, but playing Soul Calibur 2 with a Gamecube controller is a HORRIBLE experience. I want to get it for gamecube, even though I have it for the PS2, but it's just pointless with the horrible controls. I'll probably concider it if I ever get an arcade stick though, haha.

PS2's version... it's cool. Heihachi is wicked in the game, but his short range isn't too great. I play Ivy so I am very use to staying as far away from the opponent as I can. XD The slowing down really sucks, but luckly it doesn't happen too often.

If I had an Xbox, I'd probably would have gotten it for that system, because apparently the best version is on the Xbox. ^^;

[Craig]

Ivy... Pssh second hardest character to master, he moves are so complex.

Do the swinging the sword around move alot from far away and your garaunteed to do some damage. Her running spin kick thing (hard to explain, but it glows) is good too.

Anyways... My best characters are Ivy, Cervantes and Taki.. No one can beat me when I use Cervantes.. even though I prefer Ivy with that whip that recovers HP. (Since Im always so far away, or atleast I am trying to be)

[Saturos]

You mean, when Ivy yells, "Dance!" and then laughs? I forget what it's called. But I don't think you're talking about the one she uses to trip the opponent, and then yells, "Dance!".

The boy who lives around 2 blocks from my house, he sucks, literally! He's sooo cheap. He keeps using the same tactics and move sequences on me and all. His older brother's friend at school, Sam, complains about him all the time.

(We were talkin' crap about the young boy, Jesse, a little while back. I remember the time when he was told to take a bath. Jesse refused to take one. Several "days" later, his father tells him to take a bath, he says "no". His father was sooo mad, he shaved off his whole head because of that )

Enough of that. That just came to my mind, that story I said about Jesse. It was just too damn funny!

To Ninetales3001: It's okay that you dislike the GCN version. The controls were hard to me when I first played it, but I soon got used to it. I just love using Link for fun and messing around. But that kid, Jesse, he uses Link and YunSung A LOT. Those two are the only characters (he says he's good at) that he uses.

He also tries out Cervantes, Craig, every now and then. He makes Cervantes look like a wuss, when he plays him.

~Adam

[Sarcastic Assassin]

I love SCII to death, but I was used to more Mortal Kombat II style fighting (Yes, the one that was for the Genesis... that was the last fighting game I've played...), so it took me quite a while to get used to SCII. I still love it though, there's so much more control, and I love the whole dodging system. My favorite characters? Mitsurugi (with his Soul Calibur, he is the strongest fighter, barring Spawn), Nightmare (wicked costume, and huge swords), and Ivy (). I also like abusing the computer with Yoshimitsu's Sword Pogo (I think B+K, and 6 to move around), and I like Yoshimitsu's move (forget what it's called) where he sits Indian-style, and lifts his sword up and down (vertically) to recover health

FYI, if you want to find out more about a character's moves, go to the practice mode, press Start, and go to "Commands List". This shows you how to do every move for all the characters (except for Lizardman, I think), and even gives you a handy animation of what the move looks like.

[Saturos]

No, Berserker and Assassin have NO names for their attacks; including Lizardman. Since they weren't included in the Japanese version, Namco had no time to think of move names. Those three don't even have a Weapons Demo or Profile, so very little is known about them.

[ozhater1]

to ninetales: fyi: there is a new connector yyou can get for 7- 15 dollars that plugs into the gamecube controller port and let you plug a ps2 controller into it

[Craig]

Cervantes is definitely not a wuss. He is a daemonic pirate ! He has the really cool move where he jumps VERY high in the air, the screen turns slightly blacker and he lands with a bolt of lightning, it can be very annoying for the opponent unless they know how to block ( ) you wouldn't know how many people forget to.

The move i am referring to is on the GC version when you move the c-stick to the right ( I think) or left. I don't remember, she'll make her sword go into whip mode and she'll start swinging it around like cowboys do with there rope (sorta) you can then press vertical or horizontal(Better, cause they can't sidestep cause its SO BIG) and do killer combos, and when they are being whipped if your lucky she either does unblockable move or the move where she throws it underneath her slowly and each of the links slowly smacks into them and makes a gutwrenching sound. 8) Also there is the very cheap move against Mega-Blokers, i think its Y + X and down. She will dive her sword into the ground and a short distance away it will pop out of the ground like a Sunken colony from Starcraft. People will complain be like "That is the cheapest move EVER" though.

A cool move Taki has that is very annoying, I can't remember how to do it without having the controller, but she will go on the floor and jump (on the ground) to one side, and then jump back but kick on the way back. If you keep doing this its nearly impossible to hit them because taki is always jumping around. Although she makes a very annoying house like "Ho! Hai! Ho! Hai!" and it can get annoying and your friend/opponent is bound to smack you in the head to stop you, but then when they do that you could just pull a "Taki-Awesome-Air-Combo" after throwing the little ball of blue energy at the ground

[Saturos]

No, the boy who comes to my house to play in SCII, uses Cervantes. If you are a novice player and use Cervantes, you make him look like a wuss, if not skilled. He is the best character in the game if properly used.

And no, Cervantes is not a demonic pirate. He's was killed in Soul Calibur by Taki. While Nightmare was at a Spanish harbor, he encountered a body of a dead pirate who came to life wielding a mysterious blade. He defeated Cervantes body, and took the blade he had on him. Upon Nightmare's defeat, Kilik and Xianghua shattered the demonic blade.

So when Cervantes died, pieces of Soul Edge were buried into his body and then resurrected him. Now Cervantes is a walking/fighting corpse. He found more pieces of the shatter left by Nightmare, and has a Soul Edge weapon for himself. Same with Nightmare, he found more shards of the sword and now has a Soul Edge as well.

Both Cervantes and Nightmare have Soul Edge as their main weapon, but Cervantes has another sword as his main weapon as well, called Nirvana.

The only thing that keeps Cervantes alive is the shards of the original Soul Edge. Nightmare is also in pursuit as well for the blade, trying to resurrect his father with souls from killed and absorbed by the blade, which he killed himself without knowing...

I have the original Soul Blade on PS1, and Soul Calibur on Dreamcast, so I know what I'm talking about.

~Adam

[Crazy]

I don't like Cervantes much, to me it seems that he doesn't have as many moves as other characters. It seems that he doesn't require much skill and out of the moves he has most are powerful. He is kind of like a SCII uber.
