No. Soul Calibur 2 on the GC is much better.

A lot of fighting games were overrated as fuck in fifth gen, No idea why, though part of the reason was definitely Sega moneyhatting

GC version of 2 sucks due to the controller.

What? The controller is perfect for it.

I could just be biased towards GC version due to me having played it since I was a kid, but having played SC1, 2, and 6 on a couple of different pads and my Fightstick, the GC controller still feels surprisingly nice for it.
It feels so much more natural than stuff like CVS2 which just feels awful due to GC not having a good Dpad, and the button layout feeling bizarre for a 2D fighting game

Soul Calibur on Dreamcast is pretty great

but I prefer Soul Calibur II more.

If you were lucky enough to be alive and picked up a Dreamcast on 9.9.99 your mind was blown how good it was.

its nowhere near even the best fighting game ever. its a good game but it was over hyped because the dreamcast library was lacking.

Right time and right place to get those scores. Soul Calibur is a series that has always been entertaining, but there is a shred of truth in what >>9383176 says. The accessibility of this game is maybe just a notch above Smash Bros, which is likely a driving factor in why so many publications view it favorably.

Ignore the above. Everyone on this board is a frothing-at-the-mouth demented cultist, so you're arguably a whole lot worse than any paid up shill chode.

Try pressing B and X togheter you retard. It's impossible. While on xbox or ps2 pressing square/X and circle/B is easy. This is a basic combination that all fighters use and can't be done on a GC pad.
