Not only was Sophitia no longer a playable character (she died between IV and V) but I was stuck playing a whiny, arrogant, psychopathic manchild that not even the rest of the cast liked as a person. Now that Soul Calibur V is out and I still count myself a fan of the Soul lore, I caught up on what I missed via the wiki and dove right into the Story Mode of V. I fell out of love with it around the time of Soul Calibur III due to the growing trend of online play and lack of internet in my region. Soul Calibur was the reason I bought a Dreamcast and it was my favorite fighting game for a long time, solely because Sophitia reminded me of Sailor Venus from the Sailor Moon anime-Hey, I was 15 and obsessed over anything that even had a mild association to that show! Maybe she missed the memo that everyone was pretending to be American? WTF Ivy's the only person to speak with a European accent. LOW The AI blatantly cheating in the most infuriating ways possible.

My opponent's throw places him at the edge of the ring. HIGH Getting curbstomped until I'm down to a sliver of health.

Can 2 people play soul calibur on pc
