Thanks, yours are good, too. I must admit; Kilik is an excellent player to control, but face him, and you're in a bit of trouble (on Ultra Hard anyway). Kilik is strong, fast, and, equip him with Soul Calibur and you're pratically unbeatable. But, to me anyway, Kilik can't take as much damage as most characters. I destroyed him yesterday with Siegfried, granted, he may have got a few good shots in on me, but that was nothing Siegfried couldn't of handled. That's why if I come up against Kilik, I tend to use stronger characters that still have a bit of agility, Siegfried, Mitsurugi, etc.
Talim isn't bad either. I was surprised at how strong she was, considering her rather light frame. I remember when I first went up against her, and God was I complacent. Worst mistake I ever made on Soul Calibur III. So far.
Cervantes gave me a run for my money in COTS, however. Valakai (created character), against Cervantes. What a match it was, luckily I had Siegfried's Soul Calibur, which slowly regenerated my health, giving me a slight advantage.
Zasalamel isn't too great. I find that by using quite quick characters, and manouvering around him, it makes him as useless as a chocolate fire guard. Which is most likely why I don't like Nightmare too much. He has too much power and not enough speed for my liking.
Overall, Siegfried is still number one. Although, Kilik is slowly climbing the ranks of my favourite characters.
