Title: Soul Calibur 2
Genre: Fighting (Action)

Published By: Namco&Nintendo(GC), Electronic Arts(PS2 and Xbox)


------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 3. Introduction
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my 2nd FAQ, I hope you'll enjoy it.

*Why a Lizardman's FAQ?
The reason why I wrote this FAQ was that Lizardman was my on of my
favourite characters on Soul Calibur I(Dreamcast). Sadfully, in Soul
Calibur II he is only a secondary character. By the way, his command list
isn't available in the game, so I'm going to solve it with this guide.

*Is Lizardman(SCII) Lizardman(SCI)?
Who knows... Well, his appearance has changed. The old Lizardman was
more human and SCII's Lizardman is more animal, and Lizardman wasn't
unique so the new Lizardman could be one of his relatives.
(For more information see section 4)

*Could I use Lizardman everywhere in the game?
:'( Lizardman is only available in Team Battle Mode, Versus Mode, Practice
Mode, Extra Team Battle Mode, Extra Versus Mode and Extra Practice mode.

*Then, why should I play with Lizardman?
Lizardman's fighting style was inspired on Sophitia's(SCI) style, but
his strength and speed are higher. He's a mid-range fighter, with some
powerful and easy performable combos. His ability to ring out his rivals
is remarkable, which is vital in many combats. Sophitia(SCII) and
Cassandra, they both share many moves with Lizardman, so playing with him
could help you to use them.
(See section 6 for more details)
Furthermore, he has 6 outfits. In fact there are only 2 but you can
changed the colours of them.

Outfit one:
-----------
Lizardman looks like a lizard. =)
Type A) Green skinned with red spots, his shield is white and the shape
    is similar to the Cassandra's 2nd outfit shield.
Type B) Blue skinned with red spots, his shield is brown and the shape
    is similar to the Cassandra's 2nd outfit shield.
Type C) Red skinned with yellow spots, his shield is white and the shape
    is similar to the Cassandra's 2nd outfit shield.

Outfit two:
-----------
Lizardman looks like a dinosaur.
Type A) Brown skinned but the skin over his head and back is silver and
    his spikes on the back are red. His has a nearly rounded red shield.
Type B) Red skinned but the skin over his head and back is grey and his
    spikes on the back are blue. His has a nearly rounded blue shield.
Type C) Beige skinned but the skin over his head and back is cobalt and
    his spikes on the back are orange. His has a nearly rounded orange
    shield.

* 4. Character Profile
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This section of this document has been taken from Vega's web
(http://vega78.tripod.com/), whose web contains excellent bios of
several fighters of the greatest fighting games: Soul Calibur, Street
Fighter and Mortal Kombat.

Weapon's Name:   Gyulkus Sword and Shield
Style:           Rapid Ares style
Age in Years:    3
Date of Birth:   Unknown
Family:          Unknown.  There are many similar creatures

In his worries over the demonic blade called Soul Edge, Hephaestus,
Greek god of the forge, gave many mortals sacred oracles and ordered
them to destroy the blade. A total of twenty-four were chosen, one for
each letter in the Greek alphabet. They came from all walks of life,
from the captain of the royal knights to the daughter of a baker. Yet
each were pious and could hear the voices of the gods. One of the chosen
was a man named Aeon Calcos. Born in Sparta under the occupation of the
Ottoman Empire, Calcos was a powerful knight gifted in the art of
swordplay. Once he received the oracle from Hephaestus he wandered the
earth in search of the evil Soul Edge.

One day he was wandering in a vast desert. His sight was fading and his
mouth had been parched by the heat and the harsh sands. He cried out to
Ares, god of war, as his remaining senses began to fade. He awoke
sometime later and found himself lying on a bed in a dim room. He
learned that a man from an oasis village had found him buried in the
sands and had saved him from death. The village was frequently ravaged
by looters, so Calcos chose to repay the man's kindness by teaching the
villagers to defend themselves. However, after only one week, the Evil
Seed that had been released from the Soul Edge in Spain rained down on
the village and showered it's people with pure evil. In that moment,
Aeon Calcos was transformed into a berserk monster and he proceeded to
massacre the entire village.

Months passed, and a caravan crossing the desert brought back stories
of an oasis that had been drenched in blood and gripped by terror. Many
caravans had been lost since the night the Evil Seed rained down on
humanity. The rumour spread throughout the land and eventually reached
the ears of Kunpaetku, Grand Priest of the dark order Fygul Cestemus
whose shrine lay hidden deep within the earth. Kunpaetku had plans for
the creature who had caused this chaos, and sent out his henchmen to
capture Aeon. The monster was bound to a huge boulder with several thick
chains, but still violently resisted as he was taken back to the Palgaea
shrine. Pleased with his acquisition, Kunpaetku ordered Calcos to be
taken to the inner shrine where an experiment would be performed on
Calcos. Days passed and the ritual was completed; What had once been
Aeon Calcos had been born anew. His limbs were given immense power, his
body was covered in scales, a reptile's tail hung behind him and his
head was now that of a lizard's. The madness and the ritual had wiped
Calcos' memory, but his body remembered how to fight. Kunpaektu, pleased
with the results, decided to educate his creation thoroughly, and thus
the once sacred warrior was transformed into a strong and loyal slave of
the Grand Priest.

When he had been sufficiently trained, the Grand Priest ordered
Lizardman to search for the demonic sword Soul Edge. And so, after three
years of living in the shadows, Lizardman emerged from the bowels of the
earth and appeared at the port of India. It was there that he, along
with the giant Astaroth and the Grand Priest's army, attacked a warrior
who possessed a weapon of great power. The warrior, Kilik held his
ground against the demonic horde, but the rest of the people on the ship
were slaughtered. The battle was joined by the ship's captain, Nightmare,
who did possess Soul Edge. Realizing that they could not defeat Nightmare
until the time was right, Lizardman and Astaroth offered their services
to the possessed warrior to prepare for the time when they could take the
sword. They served as Nightmare's right-hand men, and carried out the
mass executions that delivered the souls to power Soul Edge.

* 5.  Move List
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I took this move list from a *.xcl file from Soul Calibur for
Dreamcast and I tried all the moves that appear there. Some have
disappeared, some have been modified and some are 'new'. Well, they're
not new but I don't now their name so I renamed them with my name =).

any damage, but it gives you the chance to hit him or to perform a
combo.

!!NEW!!: this moves aren't really new, I just don't know their name
mOdIfIeD: this moves have been modified from Soul Calibur I. Their
         damage, number of hits or their execution has changed.

This is the way I'll display the moves:

REFRAIN EDGE

The name is Refrain Edge, you should tap button A 2 times and your
rival will receive 2 High hits of 13 and 16 damage respectively.

II. MOVE LIST
=============

The damage which appears in this FAQ is all at 100%. What does it mean?
That if you hit your opponent from far, the hit won't impact him
completely and the damage could decrease to 70%. And if you use a Soul
Charge then the effectiveness raises to 120% or more. Sometimes after
using the same move many times its effectiveness rises to 105% or 110%
without executing a Soul Charge.

III. Lizardman's Glitch (extracted from www.soulcalibur.com forums)
=======================

While the 214B+K throw is animating, if you mash on 2_3_6A+G_B+G you will
execute the first part of 214B+K then half way through RE THROW THEM. This
results in the 214 B+K throw dealling 95 points of damage.

Frankly, I find it quite difficult to execute it(it took me 2 hours
training until I did it). By the way, if you master it and use it
constantly, then Lizzy will be totally broken, it's your decission.

* 6. Strategies & Combos
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This section is so poor right now, but I hope it will grow quickly.

To be honest my gameplay is quite tricky. I prefer winning in 4 seconds
than losing in a dreadful 50 seconds battle, specially against AI. 'Only
winners are remembered'. Assuming that, let's go.

I. Strategies
=============

*****Strategy 1*****
Objective: Throw your enemy out of the ring.
Explanation: when your opponent is near the border of the ring execute
any of the following moves:
f f+A+B       HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
f f+K         HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
d df f+B      RECOMMENDED
b b+K         RECOMMENDED
d df f K K K  RECOMMENDED
ub K          RECOMMENDED
8WR db_ub+A [A]
b+A A A
b+A B
b b+B
There're more but the first 6 are quite useful and easy to perform

*****Strategy 2*****
Objective: One move, many possibilities
Explanation: my favourite moves are those which can be used in many
different situations. df+A+B is the one for Lizardman, Sophitia and
Cassandra. With it you can hit your opponent when he/she is stand up
or on the ground and can throw him out of the ring also. It's easy to
win many matches with it, practice with the timing to master it.

*****Strategy 3*****
Objective: Hit the opponent on the ground
Explanation: this kind of move don't take many damage, but many of
them could mean the difference between winning or losing. So use it as
much as you can. In this category I will recommend these:
(ordered by the damage taken)
db+[K]        46   RECOMMENDED, slightly slow
u+[A+B]       45   REEEEALLY slow
u u+B+K       32
B~d B B B B   28   Maybe too slow to perform it and too many hits
df+B          25   HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
db+A          20   RECOMMENDED
db+B          14
df+A+B        11

There are much more, but these are which I use most.

II. Combos
==========

Lizardman's ability to elevate his opponent to the air gives him an
ideal chance to create many combos.

*****Combo Type 1*****
8WR df+B  elevates your opponent very high, it gives you the chance to
hit him many times. I recommend B hits, because they allow you to hit
your opponent more times than with A, don't forget to hit him on the
ground also. The timing is crucial, practice a lot to master it.
Damage: it's a really creative combo, it depends on your ability

*****Combo Type 2*****
df+B elevates your opponent on the air, so take advantage of it. Remember
that aerial hits lose their effectiveness. First aerial hit 70%, 2nd 60%,
3rd 50%, 4th and more decreases to 45%.

df+B A A A A       32+9+10+6+7=64  If opponent air recovers, then it misses
df+B A A B B       32+9+10+8+11=70 If opponent air recovers, then it misses
df+B [b]+B [b]+B...   32+22+19+15+...=88 or more         If opponent air
                  recovers, then it misses. Maybe his best combo.
df+B df+B          32+22=54
df+B d df f+A A    32+26+24=82
df+B d df f+B      32+35=67
df+B uf+K K        32+17+21=70
df+B ub+B+K        32+35=67

*****Combo Type 3*****
f f+B or 8WR f is similar to df+B, more powerful but it throws your opponent
farder and higher, which means an extra afford to perform the combo.

f f+B A A A A       36+9+10+6+7=68  If opponent air recovers, it misses
f f+B A A B B       36+9+10+8+11=74 If opponent air recovers, it misses
f f+B d df f+A A    36+26+24=86
f f+B b+A A A       36+17+18+20=90 more or less    EXTREMELY DIFFICULT the
                   timing is crucial
f f+B f f+B         36+26=62
f f+B uf+K K        36+17+28=71
f f+B uf+A d df f+A A  36+23+22+21=106   If air control, the last hit misses
In the following 2 combos, after f f+B you should advance one step to
approximate to your opponent and continue the combo properly.
f f+B STEP [b]+B [b]+B...   36+22+19+15+...=92 or more    if opponent air
                         recovers, then it misses. Maybe his best combo.
f f+B STEP d df f+B      36+35=71

*****Combo Type 4*****
This combo doesn't work quite often, but if it does is shattering.
[b]+B d df f+A A   31+37+40=108
[b]+B d df f+B     31+50=81

*****Various Combos*****
-df df+B A+B              36+11+18=65
-A+B df+B                 16+30+25=71
-df+A+B d df f+A A        23+35+26+24=108
-df+A+B d df f+B          23+35+35=93

III. Lizardman & Soul Charge
============================

*What's Soul Charge?
Soul Charge is a state in which your character damages more your enemy
and some moves become Unblockable or Guard Break.

*How can I perform a Soul Charge?
Press A+B+K, C-stick up or button Z. The longer you press it the higher
level you get.
Level 1: Lime Green     Damage:100%
Level 2: Green          Damage:115%
Level 3: Blue           Damage:140%

/////Unblockable Moves\\\\\
SC3 u+A+B (no motion delay needed)   49
SC3 f f+A+B                          59
SC3 8WR df_uf+[B]                    56(42+14)    This is like Combo Type1,
                                           so take a look at section 6.II.
SC3 8WR d_u+[B]                      67
SC3 8WR (any direction)+B+K          60

/////Guard Break Moves\\\\\
These are as useful as the unblockable moves or more, because you can
connect combos with them. This is for experimented players, so don't
try them until you feel confident on your gameplay.
The main difficulty is that you should perform them the nearer
to your opponent as you can, because after executing the GB your opponent
will be pushed one step backward.
Ok, and what? It means that once you begin any of the combos displayed
above, it's possible that some moves don't impact him. So I'll tell you
which fit better in any case.

SC3 f f+B
---------
df+B A A A A
df+B A A B B
df+B [b]+B [b]+B...
df+B df+B
df+B d df f+A A     RECOMMENDED
df+B d df f+B       RECOMMENDED
df+B uf+K K         RECOMMENDED

SC3 8WR f+B
-----------
The same that SC3 f f+B

SC1 or SC2 u+A+B (no motion delay needed) and SC3 K~[B]
-------------------------------------------------------
These Soul Charge moves GB your opponent, but they're pretty slow and
very difficult to connect with any combo. If I found any, I would post them.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 7. How to get Lizardman
------------------------------------------------------------------------

You must complete WMM, what is to say, complete ALL missions. Most
people doesn't have Sub-Chapter 2 in Weapon Master Mode. Where is
Sub-Chapter 2? It's over Chapter 4(see map), and you can only access
there when you had level 76(Platinum Edgemaster) or higher, which means
380000EXP points. When you have this level go to mission 4-3 and beat it,
Sub-Chapter 2 should be unlocked. So you won't be able to unlock
Lizardman until you nearly complete Weapon Master Mode.
