I always like the idea of getting deep into fighting games, but my interest tends to wax and wane.
Sometimes, I’ll have delusions of grandeur, and get all fired up thinking I can stick with a single game for long enough to become competitive (and more importantly stay competitive) in online bouts. Other times, I’m perfectly content to sit on the sidelines and just watch the pros do their thing at Evo.
Soulcalibur II is one of my all-time favorites. It’s an absolute banger. I can’t tell you how many hours I spent working my through the Weapon Master adventure mode. And when my memory card fizzled out, I happily did it all again. The unlocks were nice, sure, but the journey was fun in and of itself.
I’ve slipped off the Soulcalibur series in recent years, but it’s been long enough that I’m itching to get back in with a vengeance. So far, Soulcalibur VI has seemed like a good point of reentry for folks like me. After playing several matches at E3, I can confirm that yes, yes it is. (And Nightmare is an SOB.)
