about
Soul Edge (ソウルエッジ, Souru Ejji?) is the first installment in the Soul series of fighting games developed and published by Namco. It was initially released in the arcades in 1996. A couple of months later, Namco released a fixed version labeled Soul Edge Ver. II, upon the complaints of players who found the difficulty quite high and the last boss "unbeatable". Hwang (initially a palette swap of Mitsurugi for the Korean version of the game) was introduced to Japanese players with a new movelist, Cervantes became playable, Guard Impacts and Air Combos were implemented, and all the characters received upgraded movelists. The game was then ported to the Sony PlayStation and renamed Soul Blade in Europe, North America and Australia. Soul Edge has been largely overshadowed by its sequel, Soulcalibur, which has been the moniker of the series since 1999.
