As promised, we’ve got some more Soul Calibur goodness here. It’s been Vader this and Yoda that. As much as I love those guys they could really be stripped out of the game completely and it would not diminish my excitement for the title. A feature in SC3 that people seemed to gloss over was the custom create-a-fighter. Sure there were some limitations but I thought it delivered in terms of variety compared to other custom character systems in the past seen in game genres like basketball, wrestling etc.

I myself had a great time with it and could only see the possibilities in future installments of the franchise. Check out the end product of these custom characters in Soul Calibur IV! As random as this pirate girl is duking it out with some barbarian guy, I can’t imagine how deep the unlockable content will go. I anticipate hours of playtime unlocking the goodies that Namco has developed in create-a-fighter. Not to mention mastering the classic fighters’ upgrades, new official roster characters, Yoda, Vader and his apprentice.

I mean, how can you not love the ability to make a fighting cat girl with a feather duster? That has win all over it.
