Soul Blade (PS1) Gameplay

This is Gameplay of Soul Blade on the PS1 as played on a PS2 with texture smoothing on.

Some people may not realize that before there was Soul Calibur, there was Soul Blade (aka Soul Edge). It is the precursor to the Soul Calibur series.

Soul Blade is my personal favorite fighting game on the PS1. What really makes it stand apart from all the rest is it's quest mode dubbed Edge master Mode, where you take each fighter through a quest to unlock new weapons for them. I actually like the Edge master mode in Soul Blade better than I do the quest mode in Soul Calibur, because you unlock new weapons in it. Each weapon has it's own individual stats that come into play in the actual battles themselves.

As for the gameplay at hand, I'm playing it on normal, and I play through the arcade mode with Siegfried (who will later be known as Nightmare) using his final weapon (the Soul Edge). As you can see, the Soul Edge makes short work of your opponents as well as drains your life.

For the second part, I'm playing a team battle mode with some of the in-game characters (two of which are hidden characters). In one of the bouts I let Rock beat me so I could move on to the next person on the list.

NOTE: I'm a little rusty at this game, so this isn't a perfect and pretty playthrough. Also, Siegfried talks about seeking vengeance from his father. As the story goes, it was Siegfried himself who killed his father.
