Lefty Characters

[Noxgarm]

Just realized that Raphael, Siegfried and by extension Nightmare are left-handed. Neat.

I mean, Nightmare is Siegfried. And down the line Raphael will become Nightmare.

Also Cervantes's "primary" version of Soul Edge and the one that survived he wielded in his left hand.

probably because the other sword is a pistol.

cervantes is probably ambidexterus, as it is not easy to swordfight in your off hand, and it is just as hard to fire a pistol in your off hand.

Would have been cooler if Sieg was a righty and his evil clone was a lefy.

I noticed this a couple of months ago when playing Soul Calibur 2. Although I'm sure that Nightmare has to use his left hand because of that giant claw thing as his right arm.

Not realy, tho. He holds the sword in his right hand for some of his stances, as well as for his Critical Edge. Likewise, Siegfried does have soem attacks and poses where he holds the sword in his right hand, showing that he might be ambidextrous. However, most of his single-handed animation have him holding the sword in his left hand, it's most obviosu with his kicks.

Why would the claw be a problem, his strongest attacks involve using it.

He's not disabled like this guy:

the claw is more usefull for punching and grabbing. pretty interesting that it can do as much as (and sometimes more) damage as his sword.

Go to his gauge attacks, he does more than grabbing and punching with it. And like someone else mentioned, he holds the sword with the claw for his critical edge.

i'm not talking specifically in this game, but historically for the series as a whole.

back in sc2, he had a GI-auto counter with it. the move it was seems to be part of his A string, with TC, now.
