SCIV: Marco is a cocky, arrogant, fun and energetic person. his quotes seems to suggest he is having fun as he battles but he also doesn't like when someone holds back on him, he enjoys to win a battle showing his cockiness. He seems to be prideful of himself although he cares about his opponents as he ask them that they better be ready.
SCV: His personality has changed a bit since SCIV as he is no longer as cocky or fun as before but still retains some of it. some of his quotes seems to suggest some sort of a teacher which could be cause he has now children and the daughter who he trains with. He still seems to have fun as he battles as he laughs in some of his moves.

Weapons[]
Aurum[]

He reforges again after SCIV to a straight sword with a light gold cross-guard and lion pommel, a black grip decorated with red and gold embroider.
Argento[]
A Wakizashi forged by Marco himself. It was forged by Marco after his training with Yoshimitsu. It has a round light gold cross-guard and a black grip. It has the same looks as Aurum 17 years later.

This stage is set in an exquisitely decorated temple, which leaves a single ring-out opportunity at one side of the room. Also, there is a gigantic mechanical spider in the background. As the battle progresses, the floor slowly slides towards the golden statue and gradually reduces the ring's size.
