Go To

1* [[TheAtoner Siegfried]] vs. [[BigBad Nightmare]] during the climax of ''Soulcalibur III''. The winner then gets an awesome PreAsskickingOneLiner when he turns to fight you:
2-->'''Siegfried''': "If you're after the [[EvilWeapon sword]], don't expect to get past here alive. Sorry to keep you... you're up next!"\
3'''Nightmare''': [[EvilLaugh Ahahahaha!]] The time is ripe... You shall become part of me. You are my first sacrifice!"
4* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBVdXToUvII Ezio Auditore's announcement trailer.]] The trailer initially plays it up as a [[InvincibleVillain Nightmare-kicking-everybody-else's-asses trailer]], only for the trailer to "glitch" up... Ezio shows up a couple of minutes later, and asskicking ensues. (All to a remix of [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic "Venice Rooftops,"]] no less.) And at the end, having taken Nightmare's spotlight completely, he faces down the abomination calmly... And then uses the hidden blade on ''Nightmare''.
5* During the ending of Chronicles of the Sword, your protagonist is hailed as a hero--and has a statue built in his/her honor.
6* Mitsurugi's progression through the series, quite notable as he remains BadassNormal. From Soul Edge where he lost to a rifle to the fifth game where he's gotten to the point that the fighters that gather around the weapons are the only ones who can present a fight (after winning various "unwinnable" battles). It's to the point where he has no interest in either Soul weapon as he feels he doesn't need them.
7* The series' signature intro quotes create rare moments where character taunts match up perfectly, such as...
8-->'''Algol:''' "[[BloodKnight Fighting is my all... it is my existence]]!"\
9'''Nightmare:''' "[[EvilerThanThou Your existence is meaningless]]!"\
10\
11'''Talim:''' "[[MartialPacifist I don't want to fight]]!"\
12'''Raphael:''' "[[ExactWords Very well]], [[LetsDance let us dance]]."\
13\
14'''Raphael:''' "[[WeCanRuleTogether Would you like a taste]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent of my power]]?"\
15'''Mitsurugi:''' "[[ShutUpHannibal Let me give you a taste...]] [[BadassNormal of my steel]]."\
16\
17'''Created Character[[note]]Super Human voice set (in ''SCV'' and ''SCVI'')[[/note]]:''' "[[ArmorPiercingQuestion Why do you choose to fight?]]"\
18'''Siegfried:''' "[[TheAtoner You could never understand]]."\
19\
20'''Female Voice 4[[note]]in ''SCIV''[[/note]]:''' "Effort and talent, [[HardWorkHardlyWorks they are meaningless.]]"\
21'''Female Voice 2[[note]]in ''SCIV''[[/note]]:''' "[[SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers What would you call true strength?]]"\
22\
23'''Voldo:''' ''*hiss*''\
24'''Z.W.E.I.:''' "[[DeadpanSnarker Sorry, I didn't catch all that!]]"
25* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TcvkzVmVnU Cassandra's ''SCIV'' ending.]] Not only does she manage to defeat Algol and destroy Soul Edge, she also manages to break up Soul Calibur ''with her own hands''. While it's a shame it's non-canon, it's still pretty epic. But the best part is this gem:
26-->'''Soul Calibur''': [[VillainousBreakdown You dare extinguish the light of humanity just to suit yourself?]]\
27'''Cassandra''': [[ShutUpHannibal After what you've done to Sophitia... You call yourself the light of humanity?]] '''[[PreMortemOneLiner GET SERIOUS!!!]]''' ''(snaps Soul Calibur in two, killing it)''
28* Also from ''SCIV'', Sophitia's ending... is one for Algol. And one in Ivy's ending, for her sword.
29* Some of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnBVUkhIel0 Destined Battle cutscenes]] in ''SCII'' are this. Some of the most notable ones are Maxi getting the drop on Astaroth and managing to ''bring him to his knees'' with his attacks, and Heihachi rebuffing Raphael with a BarehandedBladeBlock.
30** When Necrid encounters Talim, she's able to figure out that he WasOnceAMan, and if you ''lose'' against her, she's furious that someone or something did this to him.
31* Understated example: in his ending in ''SCIII'', Rock Adams returns to his home in the Americas by ''[[CharlesAtlasSuperpower swimming across the Atlantic Ocean!]]''
32* Getting ''Franchise/StarWars'' characters in ''IV'', and two of them being arguably the most iconic: Darth Vader and Yoda.
33** A implied moment of Fridge Awesome for both is the second-to-last fight in Darth Vader's route in Story Mode being against a tag team of Siegfried, Nightmare, and Yoda. For Darth Vader, it's an awesome moment because he evidently scared both Soul Calibur and Soul Edge -- whose raison d'être is the destruction of each other -- into [[EnemyMine fighting together to stop him]]; his getting his hands on them would be ''that'' bad for everyone. And for Yoda, it's an awesome moment that he evidently managed to convince them of such.
