@tinkyXIII: Yes, they're exactly like the other characters' styles, and no, you can't use the Star Wars character's styles. My Altair is just Raphael in a fancy white hood and red sash.

InsidiousTuna

Wow, that just made SC4 a day 1 purchase for me.

superbabyproject

Most looked pretty awesome, except for Superman

I don't know why they even tried.

Maybe someone can make Ganon...GET ON IT 360/PS3 OWNERS.

AsianAfro77

@Shandy706: I don't really care about the Star Wars characters in SC game neither. Are you talking about the VF5 hori stick for the 350? Is it any good? I know that the game is going to be the same on both platforms, and the only deciding factors are the HDD space which PS3 wins on, and the arcade stick (I hate using d pads for fighting games). My local games shop is out of PS3 ones but they have a couple 360 sticks.

2SBs

The Apprentice from The Force Unleashed was my personal favorite.

Purple Flames

Couple questions after seeing this: Are the styles you can choose for the characters exactly like the characters they came from? And can you use the Star Wars character's styles as well?

I'm definitely picking this up ASAP, just wondering about the finer points.

tinkyXIII

I made a random character today to test it out, but I haven't thought of a certain character to make, plus, I need to get more items I bet. Maybe a God of Rock or something like that.

I'm waiting for a pikachu as well.

ItsSuperEffective

Man, I remember listening to Skee-Lo in middle school. That was some good stuff. I had my dad throw the tape in all the time, which I'm sure he LOVED. Haha.

Rhawb

That Cloud looked like a horrible fusion of Cloud and Squall together...probably a FF fangirl's dream, maybe...

Can't wait to try another failed attempt at making Ghaleon...though I must try!

Saint Anima

@Elly: and by Rogue I mean Robin, though Rogue was pretty creative.

Elly

I thought Thor and Rogue both looked excellent. I may just have to pick this up.

Elly

Link looked like unwiped ass.

walkman1022

Some of these characters definitely crossed my mind but I wasn't able to get them look close enough that I wanted to keep them. Also I wonder where Altair is in that video.

Fangeh

i am now officially buying this game. excellent post!

NES8bt

@dead_red_eyes:

Haha nice!

Wolf_Dog

Isn't it "Chun-Li"?

themadman123

A lot Of these are really creative lol the coolest was blanka

Elijah Man

They were all fun, if not perfect recreations.

I was planning to buy the game anyway, but knowing that I can make Thor is what is sending me out the door right now.

Vorpal

Thor looked awesome!

themadman123

@2SBs: Doesn't matter really. They're both going to have Vader and Yoda...if you even care.

Personally I don't care about the Star Wars additions. I have more friends with 360s so I went with the 360 edition and the Hori Arcade Stick (which is a blast to play with in this game).

Shandy706

Thor was great, Mystique was dead on, but a lot of the weapon choices made little sense.

ggodo

@silenthill4vid: That song is old school! Don't knock a classic.

Stalkumi

@Wolf_Dog:

+ Watch video

His Thor model actually looked pretty good.

dead_red_eyes

I already made an Alucard for myself and later I'm going to try and make a half decent Trevor Belmont to go along with him.

Sparx

Wow...there are some real creative people out there. I guess I thought the same thing when I saw people make Princess Peach Mii's by rotating huge eyebrows for a crown but this is similarly impressive. I particularly liked Shao Kahn...didn't see that one coming

KanjiGear

Liu Kang and Superman looked awful. Not bad for the rest, though.

sanctusmortis

So thats what the Ban Hammer looks like...

Wolf_Dog

They got Raidens weapon wrong though. He should have been given a warhammer.

Brutalitarian

Some of them are pretty good, but some are equally awful.

BassForever

thanks i needed more Skee-Lo in my day

jaws3people0

Awful music ain't it?

silenthill4vid

Shao Khan, Orchid and Thor are perfect.. nice work!

CockroachMan

For that matter, who in the hell is "Lui Kang" and "Chun Lee"?!

;)

I wonder if this guy stayed up all night making these characters? Maybe that's why the spelling is a bit off?

dead_red_eyes

@catapult37: I guess from that perspective, but based solely on my ability to identify him before seeing the name... I didn't think so.

Methusalah

"Shoa Khan"

KaneRobot

Damn, best for last! Thor was PERFECT!

catapult37

I was playing at work about an hour ago. I reserved the boardroom and we hooked up an Xbox and were just passing the controller around. Hurray for productivity :)

MajinMexican

I wish I had video capture stuff. I need to show off my Altair. He kicks ass.

InsidiousTuna

WOW, and I didn't care about custom characters in this game. It is absolutely amazing what you can do with a little imagination. Only one question remains; should I go for PS3 or 360 version?

2SBs

It already came out, I must have been sleeping!

neoraul20

That Snake was WAY better than the one earlier.

Dejanus

I saw "Killer" and "Fighter" and IMMEDIATELY got my hopes up for KI3 info.

:(

The video was cool, I guess.

Genocyde

I so need to make me one of these "marios".

scotty

@Methusalah: Mario was awesome! Not in terms of faithfulness to the original, of course. Reminds me of those "realistic mario" pictures. Dr. Doom was almost perfect!

catapult37

Oh man... they should totally make weapon styles without characters like they did in SCIII. It would be fantastic for DLC. (And bring in Kratos dammit)

suya123

I think I'll get a copy of this one as soon as it comes out.

neoraul20

Who the hell is "Shoa Kahn"?!

;)

dead_red_eyes

Mystique looked amazing, though some of those really sucked.

MetalGearMax

Cant wait to get my hands on this. I am going to make all kinds of crap

Sam Smith

Sad that they started off with the simply awful link and mario characters, but there were definitely quite a few really well done ones too.

Methusalah

THAT is how you do Snake in SCIV!

Fadakar

Some of th0ose are really cool... some of those are pretty bad...
I love the create a character in this game.

Demonbird

Blanka FTW!

Also in future please dont spell calibur with a K. It reminds me of non-alcoholic beer:(

TheSpiller

Thor looked spot on. Mjolnir!

Mecharine

@superbabyproject: Assemble!

Maldron

I WISH I WAS A LITTLE BIT TALLER, I WISH I WAS A BALLER. D=

devilgoku

@Maldron: Superfriends!

superbabyproject

@superbabyproject: Oh snap!

Maldron

@InsidiousTuna: Huh. I'm suddenly less enthused about this then. Think I'll wait for the price to drop now. Thanks for the info.

tinkyXIII

@InsidiousTuna: Even in the UK?

superbabyproject

@Purple Flames: Yeah, you could tell a lot of work went into that. I seriously hope you're kidding. Sarcasm doesn't show through very well in text.

@superbabyproject: You're too late, it's already Day 2.

InsidiousTuna

Holy mispellings Bahtman!

Skee-Lo though, gotta love it! But the video definitely needed more He-Man/Skeletor-action. Or Kirk Vs. Picard! Or Uwe Boll Vs. Jerry Bruckheimer although I don't know if these next-gen consoles can render enough explosions to accurately portray that one...

SuperSci

Cloud Stryfe: Surprisingly easy. Then again, he always was, the little slut.

I Think We're Property

pretty bad ass, can't wait to try it

thegforceman

@tinkyXIII: It's still pretty great. I'd go ahead and get it now.

InsidiousTuna

@superbabyproject: NVM

InsidiousTuna

Some are good some are just plain weird...Appreciate the effort though. :)

Robin should've been using a staff though. Superman was er a mess to be frank.

excaliburps

Very impressive! Can't wait to get my hands on the character creator!

magictroll

Was definitely not expecting some Skee-Lo to start playing, nice! Anyways, the video is tempting me to pick this game up.

SolidEyeSystem

Yeah I made a really decent Harley Quinn for my wife (from the Batman series). You heard it here first!

Canuckssleepinthenude

More epic fail than success.
A lot of these are, quite frankly, piss poor!

Oh, and Raiden was already established in the Mortal Kombat universe as rocking a staff (hammer in 4). He ain't no Katana-weilder!

Still, no love for Afro Samurai! That was the first character I created. Marshall Law (Tekken) was #2. But, ultimately, my main created character is going to be an original character, as that's where I think things are more fun.

Phoenicks

@I Think We're Property: that made made lol... well played sir

kickass solo

The Skee-Lo made this video.

Otaconnachos

@dead_red_eyes: As well as the infamous SHOA KAHN

AnonymousNoob

@Phoenicks: and Scorpion should have the ax and WEARING PANTS, and NOT IVE (i get the spear ref but NO black mail for pants)! Snake should have a dagger, (that goes for the last movie with Raiden vs. snake). Staff for Robin. Im sure you could have left link's hate off and turned don the buff on him. The Zwihander SoulCalibur was good, Cervantez's ice sword would have been good to if it was available. Was the Good Choice on the music!

dacresni

lol @ "lui kang" vs "chun lee"

Providence

those were great. some of you are forgetting it's only with assets available from the game. it's not like he was making skins. anyways orchid was my favortie!

cihx

Mystique and Orchid were awesome! Can't wait to play my copy!

alphonse610

Brawl-gasm? More like eye-gasm

luigiman0

Nice, nice, some of these had me laughing out loud ^^

zyph

Some of those were really well done. But a large portion I had no idea who they were until they told us who they were.

TRT-X

Mario looks like Sean Connery

Orionsaint

Woah shit, I liked Robin and Superman! Mystique was cool too!

Great work!

Talleyrand

@Sparx:

Make a Guts and make a vs pic, I'd love to see that :p

If those two ever fought, the fight would last a century, and end with them becoming best friends!

Hisdon

pretty cool, but the one that's supposed to be snake looks WAY more like the Boss from metal gear solid three. that fucking drama queen

Nick Kostalas

Wow. Awesome stuff. And surprisingly, the music works well too. And storm doing hula hoop! (how do you fight with this round thing?)

BJayz

Wow, Thor just stood out for me. To quote a friend:

Thor > you

AntiZERØ

Soul Calibur user generated characters still look better than MK vs DCU official counterparts.

moidsch

Dang. The music got my hopes up for a custom-made Skee-Lo fighter.

One can dream...

EmTeeZ

No deinerlace FTL.

banned4life

Wow, this character creator looks pretty intense. I might rent this just to check that out, if not for the game itself (though I've never played a SC game before).

peAr nectAr

I did a Robin too, but I did a Tim Drake sort of version. I like it better.

I've also got Nightwing, but he's a work in progress.

Touy

..............This make me rethink about buying the game, most of the male character looks pretty fat and pretty bad 5_5...But then again this may be rushed cause the game just came out yesterday...>>

Arihara

Damn i need to get my 360 fixed

Final

Love that song but some of those were really cool. The character creation is awesome in this one.

WolfGod

iam sorry but soul caliber IV is terrible

TheblazinNinja

Skee-Lo - I Wish (1995)

Nice Song. Nice Characters. ONce I finally get a permanent copy of the game I'll do some characters of my own. GO TEAM VENTURE!

or not...

Megan Fox Iz Hot! ^-^ - ph15h

SKEE LO! 10/10 just for the music.

race

@TheblazinNinja: iam sorry you feel that way

chronubis

That wuz great who ever had enough time to do all of that deserves an award I don't know what kinda award an award nonethaless

ShadowScale

Holy crap that is amazing! I had no idea the character customization was that deep. I wonder if we'll see some licensing issues in the future...

Hiatsu2k8

Hah ha, awesome. I read about the Snake creation yesterday and promptly searched youtube for more. Shoulda just waited for Kotaku to satisfy my needs like it always does.

Ptolemy

Is it bad that I watched that just to see if/how they got massive thighs on Chun-Li?

Ping

We need a recipe book for this type of stuff. The character create is a great feature, but there is so much depth that you can easily get lost (speaking from experience and the hour and half I'll not be getting back from customizing just a plain old Kilik character).

If anyone sees a character creation recipe book online, please be sure to post it. It would make for a great little collaborative web site section if someone could come up with a consistent way to represent the component parts for others to post.

Just a thought.

Now back to my own creation of Color-Blind-and-Dressed-in-the-Dark Man (coming soon as a comic, movie, fastfood kid's meal toy, breakfast cereal and feminine hygiene product tie-in).

EGM

@EGM: Just google it I'm sure it's not that hard to find but some times each created fighter might be a little off than other ones cause of the tweaking of the options but iam sure that you can find some cool ones out there. But if i find some good ones i will post them.

MURDERFACE

The Orchid one was very well done. Even though she is a generic fighter. I'm still trying to perfect my Chuck Noris I need my killer roundhouse kicks.

MURDERFACE

The only character that I've made so far is Misaki Mayuka(Tenchi Muyo Munatsu no Eve aka Daughter of Darkness) Unfortunately the creator doesn't allow you to use the beam weapons(Star Wars) so I've got to think about how I'm going to make the rest of the cast.

cholinms

Thor was 100% spot on. The rest...varied extremely.

man in gauze is king ramses II, silly.

If your video can't show a ninja looking right (SubZero, Scorpion), you'll get no more of my time!

ViolentLee

wow, count me impressed!!! that's some great imagination. they really are some good representations.

mindf1ow

Awesome...
Is it just me...
or does Snake look like Ashton Kutcher...

Aetherium
