=====================================================================
I) Siegfried
=====================================================================

Siegfried is one of the main characters of Soul Calibur III (along with
Nightmare and Zasalamel) and thus is a very powerful character. His
presence in Soul Calibur III lies in Nightmare... who possessed his body
back in Soul Calibur II (and even further into the game's history).

According to Soul Calibur II, Siegfried regained consciousness from the
cursed grip of the Soul Edge, but would turn into Nightmare whenever he
fell asleep... and eventually he became Nightmare completely once again.
By killing Inferno (the spirit of the Soul Edge i've heard), Siegfried
frees himself completely from the grip of Soul Edge.

Soul Calibur III picks right up where Soul Calibur II leaves off...
Siegfried removes the azure armor he wore as Nightmare and takes up the
Soul Calibur and makes an attempt to destroy the cursed sword, by piercing
it through its evil eye. 

((That's where the opening movie starts))

As a last effort, the Soul Edge tries to absorb the Soul Calibur before
it loses all of its power... and fails only to an extent. Siegfried 
realizes that the Soul Edge can't be destroyed (or whatever the case is)
and quests for a way to get rid of it completely. Unbeknownst to him,
when he pierced the cursed sword, Soul Edge transfered its soul or 
something into the azure armor... but since it didn't have the sword 
(Siegfried does), the azure armor just layed there on the floor... 
until Zasalamel used high powered magic and souls to ressurect Nighmare.

Siegfried's goal in Soul Calibur III is to, if you haven't picked it
up already, destroy the Soul Edge for good so that it never covers the
world in darkness ever again... as well as take control of him or anyone
else.


--------------------------------------------------
A) Character Profile
--------------------------------------------------

NOTE: This section, as well as the move list, was taken from the game...
so I gotta give credit to the makers of this game.

Full Name: Siegfried Schtauffen
 
Age: 23        (wow, a young age for someone with his life)
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 132 lbs
Blood Type: A
Weapon: Zweihander
Weapon Name: Requiem
Discipline: Original Style

Family:
Mother/Margaret
Father/Frederick (Murdered by Siegfried)

Collecting powerful souls and the fragments of Soul
Edge, Nightmare was approaching the revival of the
cursed sword. He returned to Ostrheinsburg Castle, a
place that had seen the blood of many spilled, and
there found a man wielding a thin sword in his left
hand. The man sought Soul Edge, but after a fierce
battle, Nightmare defeated him.

(Raphael is the man Nightmare fought in the paragraph above)

Nightmare closed in to finish him off, but at that
moment, a brief flicker of Siegfried's will returned, and
he struggled against the cursed sword. One voice
sought atonement and a desire to restore pride.
Another laughed, saying that all men shall despair at
the darkness of death.

As this conflict raged within Nightmare's mind, the
wounded man drew upon his last strength and
unleashed a desperate final blow. The blow cleanly
pierced the center of Soul Edge.

Nightmare let out an inhuman howl and writhed in
pain, two consciousnesses clashing within him.

And finally, with a will of iron, Siegfried reclaimed
control of his own body. At that moment, the area was
covered in light, and Soul Calibur suddenly appeared.
Reflexively, Siegfried took the holy sword and 
stabbed it into the eye of Soul Edge.

The power of the cursed sword was sealed, but the
spirit sword went silent as well.

'This isn't enough... I swear to seal away Soul Edge for
all time and atone for my sins!' Smashing into pieces
his detestable armor, Siegfried set out on a journey.
However, his blood-stained fate would not release him
so easily. The feeling of a grotesque right arm
periodically welled up in his memories. The whispers of
the cursed sword echoed in his ears.

And each time he was forced to fight those who sought
revenge of Nightmare, his mind was wracked by guilt...


--------------------------------------------------
B) Weapons
--------------------------------------------------

This section is simple, it's just a list of his weapons, what they do,
and how to unlock them. Please e-mail me anything I'm missing... like
if it takes so many battles or it takes a certain mission's completion
to get or something like that.

--------------------------------------------------
C) Move List
--------------------------------------------------

NOTE: This was taken from the in-game command list, so credit to this
part is due to Namco and the other creators.


To make everything easier for you i'll follow the pattern of the game:

A = horizontal
B = vertical
K = kick
G = guard

(A) = Hold A
(B) = Hold B
(K) = Hold K
(G) = Hold G

IMPORTANT NOTE: input the direction command where i've placed it in
relation to the surrounding buttons. If there's d+A you hit down and
A, if there's K+u then hit kick followed with up.

d = down
r = right
l = left
u = up

q = quarter turn

T = Throw
GI = guard impact
GB = gurad break
U = unblockable
AT = attack throw
SP = special movement/stance

L = Low
M = Middle
H = High
SL = special low
SM = special mid

The format of the list goes:
  
   (input command) ::: (hit range) [total damage/counter damage]

---------------------------------------------------------------------
B) Path to Night Terror (simple version)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to make Zasalamel turn into Night Terror instead of Abyss, you
must fight and defeat Olcadan in 1 try. You cannot lose even a single
battle up until Olcadan or else he won't appear. Unfortunately you only
get 1 try to defeat Olcadan too, so losing against him ruins the trip
as a whole.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You don't have to stop to defend yourself when the option
   is given to you. However, if you lose that battle, Olcadan won't show
   when you go to find him.

Here's my attempt at making the reference section easier to follow (it
also helps out to find the longest path, because the bigger the path
the more gold you get from completing it!).
