Soul Calibur 2 - Vanilla Raphael (Raphael - Extra Arcade)

[@Astaroth1-i5m]

Best Raphael even now, the dynamic moveset, his appearence (his 2nd costume is my favourite), the arrogant, brooding tone of Paul Jennings and his story in 2 that is the one of an antihero more than a villain.

Reiterpallasch ended up getting a small redesign in SC3 known as Unicorn for Rapier CC/Amy and currently Amy's weapon (SC4, BD and SC6)

Drunk Raphael is best Raphael Ps. I love his stance in this game! The foot tapping is so whimsical and rhythmic

[@lefteron6804]

Raphael here was peak, with sc3 being close. Mostly downwards from there.

[@deadzone4033]

I never really understood why they went full vampire on him

[@lefteron6804]

@@deadzone4033 that isn't even my issue, is that he became increasingly silly. Here and sc3 is when he was most sinister and serious.

[@deadzone4033]

Oh yeah that too. Now he's just a goofy slapstick dad

[@AmotivatedIndividual]

@@deadzone4033I feel like the reason why they did this was because they wanted to distinct Raphael from Amy, that or they didn’t know what to do with the master fencer from France
