SoulCalibur 2 – The Best One? Gameplay & Lore Retrospective

#soulcalibur2 #soulcalibur #fightinggames

Boy-Oh-Boy, sorry for the delay but it's finally out, my 9th video!

SoulCalibur II remains one of the most fun and polished 3D fighters of its era. Its gameplay kept me hooked the whole way through! even if the story wasn’t quite as strong.

This project took a lot of time and energy, and I’m proud of the result. Huge thanks to everyone from the SoulCalibur Discord who helped along the way. I hope you enjoy this retrospective as much as I enjoyed making it!

Next up will be SoulCalibur III, but that one will take longer. probably closer to two months instead of one.
