Soul Blade Secret Characters *NEW VERSION*

Time to revisit the game Soul Blade (named Soul Edge in Japan), with the sequels to this first game being named Soul Calibur. The latest in the series is currently Soul Calibur V (5), with Soul Calibur VI (6) hopefully in development!
This video looks at both the arcade and console versions of Soul Blade, taking a look at all the characters which are only playable with cheat devices. There are some characters who feature prominently in various characters' background stories for example, and others we never hear from again in the Soul series...

[@Seabersify]

I always thought that it would have been cool if the secret characters had their own mini edge master mode

[@AdmiralMcFish]

Hwang actually is playable on version 1 of Soul Edge. There's a code to unlock him for any region. Hold start for the entire code. Highlight Mitsurugi and press Up, then Down Highlight Taki and press Up, Up, Down Down Highlight Rock and press Down, Up, Down, Up You'll then hear a sound. Move left of Rock and he's there.

[@fanaticz666]

AdmiralMcFish - Bosses and Hidden Characters he said that

[@Roadhog360]

Why do I enjoy watching videos about unobtainable stuff like this?

[@Palmroxx]

Namco had to rename the series as Calibur because they were sued by a company called Edge Games that also sued EA for Mirror's Edge and Edge Magazine, the legendary gaming magazine and website. They never made games, just sued game companies that used the name Edge. A patent/trademark troll company. But yeah, EA destroyed them a few years ago when they went after Mirror's Edge. Best thing EA has ever done, right? Edge Games and the guy behind it caused a lot of misery for gaming.

[@ryandemerchant1241]

then why did They not go with soul blade?

[@YaroLord]

@@ryandemerchant1241 i suppose because it sounds a lot more generic than soul calibur... every person who hears the word "calibur" relates it to "excalibur" the legendary weapon, and immediately thinks "where have i heard that before, it sounds familiar"

[@marlonmontelhiggins8570]

It's a good thing that that happened. That guy can take a nosedive into a wood chipper, for all that I care.

[@StriderVM]

@@ryandemerchant1241 Because there's no "Edge" with that name.

[@ThisIsFinalRound]

Nice vid man! I like how your content has evolved from mere showcase of old game footage to where you are now! Keep it up! - Loyal long time subscriber

[@KaiTenSatsuma]

Wait, Soul Blade was "easier"? Are you kidding me? How many times did I get murdered by Cervantes and Soul Edge? Christ XD

[@JacOfArts]

That's until you get to Voldo in Mitsurugi's edge master mode. The game isn't analog compatible so it's very difficult to enter a successful critical edge on that little shit

[@ryandemerchant1241]

you haven't seen hard soul blade Untill Your do the No Blocking challenge

[@ryandemerchant1241]

@@FGC_Raban I was first tired and second auto correct being dumb again

[@JacOfArts]

I know I came here a couple years ago, but I should probably mention that maybe it’s because I’m a competitive person, and games are noticeably easier than they were back in those days, but I didn’t die too many times to Cervantes and Soul edge, but if and when I did, what else did I expect? They’re the final bosses of the game.

[@briggstristan3724]

A tip: watch movies at flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

[@julesdedoro1216]

Bad Ending Siegfried as Nightmare is playable

[@JacOfArts]

13:00 well in all fairness, "Mitsurugi" literally just translates to "Sword" or "Blade" in Japanese, so maybe Tanegashima is really the rifleman's name

[@tobylanglois3698]

It probably is.

[@Elenwood3]

Greetings, Matt! I have been here since your Mk deception secret characters video, I actually still watch it! I am glad to be subscribed to such a magnificent KZbinr, keep up the good work!

[@spzer2557]

This game has been my fucking childhood

[@kelvinmeneely3116]

Tylorova play ye....!?!?m?m? Aaaaahhhhhh.!

[@yournamehere004]

I've been playing SC5 a lot lately, but I've always loved the original SB/E. I went back and started playing it and am working through edge master mode again. In all these years, this is the first time i've ever seen the cheat characters. thanks for the vid.

[@yoshimallow]

13:56 this is just Sophitia with a Health Regen buff, hence why she's somewhat Turquoise. Magenta is when you are poisoned and slowly lose health, and Yellowish-Orange means only Juggles can damage you. There is another (and might I add, annoying as hell) buff that Makes you immune to Everything except Critical Edges, but it doesn't seem to have a Color associated with it.

[@jordanpeterson5038]

Wow so there were more characters and costumes I wasnt aware of. Thanks for sharing the knowledge

[@LendriMujina]

"No matter how strong that rifle is, it is no match for my sword!" "Okay. What about the ramrod?" "wait what"

[@DUFFYISBACK]

Thankyou for this video, this is exactly what I've been looking for.

[@luigiclone]

codes for version 1.0 (game disc has colorful artwork on it) P2 controls edgemaster mode enemies: dooc2bf8 0001 800c2bf8 0000 Enable 13 fighters not normaly accessable: (do not use botsu lilong he will crash the game) For this code to work you must have a ALL the other charecters unlocked!!! (soul edge (aka soulblade), han myong, sophitia!, sophitia!!, and sigfreid!) 800EA48C 0018 800EA490 0018 50000E01 0001 300A21FF 000C When i find time I will rehack it for the 1.1 version (game disc is silver with no fancy artwork on it)

[@flashn00b]

I still think that the Scuba Diver should've been in Tekken 7 as Nightmare

[@tobylanglois3698]

Maybe in Tekken 8.

[@kaiserruhsam]

@@tobylanglois3698 maybe in tekken 9

[@andresantonio3339]

Love your vids and this game. Thanks for the content!

[@scareprankcreepypasta6716]

i think siegfrieds Bad ending is a pre-version of nightmare

[@keke555788]

Scareprank creepypasta it is

[@sternj4314]

great stuff mate,nice to see you making more of this kind of video again =]

[@Carnaje3sang]

I love SoulBlade no body beats me good game SoulBlade > Tekken

[@JacOfArts]

Dude when I was about 10 years old, I went to ITZ with a few friends and I saw an SCIII arcade cubby, I spent four hours on the damn thing and had to swipe my card for it only three times. A lot of the guys that challenged me and were older than me always thought my dad was doing it because he was hunched over watching me play the game and completely kicking these guys' asses with Yun Seong, my brother was my best match though

[@Mister_Dollz]

I do hope that, if the Soul Calibur series continues, Seong Han Meyong continues to be in the series, to be there for his daughter.

[@jeriahross7879]

Matt, it's very cool when I have high hopes on the new Soul Calibur 3 not-available-to-play character documentary with the same thing like your previous documentary. Boy, I wish you'll enhance the new documentary for 720-60fps.

[@KingJaeTV]

Nicely done. Didnt know some of these hidden characters.

[@MattJ155]

Thanks King Jae!

[@guillaumejuillard8258]

woooow the king is here, amazing

[@cap4761]

Bro i played it as a lil kid and im gonna play it in the Future

[@CFootprints]

If only 10 year old me knew this.

[@mrwilko20]

Some of these game clips are clear as crystal what are you playing it on??

[@jfk6924]

The secret characters are cool and mysterious. Especially Diver.

[@justinheadley9453]

I unlocked all of these characters except mabochie and that glowing sophitia...didn't even know that version of sophitia was playable at all! Can you provide gameshark values for them thanks

[@WalterWhite-wz5pg]

I'm pretty sure there is also a glowing green mitsurugi and there might be all the other characters that glow green.

[@yoshimallow]

That just means they regen health. Pay attention to Simulacrum Sophitia's Health 13:55

[@franjogutierrez2621]

Cool video. Thank you for sharing

[@osaka_daioh]

Hey there MattJ155! Was watching your video here, and I don't know if you are going to do more informative videos, but I wanted to give you abit of editing tips. You have some great information here! But the pace of it could be quicker. Alot of times you seem to tell us the information, but then let the match play out. I don't think you need to show alot of the character too much and just leaving the gameplay on it's own, as we are mostly here to learn about these secret characters or details. Also your audio is low at times, noticable when you are talking over when characters are doing their winning animations, and you can hear the announcer also. I would blank out audio from the game itself unless it's needed so it makes it easier to hear you if you intended for us to listen to you than the game itself. Just some general tips. Again, good information here! Presentation just needs some more work.

[@DGneoseeker1]

Why in the world can you play as the DIVER? I mean, that character shouldn't even have normal animations seeing as they only swim in a cutscene.

[@LendriMujina]

Sophitia clone. (She has a lot of those throughout the series, doesn't she? Before Lizardman, Cassandra, and Pyrrha Omega, there was Random Diver. =p)

[@feddler2493]

I prefer Pyrrha Omega, she seemed more vicious than Sophitia in terms of fighting, probably because of SoulEdge

[@2024jaijaifusion]

tekken seeries soul series, is best in psx console , best resolution , a cleaner image, than arcade versions , 😉👌🌟

[@piotrm2999]

Great video. Wow I played as a 6 yr old kid the title on arcade I didnt realise the details about colors and costumes. Thanks man. Hope the series will be great again like soul edge and soul calibur was - everything else is a total disaster - as for characters and the game plot.

[@UNCKIE_NPC]

Outstanding. I would love to know what you are using to play the game and how do you acsess cheats to play as those characters

[@jeriahross7879]

Matt, what month will the Soul Calibur 3 secret character documentary is going to be released on your video channel?

[@laharl2k]

interesting, even though i've played it a long time ago and unlocked all the costumes it never occurred to me to that it could have secret debug stuff. It would be interesting to grab the debugger version of pcsx and see why does it crashes when loading that secret character. Maybe the data is just missing or they changed something in the engine and that one never got updated and ended up breaking. If the data is still there and it just doesnt work, it could be extracted and displayed on a pc. But if there's been theories and stuff, i doubt no one has thought of that already.

[@2024jaijaifusion]

this gamne is best graphical 1994 , 1995, since,, is perfect 3d without prerrendered backroounds,😉👌🌟

[@jeriahross7879]

Matt, it seems that Botsu Li-Long is an unusal mystery character whom you and I cannot describe his appearance, and it is said that it also glitches on the "Now Loading..." part of the game, whom he cannot be accessed, correct?

[@jeriahross7879]

Matt, can you do a documentary video about the not-available-to-play characters on Soul Calibur 3?

[@jeriahross7879]

cool

[@blainesjustchillin3509]

Soul Edge was so broken in the consoles PvP, my little siblings hated me xD

[@sterlingnimbus1]

Mind blown!!!

[@filipepinto4969]

Love Soul Blade . Good Video Tho

[@nemesisprime2993]

mitsurugi could sure do back with some of does 4&5 strings combos

[@TheSenileFeline]

The background music is much too loud, and I can barely hear what you're saying because of it. Good video nevertheless.

[@DJ_Killa]

Hey Matt, you might not remember but a while ago I was subscribed to you and I'm a big fan. I especially like all your soul Calibur stuff, and I was asking about night terror and junk haha. Great vid, classic soul edge. I never played but I have soul Calibur 1 on my iPad cost me $15 or in that range. Keep up the good work and if you got free time check out my vids. This is a long comment

[@nemesisprime2993]

I am fan and always be....and now it upgrade to SC.....I would like to see the edge master combos come back....but as a super or button command pressing.

[@Randolph_]

For the longest time, i thought Bongu was a girl.

[@langbo9999]

i owe SOULBLADE for the PS1.

[@ripmowt]

taki had another costume. lime green and short i remember

[@DTSsince2016]

I played SoulBlade first, then SoulCalibur afterwards!

[@88swordmaster]

2:45 the house has a face XD

[@justinheadley9453]

What codes are you using to unlock them on gameshark? Does it unlock all the characters. How did you get manochie and glowing sophistic?

[@MattJ155]

For most characters, I used a character modifier code. For Bogus Cervantes and Glowing Sophitia, I used a code which lets you play as the computer's character.

[@Angry0Us3r]

So fuckin better graphics and animation than T1 and T2... shock

[@MDKGunner]

Correct me if i'm wrong but at 13:45 wasn't that his rifle that you were using?

[@Ifritlordofire]

MDKGunner Yes, he's using his rifle as a sword.

[@MDKGunner]

Thought as much :D

[@YoshiCookie]

How many secret characters are there?

[@Reayashin]

Very interesting lol.

[@jonniefast]

anything unlockable on the arcade pcb? namco likes to hide stuff on some of their games

[@jonniefast]

YAY i have version 2 😍

[@alexhiggins7307]

Cervantes is the daddy!

[@Ekraelum]

Why does diver exists she doesn't fit in the medieval setting at all

[@MattJ155]

She's from Souledge's ending. The ending shows Souledge (the sword) being lost in the sea during the time the game was set, and then discovered hundreds of years later, by the diver, in modern times.

[@KiyokaMakibi]

Beware the diver!

[@bidibidibombom7306]

I always hated Sigfried's moans.

[@DGneoseeker1]

Also Sophitia. There are a few characters who make utterly ridiculous noises.

[@tobylanglois3698]

ROCK.

[@2024jaijaifusion]

arcade versions very much pixelated and sawtooth ,,tkk and soul,, series, psx1 console very best smoothing,,,

[@andybrummel5555]

i challenge anyone to this game. I am unbeatable my skills are top tier I only have one rival in the world.

[@EMPERORAFRO]

[@speedycarter1995]

how do i get the cheats for this?

They are available @ gamehacking.org

[@jurassicgamesreloaded5339]

Nada haver essa versão

[@soviet_dio2235]

thats Soul Calibur

[@JacOfArts]

Soul calibur is the same as soul blade and soul edge

[@briannabombshell1921]

Why'd they change the name of it so much ??
