Soul Blade [PS1] - play as TEPPOU-HEI (unused character)

This is a play-through using TEPPOU-HEI in the PS1 version of Soul Blade / Soul Edge. Read on below for more information... Teppou-Hei is an unused gameplay character, which means that he is an unplayable character in the game. The video is structured into 3 sections: -- 1st section will show Arcade Mode being completed with Teppou-Hei; -- 2nd section will show his Command List after the credits; -- 3rd section will show Teppou-Hei being selected in Edge Master Mode and locking the game Here is the information about the character: ===== About TEPPOU-HEI ===== ---- He is the guy with the Tanegashima firearm who appears in Mitsurugi's endings. You know, the one you have to fight against in first-person view. ---- He has Mitsurugi's moves and has his Command List. ---- Under the lifebar, his name is 'SEUNG MINA'. ---- On the character select screen, his large portrait is the generic hidden character '?' image. ---- On the versus screen, his icon is the generic hidden character '?' image. ---- His weapon is his firearm and the loader. He uses them like a regular sword. To my knowledge, you cannot use his weapon as a firearm like he does in Mitsurugi's endings. ---- When you complete Arcade Mode with him, he does not have an ending. It just goes straight to the credits. ---- He does not have a voice. However, when you fight against Soul Edge at the end, he actually adopts and has Soul Edge's voice. I'm not if this happens outside of Arcade Mode. ---- Regarding his voice, he uses/copies the voices of the previously selected character. So for example, in Practice Mode if you selected Sophitia, then changed your character to Teppou-Hei, then Teppou-Hei will use Sophitia's voices. This seems to carry over to other modes in the game. ---- He has no announcer name voice. Which means that if you win a match with him, there will no voice after the announcer says "The grueling battle ended with the victory of ......" ---- If you select him in Edge Master Mode, he freezes the game after the messed up intro. ===== About PS1 Soul Blade ===== The PS1 version of the game is one of the all-time greats on the console, and is one of the best 'conversion/port of an arcade game'. Aside from the loading times (which are very short anyway) it's virtually arcade perfect. It helped that the arcade original ran on hardware that was already based on the PS1 hardware. The PS1 version has tons of features that are not found in the arcade original. For example, the port has 2 extra remixed soundtracks, new character costumes, new weapons, cinematic endings for the characters, the superb Edge Master Mode and more.
