Soulcalibur: Ten Years Later....

[Mitsurules]

September 9, 1999.

This is the date that the Sega Dreamcast is released, and along with it the release of one of the most iconic fighting games to ever be created:

That's right, this is the ten year anniversary of the original Soulcalibur! This thread will be dedicated to the game that launched the series into super stardom. I want to know what all of you think of this game. I want to hear your experiences of the game. Whether they were humorous, frustrating or memorable.

Okay guys, get to it! And here's to another 10 years of Soulcalibur! Happy Anniversary SC!

Before I begin:
Are we going to do the "10th anniversary" of SC2 in a few years also? Because...Well...Ya know...This is basically just like doing that.
Because SoulCalibur isn't the first game, SoulEdge(SoulBlade US) is. >_>

My god...I've been a fan of the Soul series...for this long?

My Mother's Regret throughout the Series: Loss of Hwang&Necrid.
Sister's Regret throughout the Series: Complete remakes of Seung Mina and Xianghua each game.
Father's Regret throughout the Series: His family plays too cutthroat. D:
My Regret throughout the Series: Loss of Inferno, Charade, and Soul Calibur 4 almost as a whole. Also annoyed that only ONE character has DIED throughout the ENTIRE series and that's Li Long(Interestingly, he gets noted in one of the Soul Calibur Broken Destiny Guides. "I never run from my opponent's attacks!" we never heard from the double nunchuck user again.)
Oh yeah: And Algol.

Favourite Game: SC3
Least Favourite Game: SC2...or 4? Damn it's a close call, but 2 was worse.
Most beloved Character: Siegfried.
Best Character: Seung Mina.
Worst Character: Kratos(Gonna take some time to learn).


BIGGEST RAGE MOMENT: The cutting of 11 weapon styles from SC3 to SC4(Rapier went to amy, so it doesn't count. Likewise Nunchuk wasn't unique at all, nor the Chinese Sword really).
Biggest Lulz Moment: Maxi = Goku. He has an alternate form with Blonde hair, and NEVER STAYS DEAD.
