 The sentiment was shared by Deeko's review of "Soulcalibur II", who said that Charade felt like a new character that used "old character moves and tactics".Other reviewers of "II" repeated the sentiment, noting Charade as one of several "Doppelgänger" fighters in the title that filled in another character's role.On the other hand, UGO's Doug Trueman cited Charade as a character that "[added] something spectacular to the "Soul Calibur" pantheon."
