Character Creation returns in Soulcalibur IV. Instead of including some original weapon styles for use with certain classes of fighters, the mode now allows players to simply choose which character from the series they would like to have their created character mimic (excluding the Star Wars guest characters, the bonus characters, and Algol).

A wide array of new pieces of equipment are available for use in Character Creation mode, and new options include a wider range of character voices (with pitch adjustment), the ability to change a character's general physique and muscularity, and even a choice of poses for the character to use on the versus screen.

In addition, equipped items now also affect a character's statistics. Some pieces of armor may increase health, attack or defense; some equipment and accessories may also grant skill points that allow the character to equip special traits that affect the character's playstyle. Standard characters will also be able to be modified in this way to a modest degree, allowing custom costumes and skill sets to be used in Special VS. mode.

Created characters also can take part in Story Mode in Soulcalibur IV. They can also appear in an opening scene.

Story Mode[]

In Story Mode, the created character can defeat some of the Series default characters, leading them to follow the creation. Their partners are Maxi (if you start at Hall Of The Warrior God. Stages 2–4 only), Talim (if you start at Sailor's Rest. Stages 2 & 3 only), Rock (if you start at Thesmophoros' Imperial Garden. Stages 2 & 3 only), Cassandra (if you start at Distant Marsh and finish stage 2. Stage 3 only to defeat Scheherazade.) and Setsuka (if you start at Ice Coffin of the Sleeping Ancient. Stage 2 only to defeat Voldo and two Shadows). Each partner changes the final encounter. If you travel with Maxi, Talim or Setsuka, you will encounter Algol. If you travel with Rock, the final boss will be Nightmare, and Cassandra will lead you to Siegfried.

In the ending, Soul Edge and/or Soul Calibur rise up in swirls of energy. The custom character looks up and rushes to the swords, jumps and grabs the sword(s). He/she looks around and sees the energy coming to them. The character lifts a sword while they glow with power (if both swords are held, a vortex will lift the player off the ground), rushes forward again, slashes the energy dispersing them and jumps off the tower. The scene changes to them with a sword in the ground. They pull it out and rises it in triumph. The text only screen says "His/Her name will be engraved in history and will live on forever."

Equipment[]

First tab - Equipment[]

  • Entire set - Automatically equips the character with equipment matching a certain theme (ex: Soldier, Clergy, etc.). For picks default costumes for the main characters and guests.
  • Head equipment - Hats, headbands and helmets. rings, only usable by guest/special characters (Such as Vader and Shura) and edits of the DEFAULT costumes. (For Algol you can only edit his default costumes so he can only use Link rings)

Allows the color of all equipment to be changed. Certain pieces of equipment may have multiple colors that can be customized.

Third Tab - Model Appearance[]
