Combat is brutal, quick and handled using the bare minimum of complex thumb acrobatics - just as it is in SCIV on PS3. Instead of a focus on impossible combos and complex throws, the fighting here is about reacting to opponents moves with swift counters, or carefully selected flurries of attacks. It's tactical; it's as much an intellectual battle of wills as it is a slugfest, and this plays to PSP's strengths.
That Calibur's fighting system has altered little since the Soul series began 13-years ago is testament to just how good it is. That it's been transferred so successfully to the PSP is impressive. Die-hard fans hoping for something new will inevitably be disappointed, but even they can't fail to be impressed at just how complete and convincing a handheld title this is..."
Assassin's Creed's Ezio and The Witcher's Geralt have been excellent guest characters in the Soul Calibur series.

I've done various series on the subject. However, most of the time, the games mentioned in these articles are from wholly new or overlooked franchises themselves.
There are also a multitude of series that I can think of that have one, two, or a handful of games in it that aren't viewed as highly as the others, whether just or not.
These ideas are where the concept of All-Star Franchises, Underrated Entries comes from, and since our 13th edition, I've come up with six more underrated entries to big-time franchises, some bigger than others."
Carl Williams writes, "In video games, we don’t see too many crossover events. It is probably due to the fact that video game companies are quite litigious with each other. That is a shame, though, as it would be interesting to see more gaming crossover events that are not Super Smash Bros or a Capcom and SNK fighting game. While it was a little bit of work, we have tracked down five awesome gaming crossovers that you have forgotten about."
