I'd buy it if they remade the GC version on the Wii U. Link was awesome.

Honestly, Link wasn't special, I ripped up people who played with Link as Mitsurugi and Taki.

IMO if you wanna play as link, play Smash Bros. He isn't a core character. Just like Spawn is not, Darth Vader and Yoda are not...etc. Plus the WiiU has such a small user base especially for an online game.

Ugh why no PC release?

Did you expect it? Cause in reality, PC just isn't a priority for a fighting game.

The nice thing about Link was his throw that made for easy ring-outs, but otherwise he wasn't amazing.

I think Soul Calibur 2 was my favourite of the series. The dungeon crawling bits were quite fun, and Seung Mina was totally broken.

I'm a pretty big soul calibur fan but after 3 they went downhill IMO. 2 was definitely the highlight of the series.
 
lol, a HD remake of a HD game. Though I take it they mean it will be 1080p instead of 720p, and full 16x9 in HD instead of 4x3. (SC2 was widescreen in 480p, but could only manage 4x3 in 720p for performance issues) I also take it that the menus will be redone in 16x9, as opposed to just the matches.

Link was the ring out king. Even more so than Asteroth. If people playing Link tried to defeat you by a straight up beat down, they were doing it wrong.

If people tried using link, they would lose 100% of the time against a good player. He wasn't that special.

The game was 480p (not HD) but the Xbox version would scale to 720p.

I'm going to have to disagree with the notion that there was never a scenario where Link could win against a good player. For a long time I think the community had written off Yun sung (Yunsuck as he was called) as utter trash. Yet, in world tournaments of the game there were still minds out there that were able to make viable use of him in high levels of play. I believe there are minds out there that could have done well with link in the same capacity.

The question is, what would be the point of such an investment? Being a "fun" character in a gamecube exclusive of the game with a terrible controller for fighting games, he would never be allowed in any serious kind of session and would hardly be worth the investment of time to learn intimately. Despite that, just because no one playing as Link was able to defeat you, that doesn't necessarily mean no one under the sun ever could.


As for resolution, the Xbox didn't "scale" it to 720p. It rendered it at that resolution, though it could only manage it in a 4x3 window for performance reasons. If all the Xbox was doing was scaling it, there would be no reason not to output the matches in anamorphic widescreen as well like it did in 480p mode.

For that matter, if all the Xbox could do beyond 480p was upscale then EVERY Xbox game could have passed itself off as a "720p" game. But that was not the case as only a small handful of games supported it. But don't get me wrong, I know where you're coming from. You probably heard Halo 3 isn't running in native 720p (and it isn't) along with several other games on the system and probably just figured no game in existence on xbox or 360 ever has.

Jesus christ I just want link because it is fucking link and is cooler than most characters

And he isn't a soul calibur character. It's kind of like if Capcom added a character to the Xbox 360 version of Street Fighter and removed it when it released on PS4 and Xbox1 later on. It was not a core character of the series thus it's not much loss to the gameplay IMO.
