Again, this is another first time game for me! My first foray into the franchise was with Soul Calibur 2 (which is still one of the best fighters I have ever played).
This game was suprisignly enjoyable, the combat was fluid and fast paced although most battles lasted around 20 seconds a piece, I still found it fun!
Funnily enough, after looking this up on wikipedia I discovered that Soulcalibur 1 was actually a sequel to this, I always thought they were the same game with different names!

Soul Edge (ソウルエッジ Sōru Ejji?) is a 1995 3D arcade fighting game developed by the team Project Soul[3][4] and published by Namco. It is the first installment in the Soul series of fighting games. An upgraded and expanded version of the game was ported to the Sony PlayStation later that same year. Namco chose to use the title Soul Blade in Europe, North America and Australia; following Soul Edge's sequel, Soulcalibur, subsequent installments in the franchise have all been released under the title of Soulcalibur, by which the franchise is now most commonly known. The game was a commercial and critical success.
Soul Edge is the second 3D fighting game to feature characters that fight with weapons (the first being Battle Arena Toshinden), although putting weapons in fighters was not a new concept (Samurai Shodown is a notable example of a 2D fighter with weapons). Apart from the aesthetic benefits, giving the characters weapons allows for a greater diversity between them.
