Easily the original Soul Calibur on the DreamCast for me, that game still holds up amazingly well, everything past Soul Calibur II was excess.

Dos. It's the only Soul Calibur that I actually had fun with.

You are missing Soul Calibur Legends and Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny.

Soul Caliber II all the way.

" You are missing Soul Calibur Legends and Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny. "

Yeah, I personally think the second is the best. It added some really cool characters like Talim and Raphael.

Either soul blade 
 
Or soul Calibur 2

You know what, I probably put the most time into IV because of the character creation.  1 and 2 were both very good too.  1 especially had that more compelling weapon master mode, or whatever.  If SCIV had that, it would have been the best SC ever.
 
Soul Edge just had the awesome intro song.

Soulcalibur IV. The character customisation was done so right here, it looked great, online was solid, it looked gorgeous, I'd say the only downside was the lack of story, which really helped Soulcalibur II stand out as a great fighting game. I <3 Soulcalibur.

Soul Calibur II. I played the shit out of that game with friends on the gamecube. Definitely my favorite.

Another reason why the original Soul Calibur is my favorite is because that was before Namco felt they absolutely HAD to put ill fitting tie-in characters in every new installment, though Kratos works decently enough in Broken Destiny.

Real men play Street Fighter.                      THAT'S RIGHT, I WENT THERE!!!

2...it had Link!

Agreed... That game blew me out of the water when the dreamcast arrived... The only other game that managed something near that was Tekken 3. "

The second one was pure awesome, the only fighting game with that stupid map-storymode-thing that I actually enjoyed.

Ultimate fix. "

Essentialy, all fighting games are button mashers. Hurm.

You're so right
 

1 & 2 were great, missed out on 3 (not sure why I had a PS2 I guess I just didn't care) 4 is lots of fun just for its online mode.

" Essentialy, all fighting games are button mashers. Hurm. "

I really enjoyed the original Soul Edge, but of the SC series, SC2 is my favorite.

Wow, you fail, at least that's better then holding down the R trigger and forward on the analog stick for 10 hours.  Also, fighting games require an extreme amount of tact. "

So you do admit that they are button mashers? I agree, they do require 'extreme amount of tact' but you'll still be mashing buttons while playing them.  "

Button mashing and executing combos are completely different things. "

I know that, but i was just generalizing. Like in same way shooters require you to press thumbstick forward, hold down the right trigger and occasionaly the left trigger, fighting games are button mashers. I was stating the obvious, hence my username. "

People who call Soul Calibur or DOA button mashers have no idea how to play the game.  Just because you can make characters move and attack onscreen while mashing the buttons, that doesn't mean that you'll actually consistently beat someone who knows how to play the games (ie someone who can easily and effectively counter and reverse you).

I put sooo many hours into Soul Calibur II.

The one where Ivy's boobs are the most out of proportion is the best of course 
Real fighting game fans play Street fighter, people who like button mashing and polygonal breasts play Soul Calibur

I have the fondest memories of Soul Calibur 2, personally. I played that game for hours upon hours when it came out.
 
I also really liked Soul Calibur 4, because of online-play, and how damn gorgeous it looked. The character customization was cool, although not as good as the one from SC3. Never played SC1.

" You are missing Soul Calibur Legends and Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny. "

Those are spin-offs. "

The Dreamcast's Soul Calibur has the best , most balanced, and deepest fighting system of its franchise and its genre.   Can't believe it's 10+ years old.
