The other day I posted about my favorite Dreamcast games (not necessarily the best ones!) and Soulcalibur is right up near the top of the list. My favorite character is the monstrous Nightmare and his gigantic sword with the eye that opens - he's a walking horror, grotesque, and awfully fun to play. Great game!!
I have to admit, I miss playing fighting games with my friends. Taking turns beating the AI into submission, fighting each other, and only stopping because our thumbs were hurting from too much controller mashing.
