Algol from SoulCalibur in the GA-HQ Video Game Character DB
|
Algol is the main antagonist and boss in SoulCalibur IV and its PSP Port SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny. He also returned as a quite surprise in SoulCalibur V. This guy was meant to be the most powerful character in the SoulCalibur series and uses both SoulCalibur and SoulEdge as weapons and has a lot of mighty attacks with them. As a boss in SCIV he is very easy to beat though. In SCV he has almost no impact to the story and has no own story either. Personally i had mixed feelings about his design, it reminded me a bit at Urien from Street Fighter III and i missed the stronger looking bosses like Abyss and NightTerror. His name might be a tribute to the old Phantasy Star series by Sega btw. the star system there has the name Algol too. It was mentioned by many fighting game players that Algol is overpowered in SoulCalibur V, he was even banned from many tournaments. |
