Want Kratos in SCIV? Then make him, here's how

by Majed Athab { Jul 30th 2008 at 5:30PM }

A lot of you thought the other day's post for Snake and Raiden in Soulcalibur IV was newsworthy, so we're going to bring you another one of these character creation posts. This time, it's that Greek dude with a temper problem -- Kratos. We know a lot of you got excited over the rumor, and after it got shot down, your excitement died with it.

So, we propose that if you really want the gruff voiced warrior battling it out with the guys and (well-endowed) ladies of Namco's Soulcalibur IV, then make him yourself. We've posted instruction on how to make him (and some more pics, too) after the break.

So, here's a laundry list of what creation pieces you'll need as well as instruction on how to edit them. If you follow the directions carefully, you'll end up with a pretty decent Kratos look-a-like. Given the tool set, this is pretty much as close as you can get! We hope you enjoy creating and fighting with Kratos. Keep in mind, you'll have to unlock certain pieces of equipment, so don't be surprised if you can't find certain pieces. Just keep playing the game and complete "Battle Records" to gain more equipment.

Undergarments: Protective Tattoo [Color 1 -- 9: 61,22]

Legs: Executioner's Boots [Color 1 -- 0: 50,30 | Color 2 -- 1: 11,32 | Color 3 -- 0: 44, 01 | Color 4 -- 1:08,02]

To think that's kratos is to have a very imaginative mind...

Or you should stop smoking that stuf, it's not good for your health...

Majed Athab @ Jul 30th 2008 6:07PM

lol, yeah, if you've played around with the creation mode you'll know you can't edit facial hair and specific tattoos. So, this is as close as I could make it!

HektikLyfe @ Aug 5th 2008 4:39PM

Well I think they did a great job with the tools they had at their disposal. Speaking of tools, instead of slamming other people's work how about you provide something better?

Majed Athab @ Jul 30th 2008 5:58PM

Sure, I can give you the instructions sometime later.

McKeyDee @ Jul 30th 2008 5:47PM

I'm sorry but that looks nothing like him.

Fane @ Jul 31st 2008 4:59AM

Yeah, he's way too bulky, especially around the head and neck.

XeroKool @ Jul 30th 2008 5:52PM

kentuckyfried @ Jul 30th 2008 6:05PM

Eddie @ Jul 30th 2008 6:05PM

Be nice people. And use your imagination.

MexicanTerrorist @ Jul 30th 2008 6:07PM

Last time I checked,Kratos wasn't so bulky.

rafoolik @ Jul 30th 2008 6:11PM

Alex @ Jul 30th 2008 6:21PM

Superbean @ Jul 30th 2008 6:24PM

Way to go turning a potentially funny 733+speak slamming comment into an unimaginative racist one.

Mr.ESC @ Jul 30th 2008 6:28PM

Close but no cigar.

If it wasn't for the faces or because Altair looks like he has been working out a lot.

I feel "create a character" features aren't as developed as they should.

Superbean @ Jul 30th 2008 6:59PM

Its a fun feature 2 play w but i wish u had more customization options when it comes 2 ure face. but wat r u gona do rite?

naxe @ Jul 30th 2008 6:31PM

make a mario and luigi. or peach with some big cans.

or ichigo or Yachiru Kusajishi

Squirtforce @ Jul 30th 2008 6:32PM

Or Hitler duking it out with Abraham Lincoln once and for all.

Superbean @ Jul 30th 2008 6:42PM

That would be awsome. but they dont have the thick mustache needed 2 pull off such a feat

Gambit07 @ Jul 30th 2008 6:34PM

He looks like Zangief to me...

Superbean @ Jul 30th 2008 6:37PM

Prepel1 @ Jul 30th 2008 6:57PM

Squirtforce, 3 times you made me laugh out loud here, well done =P

and id say thats a very good effort considering what your working with, well done you!

j.howlett @ Jul 30th 2008 7:03PM

if only he could get 2 of ivy's swords we'd have something to work with

Deathalo @ Jul 30th 2008 7:21PM

Lol, early today my friend and I were trying to do the same exact thing. We tried looking online to see if anyone had posted pics of an already made Kratos but we found none. So we decided to make our own and we basically came up with this exact same character that you guys did, with only very few differences.

Henry @ Jul 30th 2008 10:25PM

That looks more like Zangief than Kratos...sigh...slow news day?

gm76 @ Jul 31st 2008 2:45AM

I hope the custom female characters don't look like He-man.

LAZoftheTamarinds @ Jul 31st 2008 3:21AM

Good job Majed! I look forward to seeing more of your creations!

RagingStormX @ Jul 31st 2008 10:26AM

LMFAO @ Squirtforce....

I was looking for something to wake me up at work....that first comment of yours did the trick. Classic!

Gervin @ Jul 31st 2008 12:22PM

Anyone know of any websites out there for sharing characters? I imagine it's got to be like trading game saves.

Also, I've only had about 10 minutes to play with character creation, but stating from the IVY model, I was unable to change body/style, etc.... DO I need to start from a complete scratch slot?
