Snake versus Raiden: the SCIV user generated match

by Andrew Yoon { Jul 29th 2008 at 9:30AM }

The character creation tools of Soulcalibur IV look to be rather robust. Kotaku's CB has created facsimiles of our favorite Metal Gear Solid characters, Snake and Raiden, using the in-game system. While not 100% spot-on, these renders do add a distinct Metal Gear flair to the classic fighter. Seeing these two fighting on the Death Star with Soulcalibur weapons ... well, that's the kind of stuff fanfics are made of.

[Thanks, Gambit07!]

I hope someone makes Kaz Hirai and J Allard characters. I would love to see them fight it out. A Phil Harrison and Peter Moore fight would be more interesting but since they both moved on I guess i'll settle for seeing Kaz Karate chopping J. But for the record Phil Harrison would beat Peter Moore to a bloody pulp.

Snake looks more like Gambit there

I'm more interested in making myself and then making Andrew Yoon. Oh yes, the day of reckoning is upon us. One shall stand and one shall fall!

Andrew Yoon @ Jul 29th 2008 10:13AM

The earth shall tremble that day.

Whenever you want to throw down in fisticuffs through soul caliber you let me know. I know you're busy with joystiq (cowering in fear of my omnipotent force) but when you're free come try your luck (PSN: Gaucho21) .I shall be waiting on teh highest hill at the crack of dawn (I'll be home anytime after 6pm). Avast and have at me YYAAARRR!!

If you can make a working Laughing Octopus in this game, I'm all set.

Come on, they look nothing like Snake and Raiden. I have see this go round the gaming site and beside they both wear black and one is blonde and the other has dark hair, moustache with a hachimaki, they could be any generic manga character

I think the Raiden looks pretty damn good. He just looks slightly more... asian. Snake is totally off though. It seems they didn't include any (or many) western hair styles or looks.

Dan Davis @ Jul 29th 2008 10:55AM

Raiden would look more realistic if he was naked...

So does anyone know if the character mods work online? If so we got us quite a neat little fighting game on our hands here!

Gervin @ Jul 29th 2008 12:39PM

That would ROCK if they do. I see a lot of character trading going on now, as I assume you'll be able to save them to a USB key just like game-saves.

Majed Athab @ Jul 30th 2008 6:01PM

Yes, they do.

How about some video?

On a related note, now that I am a MGS fan, I would love to see these two infiltrate the Death Star. Maybe the next generation of stealth games can skip the Kojima and Tom Clancy stuff and go sci-fi/cyber-punk, but retain the MGS style gameplay...

BTW Andrew, it's "Thanks, Gambit07!", not Gamit07 :)

Syn @ Jul 29th 2008 9:31PM

Game is actually bad. Just bought it and the controls aren't the same and it feels slowed down...

Gervin @ Jul 30th 2008 8:37AM

Don't know about all that. I think the controls are just fine, and the speed is normal. In fact, I feel it's more like SCII (the best version IMHO). Though I am a little disappointed in that I expected better graphics for a PS3 game. I much prefer less detailed costumes (less polygons... who needs to see every strand of lace, etc...) for smoother dithering and animation.

Though, all in all, it's still an awesomely fun game. (More so against humans) . The fact you can play customized characters online is very cool. And while the Star Wars characters are indeed a gimmick, it's pretty awesome the 1st few times you pull some 'force' moves on someone.
