Non Playable Characters

From the Soulcalibur Wiki

The Soul Series contains characters who cannot be selectable,they are usually the final bosses of every game,many unselectable characters are proven stronger then selectable characters,some may be even weaker.Unselectable characters could be playable with cheat devices that could nearly crash the game and create glitches.However,not all unselectable characters vary by power or excel,some are just common foes and easy to take down.Inferno is the only non playable character in both Soul Calibur and Soul Calibur II,Soul Calibur III had a bunch,including Night Terror.

[edit] Soul Calibur

The last boss,Inferno,is quite powerful,he has damaging moves though,fast speed.2 versions of Inferno exist in the game,one that is unlockable,this one has no flammings on him,the other Inferno(boss)is only playable with cheats,though it causes glitches to the game.The 2nd costume is a blue Inferno for both.

[edit] Soul Calibur II

Inferno rises once again,about the same but slightly stronger,he changes fighting style when you knock a quarter of his health,playing as him with cheats causes the game to freeze on certain occasions,playing as him makes you play in all stages,as normally,Inferno is only fought in the last stage,Tartarus.

[edit] Soul Calibur III

This game has many,there is Shadow Master,Doppelleganger,Colossus,Willow-The-Wisp,Charade(3 kinds),common Lizardmans,and Night Terror.Those characters could be easily playable with cheats.Other unselectable characters could be fought but are just created characters with different names and voice pronouncing,most likely Berserker,there are Gladiators with iron swords,which it cannot be held normally to them.The created non playables have no extra affects on gameplay,they could all be created easily.Unknown Soul is just a darkened character.

If players happen to have a Action Replay Max for the PS2,they could be playable with no glitches,though going to modes like character profile or tales of souls freezes the game.Though the non playable creations could be playable with cheat devices,1 difference is that the announcement says the name of the character instead of the job name.Unknown Soul and Keres is a possibility also.
