I've noticed in the database that all the SOULCALIBUR games are recorded as Soulcalibur. I had thought it was SoulCalibur, as appears in most of the logos (I, II, IV, V and Broken Destiny). Though on inspection of the games I possess (II, IV and Broken Destiny) the spine of the box and all mention of the title throughout the manual uses SOULCALIBUR and to me this seems a more accurate record of how the title is intended to be represented.

All caps is not gonna happen unless the letters each have a meaning.. like LEGO for instance. With Soulcalibur it's just stylized.

Out of curiousity, what does each letter of LEGO stand for?

Online it says it is derived from a danish phrase "leg godt" meaning "play well", though, it surely isn't an acronym(aka each letter has a meaning). Out of curiosity why is LEGO all capitalized by our naming standards? (I haven't read the No-Intro doc for a while, I assumed it was some special rule for trademarks or "common" stylization, etc).

Maybe I picked a wrong example then.. or maybe it's the copyright name and people are using copyright names here

No-Intro? I thought MusicBrainz was the standard used for capitalization here

SoulCalibur or SoulCalibuR (since the R on the title screen is definitely capitalized similar to WipEout).

Soulcalibur is incorrect.

All letters in "soulcalibur" are capitalized if you take a look closer at it,
however they use different letter sizes, which is just logo stylization IMHO.

It's SoulCalibur, no need to imagine things.

While I agree that SoulCalibur is a very common stylization. Out of curiosity, how would write soulcalibur III?

Here is what the the logo (in-game logo/disc logo/box logo/etc):


Is it "SoulcalibuR III"? *just being difficult hehe, don't really have any opinion*. Also just for added information, if you look at the license information, for any soulcalibur, (aka legal notice at bottom of disc) it always lists it as for example: "SOULCALIBUR®IV is a trademark of ...", in plain computer text-type (non-logo'ed).
