Play Dress Up With Soul Calibur V's Character Creation

can i create a better game?

I love how in the video when the quote "The possibilities are endless!" appears the examples are all about breast options. XD

I thought 4 was a whole lot of fun, so I'll be picking this one up, too. I'm just a button-masher and this series (along with DOA) satisfy my fighting-game requirements.

I'm just not looking forward to having to unlock a whole lot of outfits and weapons again.

I have no interest in picking this up but this trailer gave me some good chuckles. I think they did a great job in showing off what this character creator can do while at the same time making fun of the ridiculous nature of character creators as such. It's also good to see that they went all out with the character creator; there seem to be a ton of options and I think the things they did with movable patterns and custom colors of attacks is really taking this stuff to a higher level. They don't seem to limit you in making something totally ridiculous either. Well done.

Yes, this is what sells Soul Calibur nowadays. Le sigh.

Your going to be able to make some serious abominations with this character creator.

Awesome array of options. This should be a lot of fun to tinker with!

he is pretty cool in his own way.

I didn't even touch the stuff in 4 nor did I even play it much. The core gameplay just didn't feel as good to me as it did in 2.

Too bad that even after all the time spent playing SC dress-up, the gameplay is going to be predictable enough that I know I'll definitely pass on playing it. Too bad that the time spent revamping the character creation didn't also go to making the game more fun to play or radically different from the original SC game. (it's like constantly beating a dead horse but this one now has stickers & new paint on it)

OK, I have to say, as charachter creation trailers go that was pretty good! =D

Crisis averted.

After having gone thruogh the Saints Row 3 character creator just 10 minutes ago, I'm not so impressed.

not super interested in the soul caliber part of it, but the customization looks really robust and interesting.

Is SCIV loads of the character creator stuff was on disc but only unlockable as payable DLC. Also alot of the content was far too hard to unlock. Hopefully the V will have more content unlocked from the get go and none of this on disc DLC.

Great video. At least they're putting some effort into something on this game.

"endless possibilities!" *boob slider* oh, japan.

Either way, I think it looks iterative in a good way from SC:IV, really cool how you can place things wherever you want, and layer-paint clothes, I hope there is sort of a forza/nfs custom paint community sharing thing.

looks like I'll be doing what I did in 4, play at a friends house and fill his roster with ridiculous customized characters =P

God I hate character creation in Soul Calibur, WHY WHY did they ever add this unecessary featureee.

Soul Calibur 2 had everything to be the great fighter it was: great selection of characters, great balance, great stages, amazing music, great single-player with loads to unlock.

Why are they wasting time on something like a character-creation, it's not a freaking mmorpg for godsake.

Just release a freaking HD remake of Soul Calibur 2 and I'll be happy.

Oh Japan, you so crazy.

And the best part of all? no fucking skill and stat system attached to everything.

Seriously though this looks great, reminds me of the freedom of III's but with even more possibility, i'll probably end getting it just for that.

Soul Calibur V.

Boob slider.

"Japanese characters? Cool!"

"Change Design: Chinese Character 145"

CHINA = JAPAN

Villager A said it, not me!

Damn, I didn't know Namco was in charge of Saints Row the Third.

You win this round, Soul Caliber V.

TAGO P is my new best friend.

Here's the first guy im making...

Good lord that screencap made me laugh

Ivy dressed decently? What has the world come to?!

And I thought I spent way too much time in sc4's character maker. This is just, god I'll probably spend more time with this than actually playing the game.

My thoughts exactly. The detail is insane here.

Yeah, if possible I'm going to make "not-really-even-an-A-cup Ivy" and "giant head Voldo". I will also give Lizard Man a 1920's waxed mustache with curled ends.

I was beginning to worry that they didn't have the option to change breast size.

i have the weirdest boner right now

Tag Meister is my rap name.

FABUUULOOOUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I think this game might be made for me, you guys. They put out a five-minute presentation on the character creator before an extended gameplay video.

I apologize.

This is so bizarre. And sort of amazing.

Embiggen boobs?
 
OK I'M IN!

That actualy looks realy cool. And now I can finaly make Ivy look less creepy and therefore a useable charictar without feeling creepy. :D

...For some reason, I saw that preview pic and thought Kefka. And got all excited. And then read that it was Soul Calibur V. :(

I wish this game was coming out this year. Hopefully the Jan 31st release date is for real. Also I loved the SC 3 character creator.

Also, "<I'll teach you how to do something> First, take off your clothes" made me laugh. Edit: Holy shit, this is quite robust it seems, even more so than SC 3. Awesome.

I kind of liked this...TAG MEISTER SAN!!!!!!!

And I thought I spent way too much time in sc4's character maker. This is just, god I'll probably spend more time with this than actually playing the game.

When they announced SCV I actually went back to four and played around a bit with the character creator, pretty fun way to waste some time and I can defintely see some of the improvements in this.

I'm not really interested in the main game but I would still totally spend a few hours in this mode.

@Bravestar: Soul Calibur IV had the option to play without the stats from armor and weapons factored in. Makes it a lot easier to create a decent-looking character when you didn't have to worry about gimping them in the process. Hopefully that option will be available in SCV as well.

They have just sold me the game. This looks incredible!

I just hope the majority of those items are in the base game. Piecemeal customization dlc drives me crazy.

I AM VIRACOCHA, GOD OF BOOB SLIDER!

Will there be a man boob slider?

....Oh dear god...(thinking of game hours people will spend making characters)

Soul Calibur V.

Boob slider.
