Copyright Infringement?[edit]

The first paragraph of Raphael's biography is a word by word extraction from the game. I don't know if it would qualify as a copyright infringement, but it seems to me that with what I know about copyrights, there was no permission obtained. Pls correct me if I'm wrong.

Someone should at least put quotes around it and attribute it to the game I think. 140.232.146.190 01:06, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Character Analysis?[edit]

Would it be possible to add a Character Analysis section here, like is present on pages of other Soul Calibur characters? I'd add it myself, but I have 0 tournament experience.

I second that. Malomeat 04:13, 26 February 2006 (UTC)Malomeat[reply]

Some character analysis was added - however, it came from 194.72.50.162, a site with a known vandal. Simesa 14:30, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia?[edit]

What happened to the trivia section of him? -Mythmonster2

It was merged with the article. See Wikipedia:Trivia. Leemorrison 11:47, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vampire?????[edit]

Who put Raphael in the fictional vampires section? I think that's based on personal research so I'm removing him from there. Mythmonster2 23:34, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ive just gotten rid of the 'Fictional Vampire' tab too... Ill see whos doing this and check it out Jamesbuc —Preceding comment was added at 07:59, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

People are probably confused by the passage "The symptoms even spread to Amy, possibly infected while she was treating his wounds. Their minds were intact, but they suffered physical symptoms. Their skin turned pale and their eyes shone red. They felt weak and sluggish by day, and a powerful thirst by night. Not long before, the neighboring people learned of their strange behavior." Vampires are supposed to be weak during the day (or killed by sunlight) and drink peoples' blood at night. The wording of that paragraph is extremely suggestive that Soul Edge turned Raphael into a vampire. (PS, I'd guess this counts as original research, but he's called a vampire on kotaku.com) 75.157.91.151 (talk) 04:26, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you were to see him in prison would you think he was a vampire? Perhaps if he is not he thinks he is. Smurai Cerberus 17:32, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes if I was to see him in person I'd think he was a vampire! Look at how he's dressed!75.157.109.75 (talk) 01:20, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, his Critical Finisher makes it kind of obvious he's a vampire. 75.157.112.12 (talk) 10:56, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. the critical finish as well as his B+K move (Plus an A+G or a B+G grab) make him seem to bite a person (Only if female, he the responds with "sweet nectar!", if the person is a male he appears to stab them with a dagger or somthing of the like) 69.254.108.68 (talk) 17:46, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SC4 picture![edit]

Hey guys, I got a picture of Raphael from SC4! However, I don't know if I can post it here, cause I just read the uploading rules and its froma website and probably copyrighted. To get it, just google "raphael in soul calibur 4" and its the first result. Also in there are pictures of Hilde and Astaroth. Mythmonster2 00:33, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have a picture of Raphael from SCIV as well. I don't think it's breaking copyright by putting it on. I'll just give credits to IGN.

If there are copyright problems, I'll just revert back to what it was. BTW, how is this part of WikiProject France? --Cloak' 14:12, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gameplay[edit]

Okay, this is pretty much just like the old character analysis section from before. I'm removing these for the same reason people from before deleted the character analysis section. If you want to find out why, check out Taki's and Kilik's talk pages. If people want a strategy guide, they should go to fansites. Mythmonster2 (talk) 06:28, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
