8:21 “Who are you calling a murderer? Me, who literally killed a guy because he was “pale and filthy” and then sneeringly said “shame you can’t prove it”?”
I always love the part where his sister holding soul edge such a pretty soul and they're all yours come any closer and die such a pretty sore and they're all filthy
To think this was only 25% of what was planned before Namco decided to rush the game due to the tsunami financial consequences. Truly one of the biggest waste in the history of fighting games.
@@zerumsiru5204 that would nice, but since Soul 6 is pretty much a reboot of the series, I'm assuming they just want to start all over completely so it's possible we'll get to complete story around Soul Calibur 8 or 9
Thank you cassandra for warning yourself about this dark future and preventing it lol she erased this from happening and it’s referred to as the worst future.
It's the worst future because everything is literally on the brink of collapsing and humanity is fighting against each other plus cassandra's family are dead with only patrokolos and pyrrha being the only ones alive (depends on if you kill pyrrha)
@@usurper4167 I know but it’s considered the worst game as well. They basically are saying it sucks. Which it did. But because they wanted to do so much and didn’t. Time constraints or whatever happened
Nope. It's a Future Trunks thing. She created a new timeline. Otherwise Cassandra's future self would've ceased to exist. The Future Cassandra/Masked Swordswoman is also a boss fight in Libra of Souls in place of 'the Ancient' using Cassandra's fighting style.
Whether you liked the story or not is up to you, but you’re lying if you think they didn’t do a great job showing how Soul Calibur was just as ruthless, restless, and manipulative as Soul Edge. The spirit of Soul Calibur would do almost anything to destroy it’s (I say “it” because it doesn’t have a gender, the appearance of the spirit can change depending on the wielder) more evil counterpart, Soul Edge, even if it means manipulating it’s wielder
Soul Calibur didn't need to manipulate Siegfried as he wished to destroy Soul Edge. But it's also why Siegfried no longer wielded Soul Calibur in SCV. Because he doubted the true motives of it and if he was able to fight back against Soul Edge, he could do the same with Soul Calibur.
Honestly, Soul Calibur also being evil just came out of left field. The most build up I think it has was its time in SCII where it was corrupted by Soul Edge. But I don't think we even get that. We go from SCIII where it still seemed pure, to SCIV which starts saying out of nowhere that "It's getting too powerful" (and also Siegs ending where the world just becomes Shiver Star from Kirby 64), to SCV where it's established as being as bad as Soul Edge.
I wouldn’t call Soul Calibur ‘evil’, instead I would say it ucompromising and rigid. It wants to destroy the evil sword at any cost, even it it means pitting those close to each other against each other, and won’t consider any other option or opinion.
@@TheGamerkid134 perhaps I worded it wrong, I meant to say that Soul Edge was “purely evil”, not Soul Calibur. Because I’d say Soul Calibur is like neutral
I think the story would have been REALLY good if it wasn't so rushed. For example, the part where you turn on Dumas for the first time could have been like 10 episodes in and the part where he finds Pyrrha could be on episode 20. Not only can a lot happen but it would allow all characters to show up. (heck it could even include Ezio)
what the fudge? patroklos is protecting his older sister? the older sister must protect patroklos because patroklos is younger than phyrra and hes a baby
...On the other hand, I do love how this is all about free will and learning how to fight the fate others wish to oppress oneself with. I like how the story takes a 360 degree turn and Patroklos and Pyrrha grow through the ordeal.
22:56 Pyrrha: "Are you in pain ?" *Proceed to kick the enemy in the groin* 22:58 Pyrrha: "It must hurt" *Proceed to stab them with the Omega Sword mutiple time* :>
Despite all of soul Calibur’s many many faults i really like how they potrayed tira she felt really intimidating and clever in this i just wish we could have seen way more of her
LOL! I laugh out loud so damn hard when Patroklos shouted "YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" at 55:06 which reminds me of Yukimura Sanada's behavior and attitude from Sengoku Basara series.
No, not at all. SC4 had every character be given their own ending. A returning character was lucky if they were mentioned in SC5, let alone actually appeared.
And Sasuke from Naruto is also taking orders from Ezio Auditore da Firenze AND Chris Redfield from Resident Evil at the same time. Patroklos and Siegfried, everybody.
in the next game, they should include Cassandra as both Patroklos and Pyrrhas guide/mother figure. i mean she's still alive, she's just inside astral chaos. And imo she was one of the coolest characters in SCIV, i mean she fucking destroyed both swords like a badass, if she could do that she can get out of astral no problem.
@@Alexander-ms9ht No he's correct. Sophitia died in SoulCalibur IV and that's why he said Cassandra should take the mother role since she's still alive storywise.
Unfortunately Cassandra destroying both swords isn't canon. Her getting sucked in and trapped inside Astral Chaos however is. But the rebooted Cassandra with the knowledge from her future self should fight harder to prevent the grim future that befalls her family from coming to pass.
It's a sad day when classic Soul Calibur characters like Siegfried and Ivy are playing the role of bystanding cameos to unlikable turds like Patrokolos. I'd rather see a story involving all of them, not the offsprings of a character that wasn't all that important in the first place.
Yuna Darkrayne I always though Hilde would've made an excellent addition to Siegfred's group, Schwarzwind. I mean, ZWEI and Viola are cool enough, but they're still just kids. You'd think a military leader like the Wolfkrone Queen would be his first choice...but, no. Siegfried picks Patrokolos...after ONE spar with him. By the way, I've started calling him Patricia. I think you've started a trend.
OptiumusMagnum Hmm, maybe she will join sometime! XD Hilde's my favorite character, that's for sure. She'd better if they make a 6th game~ Yeah, really though, Hilde>Patricia. And yeah, Patricia is the perfect name for him.
OptiumusMagnum I don't even think THAT'LL happen. That's what I thought was becoming a trend at first, but when classic characters like Seung Mina, Talim, and Yun Seong didn't even make an appearence, let alone have a replacement, I started to lose hope. I really hope they don't get rid of Mitsurugi,though. He's been my main since Soul Blade back on the PS1.
I remember the first time I played and saw the ending cutscene. When Pyrrah said, "Our lives truly begin now". I was like that's kinda weird. When they walked off into the sunset holding hands. I was like yup that's incest.
ur a gross fool, they cant make story about family ?, not everything needs to be a guy fighting for his future girl friend he can fight to repair his lost family
Interesting reading these comments and looking back on this 7 years later, as this game caused the reboot, which has gone back to the games roots, but also made the story make much more sense. I finally played SC5 a few months back, and although I like some of the playstyles (Alpha Patroklos and Ezio most notably), the story killed this game. To be fair, I know it was only 1/3 of what was planned, but damn; you know it's bad when series mainstays like Mitsurugi and Cervantes are in the game, but not even mentioned in the story. To say nothing of Algol just being in the game because.... I actually don't know why he was in the game, since you can't even use his style in Create-A-Soul.
To be frank, they utterly rushed the game...because Namco were also making Tekken Tag Tournament 2, which caused Soul Project to cut contents out of SCV's initial developments and storyboard.
Guys, I don't know if you know this or not, but the story mode wasn't awful on accident. The early release date made them dumb it down. Heck, they even had some lines from other characters recorded for the completed story. I was personally quite interested in Patroklos' and Pyrrha's story, and I'm glad they showed off sadistic Tira < 3, but I also hoped to see all of their personal stories. The newbies interest me a lot more, because you have Viola who doesn't remember who she is, and there are TONS of evidence to suggest she is Amy, who is my favourite SC character of all time, Leixia and Natsu because I want to find out what happened to Taki and Leixia is Xiba's sister, though she doesn't know it yet. I find Xiba interesting because he's Kilik and Xianghua's son, and I mean, who wouldn't be interested in that?
They really missed an opportunity to make some of the other legacy characters playable. Even if some of the fighting styles might've been a bit of copy + paste. What really disappointed me was the Legendary Souls exclusive costumes of Nightmare, Siegfried and Cervantes not being obtainable without hacking or modding.
Tadashi Hatsuke That's true but they could've done to Patroklos what they did to Amy: Give an original style with a few of the moves.It worked so well........
Patty gives his best 'Superman is a dick' homage at 6:41. Like, seriously. I can picture Pat holding a pitcher of water over the heads of Pyrrha and Cassandra, as they lie dying from thirst. :p
Okay. The best things in the story in my book were Tira and Pyrrha. They were awesome. Still, characters like Raphael and Cervantes were not featured in the story at all, nor were they mentioned. Great characters like Ivy and Seigfried are only cameos with limited focus in the story. New characters like Leixia, Xiba, and Viola had even less focus for some reason. Z.W.E.I had more of a role in the story, but then nobody knows what happened to him. Those disappointed me, but the most disappointing thing in the story, in my opinion, was Patroklos. Patroklos is the worst protagonist I have dealt with in a video game in a long time. I seriously despise him. It's okay to like him, but I seriously can't stand him. What he did unmercifully to the people in the beginning, how he behaved towards people in general except Pyrrha, has a very awful sense of justice even though he thought through the majority of the story that he knew what he was doing, how he treated Pyrrha DESPITE his vow and word in finding and protecting her (I know he sort of learned about this in the end but I still hated that so much. Poor Pyrrha needed him at the time, yet he.... UGH!), and how randomly one of my past favorite characters got her fighting style copied on him (Setsuka), since it feels so out of place to me. I looked it up on the reason why, but it was never explained in the game so I never understood that. I have many more reasons on why I hate him, but those are the main reasons why I hate him. After the story, he didn't seem to learn much but mainly accepting the only family member he has in his life now, which was so damn obvious. I had neutral feelings for him until the story ended, so that I can make my full judgement on him fairly. Now that it did, I hate him. My god, poor Sophitia made.... that. Pyrrha was tolerable. I liked her at least. Why not her? Why her asshole of a brother, who is also naive as f***? Put Siegfried, Sophitia, Cassandra, Pyrrha, Z.W.E.I, anyone else as the main protagonist next time. It's one thing to be an ass, but Patroklos seems to be an ass for all the wrong reasons I can imagine. Can't stand him.
***** ZWEI would have been an interesting and cool choice to be a protagonist. Tira became the main antagonist for a change (yeah she was such an a**. Loved her), so why not ZWEI? He actually acted more as the protagonist compared to the two siblings, where Pyrrha is mostly the victim and in a way the "damsel in distress" while Patroklos had many issues.
Yeah, that's understandable. My reason that I liked her is that since she, along with Tira and Patroklos, had the largest role in the story in my opinion, then along with Tira I liked Pyrrha too. That doesn't change the fact that I loved Tira a whole lot more, even though I never use her since she's really difficult to use. Pyrrha, she was.... meh. She was okay. She was adorable to me at least. lol She has so much potential left out in the story since she was playing herself as the victim so much. She didn't really handle herself as much as I thought she would, which is a shame.
I used Tira since SC3 too and I have always been horrible. lol I agree that I hope that Pyrrha will be toughened up like Talim, who is btw cool. I don't use her but she reminds me of one of my most favorite Samurai Shodown characters, Nakoruru.Either he or her own mother, who hates fighting too but know that she had too for many reasons.
I feel your pain, man. I didn't buy this sad excuse of a SC game for a good reason and just seeing Patroklos makes me wanna strangle that SOB. And tbh, I only respect Pyrrha, not only for being too scared in a fight, but for not being a dipshit like him.
I beat the story in less than a few hours, which is absolutely ridiculous when that and the character creator were pretty much all the hype for the game when it was being developed. I don't care if it's a fighting game.. They could have added some RPG elements and free-roaming to keep the players busy, and actually give players the opportunity to interact with the characters of the game rather than looking at those pathetic storybook cut-scenes that the game offered. Look at the Final Fantasy franchise.. many of their games are packed with extra mini-games and other game-play that did not involve the main fighting. I'm not a fan of playing fighting games online, and in my eyes that's the only thing that can keep people interested in the game if they beat it and unlocked most of the custom creation stuff. Developers have a lot to work with when it comes to the Xbox One, PS4, and PC. If they can't be bothered to make a game with a more in-depth story mode and other features such as the individual mini stories that went with every character in the roster, then I'm simply not going to waste my time and money.
Oh.. it was a beautiful story. I was worried after reading the comments, but at least, the story was so well done and beautiful. It is true, our classic characters, "the veterans", doesn't appear so much. But I feel it was in the correct way, they appeared to guide young characters to do the right thing (or the bad just like Tira), it was a truly representation of real life. Ivy had lost her faith, but Patroklos gives her new hope. Also, the role of Siegfried was very important to make Patroklos stronger. Leixia and the others had a short appearance, but it was important too. This time, the story wanted to show something completely new: As we always know, Soul Edge was the bad option and Soul Calibur was the good one. But in this game, they said something with so much more value! Good or evil become the same thing when you are biased, but when you act with love, you can show mercy and you are able to forgive your own mistakes and those of others! I think this moral is priceless! I enjoy it so much!! Thank you so much for upload it!!!! Also, you made incredible fights! you are the holy warrior endeed! hahaha ;D **Other facts. - My dear Voldo had a short appearance TwT but I was so happy to see him. I wonder why his not inside of money pit fulfilling Vercci's desires~ - Pyrrha "I don't wanna die" stab stab stab!!! XDDDDDDDDD - The ending music was very very very epic.
I used to think Soul Calibur V was a great game when I was younger. But now that I'm all grown up and I've discovered just how flawed it actually was, I'm pretty disappointed in some of the people responsible for rushing this game and it's story.
What deep literary themes? Its shallow as hell. Sure, the brother-sister bond is sweet and the ending is really heartwarming, but the story as a whole is pretty terrible. I still like the game, though.
...Erm, yes. There's an /attempt/ to be deep and interesting. However, the story falls flat on its ass in doing so. The issue with the story is not that the theme is present. The issue is with out its presented. So little time is spent in developing the characters that they basically just become tools for exposition. Characters we should like are demoted to bystanders to the protagonists, who, mind you, are no less tools. If you want to make a character an asshole (Looking at you, Patty Cakes.) and then make them redeem themselves, give them redeemable qualities and a conflicting viewpoint. Something, ANYTHING to make the transformation believable. As it stands, the story is a damn mess and would need heavy reworks to make it enjoyable. It's barely bearable at this point.
The first Soul Calibur game I ever played (first I saw was IV) and I had no idea what was going on. The so fast-paced. Now I get to relieve the glory days... and I still don't know what's happening.
I love Soul Calibur V and everything, but it sucks without the best characters ever, in my opinion. Cassandra, Talim, Sueng-Mi, Xianghua, Taki, Link, Sophitia. I'm pretty sure everyone misses them. Many love the original characters more than the failure offsprings. Just saying when they make Soul Calibur 6, I want Link to be in it. Haha. Link was good on Soul Calibur 2.
CoolGaminginc On the Nintendo switch :) But still, im waiting for SC6. Hopefully, it will be better than this. (Sees that it is worser) Damnit (Sees that is better) YEEEEEEEEEEEEESS
Console exclusive characters are banned from competition anyways. And Link's moveset was total BS imo. I do miss all these other characters you mentioned and hope they return in VI. Taki
I want Soul Calibur 5 to become backwards compatible for Xbox One because I have Soul Calibur 6 and I want one of the greatest games in this franchise.
The storyline ended up being a big waste of potential, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seemed like 3 and 4 was hyping Sophia's kids to be like the strongest wielders of the swords but instead Pyyra just felt like another minion and Patrokalos seemed like a generic hero character. plus a lot of the other characters seemed under utilized ,
that's exactly how I felt, they didn't know what they wanted to do with the story, at this point, I think it would be better to start from the beginning again, and just work the story back into it
Frankly I think Pyrra should have been the one person that could control the sword maybe have it be a yin and yang thing where the two siblings are destined to guard the swords till the end of time. Heck if you did that you could easily fast-forward the game to present day and do a Soul Calibur v, Tekken. I don't know though maybe having the wielder of soul edge be a good guy might rub people off.
This game has its flaws, but still is good: its just rushed and incomplete: time and budget contraints, from what I read. if only arcade mode had endings for all characters, if that stupid Odashima hadn't killed Sophitia and if Talim was brought back along Taki and Zasalamel (one badass dude!)
Lucas Jessen Daishi Odashima was the director of this game and he is the one who came up with the utterly stupid Ideas of not including Sophitia, Taki, Zasalamel, Talim, Cassandra and Seong Mina in the game.
Lucas Jessen Yup, Amy too. As for Sophitia's kids, they are only a great dissapointment. The Boy is utterly arrogant and blinded by revenge (not justice as he claims), the girl is a gutless wimp whi always cries and feels sorry for everything... they both are the exact opposite of their mother who was selfless, courageous, wise, and driven by the real meaning of good and justice.
Rayne Kraven Pyrrha wasn't that bad in my opinion.Actually,she had every right to be a scaredy cat seeing as she was sold to slavery at a young age,probably harassed in ways too horrible for me to think and as if it wasn't bad enough,manipulated by that schizophrenic whore Tira into killing millions of innocent lives to increase her malfestation(that was actually kind of Sophitia's fault to begin with) and,worst of all,rejected by her brother after her malfestation took place.Her personality is reasonable taking in consideration the things that she went through.Patroklos is the only disappointment and should die in a fire and never be talked about again.......
Why do I get the feeling that the creator saw Soul Edge (as Devil) and Soul Caliber (as God). So the humans both destroyed both God and the Devil. That's what I got out of the whole story. Hmm interesting I guess though that's not how it works in the real life.
That has to be the best ending in a video game like this. It's happy, but sad at the same time because Patroklos has one true wish on his mind, to save his younger sister Pyrrha and stop evil once and for all. Elysium is the real antagonist in this story. She was the one who made Pyrrha get malfested and made Patroklos and Pyrrha fight each other. She never cared about them. Only for herself, Elysium. And both Soul Calibur and Soul Edge were both destroyed and Patroklos and Pyrrha, no longer malfested, go home together and save the world.
It took me a long time to realise thst graf dumas in this game is actually Raphael possesed by soul edge. Its a shame this story mode was so lacklustrer
I hope they replay that part and explain more in Soul Calibur 7 or 8. They focused only on the Alexandras in 5 and left Raphael, Amy, Zwei and many other interesting characters' stories aside without explanation. Raphael and Amy/Viola are really important, they really should have explained about them. I know a lot was lost with the big tsunami and they now had only like 25% remaining or something and they had to get the game out with their contract but I hope they have the chance to focus on Raphael, Viola and to a lesser degree on others' stories in the reboot.
if i could of give how much like and subscribes i wanted to you would be the most popular person on youtube. love the gameplay and the story.the story made me cry."soulcalibur forever"
What the fuck happened to Soul Calibur? I mean I still remember booting up my PS2 to play Soul Calibur 2 and 3 (along with the special intro easter-egg of Space Invaders), and now it's....THIS?? Seriously the story was basically not there. And unlike games like the original Borderlands, a game that also barely had a story, the gameplay and other features outside of character creator aren't entertaining enough. And the story being focused on Sophitia's kids is, while a nice idea, was executed HORRIBLY. It isn't too late, thankfully. The game still has good music and audio design with, I guess average fighting mechanics. But for the next game to be a hit it NEEDS TO HAVE: * A focus on story for all the characters, not just two specific ones that has a creepy incest subtext. That and one that explains WHO and WHAT happened to characters, be them new or old. Who the fuck is Xiba and why do I care? Why is Maxi still a Japanese-Elvis look alike despite the time gap? What about Kilik and Xianghua, and their supposed affair thing? EXPLAIN THIS SHIT. * Cutscenes that are more than just still-shots. The few in-game cutscenes are fantastic to look at. And I know Namco/Project Soul can easily do cutscenes well. Just look at past games. * Fighting styles for the create-a-character shouldn't just be limited to characters already in the game. Personally I don't mind it but, I know a lot of people liked what SC3 did. * A bonus mode like Edge Master Mode like in SC2. That was freakin radical, and was way better than the tower BS and all from 4 and 5. Heck even Tales of the Sword from 3 would be a good thing. * Be more accessible and such for newer players. They tried this with Broken Destiny and kinda with 5 but, those were freakin pathetic. *And finally, lip syncing that doesn't seem like a marionette show, nor character models that have an odd plastic look to em. Might be more a game engine thing, but still a complaint. If the next game is doesn't atleast, ATLEAST have the storymode or alt-mode thing in the sequel, I'm gonna be super dissapointed. And I think many others will be too.
Copadon you're not alone with this. I mean the new Soul Calibur games look GREAT. But that's all. I absolutely loved SC2, the third one was meh because they started changing shit, which went worse with SC4.
OnlyReitasGirl Oh if it's one thing I can agree on, is that the games are AMAZING on a graphical level. I can be ticked off by a lot of things but, really that's something I can't fault. I can fault however, almost everything else. SC2 was probably the first fighting game I played that wasn't Tekken (Street Fighter and the like never interested me. At all.), and I thought it was amazing if a bit slow-ish. Then SC3 wasn't bad because, it was still Soul Calibur to me i.e. Story mode that was surprisingly good, a few new characters that weren't just clones, and a few other things. SCIV on the other hand, started to move away from that and, into what I think is actually Casual Gaming territory. That scares me, in all honesty. So thanks for agreeing with me. Incidentally, I'm a bit surprised you have Jodie from Beyond Two Souls as your avatar. That game is....Well it isn't like a game really, and not in the best way haha.
Copadon Sorry I know this was six days ago but what more can they expand on this story? After the originals it pretty much became NEW NIGHTMARE/ NEW HERO everytime. I think they focused more on balancing characters and MP. I love the character creation though
I can think at least five things wrong with the story of Soul Calibur 5. 1) Patroklos is by far the worst protagonist. He's beyond naive, stubborn, doesn't think about the consequences of his own actions, he doesn't listen to anyone and he acts like a spoiled selfish child who can't have his way. I could go on about how awful Patroklos is as a character. But to sum up, he really needs to be punched in the face. 2) The story doesn't to seem to make up its mind on who the main villain. Is it Graf Dumas/Nightmare? Is it Tira? Is it the Spirit of Soul Calibur itself? Its not really clear. 3) Most of the characters roster in the game have barely anything to do with the story. Some of them don't appear in the story at all. Not even the newer characters get enough screen time. 4) 85% of the story is told through a illustrated storyboard with very few fully computer animated scenes. Soul Calibur 6's story suffers from the same problem. Are the developers just that lazy? 5) There's no option of playing our original characters in story mode.
Despite the story being rushed, it's as good as it could've been for what they were able to scrap together, Paktroklos was meant to be an unlikeable douche at the start that warms up to the player over time as the story was meant to be the final arc of the series from what I gather Alot of people bicker that they don't like the new characters replacing the old ones when that 10+ year gap is supposed to be the reason for it as the older characters have to move on at some point, whether or not you like their replacements is up to you
At 1:05:00 I feel like if the story was not rushed kilik would've been in the story to tell patroklos where to find xiba and leixia...that honestly would've been better than patroklos finding them randomly....
@@Schtauffen04 I know. She had to seal a demon inside of her while Natsu was an orphan baby and Taki felt guilty about it so she took her and protected her, raise her with her friend Chie in their ninja village, yet she is also ready to strike down Natsu should the demon overtake her. But still, no matter the ties, they are two separate persons, with different personalities and looks. You might like one and not the other. It's not only gameplay, otherwise you may as well play with matcmen with no story and who care? If only the gameplay is what matters...
I wanted to see pyrahh in sc6 I hope she return her and brother return… I wanted to see her go against tira but both of there powers are amazing when they both touch the dark side…
Patrokolos's style is one of my favorites and I dont think he or the story is that bad.And this game is really good so forget who ever said its horrible.although the drawing parts could've been better. And some more parts.
Siegfried: "You are worthy to wield Soul Calibur." Patroklos: "Never heard of it." Two minutes later they talk about Nightmare. Patroklos: "You mean the Azure Knight, who wielded Soul Edge?" Seems kinda inconsistent. Both swords are tied together, why would he know about only one of them?
+HS_Merciless Correct me if Im wrong but for example Seong Mi-na and Yun seong were following soul edge and Mi-na nver knew about Soul Calibur until SC4
I'd say I was too young to really comprehend the storyline when this game came out, but I came back when I learned this game had such a bad rep. Even I was disappointed by the rehashed versions of old characters, and I gotta agree that Natsu, Leixia, and Xiba don't hold up to their predecessors. They feel like straight up stock characters, but the siblings... aren't as bad as I thought. I was always a little annoyed with Phyrra, especially since I preferred Cassandra and was never huge on Sophitia to begin with, but her development makes sense. Patrokolos was definitely a dick in the beginning, but here's what I've gathered: both the siblings were terribly naive, and that's something they take after their mother, but they overcome it, and yeah, it was rushed but I see what this could've been and what it is and this absolutely could've been the end. Some real strong points exists too. First of all, this did a great job of encompassing the true nature of both the swords. Both of them being destroyed is a fitting end, and while I'm talking about the ending, I really don't think it implies incest as much as people think. It's a really tough thing writing two siblings of the opposite gender so close and age that care about each other without people assuming something weird of it. That's not a problem with the game's portrayal, that's a larger societal problem that I'd be spending way too much time breaking down, but understand, they are essentially two kids trying to make up for lost time and that's ALL there is too it. Also, ZWEI is an awesome character. It's truly sad we'll probably never see him again unless the whole roster makes a comeback and I kinda doubt it. Voila is interesting too, and I wish we had more time with that crew. It's significantly better than the crew that's under Maxi's guidance. On the note of ZWEI though, has anyone taken a moment to look at the voice cast?? You've got Yuri Lowenthal as Patrokolos, who is the voice of Sasuke Uchiha, Laura Bailey as Phyrra who is most known for Tohru Honda and Maka Albarn, and ZWEI who is voiced by Matt Mercer... Levi Ackerman. It's extremely good casting, honestly better than we've ever seen from Soul Calibur, and you gotta give it to em', it was a good performance. I just... mostly what this makes me think is a hope Soul Calibur has a much longer life ahead of it. I love this series so much, and even this game has sentimental value. I wish these characters and this story got its true justice, but seriously, I look at it and I see all the promise it truly held.
@@johnmarkfrederick8245 The orphained Natsu was found by Taki in a village and Taki had to seal a demon inside her. Natsu is her protegee, her student, Taki protected her and raised her with her friend Chie, so in a way, Natsu is like a daughter but she is not officially.
Soulcalibur III: Is very good because there are new characters, and very bad because there are new characters. And yeah only 3 months and we will get scVI but.... :P
So Patroklos blindly followed Dumas, without hesitation or forethought. He murdered without hesitation. If his mother was as astute a person and trained him well, why is it he's so dense? You'd think basic human discernment would have led him to suspect Dumas was toying him, but he continues to bother me as a character. He seems so blissfully unaware. What bothered me even more is how he turned his sister away as she became malfested, though she defended him. He's definitely not my favorite.
22:30 Pyrrha "I don't wanna die" stab, stab stab stab stab hahahahaha She's the best. Really good story. Thanks for the video.

Jerry Brask Look at his channel name, it is "copypasta king", in other words, he is the king of copy and paste. He loves to copy and then paste.
she's at least cute :')
I always love the part where his sister holding soul edge such a pretty soul and they're all yours come any closer and die such a pretty sore and they're all filthy
To think this was only 25% of what was planned before Namco decided to rush the game due to the tsunami financial consequences. Truly one of the biggest waste in the history of fighting games.
So much potential; Maybe they could release a "Director's cut" version of the game some day.
@@zerumsiru5204 that would nice, but since Soul 6 is pretty much a reboot of the series, I'm assuming they just want to start all over completely so it's possible we'll get to complete story around Soul Calibur 8 or 9
Thank you cassandra for warning yourself about this dark future and preventing it lol she erased this from happening and it’s referred to as the worst future.
It's the worst future because everything is literally on the brink of collapsing and humanity is fighting against each other plus cassandra's family are dead with only patrokolos and pyrrha being the only ones alive (depends on if you kill pyrrha)
@@usurper4167 I know but it’s considered the worst game as well. They basically are saying it sucks. Which it did. But because they wanted to do so much and didn’t. Time constraints or whatever happened
@@mrthanos8140 well yea the game had really broken characters but it was still fun, sc6 basically keeps the lore but the event of sc5 never happened
Nope. It's a Future Trunks thing. She created a new timeline. Otherwise Cassandra's future self would've ceased to exist. The Future Cassandra/Masked Swordswoman is also a boss fight in Libra of Souls in place of 'the Ancient' using Cassandra's fighting style.
Whether you liked the story or not is up to you, but you’re lying if you think they didn’t do a great job showing how Soul Calibur was just as ruthless, restless, and manipulative as Soul Edge. The spirit of Soul Calibur would do almost anything to destroy it’s (I say “it” because it doesn’t have a gender, the appearance of the spirit can change depending on the wielder) more evil counterpart, Soul Edge, even if it means manipulating it’s wielder
Soul Calibur didn't need to manipulate Siegfried as he wished to destroy Soul Edge. But it's also why Siegfried no longer wielded Soul Calibur in SCV. Because he doubted the true motives of it and if he was able to fight back against Soul Edge, he could do the same with Soul Calibur.
@@ShiningJudgment666 you said perfectly
Honestly, Soul Calibur also being evil just came out of left field.
The most build up I think it has was its time in SCII where it was corrupted by Soul Edge. But I don't think we even get that.
We go from SCIII where it still seemed pure, to SCIV which starts saying out of nowhere that "It's getting too powerful" (and also Siegs ending where the world just becomes Shiver Star from Kirby 64), to SCV where it's established as being as bad as Soul Edge.
I wouldn’t call Soul Calibur ‘evil’, instead I would say it ucompromising and rigid.
It wants to destroy the evil sword at any cost, even it it means pitting those close to each other against each other, and won’t consider any other option or opinion.
@@TheGamerkid134 perhaps I worded it wrong, I meant to say that Soul Edge was “purely evil”, not Soul Calibur. Because I’d say Soul Calibur is like neutral
I think the story would have been REALLY good if it wasn't so rushed. For example, the part where you turn on Dumas for the first time could have been like 10 episodes in and the part where he finds Pyrrha could be on episode 20. Not only can a lot happen but it would allow all characters to show up. (heck it could even include Ezio)
The game was made in one year, it's *really* rushed, I don't know why anyone thought making a game in a year was a good idea
what the fudge? patroklos is protecting his older sister? the older sister must protect patroklos because patroklos is younger than phyrra and hes a baby
If this is try I declare a DO OVER
...On the other hand, I do love how this is all about free will and learning how to fight the fate others wish to oppress oneself with. I like how the story takes a 360 degree turn and Patroklos and Pyrrha grow through the ordeal.
Is that so? How unfortunate there’s no way to prove it.
I find it funny that Pyrrha screams "I don't want to die!" as she backs a guy into a corner and stabs him multiple times in the head. :P
That part's hilarious 😂
22:56 Pyrrha: "Are you in pain ?"
*Proceed to kick the enemy in the groin*
22:58 Pyrrha: "It must hurt"
*Proceed to stab them with the Omega Sword mutiple time* :>
I adore her.
Patroklos telling SIEGFRIED of all people that Nightmare is a fairy tale?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA shut up Patroklos.
Paragade You have no idea how much I LAUGHED at this comment. It is pure gold.
North Or south
Patrklos Shut Your mouth
Sigfried: *Bitch slaps Patroklos* Bitch I WAS Nightmare
Patroklos: Nightmare is just a Fairy Tale
Siegfried: am i joke to you?
No
Despite all of soul Calibur’s many many faults i really like how they potrayed tira she felt really intimidating and clever in this i just wish we could have seen way more of her
I've been trying to figure out where I heard Patroklos' voice from... same voice actor for Sasuke Uchiha
Poor guy gets stuck voicing whiny little shits...
@@kyoko2752
Hey, he also got to voice Yosuke in Persona 4, so that's good.
Yuri Lowenthal
Eeeee same thing I thought
Kyoko Kosplay! Well he got to be spiderman, who’s a little less whiny
LOL! I laugh out loud so damn hard when Patroklos shouted "YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" at 55:06 which reminds me of Yukimura Sanada's behavior and attitude from Sengoku Basara series.
I knew that I'm not only one who laughed at that lmfao
I honestly think the story here is better than Soul Calibur 4's. In that game it was just Arcade mode but with an ending cutscene.
agreed 4 took a lot of good things out since to previous installment.
snow flake jeez just because someone has a different opinion than you doesn’t mean you should lash out.
Akira Kurusu hence the name ‘snow flake’
No, not at all. SC4 had every character be given their own ending. A returning character was lucky if they were mentioned in SC5, let alone actually appeared.
Xemnas is announcing the rounds everyone XD
And Sasuke from Naruto is also taking orders from Ezio Auditore da Firenze AND Chris Redfield from Resident Evil at the same time.
Patroklos and Siegfried, everybody.
Huh?
holy shittttt.... There is more ads than movie...
Ulrich Peper Tavera RIGHTTTT
Lol 😂 ikr

What a total scumbag the uploader is
Fast forward straight to the end then hit replay it will remove all the ads
Love how sympathic Tira is to Pyrrhra since she hated Sophitia. Look at her sympathy at: 20:48
Pyrrhra is like her adopted daughter... in a sick and twisted way.
patroklos is adorable besides the fact he's a whiny cry baby who's over confident
The soul calibur 5 "cutscenes" are about 90% parchment scetches and 10% ACTUAL cutscenes -_-
You know I really wish they used the cinematic cut-scenes instead of the shitty picture animation
Hey at least some of them are actual cutscenes right?.
@@Schtauffen04don't be lork
That moment you realise pyrrha is older than patroklos
Wait rly??
@@gaucho5298 Yeah, by about 1 or 2 years
Patroklos is 19, Pyrrha is 20. Just saying.
It really explains alot....
I guess we should checkout at Soul Calibur fandom, that will explain your confusion
“Crossing swords is the best way to know someone.” 😐🤨 15:45
in the next game, they should include Cassandra as both Patroklos and Pyrrhas guide/mother figure. i mean she's still alive, she's just inside astral chaos. And imo she was one of the coolest characters in SCIV, i mean she fucking destroyed both swords like a badass, if she could do that she can get out of astral no problem.
I guess you meant Sophitia, that's their mother. Cassandra is Sophitia's sister, also known as the aunt of Patroklos and Pyrrha.
@@Alexander-ms9ht No he's correct. Sophitia died in SoulCalibur IV and that's why he said Cassandra should take the mother role since she's still alive storywise.
Cassandra and sophitia are sisters of soul caliber 2 and Patroklos and Pyrrha are brother and sister of soul caliber 5
Unfortunately Cassandra destroying both swords isn't canon. Her getting sucked in and trapped inside Astral Chaos however is. But the rebooted Cassandra with the knowledge from her future self should fight harder to prevent the grim future that befalls her family from coming to pass.
Lmao I love how Elysium doesn't give a single fuck when Patrollocks bursts from the crystals and challenges her!
It's a sad day when classic Soul Calibur characters like Siegfried and Ivy are playing the role of bystanding cameos to unlikable turds like Patrokolos. I'd rather see a story involving all of them, not the offsprings of a character that wasn't all that important in the first place.
Agreed so much.
Also, Hilde needs to be recognized more...
I hate Patroklos so much.
I call him Patricia.
Yuna Darkrayne I always though Hilde would've made an excellent addition to Siegfred's group, Schwarzwind. I mean, ZWEI and Viola are cool enough, but they're still just kids. You'd think a military leader like the Wolfkrone Queen would be his first choice...but, no. Siegfried picks Patrokolos...after ONE spar with him.
By the way, I've started calling him Patricia. I think you've started a trend.
OptiumusMagnum
Hmm, maybe she will join sometime! XD Hilde's my favorite character, that's for sure.
She'd better if they make a 6th game~
Yeah, really though, Hilde>Patricia.
And yeah, Patricia is the perfect name for him.
Yuna Darkrayne They'll probably replace her with someone. That's becoming a recent trend. :(
OptiumusMagnum I don't even think THAT'LL happen. That's what I thought was becoming a trend at first, but when classic characters like Seung Mina, Talim, and Yun Seong didn't even make an appearence, let alone have a replacement, I started to lose hope. I really hope they don't get rid of Mitsurugi,though. He's been my main since Soul Blade back on the PS1.
I remember the first time I played and saw the ending cutscene. When Pyrrah said, "Our lives truly begin now". I was like that's kinda weird. When they walked off into the sunset holding hands. I was like yup that's incest.
Well....
Anime Heart's incest was common in these old days nowadays not so much.
ur a gross fool, they cant make story about family ?, not everything needs to be a guy fighting for his future girl friend he can fight to repair his lost family
@@emergencypension3239 There were definitely some implications... It wasn't uncommon among nobles in that time period to preserve their bloodline.
@@ShiningJudgment666which is funny cause patroklos and pyrrha aren't nobles, they're just the grandchildren of a baker

Patroclos: *rings out Pyrrah, falls out too*
Me: LOL!
daleketchup same happened to me a few times
Interesting reading these comments and looking back on this 7 years later, as this game caused the reboot, which has gone back to the games roots, but also made the story make much more sense. I finally played SC5 a few months back, and although I like some of the playstyles (Alpha Patroklos and Ezio most notably), the story killed this game. To be fair, I know it was only 1/3 of what was planned, but damn; you know it's bad when series mainstays like Mitsurugi and Cervantes are in the game, but not even mentioned in the story. To say nothing of Algol just being in the game because.... I actually don't know why he was in the game, since you can't even use his style in Create-A-Soul.
Yoshimitzu needed some time aswel imo
To be frank, they utterly rushed the game...because Namco were also making Tekken Tag Tournament 2, which caused Soul Project to cut contents out of SCV's initial developments and storyboard.
reboot the story or the gameplay?
This is sad... Tira never really got a moment to shine as the Arch Villain...
Elysium is the classic Villain she call herself soul caliber
Guys, I don't know if you know this or not, but the story mode wasn't awful on accident. The early release date made them dumb it down. Heck, they even had some lines from other characters recorded for the completed story. I was personally quite interested in Patroklos' and Pyrrha's story, and I'm glad they showed off sadistic Tira < 3, but I also hoped to see all of their personal stories. The newbies interest me a lot more, because you have Viola who doesn't remember who she is, and there are TONS of evidence to suggest she is Amy, who is my favourite SC character of all time, Leixia and Natsu because I want to find out what happened to Taki and Leixia is Xiba's sister, though she doesn't know it yet. I find Xiba interesting because he's Kilik and Xianghua's son, and I mean, who wouldn't be interested in that?
+Liam McMurray Yes yes yes, but it wasn´t developed anyway so it ended as bs
They really missed an opportunity to make some of the other legacy characters playable. Even if some of the fighting styles might've been a bit of copy + paste. What really disappointed me was the Legendary Souls exclusive costumes of Nightmare, Siegfried and Cervantes not being obtainable without hacking or modding.
Voldo is the weirdest character...
They don't call him "Enigmatic" for nothing.
That's why we love him.
I dunno hehe
@@TornadoZX825 It's actually her.
Nope, Voldo's a man. I checked.
Have you noticed that alpha patrokolos is in Setsuka style? He can be deadly!
Tadashi Hatsuke But still brings nothing new to the game at all........
Lucas Jessen yes but Setsuka is one of my favorite character when it comes to speed and strength. Too bad I play the broken destiny one.
Tadashi Hatsuke That's true but they could've done to Patroklos what they did to Amy: Give an original style with a few of the moves.It worked so well........
She is his master
Patroklos trained this when he was young
Farewell, Soul Calibur, Goodbye forever. Rest in peace
Not bad--I find it interesting that both of the swords are evil in their own way, as they both represent war and absolute ideology over free will.
I really love this game. I love patroklos. I love the story. I cried at the end. It's not rushed.
I’m still pissed that there’s no endings for characters
zwei passing away is what tea had me crying :(
Is that so? How unfortunate there’s no way to prove it.
It was rushed but I did like the story
I liked the story too, but it was so short :(
Patty gives his best 'Superman is a dick' homage at 6:41.
Like, seriously. I can picture Pat holding a pitcher of water over the heads of Pyrrha and Cassandra, as they lie dying from thirst. :p
I love the song that plays during the Alpha Patroklas and Pyrra Omega fight. Dunno why.
This was awesome, but MAN was it way too short! JESUS!!
I didn't think it would end like this. Thanks for uploading!
My heart goes out to Pyrrha, she didn't deserve that.
wew, that's harley quinn using ring blade
Okay. The best things in the story in my book were Tira and Pyrrha. They were awesome. Still, characters like Raphael and Cervantes were not featured in the story at all, nor were they mentioned. Great characters like Ivy and Seigfried are only cameos with limited focus in the story. New characters like Leixia, Xiba, and Viola had even less focus for some reason. Z.W.E.I had more of a role in the story, but then nobody knows what happened to him. Those disappointed me, but the most disappointing thing in the story, in my opinion, was Patroklos.
Patroklos is the worst protagonist I have dealt with in a video game in a long time. I seriously despise him. It's okay to like him, but I seriously can't stand him. What he did unmercifully to the people in the beginning, how he behaved towards people in general except Pyrrha, has a very awful sense of justice even though he thought through the majority of the story that he knew what he was doing, how he treated Pyrrha DESPITE his vow and word in finding and protecting her (I know he sort of learned about this in the end but I still hated that so much. Poor Pyrrha needed him at the time, yet he.... UGH!), and how randomly one of my past favorite characters got her fighting style copied on him (Setsuka), since it feels so out of place to me. I looked it up on the reason why, but it was never explained in the game so I never understood that. I have many more reasons on why I hate him, but those are the main reasons why I hate him. After the story, he didn't seem to learn much but mainly accepting the only family member he has in his life now, which was so damn obvious. I had neutral feelings for him until the story ended, so that I can make my full judgement on him fairly. Now that it did, I hate him.
My god, poor Sophitia made.... that. Pyrrha was tolerable. I liked her at least. Why not her? Why her asshole of a brother, who is also naive as f***? Put Siegfried, Sophitia, Cassandra, Pyrrha, Z.W.E.I, anyone else as the main protagonist next time. It's one thing to be an ass, but Patroklos seems to be an ass for all the wrong reasons I can imagine. Can't stand him.
*****
ZWEI would have been an interesting and cool choice to be a protagonist. Tira became the main antagonist for a change (yeah she was such an a**. Loved her), so why not ZWEI? He actually acted more as the protagonist compared to the two siblings, where Pyrrha is mostly the victim and in a way the "damsel in distress" while Patroklos had many issues.
Yeah, that's understandable. My reason that I liked her is that since she, along with Tira and Patroklos, had the largest role in the story in my opinion, then along with Tira I liked Pyrrha too. That doesn't change the fact that I loved Tira a whole lot more, even though I never use her since she's really difficult to use. Pyrrha, she was.... meh. She was okay. She was adorable to me at least. lol She has so much potential left out in the story since she was playing herself as the victim so much. She didn't really handle herself as much as I thought she would, which is a shame.
I used Tira since SC3 too and I have always been horrible. lol
I agree that I hope that Pyrrha will be toughened up like Talim, who is btw cool. I don't use her but she reminds me of one of my most favorite Samurai Shodown characters, Nakoruru.Either he or her own mother, who hates fighting too but know that she had too for many reasons.
I feel your pain, man. I didn't buy this sad excuse of a SC game for a good reason and just seeing Patroklos makes me wanna strangle that SOB.
And tbh, I only respect Pyrrha, not only for being too scared in a fight, but for not being a dipshit like him.
I beat the story in less than a few hours, which is absolutely ridiculous when that and the character creator were pretty much all the hype for the game when it was being developed. I don't care if it's a fighting game.. They could have added some RPG elements and free-roaming to keep the players busy, and actually give players the opportunity to interact with the characters of the game rather than looking at those pathetic storybook cut-scenes that the game offered. Look at the Final Fantasy franchise.. many of their games are packed with extra mini-games and other game-play that did not involve the main fighting. I'm not a fan of playing fighting games online, and in my eyes that's the only thing that can keep people interested in the game if they beat it and unlocked most of the custom creation stuff.
Developers have a lot to work with when it comes to the Xbox One, PS4, and PC. If they can't be bothered to make a game with a more in-depth story mode and other features such as the individual mini stories that went with every character in the roster, then I'm simply not going to waste my time and money.
i love this game so much i played the hell out of it as a kid
Holy balls, I have no idea what happened between 3 to 5 but... that was amazing
Oh.. it was a beautiful story. I was worried after reading the comments, but at least, the story was so well done and beautiful. It is true, our classic characters, "the veterans", doesn't appear so much. But I feel it was in the correct way, they appeared to guide young characters to do the right thing (or the bad just like Tira), it was a truly representation of real life. Ivy had lost her faith, but Patroklos gives her new hope. Also, the role of Siegfried was very important to make Patroklos stronger. Leixia and the others had a short appearance, but it was important too. This time, the story wanted to show something completely new: As we always know, Soul Edge was the bad option and Soul Calibur was the good one. But in this game, they said something with so much more value! Good or evil become the same thing when you are biased, but when you act with love, you can show mercy and you are able to forgive your own mistakes and those of others! I think this moral is priceless!
I enjoy it so much!! Thank you so much for upload it!!!! Also, you made incredible fights! you are the holy warrior endeed! hahaha ;D

People just don't appreciate the deep literary themes present in this story. Instead, they just whine about being challenged by the protagonist.
this ending almost made me cry
What deep literary themes? Its shallow as hell. Sure, the brother-sister bond is sweet and the ending is really heartwarming, but the story as a whole is pretty terrible. I still like the game, though.
Try reading some Greek mythology. This shit's deep as the ocean is long.
...Erm, yes. There's an /attempt/ to be deep and interesting. However, the story falls flat on its ass in doing so.
The issue with the story is not that the theme is present. The issue is with out its presented. So little time is spent in developing the characters that they basically just become tools for exposition. Characters we should like are demoted to bystanders to the protagonists, who, mind you, are no less tools.
If you want to make a character an asshole (Looking at you, Patty Cakes.) and then make them redeem themselves, give them redeemable qualities and a conflicting viewpoint. Something, ANYTHING to make the transformation believable. As it stands, the story is a damn mess and would need heavy reworks to make it enjoyable. It's barely bearable at this point.
What? He got a new sword.
The first Soul Calibur game I ever played (first I saw was IV) and I had no idea what was going on. The so fast-paced. Now I get to relieve the glory days... and I still don't know what's happening.
A interesting take on the Soul story - lots of focus on human struggle and weakness here.
I love Soul Calibur V and everything, but it sucks without the best characters ever, in my opinion. Cassandra, Talim, Sueng-Mi, Xianghua, Taki, Link, Sophitia. I'm pretty sure everyone misses them. Many love the original characters more than the failure offsprings. Just saying when they make Soul Calibur 6, I want Link to be in it. Haha. Link was good on Soul Calibur 2.
Link is my favorite Soul Caliber character. :3 But they would have to beg Nintendo to put Link in SC 6
What about Necrid He only show up in Sc2
+David Machado No please, no more Link
CoolGaminginc On the Nintendo switch :)
But still, im waiting for SC6. Hopefully, it will be better than this.
(Sees that it is worser) Damnit
(Sees that is better) YEEEEEEEEEEEEESS
Console exclusive characters are banned from competition anyways. And Link's moveset was total BS imo.
I do miss all these other characters you mentioned and hope they return in VI. Taki
I hope soulcalibur vi this year has a good storyline
Yeah....
I like this
the plot is above average,honestly and so is the music
(if they only made it with in game graphics instead of these cheap paint jobs)
I want Soul Calibur 5 to become backwards compatible for Xbox One because I have Soul Calibur 6 and I want one of the greatest games in this franchise.
Pyrrah: ''I dont wanna die'' *STAB*STAB*STAB*
Thanks for bringing back good old memories
Full movie! Awesome!
Anyone finds it irritating that Patroklos shouts about justice when he's been running through innocent civilians without even blinking?
Ugh, I did.
Nope it's normal and badass
I've played one through 4 its an amazing series.
maxi is probably one of my favorites
David Chynoweth
Kilik.
Too bad he got replaced by Xibitch.
A Terran Republic Grunt Kilik is in the game. You have to go through Asia on arcade to unlock him
The storyline ended up being a big waste of potential, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seemed like 3 and 4 was hyping Sophia's kids to be like the strongest wielders of the swords but instead Pyyra just felt like another minion and Patrokalos seemed like a generic hero character. plus a lot of the other characters seemed under utilized ,
that's exactly how I felt, they didn't know what they wanted to do with the story, at this point, I think it would be better to start from the beginning again, and just work the story back into it
Frankly I think Pyrra should have been the one person that could control the sword maybe have it be a yin and yang thing where the two siblings are destined to guard the swords till the end of time. Heck if you did that you could easily fast-forward the game to present day and do a Soul Calibur v, Tekken. I don't know though maybe having the wielder of soul edge be a good guy might rub people off.
Patroklos is also the most cliched protagonist ever.
This game has its flaws, but still is good: its just rushed and incomplete: time and budget contraints, from what I read. if only arcade mode had endings for all characters, if that stupid Odashima hadn't killed Sophitia and if Talim was brought back along Taki and Zasalamel (one badass dude!)
Rayne Kraven Odashima?
Lucas Jessen Daishi Odashima was the director of this game and he is the one who came up with the utterly stupid Ideas of not including Sophitia, Taki, Zasalamel, Talim, Cassandra and Seong Mina in the game.
Rayne Kraven Amy too.She was also a fan favorite.And arguably Pyyrha is gonna become Sophitia's successor.
Lucas Jessen Yup, Amy too. As for Sophitia's kids, they are only a great dissapointment. The Boy is utterly arrogant and blinded by revenge (not justice as he claims), the girl is a gutless wimp whi always cries and feels sorry for everything... they both are the exact opposite of their mother who was selfless, courageous, wise, and driven by the real meaning of good and justice.
Rayne Kraven Pyrrha wasn't that bad in my opinion.Actually,she had every right to be a scaredy cat seeing as she was sold to slavery at a young age,probably harassed in ways too horrible for me to think and as if it wasn't bad enough,manipulated by that schizophrenic whore Tira into killing millions of innocent lives to increase her malfestation(that was actually kind of Sophitia's fault to begin with) and,worst of all,rejected by her brother after her malfestation took place.Her personality is reasonable taking in consideration the things that she went through.Patroklos is the only disappointment and should die in a fire and never be talked about again.......
Does it bother anyone knowing Pyrrha is older than Patroklos?
yes
it like makes phyrra more of a pussy
CloudBomb3r wait what?!?
@@demontorch I was surprised when I found this out too.
It's a _one_ year difference-_-
Why do I get the feeling that the creator saw Soul Edge (as Devil) and Soul Caliber (as God). So the humans both destroyed both God and the Devil. That's what I got out of the whole story. Hmm interesting I guess though that's not how it works in the real life.
is it just me, or does the voice of Patrokolos sound just like the voice of Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto?
Yuri Lowenthal?
That's because it IS him
patrokolos has the same voice as Saskue

Amy Lionheart Well look at we have here...the wait is over my friend.
#Swagvegito # Not quite over yet...
That has to be the best ending in a video game like this. It's happy, but sad at the same time because Patroklos has one true wish on his mind, to save his younger sister Pyrrha and stop evil once and for all. Elysium is the real antagonist in this story. She was the one who made Pyrrha get malfested and made Patroklos and Pyrrha fight each other. She never cared about them. Only for herself, Elysium. And both Soul Calibur and Soul Edge were both destroyed and Patroklos and Pyrrha, no longer malfested, go home together and save the world.
Raymond Bermea what a bitch
Pyrrha actually the older 1
Patroklos and Pyrrha has ended Covid malfested from fighting each other
No one can replace Setsuka!
Even though the story was rushed the ending was sweet
It took me a long time to realise thst graf dumas in this game is actually Raphael possesed by soul edge. Its a shame this story mode was so lacklustrer
I hope they replay that part and explain more in Soul Calibur 7 or 8. They focused only on the Alexandras in 5 and left Raphael, Amy, Zwei and many other interesting characters' stories aside without explanation. Raphael and Amy/Viola are really important, they really should have explained about them. I know a lot was lost with the big tsunami and they now had only like 25% remaining or something and they had to get the game out with their contract but I hope they have the chance to focus on Raphael, Viola and to a lesser degree on others' stories in the reboot.
if i could of give how much like and subscribes i wanted to you would be the most popular person on youtube. love the gameplay and the story.the story made me cry."soulcalibur forever"
What the fuck happened to Soul Calibur? I mean I still remember booting up my PS2 to play Soul Calibur 2 and 3 (along with the special intro easter-egg of Space Invaders), and now it's....THIS??
Seriously the story was basically not there. And unlike games like the original Borderlands, a game that also barely had a story, the gameplay and other features outside of character creator aren't entertaining enough. And the story being focused on Sophitia's kids is, while a nice idea, was executed HORRIBLY.
It isn't too late, thankfully. The game still has good music and audio design with, I guess average fighting mechanics. But for the next game to be a hit it NEEDS TO HAVE:
* A focus on story for all the characters, not just two specific ones that has a creepy incest subtext. That and one that explains WHO and WHAT happened to characters, be them new or old. Who the fuck is Xiba and why do I care? Why is Maxi still a Japanese-Elvis look alike despite the time gap? What about Kilik and Xianghua, and their supposed affair thing? EXPLAIN THIS SHIT.
* Cutscenes that are more than just still-shots. The few in-game cutscenes are fantastic to look at. And I know Namco/Project Soul can easily do cutscenes well. Just look at past games.
* Fighting styles for the create-a-character shouldn't just be limited to characters already in the game. Personally I don't mind it but, I know a lot of people liked what SC3 did.
* A bonus mode like Edge Master Mode like in SC2. That was freakin radical, and was way better than the tower BS and all from 4 and 5. Heck even Tales of the Sword from 3 would be a good thing.
* Be more accessible and such for newer players. They tried this with Broken Destiny and kinda with 5 but, those were freakin pathetic.
*And finally, lip syncing that doesn't seem like a marionette show, nor character models that have an odd plastic look to em. Might be more a game engine thing, but still a complaint.
If the next game is doesn't atleast, ATLEAST have the storymode or alt-mode thing in the sequel, I'm gonna be super dissapointed. And I think many others will be too.
Boy STOP YOUR RAGING ........ITS A GRAT GAME THE BEST OF ALL OF THEM
Cody Tebbetts NO U.
In all seriousness it isn't. And you not explaining WHY, and just saying it is shows you're already wrong to start with.
Copadon you're not alone with this. I mean the new Soul Calibur games look GREAT. But that's all. I absolutely loved SC2, the third one was meh because they started changing shit, which went worse with SC4.
OnlyReitasGirl Oh if it's one thing I can agree on, is that the games are AMAZING on a graphical level. I can be ticked off by a lot of things but, really that's something I can't fault.
I can fault however, almost everything else. SC2 was probably the first fighting game I played that wasn't Tekken (Street Fighter and the like never interested me. At all.), and I thought it was amazing if a bit slow-ish. Then SC3 wasn't bad because, it was still Soul Calibur to me i.e. Story mode that was surprisingly good, a few new characters that weren't just clones, and a few other things. SCIV on the other hand, started to move away from that and, into what I think is actually Casual Gaming territory. That scares me, in all honesty. So thanks for agreeing with me.
Incidentally, I'm a bit surprised you have Jodie from Beyond Two Souls as your avatar. That game is....Well it isn't like a game really, and not in the best way haha.
Copadon Sorry I know this was six days ago but what more can they expand on this story? After the originals it pretty much became NEW NIGHTMARE/ NEW HERO everytime. I think they focused more on balancing characters and MP. I love the character creation though
I only watched this for the beginning cinematic of Seigfried vs. old Nightmare. I wish there was more story. It makes me want to write my own now.
Ik this was 8 years ago but go for it
1:45:22 I can never take this bit seriously because I feel like the cat on his shoulder is staring at me xD!
I can think at least five things wrong with the story of Soul Calibur 5.
1) Patroklos is by far the worst protagonist. He's beyond naive, stubborn, doesn't think about the consequences of his own actions, he doesn't listen to anyone and he acts like a spoiled selfish child who can't have his way. I could go on about how awful Patroklos is as a character. But to sum up, he really needs to be punched in the face.
2) The story doesn't to seem to make up its mind on who the main villain. Is it Graf Dumas/Nightmare? Is it Tira? Is it the Spirit of Soul Calibur itself? Its not really clear.
3) Most of the characters roster in the game have barely anything to do with the story. Some of them don't appear in the story at all. Not even the newer characters get enough screen time.
4) 85% of the story is told through a illustrated storyboard with very few fully computer animated scenes. Soul Calibur 6's story suffers from the same problem. Are the developers just that lazy?
5) There's no option of playing our original characters in story mode.
Patroklos:
...
*MALFESTED!!!*
Despite the story being rushed, it's as good as it could've been for what they were able to scrap together, Paktroklos was meant to be an unlikeable douche at the start that warms up to the player over time as the story was meant to be the final arc of the series from what I gather
Alot of people bicker that they don't like the new characters replacing the old ones when that 10+ year gap is supposed to be the reason for it as the older characters have to move on at some point, whether or not you like their replacements is up to you
Reminds me of many of my personal experiences from the past.
At 1:05:00 I feel like if the story was not rushed kilik would've been in the story to tell patroklos where to find xiba and leixia...that honestly would've been better than patroklos finding them randomly....
*1:05:43
Taki is my favorite character in Soul Calibur but too sad!! :'(
Dude play natsu she is basically taki in a different form
@@Schtauffen04 Natsu doesn't have the same personality only the same gameplay and when we love a character, we love them more than just a gameplay.
@@spacecat6022 i know that. It's even said that taki TRAINED Natsu
@@Schtauffen04 I know. She had to seal a demon inside of her while Natsu was an orphan baby and Taki felt guilty about it so she took her and protected her, raise her with her friend Chie in their ninja village, yet she is also ready to strike down Natsu should the demon overtake her. But still, no matter the ties, they are two separate persons, with different personalities and looks. You might like one and not the other. It's not only gameplay, otherwise you may as well play with matcmen with no story and who care? If only the gameplay is what matters...
Patroklos King Moment 33:30
the best play of word, el mejor juego del mundo, no tiene comparación... con nada
I wanted to see pyrahh in sc6 I hope she return her and brother return… I wanted to see her go against tira but both of there powers are amazing when they both touch the dark side…
Patrokolos's style is one of my favorites and I dont think he or the story is that bad.And this game is really good so forget who ever said its horrible.although the drawing parts could've been better. And some more parts.
My favorite parts was mostly when patrokolos was changing
All they did was kill of Setsuka (an amazing character) and made her into this shitty character that spams like hell on his alpha version.
True
If you said that then fuck you valentine
Mario Calibur It's true.
soul calibur 5 has released back in 2012, with patrokolos have to save his sister from soul edge .
Siegfried: "You are worthy to wield Soul Calibur." Patroklos: "Never heard of it." Two minutes later they talk about Nightmare. Patroklos: "You mean the Azure Knight, who wielded Soul Edge?" Seems kinda inconsistent. Both swords are tied together, why would he know about only one of them?
+HS_Merciless Correct me if Im wrong but for example Seong Mi-na and Yun seong were following soul edge and Mi-na nver knew about Soul Calibur until SC4
My verdict after playing this:
Well.. At least the soundtrack and drawing art are awesome.
"Victory belongs to the last one standing"
Thanks, captain obvious!
this is so epic!
I'd say I was too young to really comprehend the storyline when this game came out, but I came back when I learned this game had such a bad rep. Even I was disappointed by the rehashed versions of old characters, and I gotta agree that Natsu, Leixia, and Xiba don't hold up to their predecessors. They feel like straight up stock characters, but the siblings... aren't as bad as I thought. I was always a little annoyed with Phyrra, especially since I preferred Cassandra and was never huge on Sophitia to begin with, but her development makes sense. Patrokolos was definitely a dick in the beginning, but here's what I've gathered: both the siblings were terribly naive, and that's something they take after their mother, but they overcome it, and yeah, it was rushed but I see what this could've been and what it is and this absolutely could've been the end. Some real strong points exists too. First of all, this did a great job of encompassing the true nature of both the swords. Both of them being destroyed is a fitting end, and while I'm talking about the ending, I really don't think it implies incest as much as people think. It's a really tough thing writing two siblings of the opposite gender so close and age that care about each other without people assuming something weird of it. That's not a problem with the game's portrayal, that's a larger societal problem that I'd be spending way too much time breaking down, but understand, they are essentially two kids trying to make up for lost time and that's ALL there is too it. Also, ZWEI is an awesome character. It's truly sad we'll probably never see him again unless the whole roster makes a comeback and I kinda doubt it. Voila is interesting too, and I wish we had more time with that crew. It's significantly better than the crew that's under Maxi's guidance. On the note of ZWEI though, has anyone taken a moment to look at the voice cast?? You've got Yuri Lowenthal as Patrokolos, who is the voice of Sasuke Uchiha, Laura Bailey as Phyrra who is most known for Tohru Honda and Maka Albarn, and ZWEI who is voiced by Matt Mercer... Levi Ackerman. It's extremely good casting, honestly better than we've ever seen from Soul Calibur, and you gotta give it to em', it was a good performance. I just... mostly what this makes me think is a hope Soul Calibur has a much longer life ahead of it. I love this series so much, and even this game has sentimental value. I wish these characters and this story got its true justice, but seriously, I look at it and I see all the promise it truly held.
Natsu is the daughter of Taiki
@@johnmarkfrederick8245 The orphained Natsu was found by Taki in a village and Taki had to seal a demon inside her. Natsu is her protegee, her student, Taki protected her and raised her with her friend Chie, so in a way, Natsu is like a daughter but she is not officially.
Soulcalibur III:
Is very good because there are new characters, and very bad because there are new characters.
And yeah only 3 months and we will get scVI but.... :P
So Patroklos blindly followed Dumas, without hesitation or forethought. He murdered without hesitation. If his mother was as astute a person and trained him well, why is it he's so dense? You'd think basic human discernment would have led him to suspect Dumas was toying him, but he continues to bother me as a character. He seems so blissfully unaware. What bothered me even more is how he turned his sister away as she became malfested, though she defended him. He's definitely not my favorite.
He's just simply the tobirama towards the malefested. Racist asf. But that's what I like about Patroklos.
