Soul Blade is the very first game in the Soul Caliber series. I guess it was Soul Blade in the arcade and became Soul Caliber years later for the Dreamcast and they decided just to go with that from then on. It's quite a classic in my opinion. That's actually why I bought it because to be honest the game play has aged a bit and there are much tighter fighting games out there now. It's still a great game to have though. Aside from being the arcade game there is also a weapons master mode in which you select a character and play out a story where you travel the land acquiring new weapons in search of the legendary Soul Blade. If you were into arcade fighting games in the 90's then you should probably have this.
