When they say battle, what do they mean. If I'm fighting Yoshimitus, and I have to beat him five times to advance, is that 5 or 1?

Every round of combat, even rounds you lose, counts as a battle.

I find the quickest way to unlock things is to go into Soul Arena quick battle, fighting up to someone with alot of low attacks...I usually go with Nightmare, he's got some hard-hitting low moves...and get a good book, keeping the controller nearby to press start when "Continue?" comes up.

In Chronicles of the Sword mode, is there any special bonus for beating the Soul Caliber characters a certain way?

Beating the Soul Calibur characters in CotS unlocks their 3rd and 4th weapons without having to actually purchase them in the shop.

Cool. So in essense, I suppose it's been worth the multitude of kamikaze runs I've done on them.

Not to mention the extra cash you get from looting their bodies.

After playing quick battles and more Chronicles of the Sword, I still say the gameplay is a sin, a relatively minor one in comparison of...

ASTAROTH

Look at that...now there's someone to be afraid of! Though I couldn't play him entirely well, Astaroth was one of my favorites, partially because he says stuff that I say.

Now, let's look at this other guy...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU, ASTAROTH! YOU LOOK LIKE A BIG, SUNBURNED DELIDGAMOND!

Imagine that face crying.

For easy money, go to Soul Arena and select Turntable on hard with Voldo (or a create-a-character dancer with Soul of Voldo if you can't stand to look at Voldo.) Spam 66->B (I think that's the proper terminology... double-tap and hold forward, then vertical attack) over and over again, going for ringouts. Average round should take 4-7 seconds or so unless Taki gets counter-happy, and nets 40k gold for a finish time of 50 seconds or less.

no. i'm completly serious. he won't have a weapon, he'll have to jump on you to do damage. and his shirt would have logos on it that are from other games that have nothing whatsoever to do with the storyline. it's especially cool, becuase he's from a diffrent timeline, like spawn is. or even better, remodel an existing character and give him a sword and everything and just CALL him mario. then he'll just fit right into the game seamlessly. and more people will buy it, becuase hey - mario!

i post overboard becuase people thought my article about gangsters using swords instead of guns was real, too

I wouldn't say that I've completely fallen into the groove yet, but I'm getting much better than I was. I'm finding little tricks that are giving me more advantages than I had previously.

I'm also REALLY enjoying the Create a Soul feature. Having unlocked all of the weapon disciplines, I'm really able to get a lot more out of characters.

Plus, I'm finding that it's really enjoyable to remake certain characters from other games. I've made a fighter in the image of Celes Chere, and it's a damn accurate portrayal.

I can't wait to unlock the KOS-MOS armor pieces. From there, I dunno what I'll do, but I'm really enjoying this.

Parcelan, i prefer Costume 2 Astaroth myself. Much more appropriate when you headbutt someone with a giant hammerhead.

Another question... are displines only unlocked by playing the corresponding class in CoftS mode?

Actually, that's incorrect.

A new discipline is unlocked for each class after every 25 battles you fight with that class.

25 - New Discipline
50 - New Discipline
75 - New Discipline
100 - Final Discipline.

Bearing that in mind, there's a very quick way to unlock disciplines.

Spoiler tag for people who don't want to unlock things all cheesy-like.

Create a character of whatever class you want to unlock. Go to vs. mode, and select that character for both players. Adjust player 2's handicap down to 0%. That makes everything a one-hit kill. Then, just repeatedly run up to player 2, hit them, win the battle, and select retry. Using this method, you can unlock every discipline in about 15 minutes, and it only takes that long because of the fact that button responses are cancelled out for a few seconds at the end of each match.

Every 50 battles with the class will unlock another discipline. I just go into Soul Arena Quick Battle and jump out of the ring 50 times.

It's 25 battles per, and my way cuts the time in half because it counts both players' battles.

All times are US/Eastern
