The Soul series of weapon-based fighting games also achieved considerable critical success, beginning with 1997's Soul Edge ( known as Soul Blade outside of Japan ) to Soulcalibur V in 2012.

It is the second game in the Soul series, preceded by Soul Edge ( 1996 ).

One of the biggest innovations introduced by Soulcalibur to the gameplay system of its predecessor, Soul Edge, is the eight-way run.

Finally, the " Guard Impact " offensive blocking maneuver shown in Soul Edge was given a deeper range of techniques in Soulcalibur, allowing players to push back or redirect attacks past themselves as well as swatting away an opponent's weapon to stun them.

Soulcalibur was originally planned to be a dramatic overhaul, featuring only a few select characters to be carried over from Soul Edge.

However, nine of the eleven characters from Soul Edge ended up carrying over to Soulcalibur by the time the roster was finalized in the Dreamcast version, with an additional ten new characters joining the ranks.

The mystical sword of the legends, the " Soul Edge ", ended up in the hands of the dreaded pirate Cervantes de Leon of Spain.

His reign of terror was soon to start, but through the joined efforts of Greek divine warrior Sophitia Alexandra and Japanese kunoichi Taki, he was stopped and killed, with one of the twin Soul Edge blades being shattered in the process.

The moment he took the hilt of the cursed blade, Soul Edge released a bright column of light into the sky.

Three years after those events, Soul Edge uses Siegfried as its host, and now Siegfried is Nightmare, a knight wearing azure armor and sporting a hideously deformed right arm.

Unknown to them, a group of warriors met on their journey to stop Soul Edge, and with them three sacred weapons join once again.

After releasing Soul Edge, Namco took some time to evaluate what had made the game successful before jumping into development of its follow-up.

Producer Hiroaki Yotoriyama decided to give the sequel a new name instead of just calling it Soul Edge 2 in order to have a fresh start and take the series in a new direction.

The name Soulcalibur is a portmanteau of the word soul ( as in Soul Edge ) and King Arthur's sword Excalibur ( ultimately, the name would be used within the game's universe for the holy weapon which would counteract Soul Edge's evil ).

According to a timeline released by Namco in its Soul Archive site, Soul Edge < nowiki >'</ nowiki > s events take place in the year 1584.

The game tells the tale of warriors searching for the ultimate sword, " Soul Edge ".

Soul Edge is the second 3D fighting game to feature characters that fight with weapons ( the first being Battle Arena Toshinden ), although putting weapons in fighters was not a new concept ( Samurai Shodown is a notable example of a 2D fighter with weapons ).

Soul Edge was created prior to the introduction of the so-called 8-Way Run, which allows the player to move their character in a complete range on the Y-axis.

Soul Edge uses an optional offensive block maneuver called the Guard Impact that would allow players to intercept incoming attacks and push them back, resulting in a momentary opportunity for a free counterattack.

Soul Edge was developed as an experiment by Namco to explore the possibilities of a weapon-based fighting game.
