Goodmorrow everyone, Silvershire here and welcome to my channel! Here you'll find let's plays and compilations of my favorite video games (mostly Soulcalibur) as well as the occasional comedy skit. I hope you enjoy your stay, and until next time, I bid thee farewell.

Great video. Not many people realize that the 2011 Japanese tsunami had a major detrimental impact to SCV’s development. People often blame the dev’s for SCV feeling rushed and incomplete, but they really should be blaming Mother Nature.
Thank you!
Im still playing soul calibur 6 to this day and i enjoy it alot
What are you still doing in the game that you find fun, if I may ask?
Ashlotte was confirmed canon earlier in SCV too, she was the one who brought back Astaroth's core to the cult after Maxi killed him which was used to make the mass-produced Astaroths.
Also, IIRC, there's a Broken Destiny-era character relationship chart that confirmed that the SCIV bonus characters are canon. Incidentally, both Olcadan and Edge Master sensed Angol Fear and were prepared to deal with her, but she left the planet before anything happened.
I knew Scheherezade was on the relationship chart, but I didn't know about the others. And I forgot all about the Ashlotte plot in SCV! Thanks for the info
The great thing about Angol Fear is that Keroro Gunsou’s tone is wildly different compared to soul calibur. It’s like if Tekken included an Invader Zim character
“This is a gross representation of the Soul Calibur series” yeah they should have went with the Ivy outfit that consists mostly of strings 💀
26:25 If I wanted to be SUPER generous, I always assumed the Catching Sophitia bathing scene was a reference to her Greek aesthetic; there's a Greek myth of some dude (I think he gets struck blind or turned into a donkey or something weird) creeping on a nymph bathing in a stream.
it was the myth of Actaeon where the hunter named Actaeon, saw the goddess Artemis bathing she turned into a deer. His hunting hounds killed him
I'm surprised there wasn't more trivia about costumes and weapons, like Cassandra with Valkyrie no Boken, Sophitia and Tower of Druaga, or even Mitsurugi and Haohmaru.
Not even something like Harada himself being in SCV as an NPC you fight.
I guess that stuff is more surface-level?
Well, I had to draw the line somewhere. There’s a ton of SC trivia out there, and this is already one of the longest vids on the channel.
Its a shame that there's no reference of Calcos, the Oblivion Knight.
For those who don't remember, Calcos(yep,just like Aeon's surname) was the boss of a dungeon filled with lizardmen in SC2's Weapon Master Mode
Would’ve made sense if they put Lizardman into the game, due to the lizardman race being an option and in one of the stories you fight a lizardman using lizardman’s fighting style
There’s also a complete set of Lizardman armor worn by some CaS that can’t be accessed by the player. It really feels like he was planned to be included and got cut late in development.
amazing video, this scratched a huge lore itch ive been having lol. honestly you could probably make a whole half hour video just about acht and the servants of souledge. we have information about zwei in the johan greatblade library entry and we even have information about vier in the "sword of the inquisitor" library entry. we know that sechs also exists but we have no description of them as far as i can tell. my guess is that sechs will be the servant of azola just like how zwei is the servant of durer. and ALSO if you read about the great wolf in the sc6 library, you get to read a description of him that sounds awfully familiar to ein 👀 i am SO excited to see what happens with the servants of souledge
I seen Bayonetta and immediately clicked this cause I really wanna know the context.
Lol I was lucky that some Bayonetta news came out right before my Bayonetta-related video… That’s why I put her front and center in the thumbnail
Huh just found your channel. Didnt know there was someone who cared about fighting game lore as much as me. Especially when it comes to my favorite fighting game soulcalibur.
Welcome to the channel! It’s a shame there’s not more fighting game lore content, but at least that means there’s a niche for me to fill.
I don't even know if there is any obscure trivia about the Chronicles of the Sword SCIII mode, but I would love to have heard some haha
Good video! I already knew most of the secrets but some were quite interesting that I didn't knew. thanks for the information.
hey bro nice video, very fun and informative. I really wish we got that season 3 for VI but whatever, the soul still burns! Cheers!
Grteat video!! Also I wish they would start making SC7 already
Awesome video, can u do some videos about the lore and curiosity about the characters developments?
Thank you! That’s definitely something I could do. Is there something specific you’d like?
Besides Polecalibur you can play Soulcalibur II with the Donkey Konga Bongo I tried it.
No mention of the SC1 Guest Character that got cut? Or the female Edgardo from the same book as the one you got Headless Frederick from?
Also Taki and Pyrrha were also in Queen's Gate
I didn’t want the video to go on forever; I had to draw the line somewhere
Amazing iceberg. Always thought Soul Caliber has some of the most interesting trivia and lore in fighting games. Now will you excuse me, I will have to sue you for stealing my Smash joke that I made back in my Klonoa Iceberg video. "Just Kidding"
Hellbound was written by Masta Ace, Eminem is one of two guest rappers, but in the days of Kazaa/Limewire/ect was labeled as an Eminem song. It's one of his best verses in his whole career, and he don't remember doing it.
In the last Witcher book based on chronological order of events (Lady of the Lake) Ciri ends up in universe similar to Soulcalibur so I see connection but to make Geralt so important to make it canon and on main cover brings joy and some negative emotions since I see game is not selling well how it deserves to sell.
I hope season 3 soul calibur 6 will come
That would be amazing, but unfortunately, the game is all but confirmed as done at this point. It’s been almost an entire year since the last DLC, and Motohiro Okubo recently left Namco.
You forgot about the Soul Calibur 2 statues made by McFarland toys that agreement got spawn in the game Todd also designed Necred but solid vid
Thanks
The series also features sweaty ridiculously ripped men in loin cloths or very tight pants 😂
Not that I’m complaining, I appreciate the eye candy and it’s still pretty tame compared to some of the DOA costumes 😂
maybe Setsu and Seidou can appear future games, hopefully
It’s possible! VI includes a lot of super deep cuts to obscure Soulcalibur lore that I figured would never be referenced again
seidou is actually canon! you can read about him in the new legends of project soul artbook. if i remember correctly, hes an imperial samurai from ryukyu who wants maxi arrested. youll find his name mentioned in one of those artbook relationship charts
_everybody gangsta till someone said : “where talim?” Or “where tf is talim?”_
Also just a small rant but i hate that they made viola canon in sc6. Shes the most pathetic excuse of a soulcal character next to zwei. Both of them show the worst aspects of V. Especially from a story aspect as memory loss implemented that way is so lazy. And it really just invalidated all of amys character progression. I hope that since 6 is a different timeline that viola only exists in that different timeline and doesnt actually appear again.
26:27 Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah...(Butt-Head laughter)
v). _ .)v Man, I'm lonely...
Im a big soul calibur nerd my self next to street fighter & dead or alive
If sc6's dlc names weren't throwaway, then it's quite sad. I only recently found out that there is unfinished Edgemaster's style in game files, which supposedly crashes game due to weird bugs. This makes atleast 4 dlc characters being cut so during 6's late-ish developement, sadge.
I’m heartbroken that we never got a third season of DLC
17:04 StumbleBee's video did not hold up to scrutiny after all. Read the comments. He is missing many parts of the claim like how it is possible the rumor actually got started in Soul Calibur 2 not 3.
Nintendo need a new Soul calibur Game also they also could add Link again.
I hope we get SCVII next year
That seems unlikely, but it would be awesome!
u/Cyber-Phoenix01 on Reddit has pointed me towards some proof of the Seme Com Dungeon Drururaga fact (and honestly it wasn’t all that hard to find, I’m just bad at research). I can confirm that it is a real thing.
bruh, what happened to my comment
IDK, I checked the “Held for Review” comments and I don’t see anything there. CZcams must have just glitched out. What was your comment?
@@Silvershire Same thing I said on reddit, the proof about Nightmare appearance in the CreatureCards article
Oh, my bad, I was looking at the wrong username. Now I’m twice the fool.
Obscure? What about theories? Or is that covered? Watching.
American Dad also made a reference to the series. czcams.com/video/_JkthW2qvjI/video.html
Also the known FPS Destiny reference Soul Edge the first time you get the sword you'll have it in the three elements Solar Void Arc and the solar element blade named Sol Edge
czcams.com/video/vH3q2dybXT8/video.html
That’s cool! It even sorta looks like Souledge
@@Silvershire You put a lot of hard work on your video it really deserves to go viral thank you for your great effort
this reporting needs to be tightened up.
Imagine making fun of Soul Calibur when you watch Big Bang Theory right?
Lol for real
it’s even crazier when you realize that Taki’s voice actress (Cynthia Holloway) was in one of the episodes of that show LOL
@Optimal-Megatron05 i don’t really watch the show, so i don’t know anything about it. i just discover this whole thing in Cynthia’s CZcams channel (which i subscribed to)
