Siegfried's quite a tragic character. Kills his father unknowingly then when he realises what he did he can't handle it and his inability to accept it causes him to seek out Soul Edge and causes him to become the monster Nightmare.
Taki for me. I always tend to go for the fast and flexible type of fighters in fighting games (which most of the time is women). Plus she just REALLY looks 🔥 in that super skin tight outfit 😍
ryan morfei the latest tales anime which focus on Zestiria and Beseria doesn't bring the characters together either for obvious reasons Beseria takes in 1000 years before Zestiria. A potential anime Soul Calibur will most likely have 5 main factions which are #1 Kilik, Xianghua, and Maxi. #2 Yung Soeng,Soeng-Mina, and Talim for the group with Cassandra, Taki, Misturugi, and other side main characters kinda involved with their story. #3 Nightmare, Tara, Astroth, Lizard Man, Ivy, Zalsamel, Voldo and even Cervantes will star in that faction/part. 4th will be possibly Groh and his gang. And finally #5 the main protagonist group while Kilik is indeed the 2nd main protagonist of the series this group will star Siegfried and Hilde.
Siegfried is one of my favorite characters in fiction, so thank you for this. Although your pronounciation of some names needs some work, for example its So-phi-ti-a not Sophit-a, but otherwise great video!
Great video about my main in all Soul Blade/Calibur but i have one question about the part of Soul Calibur 3 where did you find the info about Siegfried and nightmare vs Abyss? i mean i always thought that Night terror would fit in all of that.... anyway great video
The hero gone bad stereo type is very common in fighting games, but I often felt Siegfried/Knightmare was possibly one of the most well written. It's not an evil power that's inherited, but one that was obtained through searching for a solution to ones cause. Siegfried had honorable goals, but he didn't realize the very tools he would use would actually do more harm then good. The hero acknowledges his mistakes, and tries to redeem himself, not after beating himself up about it though. And th is is why he's one of my more favorite characters in gaming.
Silverware Warrior he was never hero, guy killed his own father for Christ sake due to being with a gang of degenerates. It wasn’t until after his release of soul edge did he try to atone for what he did.
@Unknowing Reaper Siegfried is what most people would call an antihero as he starts out young and naive, becomes a tool of evil and then finally fights for his redemption. Anti heroes are more realistic, because nobody is perfect. We can all feel more in common with an antihero because he or she makes mistakes like we humans do. He is not without his faults and many people want him dead, but that's what makes his story interesting.
Heishiro Mitsurugi and Siegfried/Nightmare and Cervantes are my top 3 characters. Siegfried at the age of 16, 5ft 6 was carrying the heaviest weapon in soul blade as well as wearing heavy armour suit. Made that shit look easy. TRUE WARRIOR!!
Yep! I remember the narrator describing Mitsurugi as a 'Skilled Swordsman'. Easily the best fighter in the game and even without his weapon he's extremely skilled. His movement, body positioning to launch attacvks and also predict his opponents moves; hsi overall switch from defence to attack is incredible.
@@DEEDUBZ Mitsurugi is a perfectly balanced fighter, this makes him solid mid tier, with essentially no good/bad matchups. Everyone should become good with Mitsurugi before they find their main. It'll mean slower progression in the short term, but its a valuable long term investment.
Soul Calibur VI is a retelling of the story, and it actually has a lot of callbacks to the original plot points and such. Yous should check that out too
@@TheMan-je5xq Nightmare is a stop/start kind of fighter, whereas siegfried is a very flowy fighter. In most matchups, sieg feels faster because of this, however in a Nightmare vs Siegfried scenario, Nightmare beats him to the punch with multiple of his attacks. Nightmare has better acceleration, Siegfried has a higher top speed, if you will.
Siegfried is an excellent example of a character who seeks redemption and goes from villian to hero unlike Patroklos! You should do the history of Soul Edge (Inferno) and of Soul Calibur (Elysium) and also Hilde. :D
@@CountofBleck the diference Is That Siegfried pay a unfair high price for His mistake and after that he dedicated Is whole life to amend His sins , patroklos was just antes arrogant whelp
Both dumb kids who did dumb shit. Siegfried did wayyyyyy dumber shit and became a better person in the end. Other than that, they are the same. Hence why Sieg trusted patroklos with the sword.
I played soul caliber 6. But its feel like more of a filler from soul caliber 1 to 2 instead of a reboot. True the whole story of all the characters. Also, i always respect seigfied story in this game with all the others. Hope soul caliber 7 live up the high.
Really glad you're gonna be covering the Soul Blade/Soul Calibur series! I started with Soul Blade on the PS1 when I was about 5 and Siegfried's ending scared the ever living piss out of me! It still sends me funny thinking about it now; just the music and his screams as Soul Edge consumes him was terrifying to me.
Hey, I totally understand - it /is/ scary, especially if you weren't expecting it! His "good" ending was also more depressing than a lot of the "bad" endings...
I started the series at Soulcalibur 2, and I have been a Seigfried main ever since. I grew to appreciate what I could glean of his story, but thank you for this video it connected a lot of pieces for me.
Some time ago I got a copy Broken Destiny for the PSP and after some time with that game Siegfried became my best character with Nightmare my favorite character. Now that I have Soul Calibur VI I've put so much time in Nightmare I'm afraid I lost my touch with him. It was to the point I'd give my nephews, who are better players than I, a VERY hard time if I played as Siegfried.
Why would you say the plan to find patroklos backfire? He and Pyrrha got rid of Soul Edge, And ended all the madness and suffering it would bring. Sure he had to get rid of Soul Calibur as well to do it. But it would be surely worth it.
Siegfried's quite a tragic character. Kills his father unknowingly then when he realises what he did he can't handle it and his inability to accept it causes him to seek out Soul Edge and causes him to become the monster Nightmare.
Yes. But then, he conquered the darkness in him and accepted the truth
Vote - Taki
I'm in!
History Behind The Warrior I like taki
History Behind The warrior I would love to see Taki get spotlight.
Taki for me. I always tend to go for the fast and flexible type of fighters in fighting games (which most of the time is women). Plus she just REALLY looks 🔥 in that super skin tight outfit 😍
Taki is great Ivy sucks.
WHY, is there not a soul calibur anime!?
Ty Miller because cartoons based off video games suck.
Castlevania is great.
Because there are so many characters with very separate stories. Some characters never even meet eachother
I don't know but it would make a very good anime aslong the project Soul team is involved. Tekken should definitely get a anime too.

And finally #5 the main protagonist group while Kilik is indeed the 2nd main protagonist of the series this group will star Siegfried and Hilde.
Soul Calibur 5 was SO bad that Soul Calibur basically got rebooted.
Gameplay wise was excellent.
The story was crap, but the playstyle was my favorite of all the saga
Siegfried is my favorite soul calibur character. Really great vid man
Seigfried = Guts
Thumbs up if you would like a new Soul caliber game!

Officially, I dont know where it is, but the wiki has it, too.
Well,knowing that he killed his father at the end will surely drive him mad and grieve.
Your pronouncing Zasalamels name wrong it's pronounced ZAZ-A-LA-MEL not ZAZ-A-LAM-AL even the announcer in SC3 says his name like I just said.
Fuck literally everything that happens in the storyline after SCIII.
Taki

SALAMO

You gotta wonder who exactly Siegfried was gonna get revenge on for killing his father. Like who did he blame?
I know, right? Maybe he would've found some random unlucky bloke to blame it on, kill them, then go on with his life without ever realizing his error.
I always perfered nightmare! Nightmare is bae
I'ts About time.

I really need this. I started playing Soul Calibur at the 4th game and the lore REALLY confuses me.
Freddymega x 2 is the best one and 3 . Check them out if u haven't already
Soul Calibur VI is a retelling of the story, and it actually has a lot of callbacks to the original plot points and such. Yous should check that out too
I HOPE they bring Zasalamel back.
You got your wish
I got Siegfried and Zasalamel. But THAT wasn't enough. NOW Geralt of Rivia is appearing. #FanBoyFreakout
This is a great series, keep up the good work! Tough to find Soul Caliber info based on the character lore.
Siegfried was always my favorite character in Soul Calibur and his fighting style is surprisingly easy to use despite the size of his enormous sword.
He and Nightmare are both quite quick for such big guys
@@Thechezbailey I always thought Nightmare was a bit sluggish compared to Siegfried, Siegfried was much more fluid in comparison

@@NidokingOtsutsuki so basically Nightmare is good at going from 0-100 but bad at every speed between that?
Siegfried is an excellent example of a character who seeks redemption and goes from villian to hero unlike Patroklos!
You should do the history of Soul Edge (Inferno) and of Soul Calibur (Elysium) and also Hilde. :D
How is seigfried any different from patroklos? They were both young and dumb, both manipulated by evil swords, and both try to make things right.
@@CountofBleck the diference Is That Siegfried pay a unfair high price for His mistake and after that he dedicated Is whole life to amend His sins , patroklos was just antes arrogant whelp
@@000mjd . The difference is that Patroklos has appeared just in ONE game. Siefgried needed 6 games to reach that point. Just saying.
Siegfried is a Chonky Buff Cake
Both dumb kids who did dumb shit. Siegfried did wayyyyyy dumber shit and became a better person in the end. Other than that, they are the same. Hence why Sieg trusted patroklos with the sword.

Siegried, A Rising Hero who turns himself into the villain.
Truly, this idea should prove to be something special, especially if used correctly.

Do a video on Taki!!
Taki has always been my favorite character, so my vote goes to her. :)
Taki all day. That's bae
Siegfried/Nightmare the GOATS of Soul Calibur
I started the series at Soulcalibur 2, and I have been a Seigfried main ever since. I grew to appreciate what I could glean of his story, but thank you for this video it connected a lot of pieces for me.
Ivy
Hold on, what about Sigfried training Petrokalos, so that way he realizes the true form in which to use Soul Calibur
Taki
You're In my way, STAND ASIDE!
'Ive never had such an easy victory' BADMAN!! His bad ending in soul blade was kinda sad
His /good/ ending in Soul Blade was pretty sad too :(
@@1wngdngl Yeh. I think he was born cursed.

I Concur 👋🖐 💯
I love Siegfried❤️
do kilik next pleasseee
Ahh, I remember this game well, and of course .. being pitted against Ivy every god damn time my parents walked in the room.
Ivy. Her story is more compelling. Also great video. I love this series.
Her story is boring.
Siegfried is like the combination of Guts and Griffith. Let the "Beserk" fans click the like button :)
Siegfried=over compensating
I'd get a feeling tht this one was became cursed king right !?
and he's also a part of triple D ( card ) wow
Basically tekken Lars from a different universe
But isn’t nightmare seigfried?? So how did they fight each other?
Zasalamel is a master with recarination. So hes at fault that Nightmare got resurrected. Instead of Siegfried as a host. It was Inferno after 3
6:45 I laughed my fucking ass off
Fuck yeah to that Periphery outro.
Cool
