You heard me. I'm partial to Link, but more interested in the almighty framerate and controls.
I've seen the crew here is both honest and up front, so I'm trusting what I read here more and more. We can love our GC's without hyping them.

- Link
- Best framerate (though all are very good)
- Much better graphics than the PS2 version (and almost impossible to tell that the XBox's are better unless you have an HDTV)
- Control is slightly harder than on the PS2 controller, but it's better than on the XBox
Link isn't all that great, really...once you get over the "cool" factor, you realize he's nothing special.
So yeah, go with the 'Cube version if you have it. Best out of all of them, though they all have their own strengths.

After that, it all depends on your favorite exclusive character and which controller you are most comfortable with...

He's still not all that great. He's cheap, that's for sure - only ranged attacks, uber-powerful moves that are almost un-blockable...
I use Raphael the most. He's awesome, especially with the Queen's sword.

If you want range, try learning Ivy. She's the second most annoying character in the game. For me, Cervantes worked out the best, but Nightmare comes close.
BTW, if you want to play the "evil" characters, leave the speech English, their japanese voices sound awful.
The GC controls are no problem, you should reconfigure them, though. I used B - B, A - K, X - A, Y - A+B. L&R should be guard. The worst aspects of the controls are the guard button and 8-way run. The former should have been replaced with pressing back/nothing and the latter with the shoulder buttons controlling sidesteps. It's really annoying when you want to dodge and your character ducks because you didn't release guard fast enough.

i've played the ps2 version, as well, but the controls suck (in my opinion)

It might just be my TV, but with standard video connections, the GC one looks just a smidge 'blurrier' (the bad kind) on the character select screen. I don't know if you can really see it during matches, but I kinda doubt it.

QuoteUm, you CAN setup autoguard in all Soul Edge console games (which is the same as the Tekken "press back or neutral guard" setup). Just hit start, go to options, and it's right there...

As for the controls, I prefer the default Dreamcast setup or Arcade, so the closest was DC for GCN, and works beautifully:
A button= Guard
B button= A
Y button= B
X button= K
L trigger= Guard
R trigger= Guard
And you can use the C-stick for your choice of button combos (A+B, A+K, B+K, A+B+K and C-up, C-left, C-right, and C-down respectively). The only problem is (like any console version) you'll HAVE TO reach from guard to another button together to grab. B and A are easiest to press natively, while Y and X are hardest to combine with A. But this is why L and R are guard, also.
And to stay on-topic, SCII GCN is the best version, IMO. 720p and Spawn isn't enough to save it from almost sterile graphics (too clean).

This is great news as I love Link, my kids love SC and have a GC ... and Hori's digital can perhaps save me on the controls.
Thanks everyone!
