"Should i get soul calibur 2?"

I'm bored every game on my Cube well maybe i should complete Zelda master Quest and metroid prime.. but, there's a long way till the next best thing ala Mario kart, F zero, Rebel Strike, 1080 etc.
So should i get Soul Calibur 2 even though i havent got a single fighting game in my life (maybe cos i've had a nintendo 64 which had very few fighting games..)
Most important thing is.. is it worth it?

Link is easy in the single mode... just learn to play as someone else too for the multiplayer.

Yea i always do that..

Link is the best character for ring outs... but in multplayer he sucks...

Most people notch up combos by tapping A and Y with various direction keys... doing that too fast with Link reveals a bomb or a boomerang or a bow and arrow making the job much harder!

I have found that link is the best character for ring-outs, if you lure them to the edge of the arena then use his front A+B grab move then you will almost certainly get them out (you must have his back to the edge). Once you've gotten used to using the attack then you will have to practice until you have beaten those damn idiots.

It took me about 20 tries to do it in round 2 of the WMM, and also the about the same amount of times in the similar event in chapter 8.

yea but there's a lot to learn in that list!

I just went into practice mode and went down the list looking at all the moves, plus doin weapon master will help you earn weapons which can help. I've just got to unlock lizardman, but the level to unlock subchapter 2 is impossible. I figured that i have to get ring outs but it is impossibe.

Someone help me... how can i learn all those moves ?
Or do i just learn some of them which i think will be useful?

Yes, it was Soul Blade.
I still have it.

The intro really is one of the best ever. Still looks pretty decent as well.

"Welcome to a stage in history" or something. Whatever the bloke says at the start. It's something new in SC2, but much worse.

Got it yesterday.

Incredible.

Just started the 2nd go-though of Weapon Master bit. Ouch.
But good ol' Link's always there for me. He really does rule.

As do Taki's bouncers. Very nice.

I completed it the first time, but the second playing is solid...
