Soul Calibur III Battle Count Unlockables

The count here is 100% accurate I assure you, as I did all of these battles in Versus Mode to make sure the count was right without playing Tales of Souls or Chronicles of the Sword. I've been reading this way too often so I might as well ease some peoples suffering by saying this: the numbers of rounds it takes to win a match DOES NOT count towards your battle count. What does that mean you may ask? Simple, if you fight more than one round it will be tallied as ONE BATTLE not however many you fought. Note this does not take into account unlocking characters earlier than they are meant to be. This guide was made by Buster WolfBuster Wolf.
