''Soul Edge'', though mildly successful in arcades (and on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation [[MarketBasedTitle as]] ''[[MarketBasedTitle Soul Blade]]''), [[SequelDisplacement was largely overshadowed by]] ''Soulcalibur'', which revamped many of the original game's aspects, including the three-dimensional movement, character combos, and timing, and completely removed the breakable weapon aspect. The [[UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast Dreamcast]] port of the game rebalanced the gameplay and overhauled the graphics, becoming its system's KillerApp in the process. It is often placed among game critics' "favorite games of all time".
''Soulcalibur'' has since spawned five sequels, which have been ported to a number of home systems. Starting from ''II'', the series would begin making use of GuestFighter characters from other franchises, most notably [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]], [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader, Yoda]], and [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII Ezio Auditore]], among others.

''Soul Edge'', though mildly successful in arcades (and on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation Platform/PlayStation [[MarketBasedTitle as]] ''[[MarketBasedTitle Soul Blade]]''), [[SequelDisplacement was largely overshadowed by]] ''Soulcalibur'', which revamped many of the original game's aspects, including the three-dimensional movement, character combos, and timing, and completely removed the breakable weapon aspect. The [[UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast [[Platform/SegaDreamcast Dreamcast]] port of the game rebalanced the gameplay and overhauled the graphics, becoming its system's KillerApp in the process. It is often placed among game critics' "favorite games of all time".

* IGotBigger: Almost every character experiences height growth as the series progresses.Very wonky, because several characters get taller past their mid twenties. Siegfried is the biggest offender because he grows in almost every game for an timespan of at least 7 years and after IV, he grows a whole 4 cm after the age of 23. That would mean he grew for at least 10 years when the max time a person grows in their growth spurt period is 6 years. Mitsurugi stops growing for a whole four years, and in V, he grows two centimeters extra.Also, this only extends to the men. Only three women, Seong Mina, Hilde and Amy have experienced growth. All but three men, Raphael,Yun-Seong, and Maxi have experienced height growth. One gets the idea that either Retcon is in play to heighten up the characters when the designers feel the character isn’t tall enough and a sense of favoritism for the male characters

That being said, the style gives the character {{Flight}} and EyeBeams, and combo potential in line with the ''Tekken'' series. Basically, apart from the Critical Edge, the style plays like Devil Jin transplanted in ''Soulcalibur'' while losing nothing along the way.
