www.SoulCalibur.com: For some of the info I didn't feel like finding out
myself such as the moves for the 8Way Runs; note, if you read through, the
runs are just moves that say, "Hold Forward, A+B". All They did was give me
an idea of what moves went in there. Even though I could have found it out
myself, I didnt feel like it because my neck is killing me, all that turning
my head left at the Tv, then back at the monitor hunders of times...
Soul Calibur 2: For providing 99% of everything I needed to make this FAQ.
GamwFAQs.com for taking there time and all that other good stuff people
don't realize is hard (managing millions of FAQs)
=== Why? ===
Why Not? All the other Rahpael Faqs have to much mumbo jumbo. Plus what better
way to learn all the moves? Write an FAQ and organize it.
=== Notes ===
Don't plan on being Raphael unless you plan to train with him alot. Raphael
is famous (sometimes called cheap) becuase of his speed. Although Raphael
doesn't have but only one unblockable move, and his attacks are slightly
more weak than many other characters, but he is whicked fast and has plenty
of evasion moves and guard impact moves. Sadly to say, Raphael doesn't have
any guard breaks so you'll have to catch your opponant of guard. Enough
Jibba Jabba. Here is the good stuff.

=== Profile ===
Name: Raphael Sorel
Age: 32
Birthplace: France Empire/Rouen
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 159 lbs.
Birth Date: November 27
Blood Type: A
Weapon: English Sword Rapier
Weapon Name: Flambert
Discipline: La Rapiere des Sorel
Family: Foster daughter/Amy
Relatives/Cut all ties
Raphael, the young master of the Sorel family, grew up with the rapier
and medicine as his playmates. His cool, unemotional demeanor created
many enemies, but his quick and precise decision-making and excution
skills solidified the foundation of his family amongest the nobles.
Unfortunately, Raphael was cast out one day when he made a critical
mistake.
Raphael hid himself in an impoverished town to escape from his
pursuers. There he met a little girl named Amy, who hid the weakened
Raphael from his enemies. For the little girl, helping Raphael was only
a simple deed motivated out of spite for the soldiers. For Raphael,
however, it marked the first time he owed his life to someone else. He
felt emtions that he had never experienced before, and Amy became an
irreplaceable presence in Raphael's life.
Convinced that the chaos of the war was no place to live a meaningful
life. Raphael took Amy and left the poverty--stricken town. But even
with the new surroundings, he could not get Amy to open her heart to the
world.
One day, in the library of the mansion he acquired under dark
pretenses, Raphael found a letter with references to the Evil Seed. It
wasn't long before he made the connection between Evil Seed and Soul
Edge.
What if such a sword were thrust into the hands of the pathetic
nobles? It would all be worth it if the petty, war-mongering nobles
could be eliminated to secure a meaningful future for Amy. But in order
to accomplish his goal, Raphael needed Soul Edge; he was determined to
obtain the sword by any means necessary.
A grand, insane plan was brewing in his mind--all for the sake of a
young girl.
=== Stage ===
Stage: South France Mansion/Library
Background Music: No Turning Back
The master of this domicile is no longer alive. The rich lord that lived here
was poisoned, and the man who lived here since left this place recently.
Other than the wing where the servants and the child that the man brought
reside, this mansion is in desolate silence. It is said that the man did not
come out of this library until the day he left on his journey. Surprisingly,
there are no traces on the bookshelves or anywhere else in the room that give a
clue to what the man was doing in this place.
The silent mansion awaits the return of its master... or the visitor.
