Sorry for uploading the video twice. I used the wrong template in the video editor and I uploaded the opening in 4:3 and 4K, when the actual footage was widescreen and 1440p. I didn't notice it until #Otaku_GameFan pointed it out (thanks btw, I appreciate it).
That’s the biggest issue I have with the new one, and the budget has nothing to do with it. While the gameplay is flawless to say the very least, there’s seriously not enough to do, it lacks content, and the roster is pathetic compared to SC3’s. This means the replay value is a lot lower. And edit 2024, this is still a masterpiece of a fighting game. There’s just so much content, I LOVE IT!!!
@@maxilin3729 like, there’s not enough modes in SC6. Overall, I give praise to some of the roster (including their movesets, and how they look), the atmosphere, the spirit, the art direction, the music, and MAJOR props to the gameplay. It does a good job *feeling* like Soul Calibur, and gives out those Soul Calibur vibes. I’d rate it maybe a B+ However, there’s a couple things I personally believe make it inferior to SC2 or SC3; SC2 and SC3 each had a massive array of things to do, there were lots of different modes to play, and they just overall had more depth; and that’s my main issue with the new one, there’s simply not enough modes or content if you will (which equates to having a lower replay value. If SC6 had more content, I’d be playing it a lot more often). I also like the stages in SC3 a lot more, there’s 25 of them, and I think it has the best stages in the series in quality and quantity. And finally, SC3 has no DLC but nearly TWICE the amount of characters. DLC should be used to *expand* a “finished game”, not finish an unfinished one (or in SC6’s case, I wouldn’t say it was “unfinished”, but more so... “thin”). I’ve thoroughly enjoyed SC6, I really do like it, but you can just tell more heart and effort was put into this game, and it’s just simply superior.
SC3 Siegfried is still my favorite version of him. Scarred, brutal, and desperate to find himself again. Also, Setsuka's SC3 design is still my favorite
SC3 Nightmare is also my favorite design for him A lot of the character designs from SC3 are my favorites for the respective characters like Siegfried, Nightmare, Ivy, Zasalamel, Cervantes, Sophitia, Kilik, Maxi, Raphael, Taki, Voldo, and Setsuka And edit for 2024, this is still my favorite fighting game :)
Nothing will ever top SCIII Siegfried for me. And Setsuka should have black hair again. Not a huge fan of her as a blonde (even if it kinda makes sense considering she's not actually japanese)
@@diazdelosmuertos1503 I think Soul Edge may not the most powerful opening in my opinion but it's another one coolest opening for this series.. Sure!! I'm still most love it even long time released.
@@AlkaizerEX I was not ready for the greatness of that game when I first saw that intro back on the original PlayStation, when it was known as Soul Blade. Seeing that intro now will always remind me of the beginning of my journey with the series, because it left one hell of a first impression.
it's amazing how the 3 new characters from this game were all amazing and loved by the fan. the soulcalibur team is really good to create iconic character
What I always liked about this OPening (besides that it looks like a movie), the characters actually LOOK their ethnicity. Europeans look like Europeans, Asians look like asians, Zasalamel actually looks like he came from Africa, this intro is by far the best when it comes to detail... And then there's Tira, and she looks anime as fuck, but I still love her.
A remaster of this game would be a dream come true for someone like me. Bugs fixed and everything with online features, this would be amazing. I don't think modern Soulcalibur is bad and I quite enjoy 6 especially now since they brought back Setsuka who was an SC3 original character. This game would be the best thing to happen today because its tapping into less anime inspired looked and back to the classic Soulcalibur I grew up with.
@Ålin Sixten Unfortunate that I only played vanilla SC3. But I agree. 4 despite it lacking in some offline modes was good in terms of combat. I'd say the only downside to 4 was the slow movement which led to some fights being a bit too back and forth. They did improve the characters move sets and combos though some changes did require getting used to or buttons reconfigured.
@Ålin Sixten Almost wish I could play 4 again on my PS3 with someone if they were up for it. So long as no hackers or glitch lag fests were happening. After the game died down those people ruined whatever was left as usually to kill off remaining player bases.
@Ålin Sixten That's interesting thing to note. I did figure the AI in SC6 to be below SC3's AI granted Inferno and Groh remain annoying. I did also find an exploit on Night Terror in SC3 however I'm not sure if it can be done on Arcade. He always wiffs while rising B and tends to repeat that move if forced to crouch often with the except of when the AI decides not to use it. Random notes aside I might as well revisit the games to experiment. Also if you have PC I'd be up for any matches or training. Currently trying to pick up Setsuka again.
@@Superscope64 also with the PS2 memory card glitch fixed for the Chronicles of the sword mode. That really was a bummer on the PS2 version. Such a shame that SC3 was not ported to GameCube or Xbox like SC2. Those consoles would've easily handled SC3.
Ivy kicking away the sword gun in slo-mo as it fires off and shatters the boat rail, Setsuka’s little reveal of the blade in her parasol, Voldo 180 backbend dodging Taki only to spring back into front flips, Zasalamel’s smirk as he disintegrates into gold following Nightmare’s corpse tornado, THE SCORE.... iconic iconic iconic. One of best fighting games of all time (and beautiful remastered intro).
Dude, even Taki's brief but sudden realization Voldo dodged her is also cool. For a split-second, you can see her eyes widen and do that anime "oh shit" look
Zasalamel was transforming not disintegrating but I get what u were going for lol. U can see him as Abyss stretching his wings shortly before the end of the intro.
The first time I watched this opening and seeing Ivy fight with Cervantes, I got kind of emotional. A father blinded by his greed, and his daughter seeking to destroy what took her father away from her life…like this is the fight that mattered most
And she won finally she’s become one of my favorite characters and her voice actress lani minella is very good. I didn’t mind 2 ivy i played it first but I’m used to lani now she has voiced her way longer. She’s just funny to a nude big breast women that dominates you but she has a seriously depressing story no wonder she is like that! Lol she is the poster girl for this series or one of them Atleast she’s been front on more covers than any other girl and we all know why. if U know what death battle is I am pissed they made ivy lose she would destroy black orchid and I can explain why Cervantes would destroy eyedol and in lore eyedol was weakened by the way when everyone fights him in killer instinct orchids cat can pass through projectiles but her sword is not a projectile and it does not pass through grabs. Ivy kicked a gun firing at her as well she is super fast. also her sword does protect her from magic Atleast fatal magic because in 4 it did it just does not in game because gameplay reasons. She did lose to taki magic but did not die if she was about to die it would do anything it could or maybe it just got stronger and could counter magic by 4 ivy is just way better than orchid anyway soul calibur has a 0-2 streak there when they should be 2-0 and we won’t see them again there since the show barely covers fighting games anymore. Nightmare also lost to berserk and that’s bull nightmare would kill guts most things would but he’s the main character so they can’t. If u don’t care about that tho just read the first part lol she’s def one of my fav characters ever though
Btw, Siegfried stabbing Soul Edge right in its freaking eye with Soul Calibur will forever be one of the most badass things in gaming :) And this game is still a masterpiece in 2024
looked up this video solely to see Setsuka and Mitsurugi's blades scrape. The anger in her eyes. It shows so much of her story before you've even met her.
For me it was 3:18, as it shows Nightmare standing over a mountain of bodies. Then the coming darkness as Siegfried turns to face it with grim determination as the darkness comes to swallow him once again
"The light of forgiveness shines against the beacon of despair." Just discovered your channel. Amazing work. This is an excellent remaster and Soulcalibur will always be one of my favourite franchises. Keep up the great work!
Man, SC3 isn't nearly as highly-regarded or well-remembered as its predecessor, but to me it was everything. The character creator is what sold it for me back in the day. As an edgy weaboo teenager with too many OC's, it was an amazing time making all my dudes in the creator and just having them duke it out to play out the stories I had in mind for them. Not to mention the arcade mode that weaved the overall story into its structure, and the flawed but very cool Chronicles of the Sword mode, and spending HOURS with my little brother trying to best his Kilik against my Voldo. It makes me miss SC so damn much, dude. Breaks my heart that it'll probably never reach the popularity of Tekken. I'll always have those memories, though. For those, I could not be more grateful.
I did this EXACT same thing (or things lol.) Except for the voldo one, it was my dormatory of 6 guys passing the controller around trying to beat my Zasalamel lol.
my gosh what this cinematic means to me. so happy you did this. it's still so well directed. and this video enhancement program thing is absolutely amazing to me- here we were all laughing at the "enhance" command for blurry camera footage in movies
Yeah SCVI is probably the closest you can get currently. I wish they would have been able to add more parts, especially some stuff from SE-SCIII, but I get that the game was a pretty budget title.
My grandfather's favorite version of this game he still has a working copy of this game 😂😂 we still play here and there a lot of people say the series went downhill after this this 2 and 6 are my favorites out of the series 4 I'll put in the honorable mention ❤❤
Still my favorite looking Nightmare honestly. Just imagining this design being updated with the mouths moving and and pincers clamping about, with Soul Edge Phantom to boot….just chills
The beautiful score and cinematography create what could be considered a short movie. It swings between buildup, action, foreboding, and tension in a masterful way. This is the best SC intro as a whole. Moments that don't get enough love: 0:45 for a beautiful slow beginning with the strings 2:05 I'm very jealous of this raven rn 2:51 The physical weight of Taki's kicks here. 3:02 The way Setsuka's blade realistically grinds against Mitsurugi's. 3:04 Normally I think slow-mo is unnecessary, but it's used perfectly here and at 3:15 3:18 the swelling of the choir 3:52 an absolutely incredible shot showing that something is approaching Siegfried, even if it's his own demons Crazy to think this was only made a short 7 years after SC1's intro
I remember my hype for this game. Got a magazine that had its demo in it and I played it constantly. When the game came out I watched the intro every. Single. Time. Ugh good times, wish it was on a virtual console
The Dark Souls intro before Dark Souls. This SC3 trailer drips with incredible atmosphere, Project Soul was really firing on all cylinders when developing the content for this game.
They desperately need to remaster this one, because not only do I think this is the best in the series (well, it’s either this one, or SC2), but one of the best in the fighting game genre
Arguably the best fighting game of the PS2 era. It had a mountain of content and characters, a character creator, really fun and easy to pick up but plenty of depth. Outside of all the bugs it was a masterpiece.
I'd say a large part is due to how much content there is and the focus on the single player. Most fighting games center around the competitive side of everything, but Soul Calibur had a ton of replay value and things to do outside of the fighting. It was really casual, in the best way possible
There's a lot of parallels between this and Tekken 5's intro. Long intro which showcases the a lot of the cast, lone hero shown struggling with his dark side, cool new Black character witnessing current events, cutscenes which follow up events from the previous game.
SC3 was the blueprint for success, and ever since it, there had been less and less and less. The create-a-soul story mode was so fun. My favorite incarnation of Nightmare/Soul Edge.
Seriously appreciate the work you're doing on this channel. It's awesome seeing these openings preserved and revived in such high quality. Please consider doing Final Fantasy X. lol

This introduction is better than most movies
I'd fanatically watch a whole series or movie of this!
You deserve WAY more attention. This is mind boggling. Incredible. Fantastic job.

3:18 the swelling of the choir
3:52 an absolutely incredible shot showing that something is approaching Siegfried, even if it's his own demons

I'd say a large part is due to how much content there is and the focus on the single player. Most fighting games center around the competitive side of everything, but Soul Calibur had a ton of replay value and things to do outside of the fighting. It was really casual, in the best way possible
My boy Nighmare wipes out an army and is ready to go for another round against Azazel.
This looks so good, this could be just Soul Calibur VII!
I am so glad this is only on PlayStation 2 exclusive soul caliber 3
Legend has it my soul still burns!
This looks great.
Never cease to amaze me how smoothly they can make Raphael handle his rapier in this intro
Since I was a kid, watching Mitsurugi coming at Setsuka drawing his blade, was the most bad ass thing to see. Even today, I still love that sequence.
This is still the best game in the series, TBH. For me, anyway.
for me too. also the best soundtracks!
Such good memories from this game!
Man so many good memories of this game growing up. Imma go play it right now lol.
That final shot with the eye glow still gives me chills. I love this series. Wish the AI in 3 was consistent tho.
Great work! Really appreciate it.
Nightmare is so badass in this intro. Dude just casually defeated an entire army
This is brilliant, great upgrade 👌👌
Oh, the sweet sweet memories.
Miss that elegance and quality the Soul series had... even though this one doesn't have the best gameplay mechanics it was really fun !
This video is taking me all the way back to my childhood. I owned Soul Calibur III on Playstation 2 I really adored that game 😍
PS, PS2 always the best consoles for the fans of fighting games. so many of them are superbly hyped and great replayabilty
SC3 was peak soul calibur imo.
Great work dude.
Best SoulCal intro ^^
There's a lot of parallels between this and Tekken 5's intro. Long intro which showcases the a lot of the cast, lone hero shown struggling with his dark side, cool new Black character witnessing current events, cutscenes which follow up events from the previous game.
Always and forever incredible.
Best trailer ever for soul calibur
SC3 was the blueprint for success, and ever since it, there had been less and less and less. The create-a-soul story mode was so fun. My favorite incarnation of Nightmare/Soul Edge.
Soul Calibur 3 is and always will be better than the other Soul Calibur but competitive gamers aren't ready for this conversation
The best character creation of the whole series.
This needs to be an official remake. It looks awesome
Best intro ever made.
This brings back sooo many memories🥰
Taki”oh shit” look when voldo dodge.
The legend well never die
Tira’s scenes are underated!!!
1:58 most Chinese Kilik & Xianghau have ever looked, and it was only for the pre-rendered opening.
I love the last part of the end. Where nightmare looks at the screen and his eye shine.
Seriously appreciate the work you're doing on this channel. It's awesome seeing these openings preserved and revived in such high quality. Please consider doing Final Fantasy X. lol
They need to make an annimated 3d movie with this as story Origin.
