I'll never forget beating Soul Blade with this cool hero knight guy, only for him to go and grab the sword and turn into a MONSTER. I was so traumatized as a kid haha
I remember playing SC1 around 2010, when they release the game for mobile. I was really surprised that it's just a port from a game that came out in the late 90s. Cuz it looks soooo good.
I'm more surprised that Raphael became Nightmare. I don't know why, even with the Character custom, I always thought it was Siegfried. So... the Raphael we can use is Graf Dumas too, or is it another Siegfried/Nightmare moment?
"Transcending history and the world a tale of souls and swords eternally retold !" "The legend will never die !" "Welcome back to the stage of history !"
That's because up to SC2, Siegfried and Nightmare shared movesets (Siegfried was even an unlockable costume along with Requiem in SC2 rather than his own character slot). Since Nightmare is no longer Siegfried in SC3, they had to rework Nightmare's and Siegfried's movesets to tell them apart better, Nightmare getting the most changes while Sieg received very minor adjustments.
All because he wanted to find his fathers killer. When all he had to do was look in the mirror and he could have saved himself from going through this whole ordeal. Also i wish Namco would do an HD remake of Soul Blade. I need Li Long again.
2's design just seemed to have more of a quality sheen / shading texture and shape to the armour. I always wished theyd continued 2's aesthetics for the future entries. It appeared slightly more grounded than the later entries
@@Kat1kafka Yes but budget usually goes into stuff like games and movies so there’s that but I don’t really know how well 6 did for them to make another SC
A mighty cheer to the mighty nightmare! The terror known throughout Germany and the world who would know his evils and terrible Wrath! I am so proud to have him as one of my best fighters in the game and winning competitions with him!
Try to watch this video's opening couple seconds with no thoughts in mind and without looking at the screen. That was me. Them sounds had me shook for a second.
@Psycho-Thinker being able to hold a sword that isn't actually that heavy btw does not disprove anything I'm saying about him being a weakling. The guy went looking for the man that killed his dad.... when it was him lol. My statement stands
@@joshdillon9637 Yeah I didn't, it's actually my favorite game in the whole franchise but I also remember that many didn't agree with me back in those days, stating it felt choppy to play compared to other fighters.
SC2 design and SC6 pose to me. For this kind of design and theme i think that it works aesthetically better to leave him holding the sword with one arm, to highlight the armor, the monster arm and the pose (whatever is chosen, not exactly that one). Its apparently a common approach in 2d fgs making the idle stances.
Nightmare is my favourite fighting game character. Wish he would just get his own body and stay that way after he splits from Siegfried cause no one else deserves the honour of wielding that sword.
en cada entrega luce menos humano y mas consumido por la maldición. Aunque sin duda, la mejor version era en el que podia apreciarsele mitad humano y mitad demonio.

Same
Same. That scream at the beginning took me back...
poor Siegfried was his name and the terrifying twist was what made the game! lol
And then you find out the person who killed his father was him.
I think as a kid, Hwang's bad ending was more scarier then.
“My sword, do you still thirst?”
His sword: “Ye.”
Finally someone talking about soul blade/calibur
My soul still burns...
@@ahmz1404 Glad it does, I feel like SC doesn’t get the love it deserves but you planning on doing more?
I hope to do more @@Amotivatedindividual
*THE LEGEND WILL NEVER DIE!*
Soul Blade still one of the Most iconic Introsoundtracks of Gamehistorie
Soulcalibur 1 really had insane quality for 1998
That was Dreamcast version which was released 1999 not 1998, 1998 was tge Arcade version which looks like almost like Nintendo graphics.
That's what I said
I remember playing SC1 around 2010, when they release the game for mobile. I was really surprised that it's just a port from a game that came out in the late 90s. Cuz it looks soooo good.
@@FantasyNeroyou mean PS1 graphics
I liked tha fact he was looking less human each game up to IV but then he just reverted to a scary hand dude again
There's a reason for that.
3 - 4 nightmare was inferno because sieg kills OG nightmare after 2
5 nightmare is raphael
6 is a reboot of 1 so it's sieg
honestly the blade with the regular-looking eye is FAR more creepier than the rest
I'm more surprised that Raphael became Nightmare. I don't know why, even with the Character custom, I always thought it was Siegfried.
So... the Raphael we can use is Graf Dumas too, or is it another Siegfried/Nightmare moment?
Soul Calibur 2 nightmare had the best design in my opinion XD
So Iconic, it became the series logo for a bit lol
SC2 may still be the best fighting game ever made.
@@omegaacestudiosIt's still Project Soul's logo to this day.
Also the only time they clearly showed how Siegfried looks without the top half of his azure armor while he was Nightmare.
The goat
"Transcending history and the world a tale of souls and swords eternally retold !"
"The legend will never die !"
"Welcome back to the stage of history !"
"Instant goosebumps" 👏
@@user-xs5bl9dy6d Yes. 😄
Soul Calibur (1999) Dreamcast
SC 2 (2003) PS2
SC 3 (2005)
SC 4 (2008) Xbox 360, PS3
SC 5 (2012)
SC 6 (2018) PS4, Xbox One
Always loved Nightmare. Bro deserve peace and to get rid of that curse in the next SC
Ok but Nightmare isn't the person whose cursed,that's just the evil of Souledge corrupting him. His actual name is Siegfried"
And Siegfried was able to stop being nightmare
SC2 Nightmare is the best something about the hair I dig it a lot.
"I will show you.........the greatest NIGHTMARE!!!!"
If that isnt the sickest catchphrase for a character idk what is
The evolution of Nightmare only needing one hand to wield Soul Edge. What a badass.
That's because up to SC2, Siegfried and Nightmare shared movesets (Siegfried was even an unlockable costume along with Requiem in SC2 rather than his own character slot). Since Nightmare is no longer Siegfried in SC3, they had to rework Nightmare's and Siegfried's movesets to tell them apart better, Nightmare getting the most changes while Sieg received very minor adjustments.

A fellow Li Long lover!
@@electron6825 Absolutely!!
I miss when the eye would move around during gameplay
Nightmare's theme song is such a banger.
Every time I listen to it. I feel a surge of adrenaline!
My 1st two PlayStation games were Tekken 2 and Sould Blade. Was living the dream.
SCIV Nighmare reminds me of Jinpachi in Tekken 5, with that big mouth on his body
I think even his fighting stance is the same as Jinpachi
Dreamcast was really the introduction to the PS2 & the first Xbox (especially with SC1)
Soul Calibur 2 was my go to game back then.
My personal favorite design is soulcalibur 4 nightmare looks the most monster like to me in 4 and im here for it.
Music is so nostalgic
And you picked the best theme for Nightmare too ❤ His SC2 theme will always be the best next to SC3, 5 & 6
I kinda love his SCIV design. The body splitting into maws at the center looks as wrong as it should
Same I think this is my favorite of all the designs tbh
Man playing soul edge on my emulator for the first time as a kid after playing sc3 and seeing Siegfried become nightmare. Awesome
I feel like as fans we all feel similar to Siegfried, helpless watching from the sidelines as the series goes off the rails
Soulblade ! One of the Most iconic Introsoundtracks of Gamehistory!
Looks like the g virus got hold of a sword
Never really thought of it that way, but you're right.
I never knew soul blade even existed definitely gonna have to check it out
The mechanics haven't aged the best, but it is still a great fighting game.
Geez he keeps getting bigger and stronger and buffer
God I forgot how much I love Nightmare's design in SCIV that design was just (chef's kiss)
2's design just seemed to have more of a quality sheen / shading texture and shape to the armour. I always wished theyd continued 2's aesthetics for the future entries. It appeared slightly more grounded than the later entries
SCIV Nightmare has the best look imo
Nightmare from SCIV has the best design, can't change my mind
SC4 Knightmare designer deserves a medal.
SC2 is by far the best Nightmare
SC2 Nightmare was indeed something special
My soul still burns
Might wanna get that checked out by your doc 😂
Bro straight up said "1 Handed Skill: 100"
Nightmare Mains stand up
When Siegfried is available he's my go-to, but when he's not, it's Nightmare.
We need a new soul calibur game
It depends if it has the budget
@@Amotivatedindividual it's bandai though
@@Kat1kafka Yes but budget usually goes into stuff like games and movies so there’s that but I don’t really know how well 6 did for them to make another SC
Let's hope SC6 released after Tekken 7
@@Psycho-Thinker you mean SC7 after Tekken 8?
The Nostalgia hitting different watching this
Sc2 nightmares design is perfect.
I get chills when I hear Soul Calibur 2 music God it's so good
Not only a Nightmare on name, but also to fight.
Ngl, I'm more of a fan of his SCII, IV and V one. But still all very good
The fact I remember Soul Calibur 2 and 4 just makes me feel ancient lmao
I do love how they gave him a wider stamce with his corrupted arm out. Lot more intimidating.
Nightmare in Soulcalibur2 with blond hair look totally🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Missing soulcalibur broken destiny
SC4 remix with no Star Wars characters + Dampier from SC5 (dlc) & guest, Kratos from God of War 👍
I honestly saw the biggest change between 2008 and 2012
I hope we see him in the next SC game, if there’s going to be one
And thus the most metal fighting game character was born.
As a kid this ending creeped me the fuck out because how he looked when he transformed and yung sungs with his majin buu eyes lol
Notice how the longer time goes on, Nightmare goes from two handing to one handing, and the hands go further and further apart
One of the greatest characters in the history of fighting games
Polygons hit that boy hard
His soul calibur V and II designs are the best imo
His transformation into Nightmare makes him looks like his body is turning inside out xD
So cool! As a fan of Final Fantasy I get huge Garland vibes and I love it!
Soul Blade
May 1997 in France.
Soul Calibur (40/40) By Famitsu.
Jesus man, that Soul Edge consuming him was really sad.
A mighty cheer to the mighty nightmare! The terror known throughout Germany and the world who would know his evils and terrible Wrath! I am so proud to have him as one of my best fighters in the game and winning competitions with him!
Soul calibur 1 and 4 had a great quality
That was some great screaming 🏆
Here's to seeing what he looks like in soul calibur 7 (if it ever gets announced).
Try to watch this video's opening couple seconds with no thoughts in mind and without looking at the screen.
That was me. Them sounds had me shook for a second.
Sc 6 nightmare is peak character design I’ve never been so in love with a suit of armor before
Ngl that transition into raise thy sword was smooth af
SoulCalibur 4 his best outfit
sieg changing from the biggest weakling ever into the GREATEST NIGHTMARE!!!
He wasn't a weakling he was so strong for 16 year old to carry that giant sword and defeat Soul Edge
@Psycho-Thinker being able to hold a sword that isn't actually that heavy btw does not disprove anything I'm saying about him being a weakling. The guy went looking for the man that killed his dad.... when it was him lol. My statement stands
SCII still has the best soundtrack. To me it's the peak of the series.
I never had such an easy victory.
Kyo Kusanagi 94 to 15 please
Ok but the intro was fucking cool
Literally is my Inspiration XD
(I Love You Nightmare and besto design)
SC4 by far the sickest
SC2 Nightmare FTW
Project soul mascot
Nightmare was the first time I really ENJOYED playing a heavy character in a fighting game. Soulcalibur 2 on TOP
An over all cool design. I wasn't a fan of the green fleshed designs. Looks better with the reddish brown skin against the blue armor.
A fucking mssterpiece of a series. They need to come out with another
Soul blade❤❤❤
My favorite character
i didn't knew there was a game that looked better than tekken in early days ( i think )
Yes, Soul Blade is one of the absolute best looking PS1 games, but it came at a compromise since the game is locked to 30fps
@@ZimpanX of course back then, nobody really cared about framerate. The game looked awesome and it was fun. That was all that mattered.
@@joshdillon9637 Yeah I didn't, it's actually my favorite game in the whole franchise but I also remember that many didn't agree with me back in those days, stating it felt choppy to play compared to other fighters.
He definitely one of my favorites
I can remember being blown away by Soul Blade graphics just because their mouths moved.
It's kinda funny because after Soul Calibur 2, Nightmare isn't even the person after that.
Soul Calibur 2 will always be the best Nightmare design imo
Soul Calibur 1 Nightmare will always be my favorite
SC2 design and SC6 pose to me. For this kind of design and theme i think that it works aesthetically better to leave him holding the sword with one arm, to highlight the armor, the monster arm and the pose (whatever is chosen, not exactly that one).

❤ thank you. Ive missed the soul calibur soundtrack
Nice. Make one for Ivy, and Setsuka, please.
You should finish all the other characters in the brand.😍😍
Nobody's talking about how the arm somehow swapped sides -.-
Nightmare is my favourite fighting game character. Wish he would just get his own body and stay that way after he splits from Siegfried cause no one else deserves the honour of wielding that sword.
4 had the best nightmare.
Ooh yay my favorite game series Soul Calibur Cant wait for SCVII
Pray for a Soul Calibur 7
Man, Nightmare's in IV and VI looks 🔥🔥🔥.
en cada entrega luce menos humano y mas consumido por la maldición. Aunque sin duda, la mejor version era en el que podia apreciarsele mitad humano y mitad demonio.
SC4 knight mare was my favorite
Siegfried screaming in despair always gives me goosebumps
Drown in the cesspool of DARKNESS!
