I've seen this intro so many times and it's STILL utterly amazing. There are so many great things to it; pretty much every sequence before the point where Astaroth fights the sisters is awesome. I love every scene from the point where Nightmare consumes the souls, most notably the visual metaphor regarding Siegfried at 3:24, that's just amazing. This is probably the best video game intro ever!
"transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords... Eternally retold" i loved those lines from Soul Blade.... " The legend will never die!"
I'm obsessed. ♥ I really miss when my dad would play this game with me. I lost the game, and i want to buy it again to play and bring back some daughter/dad memories.
lol. I've seen this so many times, but I still get tingles at the Ivy VS Cervantes part. also, I LOVE the part where Taki is like "oh shit!" when voldo bends back lol.
really!! looking forward to it. so...which one is better the manga ver. or the anime? is the anime is filled with filler episode like every other anime out there? because i dont't like filler,the story ussually suck.
this game was my baby i swear i never stopped playing it especially since i was a complete badass at using NIghtmare, i also loved the the color customization and character creation modes kickass, but i think that SC2 and SC3 had the best Nightmare suits, badass armor
I love this intro! My favorite part is when Taki misses Voldo and you can see the shock in her eyes... But when Mitsurugi cuts the umbrella with evil in his eyes is close behind...
I can't wait to play this game........I'm getting it tomorrow and it will be the first game that have played from the Soul series in over forteen years since Soul Blade. I've really missed this game...
I definatly agree in SC2 once u kno wen 2 attack its very easy to button mash an not have a clue which combo ur making. This looks good , ima gonna order it off amazon now, only like £6 , Cassandra and Sophitia FTW !!!
absolutely agreed. the stories around all the characters are just way too many to put them all in a single 2 hour movie... but a SC tv series would be great, i probably would buy all the dvds^^
well i never trained in a school, but i have taught myself martial arts. my own personal style is broken down into a "mood" my stance reflects my current one. if i was mad, then i use a slower but much more powerful stance but if i was feeling like i usually do, which is listless but i dont let an emotion effect me, never have either, for tht ive been called a snake. my bad lol never heard its name b4, i practice it every once in a while wats a kamae?
this game is the sole reason I got a PS2. I saw this and I cried. then i played the game. I cried again. but these were tears of pain. the game was fucking hard. i remember breaking my controller while fighting Abyss. The RTS thing was fun and I wished they included that in SCIV. I hope it makes a return in SCV
@ThatGuywhoSpillNerd Nightmare is the will of the Soul Edge basically. Siegfried was a man who sought the Soul Edge, found it, and got possessed by it, becoming Nightmare for a time.
SC3 is still easily the best game in the series to me, everything from the music to the character creation, to even the stages was waaaaay better to what I got in 4. I can only hope that 5 will bring back all the things that made the previous games so great.
A truley ultimate "Soul" game, would be one that's up to IV's standard in graphics and sound, but has a propper storyline/weapon collection mode that's a combination of ToS and Edge Master Mode, as well as another "CoTS" mode to. Also, they should bring back those "Destined Battle" scene, complete with the music - those things kicked ass!
I only Soul Blade (Edge) and Soul Calibur 2, so sorry if this is a stupid question. But do we find out in game, why the characters that fight in this intro are fighting? The only one that makes sense to me is Cervantes and Ivy.
did that black guy in white clothes become evil and get the evil sword??? btw awesome intro, awesome attacks and characters lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ugh, for all you wondering why this isn't for the GCN, its because they've been working on Soul Calibur Legends for the Wii. If I remember correctly, it is set to be a prequel to the series, with a little more stress than usual on one-player mode since it develops seigfried's character into nightmare. In other words, a third person action/adventure game. It should be here by Q2 of next year (before summer).
were their any special characters in this one (ex: hiehachi, link, spawn, yoda, DV) Cuz i know tira and zasalamel were new but werent cameo appearances.
I found that soul calibur III had the best intro and the best single playr adventure. But, I like soul calibur IV, because the redone characters were amazing. Plus, Nightmare's voice was badass.
Siegfried, Raphael, Crevantes, Kilik, Zasalamel and Abyss my favourite. Theeir moves are the best and I like it! Soul Calibur 3 is the best game especially Character Creation. I heard Soul Calibur 4 is currently in making...Hopefully more character will be in this game!!!
I agree with you Arekkusu. I played #4 a LOT, and was stuck with a ps2 for a while, played soul cal 2, and still enjoyed it. I almost like it more, it feels like there's more to do. Except no character creator. (And slightly inferior graphics)
Can someone tell me how many soul calibur's there are? Planning to get one as i remember playing the first one on gamecube and loving it. And what's this broken destiny thing? Please reply :D
yo just to let ya'll know that sigfried was nightmare from soul calibur 2. nightmare is the soul of soul edge in his old armour in this game(aka inferno). sigfried is the guy wit the big sword who imagines his hand turns into a green claw in the intro...just to let ya'll know
Yeah I agree and I like it for the characters and the story I mean soul calibur 3 was my first time playing any soul calibur game and after I started I got addicted to the game. but the story and characters is what keeps my attention on a game plus I like the chronicals of the sword, and all the different endings, when I heard about 4 comn out I was very excited but they took so much away and theres no story to follow but the graphics are good but I would give it a 2 out of 5 also
Soul Calibur III will be my all time favorite compared to four. I have played both but SC IV was lacking in some areas, and I remember having fun playing this game. Too bad I don't have my ps2 anymore, nor this game.
@Godsmasherbot man but lizardman is a beast though. Have you ever ran into the 20 lizard man challenge in story mode? i can beat ultra hard mode but not 20 lizard man :[
The reason why Namco didn't allow you to use those styles were for two reasons, one which I already mentioned and two; because they felt that the guest characters would lose their unique identity. Yes, those fighting styles that Galen, Vader and Yoda use in SCIV are also canon-established styles within the Star Wars Expanded Universe. It also has something to do with the fact that they aren't even native to the universe or timeline which the Soul series is based on.
Probably one of the better intro videos ever made to a game. Both the song and the video flow so well.
GOOOD OLD SC3 MISS THOSE DAYS
Posted on 18th February 2007, no this in 2005/2006 on RUclips.
She's like Nightmare's puppy, she's reeeeeaaaaally evil!!!
But I love her weapon and style!!
I've seen this intro so many times and it's STILL utterly amazing. There are so many great things to it; pretty much every sequence before the point where Astaroth fights the sisters is awesome. I love every scene from the point where Nightmare consumes the souls, most notably the visual metaphor regarding Siegfried at 3:24, that's just amazing. This is probably the best video game intro ever!
best character was saved for the last scene, NIGHTMARE!!!!!! Love when the turns right, and you see the red light. thats just GODLY!
love the music in the intro!! real epic!
"transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords... Eternally retold"
i loved those lines from Soul Blade.... " The legend will never die!"
I played some of the game and man the battle stages are so cool! Cool intro too
I'm obsessed. ♥
I really miss when my dad would play this game with me.
I lost the game, and i want to buy it again to play and bring back some daughter/dad memories.
Great intro - great theatricality. Awesome!
i love this intro and the music in the background :D
He's one of my favs too!
Setsuka was so beautiful here :) Best intro ever
lol. I've seen this so many times, but I still get tingles at the Ivy VS Cervantes part. also, I LOVE the part where Taki is like "oh shit!" when voldo bends back lol.
This intro is so awesome beyond words.
J'adore trop se jeu, il est énorme! et les perso sont magnifiques !
I love this game soooo much >_
great opening, hopefully the fifth one will do one similar to this considering it has a lot to explain...also love Ivy's intro!!!!
really!! looking forward to it. so...which one is better the manga ver. or the anime? is the anime is filled with filler episode like every other anime out there? because i dont't like filler,the story ussually suck.
this game was my baby i swear i never stopped playing it especially since i was a complete badass at using NIghtmare, i also loved the the color customization and character creation modes kickass, but i think that SC2 and SC3 had the best Nightmare suits, badass armor
this is awesome! my fav is ivy! not a good character for beginners but once u practice she soooo kicks butt!!!!!!
fuck yeah!
It has to be one of the best character establishing moments I've ever seen.
I love this intro! My favorite part is when Taki misses Voldo and you can see the shock in her eyes... But when Mitsurugi cuts the umbrella with evil in his eyes is close behind...
Kilik is awesome. He's the only character with a stick as a weapon. Gives him quite the edge in most fights.
I second that. Link was all-around awsome!
Probably the best fighting game ever. Can be expolioted with some characters but fairly balancd. 9/10.
I heard that there may be a movie of Soul Calibur, that would be awesome =D
So epic. They should make a Movie. I'll watch that shit as soon as it comes out.
WOW i never saw this intro, its great.
man i love to see how the soulblade series came along
I love it < 3 i miss it
I can't wait to play this game........I'm getting it tomorrow and it will be the first game that have played from the Soul series in over forteen years since Soul Blade. I've really missed this game...
now this is what i call good entertainment!!!
Myfavorite game anyways so cool!
kooool i love sc3!!! i created my own character i'm good with her lol
Seigfried, My baby... you look good. Kilik, Drool. I was so glad to find a copy on RUclips to show my friends... I have the game.
I definatly agree in SC2 once u kno wen 2 attack its very easy to button mash an not have a clue which combo ur making. This looks good , ima gonna order it off amazon now, only like £6 , Cassandra and Sophitia FTW !!!
this one was good. I still have to say 2 is my all time favorite though.
such an awsome game! my favourite character is Nightmare though i love the storyline with Siegfried and Nightmare
omg i just love the silent mitsurugi and setsuka part. haha. it's so intense.
I love how nightmare goes all sauron stile on the soldiers :D
absolutely agreed. the stories around all the characters are just way too many to put them all in a single 2 hour movie... but a SC tv series would be great, i probably would buy all the dvds^^
well i never trained in a school, but i have taught myself martial arts. my own personal style is broken down into a "mood" my stance reflects my current one. if i was mad, then i use a slower but much more powerful stance but if i was feeling like i usually do, which is listless but i dont let an emotion effect me, never have either, for tht ive been called a snake.
my bad lol never heard its name b4, i practice it every once in a while
wats a kamae?
@zenix25 are u talkin about the intos or the actual GAME cos if ur talkin about the intos i gotta agree with u on that one
This is awesome i could watch it for hours if it were the length of a movie :-)
also....
Who are the guest characters in SC3?
They're two characters who made an appearance in Smash Melee. They have some background in Japanese games.
Is Soul Caliber 3 for Gamecube?
this game is the sole reason I got a PS2. I saw this and I cried. then i played the game. I cried again. but these were tears of pain. the game was fucking hard. i remember breaking my controller while fighting Abyss. The RTS thing was fun and I wished they included that in SCIV. I hope it makes a return in SCV
Nightmare, always kicking ass :)
@ThatGuywhoSpillNerd
Nightmare is the will of the Soul Edge basically. Siegfried was a man who sought the Soul Edge, found it, and got possessed by it, becoming Nightmare for a time.
sophitia and cassandra are my favs in the soul caliber series!
This is probably the best intro out of the whole series.
yep...thats why you should follow the hype and stick with what you like...new or old :)
Cool vedio!
SC3 is still easily the best game in the series to me, everything from the music to the character creation, to even the stages was waaaaay better to what I got in 4. I can only hope that 5 will bring back all the things that made the previous games so great.
All the scences with Mitsurugi and Setsuka looks like a movie !
It's so...cool!
Big Soul Calibur fan!!!:D
OMG! That was cool!
I like the Soul Blade intro more, but this is still amazing!!!
@XxGDVxX Things like meter management, parrying, Quick Step and the like don't make it deep?
Def my favorite too
A truley ultimate "Soul" game, would be one that's up to IV's standard in graphics and sound, but has a propper storyline/weapon collection mode that's a combination of ToS and Edge Master Mode, as well as another "CoTS" mode to.
Also, they should bring back those "Destined Battle" scene, complete with the music - those things kicked ass!
Yeah, I have that one. Pretty good.
This video has been selected as one of the best uploaded videos in YouYube. Thanks for sharing.

bestofYTchannel
It looks like a movie :D
i love setsuka design in this one
I only Soul Blade (Edge) and Soul Calibur 2, so sorry if this is a stupid question.
But do we find out in game, why the characters that fight in this intro are fighting? The only one that makes sense to me is Cervantes and Ivy.
did that black guy in white clothes become evil and get the evil sword??? btw awesome intro, awesome attacks and characters lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I luv Kilik :p he is so pretty and nimble... Kiliik Rock!!!
It is Phantom Soul Edge. Created out of soul edge's spirit's (Inferno's) new body, which you now call Nightmare.
ugh, for all you wondering why this isn't for the GCN, its because they've been working on Soul Calibur Legends for the Wii. If I remember correctly, it is set to be a prequel to the series, with a little more stress than usual on one-player mode since it develops seigfried's character into nightmare. In other words, a third person action/adventure game. It should be here by Q2 of next year (before summer).
soul calibur is awesome one of the best games of all time
If only you could wield Soul Calibur like that, jabbed into Soul Edge and fused. That'd be sweet. :D
It's as good as SC2's intro, and way better than SC4's. Thanks for the video.
Setsuka is just so epic.
Her attack speed is fucking insane.
were their any special characters in this one (ex: hiehachi, link, spawn, yoda, DV) Cuz i know tira and zasalamel were new but werent cameo appearances.
I found that soul calibur III had the best intro and the best single playr adventure. But, I like soul calibur IV, because the redone characters were amazing. Plus, Nightmare's voice was badass.
Best Intro Best Soulcalibur!
this intro kicks ass!
i get goosebumps watching the scenes with nightmare
Siegfried, Raphael, Crevantes, Kilik, Zasalamel and Abyss my favourite. Theeir moves are the best and I like it! Soul Calibur 3 is the best game especially Character Creation. I heard Soul Calibur 4 is currently in making...Hopefully more character will be in this game!!!
My favorite character is Tira, I love her English voice and how she switches personalties, so fitting for a sociopath.
I agree with you Arekkusu. I played #4 a LOT, and was stuck with a ps2 for a while, played soul cal 2, and still enjoyed it. I almost like it more, it feels like there's more to do. Except no character creator. (And slightly inferior graphics)
Can someone tell me how many soul calibur's there are? Planning to get one as i remember playing the first one on gamecube and loving it. And what's this broken destiny thing? Please reply :D
yo just to let ya'll know that sigfried was nightmare from soul calibur 2. nightmare is the soul of soul edge in his old armour in this game(aka inferno). sigfried is the guy wit the big sword who imagines his hand turns into a green claw in the intro...just to let ya'll know
yeah i know.the intro is fucking awesome!!!i mean i don't give a shit 'bout the story but the battles,and the epic music....i just simly love it!!
I love the smug look on Mitsurugi's face on 2:02
VOLDO!!!! my favorite of all time...
I must shed a tear as well for that...
But my cousin has a PS2 and this game so I can just play it over there.
Yeah I agree and I like it for the characters and the story I mean soul calibur 3 was my first time playing any soul calibur game and after I started I got addicted to the game. but the story and characters is what keeps my attention on a game plus I like the chronicals of the sword, and all the different endings, when I heard about 4 comn out I was very excited but they took so much away and theres no story to follow but the graphics are good but I would give it a 2 out of 5 also
Soul Calibur III will be my all time favorite compared to four. I have played both but SC IV was lacking in some areas, and I remember having fun playing this game. Too bad I don't have my ps2 anymore, nor this game.
They should make a series about this!
@MJNSEIFER Yeah that's a fine idea. Hwang is an awesome character next to Mitsurugi, those old characters had so much charm...
Best intro from any of the games.
convoke convocation convoy or convolution? and is xD good or bad?
There should be a movie for Soul Calibur. Would be bad ass.
hrmm was taki the one voldo was fighting or the one mitsurugi was? they both looked similar
soul calibur is mad addictive
@Godsmasherbot man but lizardman is a beast though. Have you ever ran into the 20 lizard man challenge in story mode? i can beat ultra hard mode but not 20 lizard man :[
