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

** Definitely noticeable by ''V'', where his voice sounds less calm and more unhinged, as though he just got out of an insane asylum.

* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: Raphael's ultimate goal is to create a new world for his adoptive daughter Amy. His primary methods of doing this are as follows: manipulating events from behind the scenes, killing innocent people to quench his vampirism, in the process turning them into undead, malfested slaves under his command, and being a complete asshole to anyone who gets in his way.

** Or a medieval version of [[Blaz Blue|Hazama]].

** It's likely based on the [[wikipedia:Ankou|"Ankou,"]] a [[The Grim Reaper|personification of death]] from early French folklore who is often depicted wearing a wide-brimmed hat, as shown [http://perlbal.hi-pi.com/blog-images/103841/gd/1187000939/L-Ankou.jpg here.]

* [[Papa Wolf]]

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

* [[Royal Rapier]]

* [[Tragic Keepsake]]: In ''V'' he is seen holding one of Amy's hairbands and is looking for her, meaning something bad may have happened to her during the timeskip. This only serves to fuel the theory of "Viola = Amy" even more.

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: His alternate costume in ''V''.

* [[Fragile Speedster]]

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: This varies depending on her costume, but she sports either two or four pigtails.

* [[Last of His Kind|Last Of Her Kind]]: Due to turmoil caused by the influences of Spanish and Portuguese culture in the region, she was reared to be the last priestess (Babaylan).

* [[Little Miss Badass]]: One of the youngest fighters, along with Amy. Talim is 15, while Amy could be anywhere from 12 to 14 years old.

{{quote| "Enemy of my country... prepare yourself!"}}

* [[Shonen Hair]]: He sports an impressively spiky quiff.

* [[Surfer Dude]]: His look in ''SCIII''.

 

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Hot-Blooded]]

* [[Kicking Ass in All Her Finery]]

* [[Large Ham]]: "I guess this means I'm the best!"

* [[No Biological Sex]]

* [[Posthumous Character]]

* [[Shapeshifting]]: How it changes to match each player character's style, it readjusts its skeleton.

** [[Shapeshifter Visual Cue]]: Played with. All of its forms are a brown skeleton with a giant eye in its torso. However, they all also have the habits of the character it's masquerading as, mostly useful to this audience in distinguishing it as Sophitia from it as Cassandra (Cassandra is ironically bouncier).

* [[An Axe to Grind]]

* [[Badass Cape]]: Only seen in the intro (see "[[No Flow in CGI]]" below).

* [[The Cowl]]: Literally and figuratively (except for in his 2P costume, which removes the cowl, revealing his [[Nightmare Face|burnt and horribly disfigured face]]).

* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]

 

* [[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.

* [[Heroic Mime]]: Even with all the opportunities given, he still doesn't speak here.

* [[Jack of All Stats]]

* [[Screaming Warrior]]: [[Heroic Mime|Regardless of the above]], he ''does'' [[Kiai|yell a lot.]] He's quite good at it.
