Dual Longplay by VCDECIDE
Nem parece que se foram 19 anos do lançamento desta obra de arte joguei demais ambas as versões praticamente vejo diferenças mínimas mas a versão Cube tem o Link que ao meu ver o torna a melhor versão pela exclusividade do personagem no mais o game é incrível em todas as 3 plataformas ,embora meu Soul Calibur favorito até hj seja o primeiro no Dreamcast ,aquilo me causou um choque quando vi pela primeira vez em 99 e é lindo até os dias de hoje.
O Link luta de forma parecida com a Cassandra. A versão da PS2 tem em exclusivo o Heihachi Mishima: "That´s all you´ve got? Not even worth my breath!"
Eu só jogava Soul calibur no idioma japonês, muito mais épico! Jogaço!
Eu tinha no Xbox,era o spawn que vinha no lugar do link e heihachi ,pensa num apelão kkk
Nossa, mas o Link é uma bosta e não tem nada a ver com um jogo como esse, destoa totalmente.
Eu gostava da versão do Xbox por causa do Spawn como personagem exclusivo... Mas principalmente por ser a única que tinha um modo HD já naquela época rodava em 720p se tu usasse cabo componente e habilitasse a resolução na dashboard. Mas por ser fan de Zelda também curto o link na versão de cube
Fantastic game! both versions are very similar... maybe it's only matter of taste, consoles, controllers or simply the brand of your election. Great episode, dear friend of VCDecide, regards!
In my opinion soul Calibur 2 and 3 were the best in the series
4 was good too .
True
PSP version
The amount of hours I put on this game... One of my first PS2 games
On this occasion PS2 in 480p and Gamecube in 480i therefore PS2 looking much sharper. I'd like to see like for like with the same resolutions available. Almost all PS2 games in 480p via GSM, almost all GC in 480p via Wii and almost all Xbox games as standard in 480p are possible. Great work as always :)
The PS2 version has the Progressive Scan mode enabled, that's why it looks sharper whereas the Gamecube looks softer. Obviously the Gamecube has anti-aliasing and shorter load times, but other than there doesn't seem to be much difference.
Gamecube games could do progressive scan on Wii, not sure if it was used for the GC version in this video, but it still has better color, lighting, and load times even in this video.
Game cube could do progressive scan aswell
@@mattwolf2000 I know that all versions of SC2 can output Progressive Scan, I'm just saying that the Gamecube didn't have it activated in this video, so it wasn't really a fair comparison.
Ps2 lacks anti aliasing has longer loading and has more slowdown
Much like the Xbox and Dreamcast, the Gamecube actually uses a deflicker filter for 480i content (even in 480p mode).
That's why the PS2 looks crisp on a CRT!
The games looked identical from what I could tell. The only difference is the GC had faster load times than the PS2.
Good stuff!
Há mais serrilhado no Gamecube por outro lado.
PS2 has noticeable jaggies, but the textures are sharp.
The GC version has blurry textures throughout.
However, I think both are great ports.
The AC version runs on System 246, a system based on the PS2 board, so perhaps it is the PS2 version that is more like the AC version.
Can't really tell which one better, both looks nice to me. SC2 is one of my top favorite fight game on ps2 era, SC2 was the best in whole SC series. SC2 also got my most favorite Nightmare custome design!
If you're not a PC gamer, you probably won't know what areas you should be looking for.
The GameCube is struggling with tessellation and anisotropic filtering.
Pause at 3:39 and look at the pathway leading up to the temple doors - the GameCube version is lacking detail on the tiles the further you go into the background, whereas the PS2 version maintains its distance detail.
Also look at the grass textures in the background, the GameCube is less detailed here also, the image is more blurry and lacking texture resolution.
Overall though, there's not much in it, Soul Calibur 2 was great no matter what platform you were playing it on.
@@Longlostpuss Yup, you are right. I used to be a fully console game player. I see, thanks for explaining and pointing out the different.
I don't know why this game is worse in the GC version.
They need to remove Heihachi Mishima Link & Spawn from this Game by putting Edge Master as Selectable Character being Voiced by Victor Stone in English & Daisuke Gori in Japanese also Siegfried Schtauffen as Selectable Standalone Character instead of being 2ed or 3rd Costume for Nightmare Unfinished is Incomplete Namco should redo Soul Calibur 2 (Soul Calibur 3) over on Playstation 2 & Xbox 260 without Remakes no Reboots not Remasters never Updates nor Upgrades forget about HD & Backwards Compabilities by bringing back Hwang Sung Kyung Rock Li Long Seung Mina Sophitia Archuleta Shienroneck Scheherazade Aeieon Calcos Arthur Roskie Abelia Schillfelt & Aurelia Dichala Doliacek as Returning Characters to Unlock in both Arcade & Console Versions including Seong Myeong & Greed with Appearance Resemblance Similar to Sub-Zero with Unmasked Form from Mortal Kombat 3 Mortal Kombat 5 & maybe even Mortal Kombat 10 by Midway as New Characters in all Versions Charade with Appearance Resemblance Similar to Ganondorf from The Legend Of Zelda & Super Smash Brothers
GameCube looks better. PS2 has no anti aliasing.
It's been at least 18 to 19 years since I've played SoulCalibur II on the Playstation 2 and Gamecube.
1. Gamecube wins out on loading times.
2. On both versions the way the wind interacts with hair and clothing is quite good.
Also better anisotropic filtering on gamecube.
@@georgewhitbread1983 Really? I thought the patterns stay intact better on the ps2 version. Especially around 4:54 the ps2 floor tiles look better in the distance.
@@georgewhitbread1983 The anti-aliasing looks better on the GC though.
Namco & Bandai defuse so They can bring back Abelia Schillfelt Aeieon Calcos Arthur Roskie Aurelia Dichala Doliacek
Edge Master Hwang Sung Kyung Li Long Rock Scheherazade Seung Mina Shienroneck Siegfried Schtauffen & Sophitia Archuleta in both Arcade Version Playstation 2 & Xbox 260 including Greed & Seong Myeong in it too
@@blakenapier3125 I concur my friend exactly right!
Cuando te das cuenta que tuviste la mejor versión y lo descubres casi 20 años después , yo tuve la del CUBO y ver a link en el juego era lo máximo y corría muy rápido y bien Fluido
Ya esperaba ver este vídeo 👍👋👋😁
Now that is how you port a game! Namco nailed it out of the park with these ports.
Yep
When I said Fix to Redo these over I didn't mean Backwards Compabilities they can't leave The Original Version Unfinished or Incomplete without other Main Characters or leave Guest Characters in
É impressionante todos esses efeitos de luz e partículas no PS2 com um Hardware tão limitado.
Jogo leve... Bem otimizado roda liso!
se tem uma coisa q o ps2 faz bem é efeitos de luz e partículas.
PS2 é o console com maior fillrate da geração.
@@sfwilliamGuile gran turismo 4 que o diga
The Arcade Version of Soul Calibur 2 ran on PS2 based hardware so there wasn't much compromises that needed to be done when porting to PS2 except load times aren't instant like the other versions.
Gamecube is the best of the best, look at Resident evil 4 as well - the GameCube version is just beautiful
Are they both in 480i or 480P Resolution?
both still look and sound great, are both in progressive scan mode? I know Gamecube games on the Wii would offer the option. Anyway, I think the GC game looks just slightly better with better lighting and use of color., but they both look awesome even in 2022.
Progressive Scan on the GameCube required a connection through the Digital A/V port, which was removed from later models of the system. The official component cables actually did a digital-to-analog conversion on the signal, but nowadays there are HDMI adapters you can buy.
But for absolute best graphics quality, the "right" choice is Dolphin at a drastically increased rendering resolution.
@@Formedras I know the Wii ran Gamecube on progressive scan.
@@hepwo91222 You're not listening. I didn't say "The Wii didn't," I said "The GameCube did."
Soul Calibur 4 (Soul Calibur 5) Soul Calibur 5 (Soul Calibur 6) & Soul Calibur 6 (Soul Calibur 7) should be fixed over to have Gameplay Soul Edge Design with those again alongside Better Storylines Endings and other stuff like The 4 Soul Calibur Games by Namco only again but no Bandai
I think they forgot to do it as there wasn't a message about it on the right.
Looks like ps2 version has better texture filtering outside the ring, and probably Gamecube has antiflicker like another games (i know its for 480i purposes, but games in 480p has this thing enabled as well and looks blurry af)
Is the GC version running in progressive scan?
Such a shame Link did not return in Soul Calibur 2 HD Online. I get the reason why because it was on the Playstation 3 and XBOX 360 and not the Nintendo Wii. But similar to how I feel about the Donkey Kong County trilogy and Golden Eye being excluded out of Rare Replay. It just doesn't feel the same without him.
Simple : Link belongs to Nintendo and the solution for Bamco is to release SC2 HD Online on WiiU or Switch.
@@Shadow-gz2hg most likely the Switch since it's more revelant.
Donkey Kong is owned by Nintendo, so that's why you don't see the DKC SNES Trilogy on Rare Replay. Microsoft bought the rights to Banjo and Conker, so that's why you see those games in RR.
A Switch version of SCII with Link would be awesome! The closest that we've ever got to having all three guest characters in the same game is SCII Plus, which is a GameCube hack that imports Heihachi's and Spawn's movesets and voicelines while using Mitsurugi's and Necrid's models, respectively. That mode also has a playable Inferno.
Officially, HDO is the closest to the three guest characters being in the same game as it has all but Link in it. A Switch port would fix all of that IMO, but Bamco is probably too scared to put the game out across all platforms as it would make the game unequal across different platforms (i.e., Kratos only being on the PS3 version of MK9, Cole McGrath and co. appearing only in the PS3/Vita versions of SFxT, etc.). I think porting SCII on modern consoles again would generate a bunch of money for them (though SCII:HDO is also available on Xbox Series/One due to backwards compatibility).
@@theonewhowrotethis5681 yes I'm completely aware that Donkey Kong is owned by Nintendo and 007 is owned by MGM. I just wished that they were included into Rare Replay.
But in all seriousness, I would love Soul Calibur 2 HD Online for the Nintendo Switch with several improvements such as balancing issues (Raphael is extremely broken in SC2), have Lizardman unlocked from the start (please Bamco don't force me to play the entire Weapon Master Mode including the Extra Missions to unlock this dumb dinosaur), and have Inferno be the final unlockable playable character instead (a much more appropriate reward for completing a long grinding mode).
Mini-DVD space shouldn't be a problem for creating good textures on the Gamecube, having S3's great texture compression system built into its architecture. Namco may have seen the work of Ubi Soft or Capcom for this console.
Running them both in person. The PS2 version is a lot jagger than the GC version, but still plays really well. The GC version is a bit better. Both pale in comparison to the xbox version.
Soul calibur 2, junto com Tekken 4, representam pra mim o auge da namco, com jogos lindos graficamente, ótima trilha sonora, história, modos de jogo e jogabilidade. Estavam entre os meus jogos favoritos do PS2.
GameCube Version hast Note FPS?
Not much, nur looking softer
Soul Calibur 2 was the last "outstanding" game in the series imo.
Truth 💯
They left it Unfinished and Incomplete The Games should be redo over by fixing it
GC wins just for having Link.
Heihachi: Survive by falling into a volcano and a huge explosion. 💪
Link: Dies when attacked by a chicken. 🐔
@@fnotisforfriendship8596 You underestimate that chicken, my friend. Heihachi may have survived a volcano and huge explosion, but the chicken is no ordinary chicken. It possesses the power to summon a never-ending stream of attacking brethren from the infinite multiverse. That chicken is legion, for it is many.
There is something wrong with your input device on PS2, there is a static noice, I guess that video and audio are sharing the same ground.
"THE LEGEND WILL NEVER DIE"!
Best soul caliber dreamcast
I got all three versions of this game (Gladly the Xbox version is backwards compatible with Xbox 360 which i cant say the same for many of Microsoft's exclusive games sadly). Since there are only two in display most notably the PS2 and GameCube versions. Ill have to compare just those two since Xbox is irrelevant to the topic right now.
Clearly it looks like PS2 and GameCube have different resolution sizes (Im not sure which is the smaller one), the opening cinematic has one different character from the other. Heihachi Mishima from the Tekken series shows up in the PS2 opening while Link from the Legend of Zelda series shows up in the GameCube opening. GameCube seems to have faster loading times. On the Character roster screen, Heihachi and Link are positioned in the same exact spot, each with their own weapon of choice (If you wanna consider Heihachi's armor and fist a weapon that is). That was probably self explanatory but i guess it should be stated anyway. They both have many different weapons to choose from in the unlockable Special modes as well if you buy them from the Weapon Master mode. Obviously as well Heihachi and Link both have different stories and different rival matches (sub bosses) too, along with different endings. They both also have different embu demonstrations (I guess to simplify what i mean they show off their moves on screen when the game is left on with no one playing). In the gallery Heihachi and Link each have their own art made for them to view. Another major difference between the PS2 and GameCube version of the game is that that GameCube version has Zelda easter eggs. Many musical easter eggs. When playing as Link, every time you win a match, you hear the "Item Found" jingle from the Zelda games. You can also have the theme of the first Zelda game (the Overworld version) play when you are playing as Link in Sophitia and Cassandra's stage or during Link's sub boss fight with Raphael. With Heihachi in the PS2 version of SoulCalibur 2, i guess it just slightly feels like youre playing Tekken in a sense. Other than that, no easter eggs in the PS2 game to my knowledge.... Thats it. There are no major differences between the GameCube and PS2 versions of SoulCalibur 2. The gameplay feels and looks the same. All the other characters fight the same way the always done in the game. It is pretty much the same game with each having their own guest representative, so it just all comes down to your personal preferences or availability based on what console you have.
This game is a fan favorite among the Soul Series. No entry that appeared after has topped this entry as of yet from what i seen. I personally love this game as this was the game that got me into the series. However my favorite entry was SoulCalibur 3 (Yes, 3 lol). Talim is my favorite character in this game an the series as a whole. Plus i turns out Talim was the number most popular character of the series too which makes me like her more. We also share a couple of commonalities like being born on the 15th of June and having unknown blood types as i have yet to find out what mine is too. Also Fun Fact about the PS2 and Xbox version of the game (I know i said the Xbox version was irrelevant but i feel this should be said in this regard since im no longer comparing at this moment). Originally, Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII (7) was meant to be in the PS2 game, but issues occurred resulting in Heihachi being in the game. Kasumi from the Dead or Alive series was also meant to be in the Xbox version of SoulCalibur 2 and i wish she did make it in. Sadly issues also occurred resulting in Spawn getting in instead.
irrelevant your born and blood type
@@marcosvaldez8510 Okay...?
Poor Dreamcast, not invited to the party on this one or any other, I wonder what exclusive character they would have had put in?
Someone from Golden Axe, perhaps.
It's the Flicker Filter that makes the GameCube more blurrier, a real problem on GameCube games even with support for progressive scan, not all games disable Flicker Filter when enabling 480p, Wii have this same problem, and it's a very awful situation. Using Nintendont we can force Flicker Filter off, I don't know If it's possible to do the same with Swiss, but when comparing we must adhere to what the game offers and not use mods. And another thing, Soul Calibur 2 is just 920MB in size on both Xbox and GameCube because textures are compressed, for know I don't know it's size on PS2 but I will look and update this when I find It. Another reason for blurry textures is Trilinear Filter, Xbox uses It too and It is really annoying when playing SC2 in 720p, but on the PS2 It uses Linear Filter without mipmaps, this makes textures fully sharp on any distance at the cost of pixel craw, most PS2 games don't use Bilinear or Trilinear Filter to save resources, like we seen on 7th and 8th gen where Anisotropic Filter where 4x at max.
Edit: Now I have all the information needed, SC2 consists of 3 files + the executable for both 3 versions: "BGM.afs", "Movie.afs" and "Root.olk". Root is the game, bgm is music and movie is the CGI Intro, PS2 and Xbox have the same size for both Root.olk (672MB) and BGM.asf (228MB), but Movie.asf is bigger on Xbox (418MB) vs PS2 (164MB). Total size for Xbox is 1,27GB and 1,04GB for PS2. GameCube have smaller size for 2 files than Xbox and PS2, Root.olk (560,21MB) and BGM.asf (156,19MB), but Movie is bigger than PS2 (269,29MB), total size for GameCube is 768MB. I don't know why Namco made the music and main game files smaller than the PS2 but the movie file bigger, instead of keeping them the same size as the total Mini-DVD capacity is 1,35GB, it's enough for even the Xbox version, very strange. One funny catch about the PS2, it have 3 dummy files of 1GB each, anti piracy method for sure, but in my opinion it's a waste of space, only the main game file would fit in a CDRom, people would have to play the game without music (and probably would do, I remember Dreamcast backups without music and FMVs, people simple don't care) 🤮
The game literally does not exists on the Dreamcast.
People in the comments: Where's the Dreamcast port?
Then they mean the original soulcalibur
Personally i like more the Gamecube version for include Link.
A inclusion more interesting an unique in conparation to Heihachi from Tekken for the PS2 version.
I never got Heihachi's inclusion. He's not even a weapon wielder. Spawn? Sure, he's got those crazy chain blade things.
@@SomeOrangeCat Instead of Heihachi, better included Spawn in the PS2 version too and Ryu Hayabusa in the Xbox version
@@MaycolGamer026 Yeah. That would have made a lot of sense!
@@MaycolGamer026 I totally agree with you. Spawn should have been on the Playstation 2 version instead of Heihachi. As cool as Ryu Hayabusa is, I personally would have liked Spinal or Tusk from Killer Instinct for the Xbox version.
PS2 version: doesn't have Link.
GC version: has Link.
I think we know which one the winner is.
Yes, the Xbox version
Got PS2, I don't see any major differences ...
Any way one od my favorite beatem'up games of all times... Probably X-Box will be beat cuz its more powerfull than PS and Cube but i don't Care i luv this game...
But ... My very favorite and one of first 3D beatem'up was Soul Blade ( Edge ) that was first to the series and my favorite and i've got IT from '95 on my collection ♥️
I remember back then , ive got Sega megadrive ( Genesis ) and my friend in '96 got PlayStation ...
Shock that i have took....
I don't know what i must see today to have this feeling from the past ... Maybe see an ufo ...
It was new quality .... Full 3D , animatuon fluidness its hard to explain ...
From 2D graphic to full 3D ...
Nothing give me more emotions than this ( im video games industry ).
Great channel keep It going i love IT !!!!
Xbox version is native 720p. That was insane at the time and leagues better than 480p. Alot of 360 and ps3 games weren't even full 720p!
I always thought GC version was superior to PS2 but I see now that every texture is lower res, just the loading is much faster as always
.
There was a right way to use the GC's texture cache that few devs used, but when used right you get RE4 with better textures on GC and much worse on PS2.
I think the low res impression u see here is cause the 480p vs 480i. There is no point in having lower res textures in a gamecube that has double the vram (4mb vs 8mb).
480p can be forced in Gamecube, and overall, performance is better. So yes, GC is superior.
@@Reltdeats oh I didn't know about the vram, I'd like to research more about these 3 games, must have been crazy to develop.
The video forgot to activate Progressive Scan for GameCube as you don't see the option turned on at the start. As such, it's an unfair comparison for the GameCube as the PS2's being run at 480p while the GameCube's being run at 480i (though GameCube component cables are super expensive).
A more fair comparison would've been to either have both in 480i or both in 480p. That way, there's no disparity in resolutions.
Gamecube discs held alot less data than ps2 that could be why
Why is the text capitalised at the top of the loading screen on gcn? Weird change.
That moment you realize that Soul Calibur 2 Definitive Edition MUST be a Nintendo exclusive because of Link.
It being Definitive, it needs all three guest fighters. Heihachi already belongs to Bandai Namco, and Spawn, they’d just have to renew the license again. But since Link is copyrighted by Nintendo, and Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox would never let their mascots be on other consoles, a theoretical SC2 DE will 100% be Nintendo exclusive.
No.
There's a hack for the GameCube version that imports Heihachi's and Spawn's movesets called SCII Plus. However, their models haven't been imported yet, so it's just Mitsurugi punching and kicking like Heihachi and Necrid using a sword like Spawn's axe.
I'll play on any ports! Catch me on Gamecube, XBOX, & PlayStation 2! lol
Este juego fue echo con el motor del primer soul Calibur echo para el sistema Dreamcast . originalmente es para la consola de SEGA y estaba terminado y luego de su descalificación o sea su cancelación paso a ser porteado a otras consolas.
SoulCalibur 2 fue desarollado y lanzado originalmente en 2002 para arcade Nanco System 246 y en el año seguinte lanzado para las consolas. Dónde has leído que el juego ya estaba listo para la consola de sega? Me gustaría leerlo también...
saludo ✌️
Necrid should be Orange also on Arcade Version like Console Versions
The game was developed on the PS2 and then ported to the Gamecube and Xbox. The arcade version also ran on a PS2.
To me it looks like PS2 is sharper than GC which really surprises me. I bought the GC version because of Link back when it came out. I may have to pick up the PS2 version now just for the sharper visuals. Easily the best guest character ever out of any SC game is LINK. Excellent game & my god SC 3 on PS2 in Progressive Scan is stunning & 1 of the greatest 3D fighters ever!!
Apparently they forgot to use Progressive Scan for the GameCube version in this comparison (at least based on comments on this video). As such, the GameCube version potentially could look sharper in a proper comparison.
if you want better visuals get the xbox version it kills both the ps2 and cube in graphics
7:18 perfect mirror HAHAHA
Has the Namco system 256 ver ever been compared to?
To my understanding it was just a PS2 board in the machines. It’s probably a little more complicated than that but that’s how I understood it.
We need 16 Selectables & 16 Unlockables on here right now for Unfinished Incomplete Original Versions
Why you miss the xbox version?
Oh man.i really can't tell the difference other then the GameCube having no load time and Heiaichi being in the ps2 version while Link is in the GameCube version.im pretty sure there are other differences,but,they are to subtle for me to see them.
I remember doing tests on these and without you tube compression my test went.
1st Xbox
2nd Gamecube
3rd PS2
it was a long time ago when i compared the graphics on my own tv. The difference is more subtle here due to compression i assume, but more pronounced when you do the test yourself.

The game was developed for the Namco System 246 which basically was a PS2 on steroids. It makes sense that the game will have a bit of an edge on the PS2. Still this is one of those games that is worth playing on all platforms. So much soul and style, it's a shame that they didn't do a HD Online version for the Wii U with the link and the other two characters included.
I own this game and both ps2 and GameCube
the gamecube had the iconic Link as a playable character, but from what I saw the ps2 win this round, the texture, resolution, colors and sharpness all looks better on the ps2 version.... also the GameCube had faster load times so there's that.
overall this game is awesome no matter what platform you're playing it at, I remember when I first playing it on the ps2 back then and got blown away by its graphics, female characters had some next level smooth body parts, not just boobs physics like in DOA or Tekken, the environment had some crazy amount of small details, clothes had realistic physics, the lighting is amazing! evern after i played a lot's of modern games and now going back looking at this it seems like it's hold up really well, this is the most Soulcalibur game I ever played in the series.
Not much of a difference. The PS2 lacks Anti aliasing and from memory had more slow downs than the Gamecube. The Xbox version can run at 720p but sacrifices wide screen support.
16:9 Widescreen Support at 480p >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 4:3 at 720p
@@TheThingKing the fact that it can even run it 720p shows the horsepower difference. That's a massive gulf in power to push that many more pixels.
I believe this is a 1:1 port since I don't find any real difference between those more than the loading time and a sileghty more saturation color on GC, obviously taking in consideration PS2 had Heihachi as a playable character and GC had Link
And the PS2 kind of sileghty sharper textures... Almost unoticeable, and surprising for me
@@budaroddy
Easiest to see in the dirt behind Talim at 3:32. Detail is lost, either because of over-aggressive smearing or because they needed to fit all the art assets into a smaller disc space.
With that said, I'll take Link or Spawn over the PS2's guest star any day.

Dude, OG Xbox ran this in 720. Why u care bout peasant versions?
Yeah but the XBox version lacks 16:9 widescreen support which the PS2 version includes. The PS2 version runs in progressive scan at 480p resolution, so although not as crisp as the XBox port it still looks great when enabled for widescreen.
@@TheThingKing the issue is, 480p widescreen does work on Xbox 16:9 and they've patched 720p widescreen recently
PS2 and GameCube version sold better and had Widescreen support (though I believe it's anamorphic widescreen if I'm not mistaken). GameCube version runs amazingly well with widescreen while in Progressive Scan mode (PS2 ain't far off TBH).
I can hardly see the difference.
I love this ones!
I love PS2 over any other console but I know Xbox and Gamecube have better hardware, soo I like to see how this games looks on those consoles
somehow despite GC being more powerful but this game looks better on ps2
@@ivey77426 yes! Surprising! Thats work of the devs, Nintendo should have paid them more to optimize the game rather than have Link as a playable character

They probably forgot to activate progressive scan when recording GameCube. There was no message at the start for it.
I notice that the timer is faster on PS2.
PS2 better textures. GC better anti-aliasing and some details like the extra background layer on Sophitias stage
GameCube version seems to run at a slighly higher resolution.
Nope
Other than some anti-aliasing on the GameCube they both pretty much look identical

Mais um vez um jogo que já sabido ser identico entre as plataformas. Porque você traz apenas essa minoria de jogos da sexta geraçao que sabidamente ao possuem diferenças ao inves de mostrar os jogos que tem sim muita diferença?
Também não vi nenhuma diferença entre a versão de PS2 e GameCube
Big sound difference between the two version, ps2 audio is really better than gc's one (sound very flat).

You left out the Xbox edition, the game features Spawn, and is later joined with Heihachi Mishima in HD Online edition for PS3 and XB360.
La version de Gamecube la encuentro superior
-No me gusta el pestañeo de las texturas en la version de PS2
-Las dos tienen dientes de sierra, pero la version de PS2 se nota mas este defecto
-La version de Ps2 tiene mayor nitidez en las texturas
-La version de Gamecube carga mas rapido
-La version de Gamecube tiene a Link, que encaja perfectamente en la ambientacion del juego, comparado con Heihachi o Spawn
La mejor version es la de la Xbox classica

PS2 looks sharper than nintendo.
The GameCube also has progressive scan mode. It's just not enabled for this video.
Nintendo Games should move on to being for Playstation & Xbox Consoles like Sega while those 2 appear in Each Other's Consoles instead of Exclusives
@@blakenapier3125 With the current sales of the Switch being where they're at, I HIGHLY doubt that Nintendo will be multi-plat anytime soon. Maybe 20 years down the road, but definitely not anywhere in the near future. You can make the argument that Sony and Microsoft are more likely to be multi-plat due to Sony making games for PC and Microsoft making ports for the Switch now these days.
@@theonewhowrotethis5681 They can't do that forever Soul Calibur 6 (Soul Calibur 7) isn't staying off of Playstation 3 & Xbox 360 onwards while Soul Calibur 1 (Soul Calibur 2) won't remain for Dreamcast always including
I Really like better the Gamecube version of SC2 because of Link which in my opinon is the best guest character in series
The GC version is clearly better.
??? Where? Ps2 version is sharper, sharper textures, a lot better texture-filtering
Sombr SR Could argue
@@ivey77426 game cube has anti aliasing. PS2 a lot of jagggies
@@ivey77426 GC has better lighting, color, and I am not even sure they enabled progressive scan on both? Also GC has better load times. As for special character, thats a preference if you would rather get Heihachi or Link?
GameCube gráficos sao melhores
Dreamcast?
Soul Caliber II never came out for that platform.
Soul Calibur 1 (Soul Calibur 2) can be deported from Dreamcast Xbox Live Mobile & IOS to Playstation 2 & Xbox 260 while
Soul Calibur 6 (Soul Calibur 7) on Playstation 3 & Xbox 360 not Switch no Playstation 4 Playstation 5 or PC nor Xbox 460 or
Xbox 560
Sega dreamdrive wins bcoz such-and-such and all that!
Dreamcast wins
This 😀

Para mi es mejor GameCube
GameCube is better Links makes it no contest
Se ve mejor en PS2, pero por muy poco.
Definitely the gamecube version.
Not too much of a difference the anisotropic filtering Seems a little higher on PS2
The ps2 version looks sharper but i dont thinm that has anything to do with filtering, i think the gamecubes anti aliasing is bluring everything a bit because thats how some anti aliasing works.
Personally i dont think the gamecubes textures dont look that bad and i think jaggies look worse, so i would pick gamecube here.
As far as loading times, gamecube js clearly faster. What do you do after every single fight in a fighting game? You load, and this is much shorter and much less frusterating on gamecube, loading once might not be that big of a deal on ps2, but times that by how many matches in your play session.
Framerate tests would be nice to have, but i have heard in the past that ps2 verion has slightly worse framerate than the other versions.
Ill give ps2 points for having a better controller for this game. For some people this is huge.
The video apparently forgot to do Progressive Scan mode for the GameCube (at least based on comments) while doing Progressive Scan for PS2. A more proper comparison would have both in Progressive Scan mode.
Both versions are pretty solid, however. SCII is a major peak of the series for a reason!
I still have the disc and case but no ps2😢
Heihachi was the worst bonus character and Spawn was the best. Link was awesome too. PlayStation fans got dicked with Heihachi. I guess PlayStation fans made out the best though because they were the only ones to get 3
They almost had Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy 7 but Square pulled him out towards the end. That’s why they had Heihchi, because they already had assets and the Tekken team was just down the hall from them. No time for anything else.
It is not too late to add 15 Characters on here
Cloud was going to be on the PS2 version, but Square Enix pulled out. As such, Heihachi was a quick replacement that helped save some dev work for that version.
I've heard rumors that Kasumi from Koei Tecmo's DOA series was supposed to be the Xbox representative before Spawn, but I don't see sources backing that claim up anywhere. As such, it's likely an unfounded rumor that would've made sense. Dante from DMC was also supposed to be a guest character in SCIII, but that fell through as well (and that claim has more sources backing it up than the Kasumi in SCII rumor).
I believe SCIII was PS2 exclusive due to Sony paying for exclusivity rights. Had Sony not done that, I totally could've seen that game arriving on GameCube and Xbox to boost its sales (and the series doing better overall due to 2/3rds of the fanbase not being hemorrhaged thanks to SCIII). Overall sales for the series grew gradually from Soul Edge to Soulcalibur, then spiked high when Soulcalibur II was released. From there, it dipped hard when III was released, then rose again when IV was released, dipped hard again when V was released, and slightly recovered when VI was released. Had III never dipped, the series could've ended up in a much better position than it currently is in.
GameCube is better cause uh... Zelda

GameCube the Best
PS2 - Heihachi
XBox - Spawn
GC - Link
Depois não gostam qdo dizem q Nintendo é pra crianças🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nintendo's port is the only one with a SWORDSMAN, you know. Because the SWORD that is the main plot point of the game about SWORDS?
@andre brito Comparar esses personagens com Link é até uma ofensa. A franquia zelda é uma das melhores de todos os tempos.
Xbox wins!
estaria bueno q algun iluminado se anime a trasladar el juego a la Dreamcast. No es nada demandante para el hardware, solo usa mas poligonos que el juego original. Por lo demas, este y el 3 podrían correr sin problemas en DC
If you want to play: PS2.
If you want to collect: GameCube.
Ps2 have more definicion and best texture
Huh?! Am I on crack, or does the PS2 consistently looks cleaner? Look at those background assets, especially the ground textures. I used to think the Gamecube was the better option, but now I know what MLiG meant when they mentioned the more unfiltered look of the PS2 version...
PS2 version is progressive scan mode is on, GameCube version progressive scan was not turned on. So it's kinda of a unfair comparison.
@@GXSCChater Good point.
I guess the most fair comparison would be GCHDMI VS PS3 (smoothing off), both in 480p...
@@JimProfit357 They could also do both with Progressive Scan mode turned off if they didn't want to spend hundreds on a component cable. I also agree that it was an unfair comparison.
GC have link, Gamecube won
Dreamcast wins!
Na minha opinião é empate tem diferença entre as versões mas não
tanto assim assistindo o vídeo são
jogos muito parecidos a única coisa que chama atenção e que o PlayStation 2 tem um hardware inferior e o GameCube tem hardware superior com uma Midia
inferior acho que por isso não temos uma grande diferença entre as versões.
Xianghua!!!
Sega Genesis wins hands down
GC has better lighting effects (just look at the first scenario, and compare to PS2).
I went into Subway today to get a healthy sandwich. The older lady behind the counter helped me and started preparing my sandwich for me. She out of nowhere fell to the ground and started convulsing and shaking. the other teenage girl there just stepped over her and finished up my sandwich as the lady lay on the ground shaking. The two teenage girls that work there just laughed it off and said "Oh, she does this all the time." I peeked over the counter to see the lady foaming at her mouth. I then paid for my sandwich and left the establisment.
Why?
That's fucked up. The old lady may have been a diabetic with low blood sugar but that doesn't explain the foaming at the mouth. Either way you and the teenage employees are scumbags for not helping her. And what has this got to do with soul caliber 2?
was your sandwich OK? enjoyed?
