Hint: Move Camera

When viewing the replay after a fight, press the (B) button to switch which character the game camera is focusing on. You can then pan around and zoom in or out on the character that just lost.

Hint: Slow and Fast Replay

To slow down the action during replay simply hold Left trigger. To speed it
up, hold right trigger.

Note: if the camera is moving while either trigger is held, it will stay in
motion until trigger is released. This is best displayed in practice mode.

Hint: Copy Save Game File

To copy the save game file for Soul Calibur from the original VMU to another, boot the game with the save you want copied and then enter a battle with any character. When the battle begins pause and then swap the original VMU with the destination VMU and then quit out from the pause menu. Upon quitting a new save will be written to the same VMU slot with the original intact on the original VMU. This may work with many games as SEGA made VMU's hot-swappable.

Hovering (glitch)

This is a glitch, but to hover you must go to practice mode.

1. Select Cervantes

2. Kilik as CPU

3. Use Cervantes catch move (upper cut him and press down and Y---doesn't
apply if you change controller settings)

4. Right before Kilik hits the ground, pause the game.

5. Go to instant replay.

6. As Cervantes finishes his move, press start to return to normal
fighting sequence.

7. When you return to the fight, Kilik will be in the air flying and you
can...CAN.....control him.

Easter Egg: Exhibition Songs

This isn't a code, but more of a cool trick that works with the game. You'll have to get a CD or MP3 of the songs mentioned, but if you play them with certain characters, the timing works out so it looks like the characters movements are going with the music. Below is a list of characters, the songs that work with them, and when to start them. Remember to put the exhibition on Loop A.

Taki - "Boom" by Bloodhound Gang, start the second you see her.

Taki - "Yoda" by Weird Al. Probably one of the better ones. Unsure of the starting time, try when you see Taki start. You'll know if you got it right.

Mitsurugi - Antonio Bandaras song at the begining of "Desperado". Start it when he starts to draw his sword.

Mitsurugi - "Asleep at the Wheel" by Bloodhound Gang. Start the song, and push A on Mitsurugi after the track has been playing for 3 seconds (while you're hearing the word "And")

Kilik - "Now You're a man," by DVDA, start it as soon as you see Kilik.

Xianghua - "Walking On The Sun" by Smash Mouth, start when she starts. This one works the best out of them all. Almost every movement times out perfectly.

Astaroth - "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life," by Monty Python. Start when he starts. The chorus should start when he starts running in a circle.

Sophitia - "Alabamba Song," by The Doors. Starting this one is awkward. It begins while her exhibition is loading. Trial and error. You'll know when you have it.
