Information AboutNight Terror (soul Calibur) |
Night Terror is a Fictional character designed for the '''''Soul'' Series''' of Fighting Games . Night Terror made his first, and for now unique, appearance in '' Soul Calibur III '' as the true final boss in ''Tales of Souls'' mode. It can be argued that storywise he is the most powerful creature to have ever existed so far. BIOGRAPHY When an action is so reckless that it will bring about one's own destruction, it is often too late by the time one realizes it. For Zasalamel, the appearance of Night Terror was a perfect example of this. Even Zasalamel had underestimated the power of the cursed sword. It far surpassed that of his secret arts. During the ritual when Zasalamel attempted to take the power of Soul Edge for himself, it fused with not only the summoned Nightmare, but with even the power of Soul Calibur, becoming a terrible incarnation of pure destructive will. It is likely that Zasalamel never even saw its form: Night Terror. Perhaps it had retraced the memories of the blue armor, or perhaps it had a remnant of the self-will that had formed while it used Siegfried as a host. Whatever the case, this entity bore a slight resemblance to Nightmare. It easily escaped Zasalamel's control and appeared behind him, wielding its power like a raging current, and obliterated him. The man who had craved death met his end - though not in the way he had intended. In his place, an unprecedented catastrophe gained wing and claw and was released upon the world. WEAPON -- Soul Edge (Complete) After the energies of Soul Edge combine with Soul Calibur and the remains of Nightmare, it is able to finally achieve complete restoration. Soul Edge, now in a complete state, is the strongest weapon (story-wise), and has acquired the form of a Zweihander, probably thanks to its memories of Siegfried/Nightmare's style. STAGES -- Chaos - Spiritual Realm (SC3) No matter who they might be, those who take the evil sword Soul Edge into their hands come face-to-face with the blade as it invades their minds. When this happens, they see the very spirit of the cursed weapon. Upon entering this dimension devoid of life, an otherwordly landscape greets them. In this place exists no heaven, no earth. No reality - merely the sinister-yet-beautiful waves given off by Soul Edge, and the countless souls trapped by the wicked blade. The fate of those who visit this place - whether they hold strong to their will and win against Soul Edge, or become a new offering to the cursed sword - is known only to those who take the evil sword into their hands... CHARACTER ANALYSIS If Night Terror were selectable, he would be the strongest character. He might also have been given the rank of broken Tier character. Night Terror's style is a copy of Nightmare's, but he has much more strength and the biggest range in the game. He also has powerful projectile moves, like a beam laser, which can only be evaded by running towards him. Night Terror also has a Tremor attack which covers the entire ring, and is unblockable. He is often compared to Jinpachi Mishima, Tekken 5 boss, due to his description by many as having "cheap" moves. His wings prevent him from being defeated by ring-outs, as well. If knocked over the edge, he simply flies back up. TRIVIA
