The Shrine

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>There is no more awesome a game then Soul Caliber 2, why oh why isn't there the ability to play this freakin game online?!</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Latency issues, I imagine.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Because they're afraid I would kick everyones ass. Soul Calibur II I have noticed is quite a bit more difficult than the first one. I haven't even been able to clear out the Weapons Master Mode completely yet, I am ashamed of myself =(</div>

<div style='font: 9pt "copperplate gothic light"; text-align: left; '>It wasnt THAT hard...I had everything unlocked within 3 days.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>You had every weapon and everything in three days? Wow, that's an accomplishment. I suppose if I really sat down I could do it, but I only play about 2-3 hours of games per week on console now. I think I still have about 10 levels left on the second phase of weapons master.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!</div>

<div style='font: italic bold 14pt ; text-align: center; '>you must really suck.....weapon master mode was easy as cake....</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I'm not sure if it's the arcade I play at, but the CPU is fucking easy. I saw a button mashing kid go all the way to Inferno and beat him.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I just don't have the same amount of practice at the game as you do, I've played the game maybe a total of 10-15 hours since I bought it, mostly multiplayer stuff.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>But yeah, the arcade mode is simple, at least until you get to the more difficult levels in the console version of the game. I guarantee that on all difficulties after Very Hard if you make a wrong move you'll be slaughtered; button mashers generally make tons of them.</div>

<div style='font: italic bold 14pt ; text-align: center; '>no, you just use a character with good pushing moves and rely on ring-outs.my fsvorites for it are voldo and huang</div>

<div style='font: 9pt "copperplate gothic light"; text-align: left; '>I did it all with Talim myself, and I will admit overall it took me abotu 10 hours or so to do everything. Still it wasnt too bad. Talim is such a fun character ^_^</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Yeah, that goes for every game, I guess. I like to set Tekken 4 at the hardest, just to practice. You can get really good when you're getting your ass kicked by the PC over and over again.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I used 95% Xianghua. Pulled out Link on the few battles that became so frustrating that I just wanted to ring-out my way past them, since he has a fantastic throw for that purpose.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Xianghua, Raphael, Talim, and Taki are the fastest in the game right? I use Talim myself, and get crushed by Xiang cause her draw is faster when I try to counter.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I'd put Maxi ahead of Raphael, but yeah. I've always been really good with the fast characters, though I love to mix it up with a round of Link, Mina, or Ivy.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>I'm untouchable with Heihachi. Sometimes cheap, but untouchable.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt "copperplate gothic light"; text-align: left; '>My primary chars are Talim and Ivy, though I am moderatly proficient with more or less everyone. Talims speed and easy sidesteps can make her very deadly, plus she has a couple easy guessing games you can set up.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Talim is a pain to fight. One of my friends used her for a bit to change things up, and it forced me to change characters from Nightmare (because he couldn't keep up) to Cervantes (because of his counter-GIs).</div>

<div style='font: 9pt "copperplate gothic light"; text-align: left; '>Unfortunatly from my experience and that of a friend of mine that has played in many tournaments, Nightmare just cant hold his own at high level play. But at least he's better then YunSung.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Ivy and Xianghua are the best characters in SC2, but Cervantes was the best in the first one.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>As much as I loathe to admit it, it's true. I've managed a lot of mileage out of Nightmare, but there are some characters he can't hold a candle to.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Cervantes was the best in SC1? No kidding?! Get outta here! :)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Yeah, they toned his ass down in SC2. They delayed his spinning torpedo move.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt "copperplate gothic light"; text-align: left; '>Actually Cervantes is one of the top characters in SC2 in arcade tournaments. Ivy, while awesome, isnt even considered a top tier character.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Most likely because it was powerful AND fast, an unbalancing combo</div>
