Youngest human character?[]

Amy says hi. --Twilight Duality 03:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

--- Amy's age is not given in any of the game records. Any supposition of her age is speculation at best. --Tog5632 06:08, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


Nop, Amy is the youngest girl. She's 14 in SCIV. :)

Talim in Soulcalibur:Broken Destiny[]

Has Talim gone through some improvements or nerfs from Soulcalibur 4 to Soulcalibur:Broken Destiny? --SarahPaiFan 10:58, 21 July 2009 (GMT)

Soul Calibur V[]

Will Talim be confirmed in Soulcalibur V? Carmel's Hope 04:19, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

I'm sure she will since she's only 32 years old now.:D--SarahPaiFan 04:29, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

We believe she will be confirmed. Now, let's see if she will still tiny and cute! Well, in our opinion, she is a great character, then surely she will be there, nice as in previous games. Twins Deia and Lica 22:36, October 22, 2011 (UTC)

She might be returning or not. Maybe she's not going to be because of Namco's Law on YouTube (Search for Queen of Cougars on YouTube for more informations.).

sadly she was left out of soulcalibur V... she was just freakin 32! >:(2A1G Requiescat in pace 09:13, May 19, 2012 (UTC)

Change the Birthplace section[]

I think that in the Birthplace section, we should indicate "Spanish Empire" and change the Philippine flag for the flag of the Spanish Empire, because the time when the game is played, the Philippines was part of the Spanish Empire (Greek characters listed as belonging to the Ottoman Empire)

Defeated and purified Necrid?[]

As far as I know, this is nothing but fanon to 'explain' why Necrid never appeared in the series again.

If anyone can find evidence in any official source that this happened, please post it. If not, this 'info' needs to be deleted. Mintia43 (talk) 19:55, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

Talim's fate[]

Goldenheart97 (talk) 04:18, September 22, 2013 (UTC)What Happened to Talim?

Did she die? Was she sent to Astral Chaos just like Cassandra? If so, how come it's not mentioned. Plus, how come there wasn't a successor for her to mention about her whereabouts? Was Namco really planning on putting back Talim in the roster because Talim was 15 in the series and since 17 years passed since the events of Soulcalibur, she is 32 years old.



Dead ? Astral Chaos ? Okay, maybe she's dead, but why on Earth would she be sent to Astral Chaos ? Also, a succesor ? Not everybody needs to or can have a succesor. And no, Talim probably wasn't meant to be a part of the roster. There's nothing to back that up, unlike Zasalamel, for example.

Comix77 (talk) 13:21, March 5, 2014 (UTC)

Astral Chaos seems like more of a vortex that swallows people or souls...  so if he ended up there, it wasn't of her own free will.  but I highly doubt it:  when pyrrha opens the astral chaos, its only over the city where they are (ostrheinsburg?  odenburg? not even mentionned) and doesn't seem to be universal.  So maybe she is just in her county, the philipines, safe and sound.  didn't anyone thought of that?

I may be just as simple as that ;)

Talim is not mentioned at all in the New Legends of Project Soul book. However, one of the developers confirmed she's alive prior to SCV's release. 173.51.74.214 23:04, May 7, 2014 (UTC)

Small and Fast[]

She made be small, But She is Fast. It why I like her. Rosa Anarchy (talk) 04:24, March 5, 2014 (UTC)

I like her for all of those reasons, but also because she is nice, cute and full of compassion.

And she is smart too, because she tries to reason with Tira (which is something not anyone can do and survive to talk about it) and she doesn't judge Algol to harshly.

Voice actress confusion[]

I'm a little confused as to who Talim's English voice actress is. Wikipedia (and this site) claim she is voiced by Kate Higgins. But IMDb credits Hynden Walch. 108.35.51.131 05:12, August 27, 2014 (UTC)

Every single other source I've checked says Hynden Walch. I'd think majority rules until conclusively proven otherwise, and I suspect this is more of that one guy's "Well it kinda SOUNDS like so-and-so, so that's who it IS, get off your high horse!" nonsense. TheSwedishElf (talk) 10:19, September 2, 2014 (UTC)

Different person, actually. I just share the enthusiasm for getting things sorted out because it's so easy for non-union games like this to have shaky voice actor information spread around.
You say that other sources say it's Hynden Walch. The problem is that how many of these sources are credible? Hynden Walch herself has never confirmed playing Talim, and that's the most credible source of all. The only sources that ever attributed her to the role are user-submitted ones such as IMDB and Wikipedia. So incidentally, the only reason she ever was attributed to the role was the very thinking you're referring to as "nonsense".
Here are a few facts that support the Kate Higgins hypothesis.

1. Soulcalibur III and IV are non-union productions. I can explain this further if you'd like, but Hynden Walch is a union member who works exclusively on union productions. She is one of many voice actors who works primarily on high-proifle western cartoons and therefore never works non-union in order to avoid jeopardizing her career.

2. Kate Higgins has confirmed via her facebook fanpage that she voices the character of Arietta the Wild in Tales of the Abyss, a game released the following year and dubbed by the same company as the Soulcalibur series (Cup of Tea Productions).

3. Talim's voice and inflections are identical to Arietta. The similarity is absolutely staggering, and I've provided links so you can judge for yourself. Kate Higgins has a much lower-pitched voice than Hynden Walch does, and it can be heard in Talim and Arietta. They don't have the high-pitched bubbliness that Hynden Walch is known for.

Because of all this, I think it's perfectly reasonable to believe that it is Kate Higgins is Talim. There is much stronger reason to believe it is her and not Hynden Walch. Just because other websites say something is true (without actually sourcing their information) doesn't mean that it is. This is how misinformation spreads. I'd like to point out that a lot of alleged voice actor credits floating around for the Soulcalibur series were proven false when Soulcalibur V credited its voice actors (e.g. Vic Mignogna being Dampierre, Charles Rubendall--an alleged voice actor whom no credible sources can confirm has actually worked on anything--as Raphael), and sometimes a bit of research is all it takes to get others sorted out ("Debbie Rogers", who was credited as Cassandra in SCII, was believed to be Debra Jean Rogers, a voice actress who lives in LA and worked on anime in the '90s-early 2000s, but it turned out to be  a separate actress simply named "Debbie Rogers" who lives in San Franciscowhere the game was recorded). There's a lot of inaccurate information for this particular series that's been floating around since 2005, and all I want is for it to be sorted out at last.  --NCZ (talk) 12:58, September 4, 2014 (UTC)

Soul Calibur 3 isn't a non-union production though. And are you really going to judge by what someone is primarily known for or by a single character and not factor in each person's range? TheSwedishElf (talk) 05:38, September 5, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, it is. Non-union productions frequently do not credit their voice actors, whereas union productions are required by union rules to include cast listings. Soulcalibur III didn't credit its voice actors and had a cast largely consisting of actors who worked non-union at the time. I did mention range above and Talim lies comfortably within Kate Higgins', whereas it's more of a stretch to assume it's Hynden Walch. Talim and Arietta's voices are lower-pitched and more subdued, in-line with Kate's body of work, whereas Hynden is higher-pitched and has a distinctive bubbly-sounding tone. Actors do have range, but it's not infinite, and certain qualities such as timbre are constant and will make it easy for them to be distinguished from each other. And even then, the fact that Talim sounds positively identical to a role done by Kate Higgins should be enough of a tipper-offer that the role is fully within her range. I hope you consider these reasons in addition to those outlined above. --NCZ (talk) 06:10, September 5, 2014 (UTC)

So if SC3 was a non-union game, why is Jennifer Hale in it? One of the arguments for why Tira apparently isn't played by her in SC4 or 5 is that she's one of those union VAs who only does union work and Namco's recording went non-union after SC3, so either she wasn't always union-only and Namco was always non-union or there's some contradicting arguments going on here. And really, no, it isn't that much of a stretch to imagine Hynden could do a voice like that, especially if it's SC3 Talim we're going by--that's the one that got people thinking it must be her and she does in fact sound like more than one of Hynden's characters there. Plus I'm pretty sure Hynden is also Blackfire, who I recall as not exactly being high-pitched and bubbly, so I think you're underestimating what she's capable of because of how she's often typecast and possibly misremembering how her voice sounds. TheSwedishElf (talk) 12:21, September 7, 2014 (UTC)

Jennifer Hale being in SC3 is so far unconfirmed and thus purely conjecture. Also, I would like to point out again the comparison to Arietta. Have you compared the two clips? What do you make of the resemblance there? --NCZ (talk) 23:14, September 7, 2014 (UTC)

Who else could it even be? Seriously, who else sounds exactly like her? And yeah, I did compare them. Yes, there's a similarity, but she still also sounds just as much like a number of Hynden's characters. That voice is most certainly not out of Hynden's range, it is exactly within it, and Talim even completely fits what kind of character she's typically cast as. We can't draw conclusions from mere similarity, that's what got people insisting that Patrick Seitz is Nightmare until he confirmed himself that he's not.
