8 Video Game Weapons You Were ASHAMED To Use

7. Phantom - Soul Blade

So let's get something clear right out of the gate.

Soul Calibre, as a franchise is a bloody wild ride. You've got your grab bag of fantasy tropes, you've got so many jiggle and juggle physics that it feels like Newton's Third Law Of Motion is being constantly ridiculed, and of course, you've got the fact that each combatant has rocked up with weapons making the combat that much deadlier.

And of all these stabbers, slicers, and skewering weapons, there are of course some incredibly weird ones, and while it would be easy to talk about the joke weapons that nearly every title includes, none really make the user feel ashamed, in fact, the only shame likely being felt is if you end up pasting your opponent with them.

But the Phantom blade from the original Soul Blade hits different.

And by that I mean it's an invisible weapon that feels so, so very cheap to use.

That's right, Hwang over here gets access to a weapon that not only is completely invisible making it harder for your opponent to react to your attacks, but is also three feet longer than his original weapon meaning that you can attack your foe without them even able to know where your reach extends to!

As you can imagine this is the lowest of the low, the cheapest of the cheap, and if you used this against an opponent you should be very ashamed. Like proud owner of all Xtreme Beach Volleyball games ashamed.
