Xianghua squeals this cryptic line in glee shortly after kicking your ass in the game, usually by poking you in the foot with her blade while you were in the middle of some crazy combo requiring much more skill. Her statement is a microcosm of life. Yes, we all want to believe that justice will prevail, and we live our lives under such a premise -- but she is here to remind us, with an OJ Simpsonian premonition, that justice is sometimes elusive in this world. Bravo, Xianghua, bravo.
Now, to be fair, in the Dreamcast version of Soul Calibur she actually says, "Seigi wa katsu ... nanchatte!" and "Justice will prevail" isn't an exact translation. I believe a more literal translation is "Don't you want to just lick me up and down like a popsicle?"
At least, that's what I hear.
2. No Matter How Good Life is Going, Someone Can Always Cheese You Out of the Ring
I'm glad that a lot of kids play video games, because this is an important life's lesson that needs to be drilled into our brains early. You could be flying high. Life can be going great. Maybe you just bought a new couch. You're thinking, "I got me a new couch. It's got one of those big ends and one of them small ends. I'm set. Life is GREAT." And that very next day you'll go into work and in a big meeting in front of the boss someone will accuse you of making a deadline slip. Suddenly, you're not looking good for that bonus. Suddenly, you're working until 11 PM that night. You've just been knocked out of the ring, baby.
I would like to suggest that from now on, whenever this happens, you should be allowed to react as you would in Soul Calibur. That is, in the big meeting, you should be able to leap out of your seat and yell, "CHEESE!" Then, you can demand a rematch.
3. Calling "Nexties" Is Law
The world would devolve into anarchy if we as a people didn't respect calling "Nexties." Imagine the line at the bank.
Now when you play Soul Calibur in the arcades, you call Nexties by placing your quarter on top of the machine. Everyone respects that. I mean, it's not written into the constitution or anything, but it's definitely amendment material.
4. Winner Stays, Loser Pays
You never see winners paying. You never see losers staying. Except perhaps Carrot Top.
5. Never Approach a Man in a Thong, Even If His Back is Turned
This one should be instinctive, but without the hard lessons learned from playing against Voldo, you might not make the connection. You may think, "He can't see me, I think I'm safe." No. In fact, approaching a man in a thong from behind is perhaps the most dangerous way to approach thonged strangers, especially ones who hiss through bamboo tubes.
6. Never Stand Next to a Man with a Big Stick When He's Getting Up
You know what I'm talking about. Kilik. Yes, his rod was my doom.
7. Press the Right Buttons and You Can Change the Color of a Woman's Panties
This is true. The original Japanese Dreamcast versions of Soul Calibur had cheat codes to allow you to change the color of Sophitia's panties. I'll just let that sink in for a moment.
Now, when they released the game in North America, this cheat code was missing. I find that hysterical. I don't know where the line is, or who makes these judgment calls... But someone, somewhere, made the conscious decision that while it was okay for Americans to see her panties, they must always be white, and they cannot under any circumstances be user-configurable with respect to hue.
This is somebody's job.
Anyways, the truth remains that you cannot change the color of the panties in the U.S. version of the game, which helped me learn another of life's lessons: When it comes to women, you can't always get what you want.
8. "Don't Expect to Die Peacefully."
Asteroth sometimes taunts you with this line at the beginning of a match. Wise words. He also yells, "Squirm! Scream!" after walloping you. Again, more good advice. Asteroth is a font of wisdom or something. He's right: I came into this world flailing and screaming, and I intend to leave it the same way.
And finally:

And when someone comes across this thread, and thinks it's funny, then copy-pastes it to somewhere else, eventually the original creator will see it. I know I'd be pissed if I were him, and didn't see the slightest bit of accredidation. is one extra line for a name and URL too much to ask? _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

well tough cookies, I forgot to grab it. As I said, if I come acrossed it again I'll get it. If they come across it either here or there they're more than welcome to post/notify me or if it spreads elsewhere of whom actually wrote it.

You mean that when girls lose conciousness their legs automatically closes as they lay otherwise motionless?
And that swords won't cause any kind of flesh wounding, blood splatter, or laceration no matter how hard you swing them?

That's because whenever you see a thread, you post, and thus the thread doesn't die. _________________ This space left intentionally blank.
