- TRIVIA -
Released in July 1998.
Soul Calibur adopted the 'Tekken-style' of character unlock, with a huge hidden roster that was unlocked by leaving the game on for months... It is common knowledge that you can tell the age of a modern Namco fighting game by counting characters, and this is one of only two arcade ones that you could measure still after a year (The other is "Tekken Tag Tournament").
The Soul Calibur of the title is used by Xianghua during her final battle. It replaces her sword right before the fight against Inferno.
Bandai Music Entertainment released Soul Calibur Original Soundtrack (APCG-9006) on October 21, 1999.
Michael Jackson used to own this game. It was sold at the official Michael Jackson Auction on Apr. 24th, 2009.

WIP:
- 0.142u2: f205v, Smitdogg, The Dumping Union and smf added clone Soul Calibur (US, SOC13/VER.C). Changed parent description to 'Soul Calibur (World, SOC14/VER.C)' and clones 'Soul Calibur (SOC13/VER.B)' to 'Soul Calibur (US, SOC13/VER.B)' and 'Soul Calibur (SOC14/VER.B)' to 'Soul Calibur (World, SOC14/VER.B)'. Renamed (soulclbrb) to (soulclbrwb), (soulclbrb2) to (soulclbrub) and (soulclbrj) to (soulclbrjc).
- 19th April 2011: Smitdogg - We bought or borrowed the following: Soul Calibur (SOC13/Ver.C).
- 15th April 2011: f205v, Smitdogg and The Dumping Union dumped Soul Calibur (SOC13/Ver.C).
- 0.136u4: Guru added clone Soul Calibur (SOC14/VER.B). Renamed (soulclbrb) to (soulclbrb2).
- 28th February 2010: Guru - Soul Calibur (SOC14 Ver.B, Namco 1998) arrived a couple of days ago from Smitdogg. Thanks to Smitdogg and the DU for acquiring/sending these out.

- 0.129: Olivier Galibert fixed Soul Calibur - Game now playable.
- 3rd January 2009: smf - Divide and conquer: It's not often that I blog about other people's work, but there have been a couple of recent discoveries that are quite interesting. The one that will probably generate the most excitement is Olivier Galiberts recent discovery of "why Soul Calibur doesn't work". The amount of hours putting in to figure it out, compared to the small change required must have set a new record.

- 20th September 2006: Dumping Project - Purchased Soul Calibur (Alt version). Thank go to the fivepeople who recently donated after the last request. A special thanks goes to Kevin.
