This is a play-through using Inferno in the PS2 version of Soul Calibur 2. Read on below for more information...
Inferno is the final boss of the game. He is an unplayable character.
===== About Inferno =====
Despite being the final boss in this game, Inferno is a typical Namco "random character", meaning that he doesn't actually have a fighting style of his own, but instead he "copies" or "mimics" the fighting styles of the other characters (one per session), thus having their moveset.
In SC2, he is programmed in a way where he can switch to different movesets twice per round. These switches are activated when he loses certain amounts of life, probably each 33% portion loss on his lifebar.
Under human control in Arcade mode, Inferno operates like the CPU version, but has a game-breaking fault where if you lose the first portion of life and he goes to switch the moveset, it'll show his opponent going into Inferno's pose and Inferno himself in a "Time Over" losing pose. It'll just keep repeating, meaning that you cannot progress. In Versus mode the fault is slightly different, instead he just lays on the floor with the camera circling the fighters infinitely. Therefore when playing as Inferno, you have to make sure to not lose your first portion of life.
===== Additional Information =====
---- Despite being a "mimic character", he actually has some moves of his own. These include: 1) The floating spinning slashes; 2) The throw where he throws the opponent up high and impales them; and 3) the rising catch where if he hits the opponent, he takes them up high into air and spins before slamming them back down onto the ground. All 3 are shown in the video. There is a 4th unique move where he just goes into the floating spin, but I cannot work that one out.
---- When playing as him in the Arcade modes, you can only get up to Stage 6. After you complete this stage, the game will freeze. This is because he has no Destined Battle storyline/opponent programmed in.
---- When playing as him in the Arcade modes, it automatically makes each match a single-round match.
---- When playing as him, the VS screen will always be the special Inferno image (the one used when you fight him as the final boss).
---- On the character select screen, if Inferno is highlighted and there is a second player/character on the other side, the light from Inferno's flames lights up the other character.
---- On the character select screen, if Inferno is highlighted and you leave the cursor alone, Inferno will float off the screen.
---- It is interesting on how Inferno can appear on the character select screen and zoom in when you confirm him. It's almost as if he was intended to be a playable character.
---- Whenever you start a match with him, he seems to always mimic his opponent's moveset first (if it's an opponent he can mimic).
---- He cannot mimic the movesets of Lizardman, Assassin, Berseker, Charade, Heihachi, Necrid, and Inferno.
---- His character model remains the same regardless of which alternative "costume" you select with him.
---- In Extra Mode, no matter which weapon you select with him, he'll always use the 1st default weapon of the character he mimics.
---- When Inferno is hit, his fire scatters all over the stage's ground.
---- Apparently, he is the same character as SoulEdge from the first game Soul Edge / Soul Blade.
---- In the Character Ending mode, selecting Inferno will lock up the game.
===== About Soul Calibur II =====
Soul Calibur 2 is one of the best weapon-based 3D fighters of all time. The graphics are of course nowhere near as good as SC4 or SC5, but what makes SC2 great is that it's probably got the most "balanced" and "simple-but-deep" gameplay out of the series. It also caters to single players as there are a healthy amount of unlockables to discover as well in the console ports.

Indeed he is the same. Inferno is the spirit of Soul Edge itself, manifesting itself whenever someone wants to take hold of Soul Edge, though after this game, he becomes more directly involved in the plot as he becomes the new Nightmare after Siegfried freed himself from the blade.

The funny (or not so funny) thing is that I recorded 3 videos of Inferno. Because after I recorded the 1st one I worked out another of his unique moves. Then when I recorded the 2nd one I worked out another one of his unique moves. The 3rd video (which is this one) shows them all, but there's still one more unique move I haven't quite worked out.

You know the move where he floats up and does the helicopter spin before going into the spinning charge? There's a variant of that where he does not do the helicopter spin. I think.

This is a little... less glitched than the other play as Inferno video, I saw recently. In that one, Inferno still mimicked whatever character he fought, and the opponents were still silent (because the game obviously "thinks" it's showing the final battle), but Inferno would always use Nightmare's weapons no matter who his opponent was (but would still use his opponents attacks, just with Nightmare's weapons.)

Funny how hardcoding works. This could have been a rather easy fix but he obviously wasn't intended for human use, so they just didn't bother. All they had to do was make sure Inferno was the one affected instead of the CPU character.

Am I the only one who thought it's kinda insulting he's only a couple of bonus, non-playable costumes for Cervantes (a flaming wisp/spirit-thing version of Cervantes's 2P costume) and Nightmare (SCIV Nightmare) in SCV? The same game that has three mimic characters couldn't be bothered to bring back the first mimic boss players were most likely to encounter if they played the series chronologically as a full character.

It's Soulcalibur V. That game is the very definition of lazyness and disappointment. Asking them to bring back Inferno is way too much to ask (not hoping in seeing him returning in SCVI either, at the moment Maxi seems to be replacing Li-Long and there are no signals of Hwang coming back either?)

I always wanted to play with him, but I don't have the Action Replay disc. I tried modding the game on PC, but testing it on the emulator showed me Inferno without his flames.... so it was useless.

Man Krizalid, how hard was it to get footage for this one? Not only not losing, but also barely taking damage at all

It was made slightly easier due to the fact that the game automatically sets the matches to 1 round if you select Inferno.
