he is too short range for me, i like him in soul edge, but i am getting ticked off with soul caiber now, i block i lose, i attack i lose, (when against a human!) i liked the weapon gauges of the first one alot better my friend is damn good with maxi. okay he doesn't stop moving. "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee " XD yeah the weapon gauges was an amazing feature. dunno why they've left it outta the game
