SCIV Character Creation: Hey it's Ryu!

While those who skipped over the series' PS2-exclusive third installment won't be familiar with Soul Calibur's Create-A-Soul mode, those who used it know that it had tons of depth and allowed for all manner of wacky options and crazy characters. For the Soul Calibur IV Create-A-Soul mode, Namco-Bandai looks to be increasing the amount of customizability available to players, giving us some interesting (Cat-man & Afro-dude) and recognizable (Ryu & Snake) characters before the game is even released. Hopefully Namco has taken into account all the various parodies we've got in mind and allows for as many custom characters as can fit on the storage device ...

VF5 had a similar system, but this looks more indepth. Hopefully, unlocking all these extras won't be the slog it was in VF5.

Without an Energy sword it will just ruin everything.

So can we trade these characters with friends.

Oh shi-.. That has some amazing character creation if you can build a model that close to Ryu.

Are we sure that that Ryu was created? With all the rumors of Kratos in the PS3 version a lot of people were speculating that the 360 version would get Ryu out of the box...

It could very well be, but also many people have stated that based on the senseless bashing of Namco's other fighting franchise (READ: Tekken) the chances of Ryu appearing on SC are really slim....but then again, Itagaki is now gone....

...and Tecmo will need the most positive advertisement possible....

I liked SCIII's Create a Soul Mode somewhat!

Hopefully, this will improve.
