Added DiffLines:
* EgyptIsStillAncient: Sophitia is a woman from 16th Century Greece who dresses like a warrior-woman from Greek Antiquity, and also worships the god Hephaestus. At the time, Greece was ruled by the Ottoman Empire (which was Muslim), and the people of that country were Christian and ''very'' insistent on it. It's really just an [[RuleOfCool excuse]] to have an ancient Greek warrior fighting people in the Renaissance.

** Soul Edge from, um, ''Soul Edge''. Do you like fighting [[LightningBruiser Cervantes]]? How about a much tougher Cervantes that can teleport and use flying unblockable attacks? It can take several attempts to beat Soul Edge and theApprentice original arcade had to tone down the difficulty just for his fight because he was nearly impossible to beat. There is also Tanegashima, from Mitsurugi's story, who also qualifies because he's got a rifle already primed and loaded and pointed at your face when the fight starts... and if you don't dodge the fast-moving projectile within a split-second of the match starting, he hits you with an unblockable OneHitKill.
** ''II'' has Inferno, a final boss who uses random movesets from other characters, has a deceptively large lifebar (three times bigger than a normal characters'), a damage bonus, a special throw that knocks off half your health inArcade Mode.one hit, and he changes movesets when reduced to 2/3rds and 1/3rd of his lifebar. If he weren't so [[AIBreaker susceptible to throws]], he'd be a complete joystick-snapper.
** ''III'' has several. First off, the aptly-named '''Night Terror'''. He has EyeBeams that can kill you in one hit, a stance that renders him immune to damage from most attacks, Nightmare's moveset with even more stupidly high damage and reach, oh, and you can't beat him with a Ring Out because he'll just fly back into the ring? What about Colossus, a giant stone statue you sometimes fight in Sophitia's stage? He can't block (you're just hacking away at his shin) but he has a huge life bar and half his attacks have Guard Break or Unblockable and ridiculous range that can yeet you off the stage in a Ring Out even if you're hit in the centre of the ring. Oh, and if you do knock his HP to zero then [[KaizoTrap he has one last trick where he can crush you with his body if he falls on top of you and this counts as his win because the announcer only declares him defeated once he's nose-down in the dirt]]. There's also Keres, a story mode-only character who is ImmuneToFlinching, which also renders him immune to most throws and knockback and allows him to wail on you since you can't interrupt him.
** ''V'' offers you Legendary Souls Mode. Remember [[VideoGame/BlazBlueContinuumShift Score Attack]]? You fight '''SEVEN''' nightmarish bosses one after another controlled by a demonically-possessed AI that seemingly reads your inputs and reacts with unbelievable timing, doesn't allow you to so much as breathe once it goes on the offensive, and always, ''[[PerfectPlayAI always]]'' performs Just Frame attacks perfectly, allowing them to pull off disgusting combos that are nearly impossible for master players. Let's run down the list:
*** First up, you got Kilik. Normally he's a mimic character who can use random movesets. Here, Kilik sticks to Xiba's (originally his moveset) and combos you like a maniac the moment he's able to get an opening with ambiguous mixups, and doesn't stop for noone. Not content to just beat you with Xiba's tricks, Kilik also uniquely uses some of his old signature moves as well.
*** Second, you have Nightmare, wearing a special ''IV'' costume. He'll always have you beat on reach and can take away 50-70% of your HP with Brave Edges and a special command throw for when you are downed.
*** Your third opponent is Siegfried, also using his costume from ''IV''. Siegfried acts like a combination of Nightmare's insane reach and power with Kilik's confusing mixup game, while also being a StoneWall. Good luck here, he'll ring you out several times while you wail against his defences.
*** Opponent No.4 is Cervantes, decked out in a costume that makes him look like Inferno. Fortunately he's a bit easier than Siegfried, but your jaw will drop when he shows how to juggle you with instant strings of Geo Da Rays/[[Franchise/StreetFighter Psycho Crushers]] for mental damage.
*** Made it past Cervantes? Congratulations, a lesser player would have snapped their controller by now, but here's where the fun really begins. Your fifth opponent is [[CoolOldGuy Edge Master]], who uses Alpha Patroklos's moveset (i.e, Setsuka's moveset). All he has to do is block a single attack and that's it, you will be punished with either a combo finishing up with his Critical Edge which can be pulled off pretty much any move due to how fast it comes out, or a Just Frame Sakura Twister which he can do ''twice in a row'' and deals incredible damage for a combo finisher. For many, this is the breaking point, but there's two more to go, and the next is even more terrible than him...
*** Now for Elysium, using Pyrrha Omega's moveset, or Sophitia's style from ''IV'' if you are unfamiliar. Welcome to the hardest boss of all the seven, the lowest and hottest pit in the Legendary Souls Tartarus. Elysium's take on Sophitia (who it bears noting, was top tier back in ''IV'') is even faster and more dangerous than she was before with an astonishing mixup game, spamming Angel's Strike (her gut stab) like it's going out of style, and she always finishes it with a Just Frame. In addition, just like with Kilik, Omega Pyrrha's style gains some of Sophitia's old and best moves with special properties exclusive to Elysium. And if that wasn't enough, she has an exclusive 20-hit, full-screen Critical Edge she'll unleash on you with any opportunity and at the worst possible moments.
*** If you manage to get to the seventh and final opponent, you might be shocked to see a familiar face - it's Algol, but he's taken fashion advice from [[Franchise/StreetFighter Gill]]. This time he's gotten smarter and he doesn't accidentally ring himself out anymore, and he's not as tough as Elysium before, but don't underestimate him: he's a force to be reckoned with if allowed to build up some meter, spamming Brave Edges and Critical Edges with sadistic abandon. And if Algol is feeling nasty, he might save up his meter and use it ''all at once''. Nothing quite says frustration like a 10-hit touch of death combo where he flips you like a beermat and you can do nothing but lie back and take your beating like a good soldier. ''Orrrr'' he might unleash his Complete Critical Edge at full meter which is among the most damaging single hit moves in the ''entire game''. He's not quite as oppressive as Elysium, but don't let the bastard gain momentum, or you ''will'' regret it.

** Depending on the game, you can unlock Soul Edge as a weapon for any character. It might have some negative effects like random stats or depleting your HP, but it will not actually drive your character insane unless they pick it up in a cutscene. In fact in some cutscenes, you can get the amusing spectacle of your character destroying Soul Edge using another Soul Edge, or tossing their Soul Edge aside having suffered no ill effects from holding it to pick up the enemies' one and ''only then'' becoming corrupted by it.
