<div class="IPBDescription">Looking for Soul Calibur.</div> Well, with my job at Gamestop, we finally got a used Dreamcast coming in... 2 days after the cut-off date for trading in DC equipment... however, I made my claim anyway and will be getting it tomorrow.
My reason for getting an old console is simple. The original Soul Calibur. But unfortunately, the collection of games included with this one does not include said game. I'm looking online, but I thought I might see here if anyone has a copy they'd be willing to sell for cheap or even possibly donate.
My friends and I are just looking for some nostalgia for our massive SC marathons from a few years ago, so we'd love your help. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
[EDIT:] I've found some new and used ones online, but the new ones so far are ridiculously expensive. Used seems to be no lower than 16, but if anyone has a copy they'd be willing to give up for less, let me know. I'm already **** off my fiancee by using this money on a console instead of her engagement ring (which she gets in 2 days anyway <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->), so cheap or free = good <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Like hand made cat ears?
Yeah, probably. There are a few nuts online who are giving it up, though, so you never know. Worth a shot. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Well, it's on layaway and I'm picking it up tomorrow and giving it to her Friday. But she doesn't know that, so she still of course freaks out whenever I spend money <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> hehe.
I wasn't a huge DC fan myself, either, but the many hours spent playing Soul Calibur on it.... mmmm... Good times.
Let's be honest, if you want the game that badly, then just buy one of those expensive copies you've seen and enjoy it. Like paying £45 for a Sam & Max comic - may seem nuts to some, but if you enjoy it, so what?
Nevermind all that anyway - if you've got a Dreamcast, why aren't you hunting down Shenmue? Best adventure ever.
Still, if you must proceed, get Powerstone 1 or 2 as well; they make excellent multiplayer games.

Soul Calibur is only slightly less awesome than that, but still they are both quite awesome.
I actually just found a decent one on Ebay for a decent price from a decent rated seller, so I tossed in a bid for that. We'll see what happens. Lasts for another day, but I still may not win, of course <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Just make sure you snap up Powerstone and Shenmue, such excellent stuff.
My favorites from SC:
Siegfried for the 10-second sorry-did-you-want-to-play-again? win
Cervantes for the oh-where-did-half-your-life-bar-go? win
Astaroth for the slow, painful, oops-was-that-your-spine? win
<!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I don't own SC2, so I haven't had a chance to really find my character of choice. Nightmare's pretty similar to his SC incarnation, but I was always disappointed that he lacked a few key moves of Siegfried's (and he's lost even more in SC2 - it makes him less overwhelmingly dangerous, I suppose, but therefore less effective). Cervantes is also similar, but a few of his key moves (especially his ground-strike staggering move) have been utterly nerfed, and his timing has changed significantly. I have been having a lot of fun with Link, though. (:
gimme a bf1942 cd key and well call it even <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Yes, Seigfried was the man.
The best way to win though was always the Maxi I-Didn't-Even-Know-What-The-Hell-I-Was-Doing-But-You're-Stil-Dead.

You can replace "Maxi" with "Kilik" and it still rings true.
B+Y > X > Y = Flying opponent - who you can slash on the way down.
...then it's just some backwards flips and some slashes, and maybe a gaia kick to their doom. Never lost with either. Of course, you could be Maxi and just press 3 buttons and fling around your 'chuks for a while...but your opponent can pretty much just go around your side.
Cervantes is the only opponent my friends have come close to beating me with (if I'm Sophitia, Lizardman is slightly slower, so he's a bit harder, think I've lost once or twice with him).
Of course, in survival, I've got Siegfried (or maybe Nightmare) on top with 60 kills, and Sophitia with 49.
...or maybe it was 75 and 59....bah, can't remember, haven't played it in awhile.
(it's at home, and I'm not)
....so....err.....no...you can't have my SC <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> .

Be glad your DC still works. I treated mine like a God and it still is broken. It tells me to insert the disc after about 5-10 minutes of play.
I hope you got Skies of Arcadia for your Dreamcast. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

also, grats to you, Squirrel-mon!
That said, I have a Spectrum 128k +2 that still works, an Atari Jaguar that still works, and a fully functional Dreamcast with *rubrub* Soul Calibur.
I don't see myself parting with any, and they all work perfectly. GL with yours!
Well then your brother isn't using her right...
I love SC and SC2, too bad I would kill before give them up.
Anyhow, yeah, Coil, I went to a website where it talked about top competitions worldwide for SC2, and Ivy is a "top teir" charecter for sure it says.
My favorite charecter is Rapheal. While he isn't a "top teir" charecter, he is on the other hand... just perfect for my playstyle. Class, Elegance, and Rapheal can beat <i>anyone</i> if you can predict correctly of their next move.
I played the geeks at my school at SC2, and none of them could come close to beating me... and they call themselves video game geeks, sad.
My brother is <b>very</b> good at SC2, man we have probably sunk 100+ hours into that game just playing each other.
It is indeed good times. Soul Caliber for t3h w1n.
