Voldo through the ages. The one constant of the Soul series. The undisputed S&M king. The true sex symbol of gaming.

I just won a Soul Calibur II bracket! Played as Kilik like I do in every Soul Calibur. Got sent to loser's bracket by a Voldo that just completely fucked me up, we met again in loser's finals and I was able to beat them that time and move into grands.

Grand finals the other player started with Taki, then switched to Lizardman. This got the people watching us excited because Lizardman immediately won them over, some guy kept going 'Lizardman, exquisite' at each game start. He also said 'man with a pole, exquisite' but I concede that lizardman is more exquisite since his presence got the game declared peak.

Another highlight was when I tried to ring out Lizardman with my sliding kick attack, and technically I did succeed, but I also slid out of the stage myself so the game counted it as my loss. There were other funny ring out moments, like my panicked reactions when I got hit with a grab that I knew was going to put me right out of the ring.

I was able to win the three games required to reset the bracket, meaning I was halfway to victory and overcame the drawback of coming in from the loser's side. And I kept winning.

Then the other player decided to go Yun-Seong, and I have never been more scared of Yun-Seong. He took that game pretty firmly, I was worried he was going to turn the whole set around. But in the next game I was able to adapt and took the tournament point.

This was just a side bracket at a local with twelve entrants, but truthfully I care more about being the best in my small pond than the whole wide world. And it was a really fun set. Hoping we keep this going.

I'm not even that well versed with Soul Calibur II specifically, have only played it at events, but my dedication to Kilik across the entire series paid off.

Propaganda:

Tira has two voices for her two personalities: A high pitched "jolly" voice and a deep "gloomy" voice. It would make for interesting ASMR.

I like how all over tumblr people are loving Link in all his forms and games but his very cursed Soul Calibur II version has been forgotten.

Why cursed?

Well...

My brotha what...?

Bruh

Why he so twitchy

Why is this man a Hylian honey badger

It kills me to think that Taki's first English voice actor, Desirée Goyette, sang some of the songs in the 80s Garfield specials. Here's one from Garfield in Paradise where she also voices Owooda:

I almost used "So Long, Old Friend" from Here Comes Garfield, but frankly this is funnier to me.

It's weirding me out that I can kind of hear SC2 Taki's higher voice in her dialogue. The funny thing is that from a glance at Goyette's Wikipedia article, Soulcalibur II seems to have been an odd one out in her career.

I'll admit I'm more partial to Cynthia Holloway's contralto from the later games though. For my silly fic-writing purposes, I won't say I can't imagine Taki singing, but it's not like I haven't tried. (For a "didn't know she had it in her" kind of moment.) And yes, I'm using the destined battle clips on purpose. *cackles*
