Alternate introduction screen
Successfully complete all Weapon Master missions.

Unlock every mode, weapon, and character to hear Sophitia say "Soul Calibur 2" at the "Press Start" screen.

Unlock everything (all characters, modes, artworks, costumes, weapons, etc.) to hear Voldo breathing strangely at the "Press Start" screen.

If you have collected enough secrets in the game, you may start hearing a character's voice saying, "Soul Calibur 2" at the title screen instead of the narrator. Normally, the character's voice you will be hearing more frequently will depend how much you use that character.

Alternate costumes
Highlight a fighter at the character selection screen and press "Guard".

Alternate stages
Some of the stages that can be unlocked in weapon master mode have alternates. To choose an alternate, highlight the desired stage and press [Right] or [Left]. Not all stages have alternates, and some have more than one.

One person demos
If you wait at the title screen, a demo fight will play. After that, rankings of players will appear on screen. Finally it will announce the word "Namco" and a random character will appear. They will do fight/dance demonstrations that range from Raphael's Spanish Flamingo to a spine twisting performance from Voldo. Some are shorter than others, and sometimes instead of showing the single character demos, the opening will repeat itself. Keep trying, and it will eventually appear.

Character statements
At the versus screen, press [A], [B], [Y], [X], [L], [R], [Z], or any direction on the [C-stick] for various optional character statements before the match.

Character profiles
To unlock profiles for any character, successfully complete arcade mode with that person.

Use the following trick to unlock the character profiles easily. First, change the options to "Character Change At Continue." Then, go to single player player arcade or extra arcade mode and choose a character that you are strong with. Then, fight your way to Inferno. Lose, then press [Start] and choose a character that you did not get a profile for. Defeat Inferno to unlock the second character's profile. Note: You cannot enter your name for the high scores when you lose.

Change character profile view
Select any character in character profiles. Once you are in his or her profile menu, tap [L] or [R] to have the character turn around. Note: Keep tapping to have him or her move in a complete 360.

Voice actor names
After unlocking a character's profile in arcade or extra arcade, enter the characters' profile. When you are at his/her profile, select "Voice". Once in this new menu, press the [L]. A small box just above the menu will appear for a few seconds, giving the name of the actor/actress who played the voice of the character.

Fight as Assassin
To unlock Assassin, you must already have weapon master mode completed once. In chapter 8, complete the stage "Crystal Mine", in both the extra and normal missions. This will open up a path to sub-chapter 3. The second mission in sub-chapter 3 is called "Castle Of The Damned". Since you hav already completed the game once, you will have an extra mission for "Castle Of The Damned", in which your opponents are faster. You must defeat the enemies, who are (in this order): Voldo, Ivy, Yoshimitsu, Taki, and Assassin. Complete the level to unlock Assassin. He is available in all two player modes except for arcade and extra arcade. He is also available in practice and extra practice modes.

Lizardman will only be available in two player team battle mode, versus mode, extra versus mode, and basically any mode that involves two players. The only single player mode he is in is practice mode. Lizardman does not have a move list, but most of his grapple moves are similar to Nightmare's.

Hints
Easy money
After successfully completing chapter 1, return to the training area (the first mission) and complete training again. Almost every time, you will get between 300 to 500 experience points, and between 300 and 600 gold.

Go to the gambling fight with the bonus for each hit landed on the opponent.

Go to the level where you must face four people and get a bonus. This will be stated at the top where the article is located. Land as many hits as possible (Talim is recommended). You will receive about 28,000 gold.

In weapon master mode, go to chapter 9 (Algol). In the second stage is a tournament where you can get a bonus of 1,000 to 2,000 gold per hit. You will fight three to five enemies. By the time you win, you will gain between 20,000 to 35,000 gold. You can keep repeating this strategy until you get the desired amount of goal. This is best done the first time you play, as it will get increasingly difficult in the later times that you play.

To gain a lot of money in a short time, go to the options screen and set the game to the "Easy" difficulty setting and the time to be infinite. Then, with any character, complete the game. After doing this, you automatically get 1,000 gold. Continue this as long as needed. This is also an easy way to unlock character's biographies in "Museum" mode.

In weapon master mode, go to Chapter 9, Algol, and go to stage 2, Ancient Amphitheater. Do not do the extra mission if you cannot survive with it blowing up. Fight the people there. If you are skilled, you might get from 20000 to over 30000 gold.

Regaining health
When you are in a dungeon and do not regain full health back after a battle, just go to the first square in it and fight there. You will start at full health again.

Higher ranking titles
Rankings are based on experience in edge master mode. A good level to earn fast experience is Er Rai. It is in extra chapter 2 (Cepheus). For example, 500,000 experience earns you level 77, Grand Edgemaster Of The Basilisk.

Defeating Inferno in arcade mode
When you finally reach Inferno, the last Boss on the first arcade mode when playing as Nightmare, keep pressing [A] + [X] to do a four-hit combo to defeat him.

Defeating Voldo in weapon master mode
The first time you meet Voldo in weapon master mode you must hit him twenty times in twenty seconds. Do a ring out; even if you only have hit him less than nineteen times, you will pass.

Easy ring outs
Get your opponent to the edge of the ring as Nightmare. Do a back and vertical slash. Your opponent will fly into the air and fall out of the ring.

With any character, press [Forward] + "Low Kick".

Ivy: Easy wins
Go near the edge of the stage (with your back facing it) and have your opponent follow you. Use Primal Dominance ( [A] + [G] ) for instant ring outs. If your opposition does not fall off but is close to the edge (this time with his/her back facing it), use Rising Mind Shatter ( [Up] + [K] ) to send them off.

Kilik: Easy wins
In weapon master mode, choose either the Kunloon Bamboo Rod or Jingu Rod. Only use horizontal attacks in the battle. When you have hit your opponent on the ground, run towards them. Even when you reach them, keep running forward. When your opponent starts to get up, press [A] while still holding [Forward]. This will catch your opponent off-guard almost every time, and will keep hitting them to the ground. Keep repeating this and they will never have a chance to hit you.

Link: Easy wins
Do Link's throw near the edge ( [A] + [B] ) in weapon master mode for an automatic win.

Get close to your opponent and do your grab move ( [A] + [B] ). When the enemy is down, get next to him. When he is getting up, keep doing the grab move. When he is up, if you are still doing the grab move he will not have time to attack or block. Keep doing this until you defeat your opponent.

Note: This tip is most effective against CPU opponents. At the start of a fight, press [A] + [B] to throw your opponent into the air. While they are airborne, press [Up] + [Y] to attack your opponent while it is in the air. Once they are on the ground, repeatedly press [X] to kick them until they get up. Once they are on their feet again, repeat.

In weapon master and extra mode, equip Razor Sword or Megaton Hammer. Dash towards the opponent and press the vertical attack button and use the vertical slash. This does about one quarter damage when they are standing and one sixth damage when they are down.

This works at any ring. Select Link and go to the edge of the ring. Wait for your opponent to get close enough to use the [A] + [G] grapple and whip them out of the ring.

Link: Upper Slash
Press "Up/Forward" + [A].

Link: Trick attack
Do the move where Link does a slash and then spins around to attack their feet and keep pressing [Y].

Maxi: Auto-followups
When using Maxi, it is important to note that some attacks with the nunchuku continue after you have entered a particular command, seemingly automatically.

Nightmare: Easy wins
Do the night lower stance ( [Left] [B] + [K] ) and Earth Divide ( [Down], [Down/Right], [Right], [B] ) twice for an easy K.O.

To kill your opponent easily, use Nightmare with Soul Edge Growth or anything better. Begin running at your opponent. While running, press [B]. Nightmare will spin around and knock them onto the ground. Once you hit them down, do it again. You can kill your opponents without them even getting up.

Equip Nightmare with Glam, soul charge during the fight. and use Earth Divide. This will kill your opponent in one hit.

Raphael: Easy win
Repeatedly perform the rapid [Y] horizontal attack. This can kill all enemies except very fast ones (for example, Assassin).

When close to the edge, grab your opponent. He should be knocked off if you use the grab where he hits them multiple times with his sword.

Seung Mina: Health gain
Select Seung Mina and equip her ultimate weapon, the Hraesvelgr. While in battle, you can regain lots of health quickly with this weapon if you do her spinning staff attack. Whether it hits the opponent or not, you will gain health. Note: If you are not attacking, the weapon will drain your health, so be careful.

Taki: Strong kick combo
When you get hit first, press [L] + [R] + [Up] + [X] (Kick) together in any position. You will do a kick combo. Note: You have to get close to your opponent.

Voldo: Easy weapon master mode
Use Voldo to complete weapon master mode by running at the opponent, then press [Y] and continue this for an easy ring out. This will cut the time to completing weapon master mode in half.

Yoshimitsu: Easy wins
Use either of his frontal throws ( "BG" or "AG" ) and constantly use them until the enemy is defeated. This is especially useful for the subchapter dungeon with all of the Berzerker enemies, as most of them are at half health.

Yoshimitsu: Secret move
Tap "Analog-stick Right" (2) and quickly press "BA". He will lunge his elbow out toward the opponent. When this hits with a move counter, hold all of the buttons used. Note: You can also do the move while standing.

Yoshimitsu: Suicide
Get near the opponent then press [Down], [A] + [K].

Yunsung: Easy wins
Go to the edge of the arena and make sure your opponent's back is facing the edge. Then, press [A] + [B].

Rival selection
When you start a new game in weapon master mode, whoever you choose for the first battle will affect who your rival will be for the rest of the game. If your rival is male, then his name will be Leon. If they are female, their name will be Minerva. Below is a chart of characters and their rivals.

Predicting demo mode winner
A demo fight between two random characters will start if you allow the game to idle at the title screen. There are two ways for you to actually tell who would win before the match ends. First, the character on the left side of the versus screen will win. Second, the "losing" character will have his/her mini-profile displayed first during the fight. After the "winning" character wins, his/her mini-profile will now be displayed. Note: There is a possibility that the "winning" character will lose the fight and will suddenly make a pose as if he/she actually was the fighter who won.

Perfect practice mode
You can kill yourself in practice mode without having to ring out, resulting in a perfect for other combatant. To do this, select Yoshimitsu as the character that you are going to practice with. When the practice starts, have the opponent lay down on the ground. Next, perform Yoshimitsu's suicide attack (where he stabs himself in the stomach). Repeat this two to four times (one immediately after another) and you will die. Your opponent will get a perfect in practice mode.

Classic Zelda music
Go to the temple with the god statue in it in practice mode as Link and have your opponent be Link. You will have a 50% chance of having the classic Zelda music.

Glitch: Wrong weapon name and description
Unlock Yoshimitsu and Cervantes, and also buy the Weapon Gallery. Buy some weapons for Yoshimitsu and Cervantes then, select the "Weapon Gallery" option in the Museum. If you select one of Yoshimitsu's or Cervantes' weapons, the picture and wielder are correct, but the name and the description does not belong to that character. This also happens when you unlock Sophitia.

Glitch: Strapless shields
Go to any mode or screen that allows you to see your collected weapons (weapon gallery, weapon master, or the extra modes). You may have all the weapons for Cassandra and Sophitia. You may notice that all their shields have no arm strap, which should make you wonder how they have their shields attached to their arm in fights. The only shield that actually has an arm strap (besides Link) is Cassandra's ultimate sword and shield, Valkryie.
