Soul Calibur 3

I traded my copy in, but I'll likely pick it up again once it hits the $20 mark.

In Soul Calibur 2, I almost exclusively used Talim. She was quick, evasive, and had some real painful combos and lots of juggle attacks. In Soul Calibur 3 however, I've noticed she's been handicapped. Not quite as evasive, not nearly as quick, and her moves have been changed for the worse. It was difficult for me to readjust to her style of play, so I moved on.

I also like to use Seung Mina in SC3. Her moves are separate from Kilik now which is a bonus, she seems to move a bit faster and her attacks are quicker. Xianghua still retains most of her characteristics which is a good thing.

Of the new characters, I find myself playing Tira more than Zasalamel and Setsuka. Her moves are quick, fairly unpredicatable with the right combinations, and she's at least a bit evasive. In spite of my favor toward close-range combat, I regularly used her longer-range moves, but I made liberal use of her shorter ones.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't like Zasalamel simply due to his sheer lack of combos. When I played him, I wasn't able to pull off lengthy combos -- usually just single strikes. :/

There's nowhere I can't reach.

And I'll give you that Eleo, when create-a-character sucks. But with Soul Calibur 3, they've done arguably one of the best jobs as far as the level of detail is concerned. They could've done with some of the less retarded wardrobe choices, granted, but I think what's there is done right. It's probably the one true saving grace of this third iteration.

Of course, the yin to creation's yang here is that Talim turned from an agile, strong girl to a crippled elderly woman in a wheelchair. Damn you Namco. Damn you to HELL.

I belive Soul Calibur 3 is also coming to the Xbox 360. Last I heard anyway.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
