Soul Calbur 2 Characters
[Gamecube, PS2, Xbox]

Taki
Discipline: Musoh-Battoh-Ryu
Weapon: Ninja Swords (Rekki-Maru and Mekki-Maru)

Story: Once part of a ninja clan, she soon realized that one of her swords, Mekki-Maru, was starting to emit an evil aura. Fearing that her master would take it away from her, she fled. After finding out about Soul Edge, she sought to find the sword, and destroy both it and Mekki-Maru by pitting them against each other. I was actually somewhat intrigued by this story, so it’s a definite plus for Taki.

Character Model: I’m too much of a gentleman to go into detail, but she must have a good chiropractor with the elephants she’s dragging around. A little unsettling, honestly. Other than that, she looks that part of a ninja.

Fighting: Not really much of a style, more of a "You press A, and I’ll do the work. Just sit back and watch me jiggle." She’s a fairly good fighter, and has excellent defense. A good start if you’re a newbie or a button masher.

Weapon Variety: Nice designs, but they mostly play the same. Once you get Soul Calibur, you kind of forget she even has other weapons. Overall, if Taki was less of a cheap character and had better weapon variety, she easily would have been a top character for me. Unfortunately, this was not to be, and she’ll get a 7.5/10.

Taki’s Score: 7.5/10
