Soul Calibur 2 Hints
VERY Valuable Tip
Looking for that weapon that you just can't find? or that piece of clothing that you fell in love with but didn't have enough money for, then got enough and went back only to find that it was GONE!?!?Well, I have an answer to your problem! In weapon master mode, every sub-chapter and chapter ALL have different items in their shops! Everyone's 2nd best weapons are in the chapter after sub-chapter 4! "But how do I get there!?" you ask? well just finish all of the extra missions in Merak (it's one of the chapters)!

How To Get Soul Caliber
Beat weapon master once and then play extra mission Phantom Cave. (in chapter 8) You then should unlock Subchapter 4(PROCYON)Take the easiest or shortest way to Lynx Arbor then go down a chapter to the extra chapter 2(CEPHEUS) Here press start and go to shop and it should have all the Soul Calibers.**NOTE: FOR ME IT HAD A LOT OF WEAPONS BUT ONLY TALIM'S SOUL CALIBER WAS THERE I THINK THE OTHER WEAPONS ARE EQUIVALENT TO THEIR SOUL CALIBER (meaning all the characters swords are their but they have different names)**

Easier Ring-Outs
Ok this isn't that much of a cheat, but here goes. ok when your playing weapon master, you have to get a ring out in order to win. ok so if you want easier ring outs, (with link) charge your opponent to the edge and do anything to make your opponent fall. once he does that...press right on the c-stick, and link will pull out a bomb, press it again and he'll throw the bomb, and if your close enough, your opponent should fall...
and hers a little tip for an opponent that is aggressive after he falls. press c-stick left, and link will pull out his bow and arrow. that should slow your opponent down, then if your winning and want to waste time...back up and let him charge you, and fire a bow. o yea if he's up-close and aggressive, but u have a little time, use a bomb

Demonic and Legendary Weapon Wielding
To get a demonic or a legendary weapon for any character, first unlock the extra chapters Castor and Cephus. Go to Castor and in the shop you will be able to purchase the Soul Edge for any and every character (these are demonic weapons). Go to Cephus for the Legendary weapons. Some characters get the Soul Calibur while others get other just as good weapons (ex.- Nightmare gets Soul Calibur; Raphael gets Queen's Guard).
Bug Boom
Bug booms are sweet. You must be link first and make all your stages 0/10. The buy all weapons except for links weapons. Get spawn by beating weapon master mode with nightmare. (don't lose a life). Then play with spawn and fail the first stage 5 times. Get every characters profile and do links attack number 2 sound 10 times. Beat Inforno at stage 10 1 with bombs only. After their will be a new feature. You unlocked links bug booms. They can't miss and they stay on their enemy until the enemy dies. (They blow up every 5 seconds) Bug out boys

Easy Experence and Money
In the Weapons Master part of the game in the first level, where u are trying to prove yourself, just keep losing the battles by letting the time run out and u will get 100 money and experience each time. This is a good trick if u believe in being prepared for future fights.

Defeat Long Range Fighters
Ok so when you're against some long range fighters like Ivy, Klik, and Sueng Mina use a fast character like taki, Voldo, Maxi and so on. So when they wind up for an attack constantly move to the side and right after they've finished it move in for some powerful combos
Submitted By: VolcanicFighter
Easy win against Necrid
This hint is very simple. When you are fighting Necrid and you want to beat him fast then you have to follow these steps: first your character has to go to the end of the ring. Second, Necrid might do a quick attack when he does a spinning attack in the air. this attack goes through your character) Since you are at the end of the ring, he will kill himself by getting a ring out.
note: you might want to make him lay down before you do this move because he does this move even if you're a little far away from him.
Taunts
To do different taunts after you select a character and the level is loading just press A, B, Y, or X to say different things.

links move list (and more)
If you read alot all my hints/codes are long but this one i'll try to make short.
Links moves (from the right):
trip and bow stance: diagonally down, towards +Y(hold) (needless to say this trips them if you lucky and you shoot them while there down)
stab charge: back back y+x if you hold it you run and keep stabbing them(hint might want to use soul charge for best results)
elbow then knock down: back+x then a (hint when there down soul charge or don't then try a powerful attack)
non-stop poking: forward+x, then press x rapidly (if you lucky he'll stab them and they fall)
SSBM tornado uppercut (super smash bros. melee): A+up (do it when they get up)
Slice uppercut then bow(this one takes alot of practice): you press up up, or down down really fast then Y and hold and time it right and shoot in front of you when they fall down.(really hard)

Beat Weapon Master with Nightmare without losing a single life. After you beat it, It will say new feature unlocked and it will show a clip of Nightmare morphing into Spawn.
