Soulcalibur III Arcade Edition
Platforms PlayStation 2
Release Date Unknown

From the home version, the entire cast returns as playable characters except Abyss, who is now a non-playable boss character alongside Night Terror. From the 17 bonus characters only 3 make it into the arcade: Hwang Seong-gyeong, Li Long and Amy Sorel, who have been reworked and expanded into more deep playing styles. The total roster of the arcade ascends to 27 selectable characters.

The game has three different modes: a standard Training Mode, where one can train the characters' moves in a set time of 300 seconds; a Standard Mode or Classic Arcade Mode comprised of 9 battles in a row, without cut scenes or endings; and a Legends Mode, described below.

[edit] Gameplay

[edit] Legend Mode

This new mode has many similarities with Soulcalibur II Arcade-Only Conquest Mode. In this mode, the player chooses a character to use, then a legend character (which is not the chosen character) to challenge. The player then fights eight consecutive battles to gain experience and levels, facing the challenged legend character at the 5th battle, and the player's equivalent legend character at the 8th battle. As the player's character gains levels, stat points may be allocated to improve the character's innate abilities. Players gain more experience the better they perform in battle.

There are four different attributes for any given character: STR (Strength) increases the character's attack power, DEX (Dexterity) adds special effects like Auto-Guard or Guard Damage, VIT (Vitality) increases the life and survivability of the character, and LUK (Luck) increases the chances that a character might win giving it Auto-Parry, Poison or other skills.

The player's character is only temporary unless they are able to defeat the equivalent legend character and surpass their level. For example, a player chooses Siegfried and wins at the 8th battle against the Legend Character Siegfried (Level 60). Upon the defeat of the Legend Character, the player's Siegfried was able to get to Level 62. The player is prompted to enter a name for their character and the player's character replaces the old Legend Character Siegfried.

If the player defeats the Legend Character (8th Battle) but is not able to surpass their level, the options of powering up or powering down the Legend Character become available. Owners of the Legend Character would end up choosing to power up their Legend Character. Others would power down the character to make it easier to replace that Legend Character. Defeating the challenged Legend Character (5th battle) would also give options for powering up or powering down that character. Losing to the Legend Character (8th Battle) only gives the option of powering up the character. Players may also choose to do nothing and leave the character as is.

On the average, players will be able to get their character to level 60. The default Legend Characters start at level 50. Based on observation, the attribute limit is 200, and the level limit is 999.
