I'll have to go for Soul Calibur/Soul Edge myself, Soule Edge/Blade was the first game I got for the original PS, and I didn't play anything other than that and FFVII for about a month
nothing against Tekken either, though, except Tekken 4, they tried to do too much new stuff too fast, in my opinion, and especially the fact that you canjust get pushed into a wall, and there next to nothing you can do, K.O., you lose
out of Tekken, Tag is the best so far
The characters and story is always Awsome, some of the best in fighting games. though i think soul calibur 2 was funner than tekken 4. I beleive Tekken is a far superior franchise. You get more for your money. Tekken always has numerous play modes, including tekken force. The convienance of having the moves on the pause menu is also a plus. Tekken always release a solid game that slightly or entirely reinvents itself. example...tekken tag. We had to wait years for a soul calibur 2, the wait was worth it. The gameplay is smooth and fun. Again though, you are comparing tekken to soul calibur. tekken 4 came out about two years before soul calibur 2 and it is essentially the same fighting platform. Tekken is obviously a far greater franchise that offers the goods with every release. It does seem though that soul calibur is a giant to be reckoned with though, but tekken takes the victory when comparing the two
The convienance of having the moves on the pause menu is also a plus
Soul Calibur had that since soul edge/blade
Tekken always release a solid game that slightly or entirely reinvents itself. example...tekken tag
Tekken makes incremental improvements.. they've never made an entire reinvention.. in fear that tekken noobs will complain about gameplay changing too much.
tekken 4 came out about two years before soul calibur 2 and it is essentially the same fighting platform
Even compared to soul calibur 1.. tekken fails in every aspect of trying to pretend to contain any morsal of gameplay.. its just not a 'custom combo' kind of game.. you 'have' to do the combos that are given.. and you find ways to exploit them.. which results in people owning in tekken and waiting for tekken 6 to come out

to be fair, i wasnt really good with any of the characters! and for some reason, i could use seung mina, but i could use kilik, i must be some sort of retard, because there exactly the same.
im just the worst beat'em up player ever
Soul Calibur 2 is the King of 3D fighting when placed against any competitor. Followed closely by DOA The only difference in Tekken games is the graphics and characters. It's always been slow, the characters are boring and feel the same and once you've completed the special modes it ends up gathering dust in the back of a cupboard.
Soul Calibur 1 for the Dreamcast was given a complete overhaul from Soul Blade for the PS1, and SC2 was overhauled as well. The speed was incredible, each character was unique with a distinct fighting style. The Story Mode was a stroke of genius because the special conditions in matches forced you to adapt your fighting style and use different characters as opposed to using the same one all the time. The weapons were very creative (as anyone who saw the hideous eye laden biomass Nightmare called Souledge complete will tell you.) And the story was much more entertaining.
Soul Calibur 2 stands above every other 3D fighting game in every way.
