'''''Soulcalibur II''''' (ソウルキャリバーII, Sōrukyaribā Tsū?) is a fighting game developed and published by Namco and the third installment in the Soul series. Soul Calibur  is the name of the holy sword, created to battle the evil sword Soul Edge, which the games' story-lines revolve around. The home version of the game features Heihachi Mishima from Tekken, Link from The Legend of Zelda, Spawn from the comic book series by Todd McFarlane, and Necrid, a new character created by Todd McFarlane. Each of the first three characters is exclusive to one of the three consoles the game was ported to the [[Nintendo GameCube]], PlayStation 2, and Xbox, respectively, while Necrid is present in all three home versions.

===NTSC Version Broken===
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
Please note that tests and recommendations below refer to the PAL version of the game, the NTSC version of the game does not run at all (as of {{revision|7423}}).
 
=== Missing Lens Flares ===
Since at least {{revision|5.0}}, lens flares may not appear when the sun is in the background of certain stages. This can be fixed by unchecking "Store EFB Copies to Texture Only" in graphics configuration. See {{issue|10475}}.
 
=== <s>Missing Fade Effects</s> ===
Fade-in effects for the game's title screen, as well as fade-in, fade-out transitions between matches in arcade mode, are missing. See {{issue|8429}}. Fixed by {{revision|5.0-7151}}.

Runs fine, no visible glitches, sounds is crystal, however, experiences slowdowns and regularly drops downwards of ~41FPS depending on how much is going on on-screen. NTSC version tested.

Graphics and cutscenes/replays all look great and in-game after one or two matches of minor stutter it stabilizes out to a smooth 100% consistently.
