Trivia
This is the second gaming series that Link from Legend of Zelda has broken away from the adventure-style gaming to be a playable character in a fighting game. The first series was Super Smash Bros.
For the Nintendo Gamecube version, Link from "The Legend of Zelda" is an exclusive playable character.
While the Heihachi (on the PS2 version) and Yoshimitsu characters are from the Tekken series, the Soul Calibur version of Yoshimitsu is considered to be from another time, and is in no way related to the Tekken Yoshimitsu, even though they share the same look, moves, and background (both are leaders of the Manji party, a Robin Hood-esque group, and both are missing their right arms).

The character, Necro, who appears in all 3 console versions of Soul Calibur II, was created by Todd MacFarlane for the game. MacFarlane also created Spawn, who is exclusive to the XBox version.
