IMPORTANT - BEFORE E-MAILING ME: Please please PLEASE run a Virus Scanner
on your computer. During the latter half of 2003, very soon after I
received a batch of SCII e-mailings, someone (probably in that batch)
began spamming me (repeatedly) with an e-mail Virus. If you cannot afford
a Virus Scanner, at the very least, download and run the latest version of
McAfee's free "Stinger" utility (or any other trustworthy free utility
that does the same thing), which will get rid of a good number of the most
common Viruses out there. Your friends will thank you.

I.1 What is this document?
This document is an English language informational resource for the
PlayStation2 version of SoulCalibur II (SCII), a weapons-based 3D fighting
game by Namco.
In this document, I'll be covering codes, secrets, details,
clarifications, and other such information which may be of interest to
SCII fans. This is a Secrets FAQ (side note: I'm using "faq" herein with
its more colloquial definition of "document of organized information",
rather than its more traditional definition, which implies organizational
headings in the form of questions...), and not a moves list or strategy
guide, btw, so I won't be including any complete moves/combo lists, or
detailed character strategies, or anything like that in this document...
This document was written for the J version of the PS2 SCII, but it
seems likely that at least some of the information contained herein may
apply to other versions of the game as well...
SoulCalibur II (PS2, J) basic info:
1 DVD ROM Disc (SLPS-25230)
1-2 Players
Works with: PlayStation2 8MB Memory Card (137 KB)
6800 (y)en
U/C note: I've also gathered data from the XB U/C (United States /
Canada) and GC U/C versions of the game. Supplementary information in
regards to the U/C version of SCII has been added to sections of this
document. Such notes about the U/C version will be preceded by the phrase
"U/C note" or "U/C notes".
XB note: Supplementary information in regards to the XB (U/C) version
of SCII will be preceded by the phrase "XB note" or "XB notes".
GC note: Supplementary information in regards to the GC (U/C) version
of SCII will be preceded by the phrase "GC note" or "GC notes".
I.2 What is SoulCalibur II?
SoulCalibur II (SCII) is a weapons-based 3D fighting game by Namco.
It's the sequel to SoulCalibur (SCalibur), which is the sequel to SoulEdge
(SE). The SCII story takes place four years after SCalibur.
(Side note on Nightmare's age: Although Nightmare's age is listed as
"Unknown", being that Siegfried was 19 in SCalibur, he's probably 23 in
SCII (unless the SoulEdge stopped his aging, like it (presumably) did for
Cervantes)).
What's new in SCII gameplay (compared to SCalibur):
The Guard Impact technique has been made simpler, but less versatile.
Instead of a choice of Repelling or Parrying any attack, now all High and
Mid attacks are Guard Impacted with Repels (f+G), and all Low attacks are
Guard Impacted with Parries (b+G).
Some arenas now have walls as partial or total borders. A wall can
cause damage to a character that is knocked into it.
Wall impact quick recovery (kabe-ukemi). Much like a ground impact
ukemi (press G (or be holding G) upon ground impact for a quick recovery),
a wall impact ukemi can be used to recover quickly from wall impact stun.
After being knocked into a wall, press f to roll towards your opponent,
press d to roll towards the foreground, or press u to roll towards the
background. Note: This can also be done for high wall impacts (i.e. when
your feet are not touching the ground).
Wall jumps and wall jump attacks. After jumping (backward) into a
wall (ub+G / G(ub) / ub(G)), hold the jump command (hold G and hold ub) or
execute another jump command (any direction (u/uf/ub) jump) as you hit the
wall, and you'll execute a wall jump. Press an attack button during a
wall jump, and you'll execute a wall jump attack (some of which are
different from their normal jump attack equivalents).
Special wall jumps. With some special moves, you can bounce off a
wall, either by holding the attack button(s) used to execute the move, or
by pressing the button(s) again as you hit the wall. Some examples:
Cervantes' d,db,b,B, Taki's A+B, Talim's f+B+K... Side note: Necrid's
f+B+K and d,db,b,B do not have wall bounce properties...
Special wall-assisted flip-jumps. Some characters can utilize a wall
to perform a backflip or forward flip. Consult the wall flip section
(Miscellany) of this document for more information.
8-way running is easier, but crouching is more difficult. The d, db,
and df directions now immediately (no double-tap necessary) initiate 8-way
run (8WR). Use G(d/db/df) to initiate a crouch instead.
You can move while Soul Charging (A+B+K) now, but Soul Charge
unblockables take longer to prepare.
All characters can creep forward and backward while Guarding (when
standing).
A maximum distance between opponents has been implemented. If you
try to move further away from your opponent than the maximum distance, the
screen edge will slowly "drag" your opponent with you.
There are some other new things as well, but those are the major
differences...
What's new in the PS2 version of SCII (compared to the arcade version):
Two new characters: Necrid (a Dural-like "composite style" character)
and Heihachi (from the Tekken series). In the GC version of the game,
Heihachi has been replaced with Link (from the Zelda series); and in the
XB version, he has been replaced with Spawn (from the Image comic of the
same name).
Two returning SoulCalibur characters: Seung Mina and Sophitia can
both be unlocked as playable!
More weapons! Similar to the weapons earned in the PSX SE Edge
Master Mode, the weapons earned/purchased in the SCII Weapon Master Mode
(WMM) actually have varying stats, effects, and/or abilities! Special
weapons can be used in the "Extra" version of any mode, as well as in
Museum modes and Weapon Master Mode itself.
No Conquest Mode: Conquest Mode is apparently an arcade-version
exclusive.
Again, there are some other new things as well, but those are the
major differences...
U/C notes:
What's new in the U/C home version of SCII (compared to the J version):
English or Japanese voice is selectable via Sound Settings.
English Subtitle option in Game Settings.
Assassin, Berserker, and Lizardman are unlockable via WMM, but will
only be selectable in (Original and Extra) VS, Team, and Practice modes,
and Battle Theater. They don't seem to have W2-W11s, but they do have 6
costumes each (2 costumes, with 3 color variations each). Also, they
don't seem to have game-internal Command Lists. =/
More Weapons can be unlocked instead of purchased: Some squares in
Dungeon missions will unlock specific Weapons.
Some weapons have slightly different stats/properties, compared to
their J version equivalents. Most (but not all) of these changes actually
improve the weapon (for the wielder).
Most of the WMM rankings have been renamed for no obvious reason.
Also, a new ranking has been added between Lv.29 and Lv.30 (the J version
skipped from Silver to Platinum, so a Gold ranking was inserted), and the
first Grand Edgemaster ranking (Wolf) appears to have been removed. Due
to Lv.31-76 being displaced by 1, an extra 20000 Exp will be necessary
before one can unlock WMM Subchapter 2...
WMM exits back to the World Map (this can't be disabled or
interrupted, as far as I know) every time a new Chapter is unlocked.
Overall, the difficulty of CPU opponents (in all modes of the game)
seems to have been increased; opponents seem to use defensive tactics
(such as Guard, Guard Impact, Sidestep, and Throw Escape) more frequently
(even in Easy difficulty). This makes a number of WMM missions (4-3e and
E2-1e, for example) a lot more challenging than before. And makes Time
Attack Extreme and Extra TAE that much more difficult to complete...
Stage 14 variations have special properties in Extra VS Battle and
Extra VS Team Battle. In those two modes, the variations will be marked
with "Sand", "Fire", and "Ice" on the stage select screen. The "Sand"
variation will have a pool of quicksand (if one stands still, one sinks
into it and becomes slower), the "Fire" variation will have a ring of
molten lava (standing on it for too long will cause one to burst into
flames and take damage), and the "Ice" variation will have a slippery
surface (one tends to keep moving in one's direction of travel, even after
one has stopped). As far as I know, there is no way to select these
special properties in any other mode with stage selection, nor is there
any way to select the mundane versions in Extra VS and/or Extra VS Team
modes.
Significantly more Gold is earned from non-WMM modes.
Attract mode high score listings scroll significantly faster.
Once again, there are some other new things as well, but those are
the major differences...
EU notes:
What's new in the EU home version of SCII (compared to the U/C version):
From what I've been told, the EU version of SCII is pretty much just
a PAL conversion of the NTSC U/C version (i.e. nothing significant has
been added, removed, or changed).
Uncomfirmed: The EU version of SCII gives you slightly more
information about some (but not all) of the special weapons (W2-W11).
I.3 Notation and stuff
In order to stave off any potential confusion, here follow some of
the standards of notation I'll be using in this document...
G Guard (defaults to X)
A Horizontal attack (defaults to [square])
B Vertical attack (defaults to [triangle])
K Kick attack (defaults to O)
u/d/l/r up, down, left, and right (respectively) on the
d-pad/stick
+ at the same time as
, then
= a quick "then" that links commands yielding a single
action
/ or
x(y) press y while holding x
[x] hold x
P1 Player 1: the player assigned to start on the left side;
the default outfit for a P1 side character.
P2 Player 2: the player assigned to start on the right
side; the default outfit for a P2 side character.
P3 A character's third outfit.
W1-W11 Weapon 1 through Weapon 11.
J Japan version (of SCII)
U/C United States / Canada version (of SCII)
EU Europe (PAL) version (of SCII)
In denoting d-pad positions and movements, I'll also be using the
following notation:
n neutral Here's a visual chart:
u up
d down u u
f forward ub uf uf ub
b back b n f f n b
df down-forward db df df db
db down-back d d
uf up-forward
ub up-back (facing right) (facing left)
On numbering weapons:
To specify weapons, I'll note character and weapon number. I've
decided to number the weapons from 1 to 11 (W1 to W11). Even though the
Weapon Gallery displays 12 weapons per character (both P1 and P2 versions
of each W1 are shown), on any weapon select screen, you will have a choice
of only 11 weapons. If it becomes necessary to specify, "W1a" shall refer
to the P1 version W1, and "W1b" shall refer to the P2 version. P3 outfits
have been assigned the W1a; I don't think there's a way to select the W1b
with a P3 outfit.
------------------------
II. Characters and Stuff
------------------------
II.1 Hidden Characters
15 characters are initially playable: Astaroth, Cassandra, Heihachi,
Ivy, Kilik, Maxi, Mitsurugi, Necrid, Nightmare, Raphael, Taki, Talim,
Voldo, Xianghua, and Yunsung.
5 other characters are unlockable as playable characters. There are
also 3 characters that appear only in Weapon Master Mode and as Extra mode
opponents. And, of course, there's Inferno (the Arcade Mode boss
character).
(Side note: Necrid and Heihachi are new additions for the home
version of SCII. Necrid is kind of a Dural-like character (Dural from the
Virtua Fighter series of fighting games), in that his moves list seems
comprised mostly of moves originating from other characters' styles
(Necrid's energy force will create whatever weapon he needs (or a
close-enough equivalent) for whatever move he's doing). Heihachi is the
Mishima grandfather from the Tekken series. His SCII style seems (imho)
to play a bit more like his Tekken Tag style than his Tekken 4 style, but
does differ in ways from both. Interestingly, he does still have 2
10-strings and a 9-string, but a Soul Charge (A+B+K) is required before
initiating them.)
U/C notes: Assassin, Berserker, and Lizardman are unlockable for use
in some (but not all) modes of the game. See "Non-unlockable Characters"
section for more information.
II.1.A Unlockable Characters (5)
-------------------------
Cervantes, Charade, Seung Mina, Sophitia, and Yoshimitsu are
unlockable as playable (playable in all modes) via Weapon Master Mode.
Each character is unlocked by the completion of a specific WMM mission, as
follows: Yoshimitsu (2-3), Charade (3-1), Cervantes (3-4), Sophitia (4-5),
Seung Mina (6-3).
(Side note: Sophitia and Seung Mina are SCalibur characters that
didn't make it to the arcade version of SCII, but are returning for the
home version of the game.)
U/C note: See "Non-unlockable Characters" section for information on
Assassin, Berserker, and Lizardman, and how to unlock them as playable.
II.1.B Non-unlockable Characters (4)
-----------------------------
Lizardman, Assassin, Berserker, and Inferno are, as far as I can
tell, *not* unlockable as playable characters (in the J version of SCII).
Lizardman (from SCalibur), Assassin (a masked warrior whose style
suspiciously resembles Hwang's (from SCalibur)), and Berserker (a masked
warrior whose style suspiciously resembles Rock's (from SCalibur)) appear
as opponents in Weapon Master Mode and some Extra modes. Lizardman can
actually be played in two WMM missions (3-2e and 5-1e). Assassin can be
played in two WMM missions (5-1 (as a Random teammate) and 5-1e (as the
secondary character). Berserker can be played in one WMM mission (5-1e
(as the tertiary character)). Lizardman, Assassin, and Berserker have no
special weapons (W2-W11).
Inferno is the Arcade mode boss character. While he was playable in
the DCast SCalibur (albeit in solid form), it appears that he is not
playable in the home version of SCII.
(Side note: Just as Heihachi is exclusive to the PS2 version of SCII,
Link and Spawn are exclusive to the GC and XB versions (respectively). It
is not possible to unlock Link and/or Spawn in the PS2 version of the
game, so if you want to play as one or both of them, you'll just have to
purchase one or both of the other two home versions of the game...)
U/C notes: Assassin, Berserker, and Lizardman *are* unlockable as
playable, but are *not* playable in all modes. They are selectable only
in the following modes: VS Battle, Team Battle, VS Team Battle, Practice,
Extra VS Battle, Extra Team Battle, Extra VS Team Battle, Extra Practice,
and Battle Theater.
Additionally, they still don't have any W2-W11s. They do, however,
have 6 selectable costumes each (2 costumes, with 3 color variations
each), which I've designated as follows, for the sake of clarity of
variation: P1-1, P2-1, P1-2, P2-2, P1-3, P2-3 (although one could
certainly designate them simply as P1-P6, for the sake of numerical ease).
Each costume has a slightly different variation of the character's W1 (W1a
and W1b, with three color variations each), which I've designated as
follows: W1a-1, W1b-1, W1a-2, W1b-2, W1a-3, W1b-3.
Finally, Assassin, Berserker, and Lizardman don't seem to have any
game-internal Command Lists. =/
Anyway, here are the unlock conditions for Assassin, Berserker, and
Lizardman:
Assassin complete mission S3-2e
Berserker complete mission S1-1e
Lizardman complete *all* WMM missions (normal and Extra missions,
including Subchapter 2)
II.1.C Charade notes
-------------
Charade has no style of his/her/its own, but instead uses someone
else's style for the duration of each round (like Edge Master (SCalibur)
or Mokujin (Tekken series)). Charade has no voice (like Mokujin).
Once all characters are unlocked, Charade can select from the
following styles (17): Astaroth, Cassandra, Cervantes, Ivy, Kilik, Maxi,
Mitsurugi, Nightmare, Raphael, Seung Mina, Sophitia, Taki, Talim, Voldo,
Xianghua, Yoshimitsu, Yunsung. (note: This is every playable character's
style except for Heihachi's and Necrid's.)
Initially, Charade can use neither Sophitia nor Seung Mina style.
Sophitia style becomes available to Charade once Sophitia has been
unlocked as a playable character. Seung Mina style likewise becomes
available to Charade once Seung Mina has been unlocked as a playable
character.
Charade will *randomly* choose a fighting style at the beginning of
each round.
In modes with weapon selection (WMM, Extra modes, Museum modes),
Charade will also select a weapon randomly (from his/her/its randomly
chosen style), as follows:
- Any unlocked/purchased weapon is available to Charade.
- All W2s and W3s are available to Charade, even if they haven't
been bought yet.
- Charade will never select a W1 (in modes with weapon selection).
Charade vs. Inferno note: Charade will not change styles mid-round
when Inferno does; the Inferno battle counts as a single round.
U/C note: Assassin style, Berserker style, and Lizardman style appear
*not* to have been added to Charade's repertoire of styles, even in modes
in which they are selectable as playable. =/
II.1.D Inferno notes
-------------
Inferno is the Arcade mode boss (final opponent). As far as I know,
Inferno cannot be unlocked as a playable character. Inferno has no style
of his/her/its own, but instead uses other characters' styles. Inferno
does, however, have a few Inferno-only moves he/she/it can use, regardless
of what style he/she/it is using.
Inferno appears to have the same repertoire of styles and selection
of weapons as Charade (see Charade notes, above, for more details). Any
weapon effects that affect (positively or negatively) the user's health,
however, appear to be ignored when Inferno wields that weapon (exception:
Inferno does still seem to take block damage, if his/her/its weapon has
that effect (Mina's W6, for example)). Additionally, Inferno can't even
regenerate health via Yoshimitsu's B+K; I don't know if Inferno will still
lose health via Yoshimitsu's self-damaging moves (d+A+K, b+B+K, etc.).
The Inferno battle (Arcade mode, Stage 8) is a single round
(regardless of your game settings) divided into three parts.
- Part 1: Inferno will use the same style as the player character,
unless the player is using Heihachi, Necrid, or Charade, in which
case Inferno will use Nightmare style.
- Part 2: Activated when Inferno has lost about one-third of
his/her/its life. Character positions will be reset. Inferno
will select a style randomly.
- Part 3: Activated when Inferno has lost about two-thirds of
his/her/its life. Character positions will be reset. Inferno
will select a style randomly.
If you lose to Inferno and Continue: if "Character Change at
Continue" (Options, Game Settings) is set to ON, Part 1 will be as stated
above; if "Character Change at Continue" is set to OFF (default), Inferno
will select a style randomly for Part 1.
Other notes about the Inferno battle:
- The time limit for the Inferno battle will be 150% (rounded down
to the nearest second) of your selected 1P Round Time (in Game
Settings).
- Inferno has high damage resistance, but throws seem to do normal
(or close to normal) damage.
- Despite how it may appear, Inferno's stage is not infinite in all
directions. There are actually invisible walls forming borders;
the invisible walls appear to form an enclosed arena the shape of
an octagon (8 walls, 8 corners). Interestingly, it appears that,
unlike with a normal wall, getting knocked into one of these
invisible walls will *not* cause impact damage... Wall jumps,
special wall jumps, and wall flips do still seem to work, however.
U/C note: Assassin style, Berserker style, and Lizardman style appear
*not* to have been added to Inferno's repertoire of styles.
II.2 Sub-bosses
In Arcade mode, your Stage 7 opponent is pre-determined, according to
your character (the game calls this a "Destined Battle"). This is your
character's "sub-boss". Before the sub-boss match, instead of the
characters' normal pre-match "ready" sequences, there will be a special
pre-match sequence with the two characters.
All sub-boss battles take place in the "Cathedral" (9) stage.
However, the "Cathedral" BGM is not always used; according to the battle,
BGMs I've designated by theme as "rivals" and "enemies" can also be used
(although as concepts, perhaps "competition" and "antagonism" might work
slightly better).
Here follows a listing for each character of who will appear as the
sub-boss (note: even if a character has not yet been unlocked as playable,
he/she/it can appear as a sub-boss), as well as which of the three BGM
types (cathedral, rivals, enemies) will be used during the stage, and
which of the four pre-ending sequences (SoulEdge, SoulCalibur, SoulEdge &
SoulCalibur, sky) will play after you've defeated Inferno, in case
anybody's interested:
Character Sub-boss BGM type Pre-ending sequence
Astaroth Maxi enemies edge
Cassandra Charade cathedral calibur
Cervantes Ivy rivals edge
Charade Cassandra cathedral edge and calibur
Heihachi Raphael enemies sky
Ivy Cervantes rivals sky
Kilik Xianghua rivals calibur
Maxi Astaroth enemies calibur
Mitsurugi Taki enemies edge
Necrid Talim cathedral edge
Nightmare Raphael enemies edge and calibur
Raphael Nightmare enemies edge
Seung Mina Yunsung cathedral calibur
Sophitia Cassandra rivals calibur
Taki Mitsurugi enemies sky
Talim Yunsung rivals sky
Voldo Yoshimitsu cathedral edge and calibur
Xianghua Kilik rivals calibur
Yoshimitsu Voldo cathedral calibur
Yunsung Talim rivals edge
(note: Every sub-boss is reciprocated (character is sub-boss of
character's sub-boss), except for Heihachi's, Necrid's, Seung Mina's, and
Sophitia's...)
XB note:
Spawn Raphael enemies edge
GC notes:
Link Raphael zelda sky
Link's sub-boss battle does take place in the Cathedral (9) stage, but
instead of the normal "Cathedral" or "Rivals" or "Enemies" BGM, a
variation on a classic Zelda BGM is used instead.
II.3 Outfits and stuff
Note on using Random Select: Random select has been made compatible
with outfit selection, so it is now possible (unlike in the DCast
SCalibur) to randomly select a P2-outfitted character from the P1 side,
and vice versa. Just toggle a character's outfit to whichever outfit
number you want (P1, P2, P3) before moving to the Random Select box, and
whatever character you end up with will be using that outfit (exception:
if a character doesn't have a P3 outfit, his/her/its P2 will be used
instead). Weapons are not randomly selected, and so must be selected by
the player.
U/C note: A 4th, 5th, or 6th costume (Assassin, Berserker, or
Lizardman) will end up becoming a P3 (P2 for those characters without a
P3) for those characters that have fewer costumes than 4.
II.3.A Outfit selection
----------------
Every character in the game has at least two outfits:
P1 outfit: default for P1 side
P2 outfit: default for P2 side
(side note: When choosing your Practice Mode *opponent*, the default
outfits will be reversed, in comparison to your Practice Mode character
(your opponent is on the other side)...)
Here's what each button does on the character select screen
(functions seem to be assigned to fixed buttons on the controller, btw):
O Select character/weapon
X Cancel (where applicable)
[square] Select character/weapon
[triangle] Outfit toggle (P1, P2, and (if applicable) P3)
START Options menu (character select screen)
(Notes: In mirror matches (same character on both sides), both
characters cannot use the same outfit, though they can both use the same
weapon. P3 outfits and non-default weapons must be unlocked/purchased in
Weapon Master Mode.)
II.3.B 3rd outfits
-----------
12 of the 20 playable characters have a P3 outfit: Astaroth,
Cassandra, Ivy, Mitsurugi, Nightmare, Raphael, Seung Mina, Sophitia, Taki,
Talim, Voldo, and Xianghua. P3 outfits must be unlocked/purchased in WMM
(see the Weapon Master Mode section of this document for more details).
GC note: In addition to a P3 outfit, Link also has a P4 outfit.
Both are purchasable in WMM shop E1, though the P4 outfit only becomes
available for purchase after the P3 outfit has already been bought.
II.3.C Weapons
-------
Each non-Charade playable character has two weapons initially
available: the P1 version of his/her default weapon (W1a), and the P2
version of his/her default weapon (W1b). It is not possible to select the
W1b when using a P1 outfit, nor is it possible to select the W1a when
using a P2; the P3 outfit will default to the W1a. The W1a and W1b differ
only in how they look; use of one over the other does not, as far as I
know, affect damage (or damage resistance), speed, range, or anything else
that can affect a battle.
Ten more weapons (W2-W11) per non-Charade character can be
unlocked/purchased via Weapon Master Mode. Like the weapons in the PSX
version of SoulEdge, these weapons do have varying stats and abilities!
Once all weapons are available, each non-Charade character will have
a choice of 11 weapons (W1-W11) (W1a/W1b variation determined by outfit),
in any mode where weapon selection is available (WMM, Extra/Museum modes).
Some general notes about weapons: The W11 is the most expensive
weapon, but is usually the weakest. The W10 is sometimes (though not
always) the best weapon (most powerful/useful), but depending upon your
personal style of fighting, you may find another weapon to work better for
you. See a SCII Weapons FAQ (note: make sure to check which release the
Weapons FAQ is based on (see U/C note, below)) for more details about each
weapon's strengths and weaknesses.
Side note about Necrid's W10: Necrid's W10 takes on the properties of
his opponent's weapon. In a Necrid vs. Necrid match, if both players
select the W10 (thus resulting in no weapon template to copy), both
weapons will take on the properties of Necrid's W1.
U/C note: Some weapon stats/properties have actually been changed for the
U/C version, so do be aware that which version of the game a Weapons FAQ
is based on can affect how accurate it is when applied to your version of
the game (i.e. if you have a U/C game, consult a Weapons FAQ based on the
U/C version of the game; if you have a J game, consult one based on the J
version...). Here follow some of the changes I noticed, in comparing the
J version PS2 weapons with the U/C version XB weapons (note: this is not a
complete list of changes, but merely a list of some of the ones I happened
to notice):

II.4 Quotes and poses and stuff
II.4.A. Character selection quotes
--------------------------
On the Character Select screen, when a character is selected,
he/she/it will go through a selection pose and quote (except Charade, who
poses, but does not speak). The selection quote a character uses is
determined by his/her outfit. As each character has either two or three
outfits, each character equivalently has two or three selection quotes...
U/C note: Assassin, Berserker, and Lizardman also have one selection
quote per outfit...
II.4.B Vs. screen taunts
-----------------
With the exception of Charade (who doesn't speak), each character can
say one of four things on the pre-battle Vs. screen. These four quotes
can be selected with the G, A, B, and K buttons. If more than one button
is held down, the button with the highest priority will determine the
quote used. In order of descreasing priority: A, B, K, G.
Vs. screen taunts cannot be used for Destined (sub-boss) battles or
Inferno battles.
II.4.C Pre-match poses/quotes
----------------------
Each character appears to have at least two, and as many as five
pre-match "ready" sequence poses, and can have up to eight quotes per
pose, for a total of 40 possible basic pose/quote combinations (although
none of the characters (well, aside from Charade) has anywhere near that
many...). These can be selected via a combination of buttons (pose
select) and d-pad directions (quote select). Hold down a button and a
direction while your character's "ready" sequence is loading in order to
select a specific pre-match pose/quote. If more than one button is held
down, the button or button combination with the highest priority will
determine the pose used. In order of descreasing priority: GA, G, A, B,
K.
Note that the sub-boss battles get special pre-match sequences,
instead of the normal "ready" sequences. Also, preliminary testing
suggests that the pre-match pose/quote for Inferno battles cannot be
chosen: it seems always to be a specific pre-determined pose, and silent.
Key:
Pose command special conditions
quote # quote command
Various notes: G+A will be represented as GA, for the sake of brevity;
quote numbers are taken from the Voice section of the character's
Character Profile (Museum); special conditions include (but are not
necessarily limited to) character outfit and opponent gender.
Gender notes: There are 7 female characters (Cassandra, Ivy, Seung Mina,
Sophitia, Taki, Talim, Xianghua), and 13 male characters (Astaroth,
Cervantes, Charade, Heihachi, Kilik, Maxi, Mitsurugi, Necrid, Nightmare,
Raphael, Voldo, Yoshimitsu, Yunsung).
Necrid and Voldo notes: I haven't bothered to compile quotes for Necrid
and Voldo; while quotes are listed in their respective Voice lists,
neither is actually speaking in an intelligible language, so...

II.4.D Win poses/quotes
----------------
Each character appears to have at least four, and as many as eight
win poses, and up to eight quotes per pose, for a total of 64 possible
basic pose/quote combinations (although none of the characters (well,
aside from Charade) has anywhere near that many...). These can be
selected via a combination of buttons (pose select) and d-pad directions
(quote select). Hold down a button (or combination of buttons) and a
direction while your character's win sequence is loading in order to
select a specific win pose/quote. Note: If more buttons than necessary
are held down, the button or button combination with the highest priority
will determine the pose used. In order of descreasing priority: GA, GB,
GK, AB, K, B, A, G.
Note on sub-boss and Inferno battles (Arcade mode stages 7 and 8):
There seem to be pre-assigned win pose/quotes for the winning round of
sub-boss and Inferno matches. Also, if the sub-boss wins, he/she may have
a specific pose/quote as well...
Key:
Pose command special conditions
quote # quote command
Various notes: G+A, G+B, G+K, and A+B will be represented as GA, GB, GK,
and AB (respectively), for the sake of brevity; quote numbers are taken
from the Voice section of the character's Character Profile (Museum);
special conditions include (but are not necessarily limited to) character
outfit, weapon used, and opponent gender.
Note on using neutral (n) as a win quote command: If you select a win
pose, but don't select a quote (keep the d-pad/stick in neutral position),
the game will select a quote (from the quotes available for that pose) in
a specific repeating order, which I've designated as the "neutral select
order". The first time during a match that n is used for a pose, the
first quote in the neutral select order will be used; the second time
(during the same match) n is used (for the same pose), the second quote
will be used; etc. After the final quote is used, the neutral quote
select will start over with the first quote. Win quotes listed below will
be listed in neutral select order.
Gender notes: There are 7 female characters (Cassandra, Ivy, Seung Mina,
Sophitia, Taki, Talim, Xianghua), and 13 male characters (Astaroth,
Cervantes, Charade, Heihachi, Kilik, Maxi, Mitsurugi, Necrid, Nightmare,
Raphael, Voldo, Yoshimitsu, Yunsung).
Necrid and Voldo notes: I haven't bothered to compile quotes for Necrid
and Voldo; while quotes are listed in their respective Voice lists,
neither is actually speaking in an intelligible language, so...

III. Weapon Master Mode Stuff
-----------------------------
Name Entry note: The Weapon Master Mode name entry procedure, like the
high score name entry procedure, does have an offensive word filter in
play. So if you get an input error when entering your WMM name, you
probably unintentionally (hopefully) entered something the game considers
potentially offensive.
Name Entry note2: The default WMM name (press START without entering
anything) is "PLAYER".

Note: Chapter maps showing approximate placings of the mission locations
(stages) will appear at the beginning of each Chapter section, below.
Note2: Display Chapter-opening text
On the World Map, select a chapter with [triangle], and you'll be able to
re-view (or preview, if you've unlocked the Chapter, but haven't yet
entered it) the Chapter-opening text for that Chapter. If necessary,
press O or [square] to scroll one page down, and [triangle] to scroll one
page up. X will cancel back to the World Map.
III.2 The Missions
Mission Data Key:
Chapter-Stage: Exp, Gold
Unlockables and notes
Note: Exp and Gold listed will be for 1/1; each subsequent completion will
grant less Exp and Gold, up to a specific minimum (at 5 completions, I
think); each loss will grant a small amount of Exp and Gold.
Note2: As asterisk (*) will denote a mission that is not unlocked in the
usual way.
Dungeon Mission Map Key:
e = entrance/exit
B = Boss Battle!
# = #*100 Gold earned
Dungeon note: Dungeon squares (except for the boss battle) can be
completed more than once without exiting the Dungeon; "maximum" +Gold
listed for Dungeon missions, however, will assume that each square in the
dungeon has been completed exactly once.
U/C note on Dungeon square coordinates: An (x,y) coordinate notation will
be used to specify any weapon unlock locations in a Dungeon, where x is
the number of spaces right, and y is the number of spaces up from the
entrance/exit square.
Note on WMM Rival battles: For missions 1-3, 3-2, 7-2, 10-2, and 10-2e,
your opponent (or boss opponent) is determined by the character you
selected when you first started WMM (even if you never used that character
(i.e. by switching to a different character before playing mission 1-1)).
This opponent is what I'm designating a "WMM Rival". The Vs. screen of a
WMM Rival battle will be accompanied by a dramatic music clip, as well as
a Vs. screen taunt from the WMM Rival.
Here follows a list of each starting character's WMM Rival. In all
cases except for two (each marked with an asterisk (*) below), a starting
character's WMM rival is the same as his/her/its sub-boss...

U/C notes (mission 4-3e):
Since a lot of people seem to be having trouble completing mission
4-3e (which, while not necessary to unlock Subchapter 2, is necessary to
unlock Lizardman (requires completion of *all* WMM missions), here are
some tips:
1) 4-3e special condition: If you Guard Break your opponent, he/she
will take a *significant* amount of damage.
2) You can find moves with Guard Break properties by consulting
your character's in-game Command List. Also, some moves can
gain Guard Break properties from a Soul Charge (A+B+K).
3) Your opponent must be Guarding in order to be Guard Broken
(thus, Taki, who (in 4-3e) Guards more than the other opponents,
may actually end up being your easiest opponent!).
It's certainly possible to complete 4-3e without using a Guard Break
move (I've had a good amount of success with Talim, utilizing Ring Out
tactics), but Guard Breaking your opponents definitely makes things a
whole lot easier. My best success rate comes from using Astaroth's
f,f+A(B) (or 8WR-f,A(B)), the second hit of which is a Guard Break...

III.3 Buying Stuff
Using Gold earned in Weapon Master Mode (and other modes of the
game), you can purchase extras such as: weapons, outfits, galleries,
demos, and modes. Each Chapter has a Shop with a unique inventory, though
some items are offered at more than one shop (note: price will not vary
according to location, so don't bother comparison shopping =) ). If you
already have an item, it will be marked as "Sold Out".
Note on shop selection: You don't have to enter an area to select its
shop. Shops can actually be selected directly from the World Map
(highlight an area, press the START button, and select "Shop").
Note on saving money: Some purchasable extras are also unlockables (19
weapons and 1 outfit). These will be noted below (see the Shop Inventory
Lists section of this document), for those of you interested in saving
some Gold along the way.
III.3.A A note on inflation
-------------------
As it turns out, characters that are used more will actually have
higher prices for their weapons, outfits, and kata (yes, even if another
character buys them)! This is based on percentage of usage in *all* modes
of the game (not just WMM). These percentages, rounded down to the
nearest 0.1%, can be found in the "Character Data" section of Records, in
the Options menu.
Character Data Price inflation for that character's items
0.0% - 5.9% usage (no increase)
6.0% - 30.9% usage +20% (rounded up to the nearest 100)
31.0% - 60.9% usage +30% (rounded up to the nearest 100)
61.0% - 90.9% usage +50% (rounded up to the nearest 100)
91.0% - 100.0% usage +60% (rounded up to the nearest 100)
So, for example, if your usage percentage for Heihachi were 95%, his
W2 would cost 1000 (600*1.6=960, rounded up to 1000), his W3 would cost
1500 (900*1.6=1440, rounded up to 1500), his W4 would cost 2000
(1200*1.6=1920, rounded up to 2000), etc...
Technical note on percentages: The percentages listed in Character Data
are rounded down to the nearest 0.1%. Thus, if a character's usage
percentage were, for example, 5.9701% (4/67), that would get rounded down
to 5.9%; and a character usage of 6.0241% (5/83) would get rounded down to
6.0%. A percentage of 6.0000% (3/50), however, would not get rounded down
at all, and would be shown as 6.0%. Having tested the "exactly 6.0%"
case, I found that it produced no inflation! Thus, technically, the above
inflation ranges should probably read: 0<=n<=6, 6<n<=31, 31<n<=61,
61<n<=91, and 91<n<=100. However, due to the fact that in almost all
cases, Character Data percentages shown as 6.0, 31.0, 61.0, and 91.0 will
actually belong to the next highest inflation category, I've left the
ranges as shown in the chart above, in order to reflect what the Character
Data percentage will most likely show.
A note on avoiding inflation:
It is actually possible to avoid paying inflated prices by using
Charade. Charade has no purchasable character-specific items except for
his/her/its kata, so after purchasing that, switch to Charade, and
eventually, the other character(s) you used will fall below 6.0% usage,
and their items will return to their suggested retail prices.
Minimal case: 10 character usages are required to unlock Subchapter
1. Mission 2-3 requires 3 usages by the same character, so if you use 4
or more characters, you can keep the highest single-character usage at 3.
Purchase Charade's kata (4600 Gold) at the Subchapter 1 shop before
switching to Charade. Once you've logged 40 usages with Charade (which
should occur before you've completed mission 10-3), all characters besides
Charade should be at 6.0% or below (see technical note, above, if you're
interested in why this 6.0% doesn't get any price increase), and all shop
prices should have normalized.
Side note: To calculate the approximate number of Charade usages that
will be necessary to push all other usage percentages below 6.0, use the
following calculation: (h = highest single-character usage; t = total
number of non-Charade character usages)
(h/0.059)-t
III.3.B Earning Gold from other game modes
----------------------------------
It is possible to earn Gold from game modes other than WMM. After
mission 1-1 has been played (even if you failed it), other modes will
grant you Gold. A minimum of 100 Gold is always granted at the "Game
Over" screen, no matter how badly you do; larger sums can be earned, as
follows:
Arcade 300 per completion
Time Attack (Standard) 300 per completion
Time Attack (Alternative) 500 per completion
Time Attack (Extreme) 800 per completion
Survival 200 at 10 wins, +100 for each +5 wins
Team Battle 300 per completion
Extra Arcade 500 per completion
Extra Time Attack (Standard) 500 per completion
Extra Time Attack (Alternative) 800 per completion
Extra Time Attack (Extreme) 1000 per completion
Extra Survival (Standard) 200 at 10 wins, +100 for each +5 wins
Extra Survival (Death Match) 200 at 20 wins, +100 for each +10 wins
Extra Survival (No Recovery) 200 at 10 wins, +100 for each +5 wins
Extra Team Battle 500 per completion
U/C notes:

III.3.C Shop Inventories
----------------
The prices listed below will be the default (uninflated) prices.
Items that can be unlocked by WMM mission completions will be marked with
an asterisk (*) and offset by a couple of spaces, to draw attention to
this fact. A period (.) will mark items that may not be initially
availble (unlock the associated character, and the item will show up in
the shop's inventory).
U/C note: A plus sign (+) will mark weapons not already marked by an
asterisk (*) that can be unlocked via WMM Dungeons. A minus sign (-) will
mark weapons that can no longer be unlocked by WMM mission completions.

U/C notes: Remove W11 Astaroth, and add the following: (asterisk (*) means
weapon is already in above list)
Astaroth W9 E1-3 (-3,-3)
Cassandra *W9 S4-5 (6,0)
Cervantes W5 4-5 (4,2)

W8 10-2 (6,-1)
Sophitia W8 10-2 (5,-4)
Talim W4 S1-1 (7,3)
Note about Nightmare's W8 and Raphael's W6: These weapons are unlocked by
missions that necessarily must be completed before the shops that sell
them become available.
Note about Xianghua's W4: The Evil SoulCalibur (or Corrupted SoulCalibur,
if you prefer) is not for sale in any shop. It must be earned by
completing mission 5-2.
And to make mass-purchases of weapons easier, here's a simple list
detailing which shop(s) contain a full variety of weapons (19 in most
cases) for each W#:
Weapons Shop chapter
19 W2s 1
19 W3s 2
18 W4s 3

19 W8s 10
19 W9s E1
19 W10s E2
19 W11s S2
Finally, for those who are interested, here's a chart showing
standard prices, inflated (60%) prices, differences, and totals for a full
set of weapons (W2-W11):

----------------------------------
Calculations below will assume that all unlockable purchasables have
not been purchased, and will also assume no inflation.

III.4 WMM Classes
For those of you wondering about the rankings beyond Platinum
Edgemaster, here they are: (Exp numbers have not been tested for minimal
values; rounded values (below) are assumed to be minimal values needed)
Lv. Exp Class
75 380000 Platinum Edgemaster
Grand Edgemaster of the
76 400000 Wolf
77 500000 Basilisk
78 600000 Gorgon
79 700000 Gargoyle
80 800000 Ogre
81 900000 Minotaur
82 1000000 Cerberus
83 1200000 Hydra
84 1400000 Furies
85 1600000 Kraken
86 1800000 Fenrir
87 2000000 Gryphon
88 2300000 Pegasus
89 2600000 Wyvern
90 2900000 Manticore
91 3200000 Chimera
92 3500000 Cyclops
GloriousEdgemaster of the
93 4000000 Seiren
94 4500000 Efreeti
95 5000000 Balron
Legend Edgemaster of the
96 5500000 Unicorn
97 6000000 Dragon
98 7000000 Phoenix
99 99999900 Ultimate Counter Stopper
As far as I know, nothing special is unlocked upon reaching Lv.99.
Side note: For detailed information on Classes below Platinum Edgemaster,
you should probably consult a Weapon Master Mode FAQ (or perhaps even a
general FAQ) for this game...
U/C notes: Due to the insertion of "Gold Combatant" at Lv.30, Platinum
Edgemaster is Lv.76 instead of Lv.75. Grand Edgemaster of the Wolf seems
to have been removed; Grand Edgemaster classes begin with Lv.77 Grand
Edgemaster of the Basilisk (note: I haven't tested past Lv.77, but since
the rankings have been made to align at Lv.77, it's likely that the rest
(Lv.78+) will basically follow the above pattern as well...).
U/C notes about the non-Edgemaster classes: Most of the WMM Classes have
been renamed for some reason. Here is a list of the original Class names
and what each has been renamed (or not, as the case may be) as:
Lv. Class (J) Class (U/C) Lv.
1 Newcomer Newcomer 1
2-6 Peasant Neophyte 2-6
7-11 Apprentice Apprentice 7-11
12-16 Squire Disciple 12-16
17-21 Infantryman Fighter 17-21
22-26 Soldier Battler 22-26
27-30 Knight Combatant 27-31
31-35 Lieutenant Duelist 32-36
36-40 Captain Mercenary 37-41
41-45 Colonel Warrior 42-46
46-50 General Knight 47-51
51-55 Champion Champion 52-56
56-60 Lord Conqueror 57-61
61-65 Overlord Hero 62-66
66-70 King Master 67-71
71-75 Edgemaster Edgemaster 72-76

IV.1 Collection Data list and conditions
Here follows a complete list of all 83 "Collection Data" items
(Options menu, Collection History), and the conditions necessary to unlock
each. Note that some items can be unlocked in more than one way.

"Sophitia profile" (46), all Collection Data numbers will be offset by 2
(see notes after Collection Data list for more information).
U/C notes: Due to the insertion of Assassin, Berserker, and Lizardman,
starting with "Raphael profile" (6), all Collection Data numbers will be
offset by 3 (see notes after Collection Data list for more information).

7. Assassin

IV.2 The replay camera
For rounds that your character wins, you will actually have control
over the replay camera, as follows (note: the two zoom functions seem to
be assigned to fixed buttons on the controller, but the other two
button-based functions are not...):
up/down Rotate camera vertically
left/right Rotate camera horizontally
[square] Zoom in
[triangle] Zoom out
K Toggle focus from one character to the other
G Slow down replay (while button is held down)
d,u Camera moves to overhead position (tap u to cancel,
or d to move camera to floor-level)
u,d Camera moves to floor-level position (tap d to
cancel (character's face will be closer than
normal), or u to move camera to overhead)
GC note: Zoom out and Zoom in have been assigned fixed buttons (Y and
X, respectively). Unfortunately, the default button config (Types A and
B) assigns the K button to the X key. Thus, using the default button
config, one will be unable to Zoom in without also switching the character
focus. =/
U/C note: the "overhead" and "underfoot" codes appear to have been
removed.
IV.3 Character Profile stuff
Just a few undocumented extras in the Character Profile section of
Museum mode...
Main menu:
L1/L2 Rotate character 90 degrees to his/her/its right
R1/R2 Rotate character 90 degrees to his/her/its left
Stage:
L1/L2 Toggles text window off or on
Voice:
L1/L2 Temporarily displays the Character Voice credit for the
character (Charade has no Voice option (Charade has no
voice), and the Necrid and Voldo CVs are "Unknown", if
anybody was curious)
IV.4 The title screen(s)
There are actually three different title screens in the game. The
following are (as far as I can tell) the conditions required for each:
1) Evil SoulCalibur against cloudy blue background
- (no conditions; initially available)
2) 16 Character portraits
- number of Collection History items obtained + number of
special (W2-W11) weapons obtained >= 110
3) Weapons against background of stages
- All weapons obtained (190, not including default weapons),
and complete Collection History (83)
IV.5 "SoulCalibur Two" and "Namco" voices
The voice that speaks "SoulCalibur Two" at the title screen and
"Namco" at the Namco screen isn't always the announcer's voice. The game
characters (yes, even Voldo and Necrid and, if anybody was wondering,
Heihachi too) will actually sometimes say these instead.
I don't think there's a way to select a specific character, but from
observation, it does seem that the character at the top of one's Character
Data chart (Options, Records) may actually have a higher chance of being
selected to say "SoulCalibur Two" initially after each time the game is
loaded.
IV.6 Wall-assisted flip-jumps
For anybody who's interested, here follows a listing of the wall flip
moves I've encountered:
Taki
d,db,b, (u/d) (towards wall), (u/d) (towards wall, when hitting
wall)
or 8WR(A+K), u/d, u/d
- jumps 90 degrees away (directly left or directly right,
depending upon which way the wall isn't) from opponent.
- pressing an attack button while wall flipping will result in
Taki performing an attack upon landing, as follows:
A: A=f
B: f,f+B
K: f,f+K
Talim
(8WR-u/uf/ub/d/df/db)([B+K]) (8WR must be done towards a nearby
wall)
or 8WR(B+K), B+K

His courage and faith are his greatest weapons.
Spawn

IV.8 Auto-load and auto-save
SoulCalibur II has an auto-load process, but do note that it only
works with the P1 slot (note: even manual loading cannot be done from the
P2 memory card slot).
SoulCalibur II also has an auto-save process, which similarly only
works with the P1 slot (note: even manual saving cannot be done to the P2
memory card slot). The Auto-save feature defaults to ON (if a memory card
is detected and you create a save file), and can be located in the Save & Load
section of the Options menu.
IV.9 Soft reset
SoulCalibur II uses a simple 2-button reset, which can be done from
either contrller (P1 or P2). Just press SELECT+START or SELECT(START) or
START(SELECT) to reset the game back to the title screen.
