Thats easy to explain.Every time Inferno pulled someone into the CR, he was incomplete or was plagued by Plot Device.
The first time, when it pulled Siegfried into the CR an used Cervante's body to create Inferno, it had alreay lost half of it's power. because of this power escrepancy, an the fact that it was using a dead host, Inferno lost, and the larger of the two swords was taken by Siegfried, this is what led him to become Nightmare and triggered the Evil Seed.
The Second Time Inferno appeared, whas during the battle with Kilik, Xianghua and Maxi. Kilik and Xianghua where both armed with weapoins dewsigned speciffically to destroy the Soul Edge... Including Soul Calibur. Not to mention that soul Edge was still incomplete at this point. However, Inferno did a one up on the Trio, by Absorbing Soul Calibur before dissapearing. So Inferno lost via Plot Device.
Now, I'm not sure if Inferno ever canonically appeared in Soul Calibur 2, or if it was just Nightmare being defeated. The story says thatit was Raphael, then Siegfried that eventually sealed both swords in the soul Embrace. Raphael was in the middle of a vicious struggle with the then complete Nightmare (Still using Siegfried as a host) was about to slay Raphael, but just as he was about to make the Deathblow, Siegfried's mind woke up and struggled with the will of the Sword, this caused Nightmare to freeze in mid-motion, giving Raphael the chance to strike, and he landed a piercing blow into the Swords Eye, this freed both Siegfried and Soul Calibur from Soul Edge's grasp, then Siegfried used Soul Calibur on soul Ege, causing the Soul Embrace.
Now, out of the two confirmed times that the CR, both are attributed to either Plot conveniance, or Plot Device, since neither time was SoulEdge at full power, and the last time, Soul Ege had to fight against plot Devices...
Does this answer your question V2D?
I'm not putting up with a few insignificant fools. I think I'll just let them assume things while being stupid at the same time.
