Using EE/VU cycle speedhacks increase the speed but reduce the smoothness, not recommended. Reducing clamps cause more issues, not recommended. After GSdx r4600 the game is much slower, recommended to use GSdx r4600 max. FPS: 40-60/60. Can get 60/60FPS using the cycle rate speedhacks.

==Trivia==
* Original names: '''ソウルキャリバーIII''' (SLPS-25577), '''소울칼리버 Ⅲ''' (SCKA-20059)
* If you can't play the sound at normal speed you should consider using Async rather than Time-stretched in SPU2-X options (it doesn't break the game).
* Access the Progressive Scan menu by holding the '''cross''' and '''triangle''' keys together when the game boots up.
* The game sets to widescreen when it is prompted by the 16:9 ratio setting in the PS2 internal menu(BIOS).
==Known Issues==
{{Issue
|IssueName=Ghosting
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=At higher than native resolutions in D3D9/11 Hardare mode, ghosting occurs.
|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, click "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks, and enable "'''Wild Arms Offset'''" hack.
}}
{{Issue
|IssueName=SPS (Spikey Polygon Syndrome)
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=-1
|Description=Sometimes while playing parts of the character's body look like falling off or going across the screen.
|Workaround=Go to Config > Emulation Settings, VUs tab, and set '''Clamping Mode''' to "'''Extra'''".
*'''Alternative Workaround''':Keep Clamping Mode on the VUs tab set to the default "Normal" and set Clamping Mode on the EE/IOP tab to "None". This won't look as good as the other workaround (SPS will still occur but it will fade away by itself in a few seconds) but it will increase the framerate.
}}
{{Issue
|IssueName=Respawn Issues
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=-1
|Description=Sometimes after a character falls from the arena and respawns it's facing the wrong way or the camera is stuck someplace else.
|Workaround=Go to Config > Emulation Settings, VUs tab, and set '''Clamping Mode''' to "'''Extra'''".
*'''Alternative Workaround''':Keep Clamping Mode on the VUs tab set to the default "Normal" and set Clamping Mode on the EE/IOP tab to "None".
}}
{{Issue
|IssueName=Thin vertical lines
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Vertical black lines appear when running the game in any resolution that's higher than native. This issue also occurs in various other [[Namco]] titles.
|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, click "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks, and enable "'''Align Sprite'''" hack.
*'''Alternative Workaround''':Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and either: Use set the Internal Resolution to "Native", or set it to "Custom" and the Custom Resolution to 1260x(any value). You can subtract any multiple of 60 from 1260 (eg, 1200, 1140, 1080, etc) as needed for performance, but no horizontal resolution greater than 1260 works. Vertical resolution has no effect on the black bars, so you can set this to any value you desire.
}}
{{Issue
|IssueName=Stages too dark
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Some stages are darker than normal in Hardware mode.
|Workaround=Use the latest 1.5.0 dev builds.
}}
{{Issue
|IssueName=Progressive mode bugged
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Using Progressive Mode in the game makes it run at half speed but with music playing at normal rate.
|Workaround=This issue has been resolved as of the stable release PCSX2 v1.4.0.
