Thanks once again for the prompt reply.
lol, for Soul Calibur 4, i really hope they unlock all characters and no character banning
unlike last time during the PS3 launch (got SCIV marathon), they actually change the rules and suddenly they say the character Nightmare kena bannedÂ

 waffak man

Yeah, hopefully that won't be the case this time. I have the most fun playing Nightmare against others.
