Got my new issue of EGM in the
mail today. I've always wondered why they release issues a month early, but it's alright,
we'll forgive them about it... this time. Anyways, they have a great feature on Soul
Calibur 2 in it, packed with some great info as well as screenshots. Unfortunately I don't
have a scanner, so you guys are out of luck. Here's a quick summary of what new info EGM
is able to provide us with on this exciting new title.
- The release date for SC2 in Japan (On Gamecube) is projected to be Spring 2002. If you
notice on the release date page, I have it as Summer 2002. I was close! =\
- U.S. version may have english voiceovers (ack)
- Fighting arenas are now complete with walls and uneven terrain, a la Virtua Fighter 3
- Characters make different noises depending on the terrain.
- Two new features called Avoid and Break. I'm guessing Avoid is to execute some sidesteap
move and Break might be either to break someone's guard, or to maybe break a weapon?
- There will be 16 - 20 characters with at least 5 being totally new characters. The new
characters are Cassandra (Sophitia's younger sister), Wovama, a young female warrior, a
Korean character (probably the Hwang looking type fellow), a French swordsman wielding a
Rapier, and a Pacific Islander brandishing Tonfas.
- Returning to the foray are Mitsurugi, Taki, Ivy, Siegried, Nightmare, Astraroth,
Xianghua, Cervantes, Voldo, Kilik, and Yoshimitsu. No Hwang-bang this time around? I guess
I was right about the screenshots the first time.
