Link in Soul Calibur II: Your opinion?

[T3]

Did you think it was a good choice to take Link, and put him in a third-party game?

I thought it was a great idea. Let's take a lead character from a first-party franchise, and see how a third-party company renders them.

Oh great, now I will have to do extensive research to see what they are doing to my pore link...

I like the idea, will have to play this game

From what I've read he sticks out a lot, but pretty much plays like Link would in a fighting game. The thing is, he's getting a bit too much publicity. Too many reviews I've read talk about how well (or badly) Link is integrated. I like Link, but it just seems too much like a gimmick for those GC owners who don't give a crap about fighting games to pick it up just to play as Link.

Soul Calibur 2 for the gamecube has been selling better than Xbox or PS2 thanks to link, he can even have a butterfly net for a weapon!!! a butterfly net!!!!! hilarious

I thought it was a good idea as long as they dont make him look like an idiot, I mean there hasnt been any fighting games beside Super Smash and SSM that you could fight as him, and in Soul Calibur its not 2d. The thought of a 3d fighting game with link has got my attention.

[Dente]

are you following me,
yes i do agree, and since you can play through the gaem while smashign buttons, but unlike som of the other chars, link has some sweat kickin moves

[ZXDarknessfalls]

Yes I am. ;D
I think links bow takes to long to draw but other than that he has some great moves.

[Dente]

we are talking about soul calibur 2, link doesn't have a bow

[ZXDarknessfalls]

Yes he does, I played the game for the first time at I forgot were and I shot someone with a bow.
