I can beat any game like that, not just Soul Calibur, but it always feels like a bit of a Pyrrhic victory when I do.
Anyway, mashing the attack button may work against the AI, but it most definitely does not work against someone who's actually good at the game and knows the combos.

I may be wrong, but I think it was the first Soul Calibur that we used to play at my mates house on his ps1. much fun was had by all, untill we realised that the big hairy bearlike guy with an axe was utterly unbeatable if you simply repeated the "jump and do a downard attack" thing over and over. My mate (who owned the game and was bloody good at it) found this mightily irritating.

Ah yes thats the puppy. Soul Calibur was the one they had on the gaycube, yes? That was quite an improvement: we *all* sucked ass at that.
On the gaycube it was Soul Calibur 2, but that was available on the PS2 and xbox as well.
You could jump and kick your way through a beat em up game very similar to Mortal Kombat on the N64, but I'm buggered if I can remember the name.
You could do huge massive combos, eventually finishing someone off with a move, and my mate used to jump and sweep kick his way through every single fight.
Quite a few games I have played over the years have had these flaws, with the original Tekken springing to mind.
Either way, if this is going to be done in a first person perspective view, with the nunchuck controlling the movement of the player, and the wiimote controlling the sword, then I'd be up for playing it!
