Soul Series/Characters/Soul Calibur II: Difference between revisions

** Also Ralph, for some reason.

* [[French Jerk]]

* [[Knight Templar Parent]]: To Amy, although she apparently doesn't take him seriously. {{spoiler|Point in case: her ending in ''IV''.}}

* [[Large Ham]]: "Would you like a taste of my power?!"

** Thanks to his fencing prowess, the headgear also gives him the air of a [[The Three Musketeers (Literature)|Musketeer of the Guard]].

** Before the official announcement, people thought he was [[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jotaro]] based on his window on the character select screen.

* [[Papa Wolf]]

* [[Older Than They Look]]: He's 49 by the time of ''V'', but still looks 32, thanks to his vampirism.

* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: In ''IV'', one of Raphael's throws (that only works on females) as well as his [[Finishing Move|Critical Finish]] involve biting the neck and drinking deep. He's corrupted not by another vampire but by the evil of Soul Edge.

** His vampirism also halted his aging, [[Older Than They Look|leaving him physically at 32]] in ''V''.

* [[Red Right Hand]]: His eyes.

* [[Royal Rapier]]

* [[Expy]]: A more direct one of Hwang.

* [[Fiery Redhead]]

* [[Human Pack Mule]]: A few endings of Mi-na's have this fate befall him.

* [[Idiot Ball]]: By this point, he's actually starting to believe there might be some truth to the whole "Soul Edge is evil" thing, but still wants to see for himself.

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Ass Kicks You]]: She has several moves that are this, and even her Critical Finish is a shield-assisted ass-smash.

* [[Dumb Blonde]]: While there isn't any canon evidence of her intelligence (or lack of), the supplemental manga and ''Broken Destiny'' campaign has her fulfill this role.

* [[Expy]]: The original idea was for her to replace her big sister Sophitia.

* [[Genki Girl]]

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Hot Chick With a Sword]]

* [[Kicking Ass in All Her Finery]]

* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]

* [[Mama Bear]]: Sort of. Wanted to spare her sister from fighting to save her children, so she stole Sophie's weapons and set off to fight the evil.

* [[Opera Gloves]]

* [[Possession Implies Mastery]]: Same deal as her sister.

* [[Plucky Girl]]

* [[Required Secondary Powers]]: An interesting example of a completely mundane character displaying a lack of this -- despite being skilled with Sophitia's weapons, she doesn't know how to take care of them. Her ''Soulcalibur III'' profile mentions she got Rothion to fix them up after ''II'', and in ''III'' {{spoiler|her weapon breaks when she uses it to destroy Soul Edge. [[Quick Time Event|If]] Sophitia finds out in her ending, she sends her straight to the forge to fix it... cut to Cassandra having a sobbing fit, wailing that she ''doesn't know how''.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Trapped in Another World]]: ''[[All There in the Manual|New Legends Of Project Soul]]'' indicates that Cassandra was dragged into Astral Chaos during the defeat of Soul Edge at the end of ''IV'', which explains why she vanished without a trace for 17 years without even trying to find her nephew and niece. No comment has yet been released if Pyrrha Omega tearing open Astral Chaos by claiming Soul Edge allowed Cassandra to escape.}}

* [[Valley Girl]]: A fairly subtle version, but it's there in her vocalization (in English) and precocious personality.

* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]

* [[Mega Manning]]: Borrows from pretty much ''everyone'' in ''II'', leading to some pretty [[Game Breaker|broken]] string of moves.

* [[Shapeshifter Weapon]]

* [[The Unintelligible]]: Speaks in incomphrensible gibberish, to the point that his quotes are labelled as basic emotions conveyed by his speech.

 

* [[Battle Theme Music]]: An arrangement of the ''Zelda'' theme plays when he fights in the Eurydice Shrine.

** On the other hand, the ocarina actually first appeared and was a key source of [[Magic Music]] in ALttP, whilst OoT was Link's first 3-D depiction, so the arguments for Link being a composite character here are kind of shaky.

* [[Easter Egg]]: Winning with Link causes the [[Item Get]] chime to replace the normal victory fanfare. There's also the matter of the game's rendition of the ''Zelda'' main theme.
