This game brings back so many happy memories; my brother and I would race home every day to play this.
My dude! THE SAME WAS FOR ME AND MY OLDER BROTHER!!
Same for me and my little brother and my dad (learned most of my skills from him lol).
This is why I love games like Soul Calibuer II: they have a magical way of bringing people together!
@@natoriousthehopeful2786 Or bringing back memories of days of gaming old....and boy were they awesome.
Ah yes, the golden age before microtransactions.
This game aged so well, still look as beautiful as it did when it first came out.
Games really haven't advanced much from this time-period in my opinion. I was expecting some wild AI advanecements but developers just focus on hair folices and loot boxes.
so beautiful they largely kept it untouched in HD
I much prefer the overall aesthetics and atmosphere in this game to the later entries which became a bit less grounded and slightly more anime-like. The game looked better without a million special effects and colours on screen
@@Invertedzeroyeah, in sc6 half of the times I can't even tell what's happening on screen without getting flashbanged by a trillion shiny effects. It's just ridiculous. In sc1 and 2 when something was shiny, you pretty much knew what the deal was, something very powerful that was better to dodge. Except inferno. That guy was fire, in a stage in flames, and half of the times I can't even see what is he doing. But that's just the final boss, not every character and weapon
@@ViJolt28469 completely agree
Not gonna lie: Link was my motivating factor to getting SC2, especially on Gamecube. But its thanks to him that helped get me into the series overall.
SC2 holds a special place as my 1st SC & because Link was a guest character on GC, Game's really fun all around.
Link, Nightmare and Raphie were my go to fighters.
Ivy's move set for the Cube was just the same as it was on the Dreamcast.
Ikr
Ya same
@@REfan2002 Yeah, Nightmare is so much fun once you get the hang of him!
@@juliusbelmont350same also to Raphael Sorel.
Soul Calibur II... Best of the Soul Calibur series hands down. I love the Gamecube version since it has Link, voiced by Batsu. Really loved this game. Stinks the Wii U never got the HD version of it but yeah, the HD version was a bummer. I still love it regardless.
the one redeeming quality of the HD version is Spawn vs Heihachi
MegamanNG I had the Xbox version, so I got to play as Spawn instead of Link. It didn't matter to me either way because I'd just instalock Talim
good link is arse
"Soul Calibur 2 HD will come to Nintendo if there's enough demand for it."
"Please, yes! We want it! We loved playing as Link!"
"Guess no one wants it."
MegamanNG this game was my first exposure to the soul caliber series.
imagine unironically getting mad at the fact that he's using Link
This is what pure childhood joy looks like in videogame form.
HAH! ZEA! ZORYAH!
@@GrahamChapmanyep. Link's voice in SC2 still aged well even in 2024.😅
5:31 Jumpback Horseshit is my favorite Netflix cartoon
😂😂😂😂 I love you man hahahaha that made me chuckle I love that show
Bojack Horse man is an amazing show
@@blueaqua358Bojack Horse Man?
This game has some of the best stage-geometry I have seen in a 3D fighting game, giving you the impression that you are fighting in a real place and not just a fighting ring. + it's beautiful ;)
I also used Link as playable character in SC2.
The reason Link used a net, is because his enemies will *catch* a beating. XD
They gonna *catch* these hands
Link being in Soul Calibur was quite the *catch* , huh.
I thought it was to catch the tears of his enemies crying when he whoops their ass ;).
That also works. XD
God that was bad
Link's voice here is the best out of all other Links, NO CONTEST.
So many amazing memories with SoulCalibur 2. Link was awesome in this game and back then I wished he appeared in more Fighting Game crossovers.
WELCOME BACK TO THE STAGE OF HISTORY!
Featuring Link from the Legend of Zelda!
RasenRendan X and dante drom DMC series
NeoJax & Knuckles
If you played this game on any system, including Gamecube or PS2, you are a real G!
Xbox. Got to play as Spawn. Good times
@@hunterz25 spawn was so weird
I was rocking with Heihachi the whole game.
PS2. Heihachi wasn't my favorite tho. Maxi through out the entire SC series was my main go to and favorite.
@@TeamLegacyzx Honestly, I always played with Taki , and Xianghua
Next to Super Smash Bros. Melee and Resident Evil 4, this was one of the games that I've put the most time into as a kid. While putting Link in this game was definitely a HUGE bonus (not to mention being extremely fun to play as), I also loved all the extra modes, awesome music, goofy weapons, character demonstrations, and just how much fun the game was to play. Soul Calibur 2 just has this charm that no other Soul Calibur game has fully captured yet.
Soul calibur 2 is the first ever fighting I've played and I'm super grateful for it.
This game holds up surprisingly well.
Link happily skipping up to Raphael makes me smile.
Should have put it in Japanese so Siegfried, Nightmare and Link had the same voice.
soul calibur 2 was my first real intro to fighting games. id played a few arcade games in cabinets like SF2 and MVC2 but never consistently and i was way young. then i got an xbox and playing Spawn on SC 2 was so incredibly fun. this brings back memories max.
GameCube squad represent!
I own a gamecube to me it's the most underrated system of the GC XB and PS2 era I love mine play it everyday
Gamecube Boyz
@@msvelvetcrowe Agreed. It had the second most diverse catalog of games at the time, and had one of the best long-term controllers imo. So many fantastic memories with friends and my brother. ^u^
@@KusogakiRenfir I assume you own one in 2018? I'm proud to say I do
@@msvelvetcrowe Unfortunately not... :(
My original GC was given away by my mother to her relatives. Since the Wii came not too long after, I never really bothered to use a GC to play its games. I could play on it again for authenticity, but nowadays it's more of a collector's thing, you know? Tis be sad. I wouldn't mind SC2HD for current gens or beyond, and even then, SC6 is on the horizon.
Shout out to the twitch chat that was naming out all of Inferno's weapons as he was using them. Glad to see I wasn't the only kid who memerized all the different weapon's names.
The music in soul Calibur games are dope
This game will never be surpassed. Best characters,music and weapon master.
Fucking hell man, this is the only soulcalibur I've ever played and it was a damn good one. The memories are overwhelming, almost.
19:22 Umm...that was Cervantes' Imitation Sword...which is his joke weapon...which lowers his stats...
That's the best part about that rant.
I can never forget the over 400 hours i put into this game, countless amount of matches shared between me and my brother throughout the years. Good shit.
The amount of insult that me and my brothers said to each other when we played sc2 on Xbox was crazy and good at the same time
This one of my favorite games of all time, period. So much passion, great characters, guests, unlockables, features, hot damn... They'll never make games like this again.
This game has a special place in my heart, next to CvS2, DOA2, and Power Stone
I had this game on PS2, it was an unforgettable awesome experience.
2 was and still to this day the best Soul Caliber game in the series... PERIOD Good video btw 👍🏻
Soul Caibur 3*
There, fixed it for you. 👍
Man I would LOVE to see Soul Calibur II HD on the Switch.
Me too
I want a PC release, kinda like how SC6 is on PC.
Soul Calibur 2 GameCube Version: Best Soul Calibur ever and, for me, the best fighting game ever made.
Hands down, I feel like everything about sc2 is perfect
We need Soul Caliber 2 HD on the Switch.
Bagel Byte yeah! But with the Japanese voices this time!
y not both?
We do but Nintendo doesn't like money so they don't have virtual console titles anymore :(
It wouldn't no, but if they won't even put the game on a VC as is, I have no hope for an HD version. There was an HD version of SCII released online a while back but of course it didn't have Link for obvious reasons. Best option is emulation via Dolphin.
Ah but, even so, it would still require Nintendo to have a virtual console would it not? XD Or at least Nintendo at least agreeing to to in some form due to Link being in the Gamecube version?
Great game. Man me and my friends used to have wars in SC2. Friendships were broken with this one, at least for a few days. Lol.
Hell yea! A friend literally made me go home early during a sleep over because he lost
Lmao, yea it got serious with this game man.
I had this on gamecube and I its still one of my all time favorites, you're bringing back memories Max
Can yall imagine an HD Switch version with all 3 Spawn, Link and Hihachi?¿
Lit
Heck yea, playing the best version, I remember putting hundreds of hours into this game as a teen and it wasn't even in my top 3 most played GC games 😆
Seung Mina was my original go-to ever since Soul Blade for PS1, but then Talim showed up and changed everything becoming my all time favorite.
The backflip combo😮💨
Looking at Seoug-Mina’s 3rd costume made you want old costumes of characters as cc content
Probably wishful thinking, but that would be legit
My first Soul Calibur game and favorite of all time, especially on the GameCube that introduce me to other fighting game franchises; plus Link is in this game! I like using Link, Nightmare, Kilik, Mitsurugi, Maxi, and Cassandra. Best music by far in this game is Brave Sword, Braver Soul; one of my favorite music in Soul Calibur 2, is like a comeback music to me. Also, Max did you know that the voice of Link from Ocarina of Time did the voice of Nightmare in the Japanese version of the Soul Calibur games, Demitri, Joe, and Batsu to name a few?
You're not the only one, friend!!! 😊
Dude that was a crazy dodge! 15:54
Dude this was my first Soulcaliber game as a kid! IT WAS EPIC!
2 was the first game where I discovered the concept if guest characters, and as a hardcore Tekken fan back then, it blew my mind to play Heihachi in the PS2 version.
Link is just happy he's not saving princesses and get to fight random people. Just look at him in MK8 lol
I got mario kart 8 deluxe
My favorite out of the whole franchise
I still remember paying this game in the arcades in canada. people would save their profiles/characters on the machine and other people could fight them on the machine ranking systems...ah the times before the internet
I won so many SC2 tournaments with ease. At high levels, this was truly a game of skill. The best fighting game of all-time
Amen brother
I might be wrong but it seemed like one of those games where every character was viable and playable from low level to high level with a reasonable learning curve. Everything felt good enough to pick up and play, and the mechanics were systematic and well thought through. It was a fighting game that didn't centre around giant combos, the parry system felt the fairest I've seen in a FG. Far less chaos than SC6
Soul Calibur II on the Gamecube was and still is my absolute favorite!
Link was the only character I used in SC II
Dear God, Kilik's moveset. Somehow Seung Mina was always more of a pain in the ass to fight
I've been waiting so long for this
I legitimately did not notice that Calibur was actually in Inferno's head until you mentioned it here and that actually puts a bunch of the imagery and lore and whatnot in perspective. I'm a complete idiot.
Never noticed it either, and I probably fought Inferno more than a hundred times... that kinda blew my mind to be honest.
This game was my childhood, seriously miss playing it. 💜 the nostalgia is REAL.
The only one of the series I ever got the pleasure to play...and what a pleasure it was~ And not just for Link being included either! I had tons of fun playing Kilik, Nightmare, and Talim as well~
put hundreds of hours in this game as a kid. would literally just play to listen to the music. i loved Link and Nightmare so much
So many fond memories of straight bodying CPUs as *Spawn* or *Nightmare...*
I still smile so much watching any gameplay of this game. It's just so good, I'll never forget about it 🙏🙏
The sound Maxi makes while doing that flying roundhouse kick is a national treasure.
*Does that mean we're getting a Night Terror Boss Rage next?*
One can only hope
Yes it wil be and its already released on his twitch account yesterday.
That's going be fun to watch
Lets just say there was more "continues" that i have ever seen
He already did it yesterday.
Aaaaahhhhh the memories from this gem.I used to play this with my friends and my brother.We gathering to my house and play this until we live to go out.
Soul calibur 2 is the best in the series
lord jedah maybe the most memorable definitely not best
Agree! It is still the best! I remember when this came out, it was the most beautiful game in the arcade where I live...
The most nostalgic definitely, and probably the most memorable due to the guest characters, but there were games since that significantly improved the mechanics.
Spelt 3 wrong
1. Soul Calibur 2
2. Soul Calibur
3. Soul Calibur 3
And still fun to play and amazing music:
Soul Edge.
I own all 3 console versions, all 100%'ed, and still learn characters to this day.
I'm totally not addicted to this game XD
I remember playing this on xbox and having spawn. tbh I really miss the console exclusive characters. it really made your console feel special.
I remember sinking HOURS into soul calibur 2 with my friends and i learned that i sucked with link haha.
Man Kaki and Ivy really made my puberty
I bought the game back then with the few money I had as a teenager because of the pictures of Taki and Ivy in a video game magazine... And also because the game just looked beautiful in pictures.
Best decision ever, this game was perfect
Nostalgic game. My first Soul Calibur with an awesome soundtrack.
This was the game that got me into Soul Calibur.
I still got the HD version in my ps3 with heihaichi Mishima and Spawn in the game.
Damn, Talim with Double Crescents was my jam in that beauty. Been too long.
This game was HUGE when it launched. I remember, it was so far ahead of it’s time.
Anyone else wish they would bring back all the guess characters?
Man Soul Calibur 2 was my life when I was a kid.
This is my first time seeing Link gameplay. And I gotta say it is really entertaining.
I played this on the PlayStation 2 when I was younger.
Yeah, that was a Yoshimitsu unblockable at 18:42. You have to recognize the stutter/delay, sidestep once + backstep once
How did he get that title screen at the beginning with all the swords? I think I unlocked everything but I don't see that screen.
loved the mini-boss rage at the end!
Aww my one and only Soul Calibur game. Many thanks to Link for introducing me to this fighting game. I nearly forgot how much 'horsehit' Link had in his moveset lol. Also as Max deomnstrated, you can't play as Link without imitating his battle cries, haha!
one of my favorite games of all time. I keep my game cube just for this game
Soul Calibur 2 you are indeed a lot of fun and even though I could only get the PS2 version, still one of the best fighting games I've ever played.
i thought i was just really bad at fighting games since my usual arcade mode ends up going well up until the final boos and then i waste a shitload of time trying to bit that one guy..but this series of videos from max shown me that this is apparently the norm
loved that the voice of Link also voiced Ikkaku in Bleach
I swear Link in the intro of SC2 inspired the one scene in Subspace Emissary where he got his Master Sword.
My first ever fighting game. Such fantastic memories.
I still think SC3 is my personal favourite, massive amounts of single player content and unlocks, Rock, Li Long and Hwang returned. Introduction of Tira (my current day fav character) and Zasalamel. Arcade mode had an sense of epicness and every character sounded and looked really good. Not too mention the introduction of character creation.
Yeah for me a perfect SC game would combine SC3's level of content with SC2's presentation and gameplay.
I hope that they will add a dungeon like mode into SC6 like this one had, was fun going through all kinds of battles with different modifiers and situations. Also, different weapons with backstories would be a great addition as well.
I was way too young to TRULY appreciate what this game was. I bought it because Link was in it and I’m still mind blown at how well he fit into this game, Nintendo f*cking delivered 🏆.
Gamecube version it is, then :V
It's really the only version you need to play
I do like though that literally all of Link's Extra weapons is gear he's gotten up to Majora's Mask
The Razor Sword was the half-finished result of a subquest in Snowhead you got from the blacksmiths in Snowhead. It's basically the Giant's Knife of Majora's Mask in that it's slightly stronger than your Kokiri Sword, but after a little while, the weapon breaks
The Armos Series...Link never even got that. Those arms belong to the Armos statues you would run into in some games, specifically the ones in Ocarina of Time and even then, they never actually used them. They just bumped into you.
The Megaton Hammer was the temple item of the Fire Temple. A nice substitute for the Master Sword, but short ranged and far too slow to ever use seriously
Cane of Byrna was an item from A Link to the Past which you got on the second half of the game. Granted you temporary invincibility, if I recall.
Mirror Shield's appearance technically dates back to A Link to the Past, but its more famous depiction from OoT is used here. Was one of *two* temple items you got from the Spirit Temple, this the one you get as an adult
Magic Sword and Shield was basically the proto Master Sword and Hylian Shield from the very first game. Strongest arms in the game, though the shield looks nothing like it did
Biggoron's Sword was the end result of the longest sidequest of Ocarina of Time, but it was worth it as it was the most powerful melee weapon in the game, even moreso than the Master Sword, _and_ it doesn't break. Too bad you can't guard with it
Great Fairy Sword is the reward you get for rescuing all of the Stray Fairies in Stone Temple in Majora's Mask. It was basically the Biggoron's Sword for that game, except it was a C-Item, for some reason
Bug Catching Nat was an item a sick boy lent to you in A Link to the Past. You could use it to catch bugs and fairies so you could put them in bottles for later use.
Na , xbox with spawn . Pure perfection.
PS2 gets Heihachi which is pretty interesting and cool
Kaihedgie i actually didn't enjoy Link, so no. the GameCube version is not the only version you should play. :V
@@FatMouseGaming I know right . I played all 3 versions.
+Rico Anderson
It's pretty meh compared to the others they brought. Yoshimitsu was already in SC1, so putting Heihachi in seems so mundane compared to the others
Narrator: Soul Calibur 2!!!
Person: YoU MeAn ThE oNe WiTh LiNk iN It???
Narrator: Uuuh, sure I suppose.
I love this game so much! I wish to god that I still had my copy.
Oh god the memories 😭😭
That game was awesome. I loved to play with Spawn.
One of the greatest fighting games of all time.
Ok can anyone tell me the song in the intro and where to find it so I can listen to it non stop when practicing stuff in SC6?
Almost cried seeing this game it was like the best soul calibur cant wait to see if the new one will be better then this
Since when does SC2 have weapon descriptions in the character select screen? All I see on my version (PAL) is symbols describing their effects, and it says nothing about the penultimate weapon (weild it to discover its true power).
It's always had that. Unless you're playin' the HD version, it seems
I'm not. GC, as always, because HD doesn't have Link.
Undoubtedly THE BEST Soul Calibur game in it's history! Link def made this game so much fun!
Best fighting game ever, so underrated and unfortunately even namco has neglected its own franchise, if only they had a good story mody like tekken, didn't cut half the moveset of every character and gave a good budget to the project, all i can do is hope sc7 makes a good return.
damn remember playing as Spawn had all the axes to
Speaking of costumes, Cervantes' alt from SC1 is underrated as hell
Man I used to play the GC version to death back then.
My favorite characters where Necrid and Kilik.
Soul Calibur II was the only game in the series I bought multiple versions of I bought a copy for each of the 3 consoles.
21 years after release, Soul Calibur II still is a legendary weapon based fighting game like the original one.
