help Soulcalibur III FAQ
What is Chronicles of the Sword in Soulcalibur III?
Chronicles of the Sword is a strategy-flavored campaign built around a custom fighter created in the character editor. Battles occur on a map with strongholds and branching routes, while victories unlock additional equipment, disciplines, and customization parts.
Why was Soulcalibur III initially exclusive to PlayStation 2?
Unlike Soulcalibur II, which appeared on three home consoles with different guest fighters, Soulcalibur III launched as a PlayStation 2 home title. Namco later produced Soulcalibur III: Arcade Edition with balance changes and revised gameplay.
Which new fighters debuted in Soulcalibur III?
The major new roster additions include Zasalamel, Tira, and Setsuka. Their weapons and styles are distinct: Zasalamel uses a scythe, Tira fights with a ring blade, and Setsuka uses an umbrella-concealed sword.
Why can a Soulcalibur III save affect other PlayStation 2 data?
The original release became associated with a serious memory-card corruption issue under certain save-management conditions. Players commonly avoid moving or deleting older save files after creating Soulcalibur III data and keep a separate backup card where possible.
