Soul Calibur IV (Intro)

[@N3on320]

God, I remember getting chills everytime I booted this game up, and hearing the announcer say the title of the game.

[@richardchronicles2983]

Is it a good thing or a bad thing

[@mymannashersingh846]

SOULCALIBER FOUUUUUUUUUUUUUR!!!!!!!!!

[@DarkLordSauronrocks]

Soulcalibur 7

[@nyew_thrizz]

I used to be 7 and reacted less than you lol

[@Cornhollo26]

Same. Also got spooked by Tekken 6’s intro for some reason.

[@johnfarlio1830]

I always find it hilarious how the first half of the intro is serious with main characters, then all of a sudden Yoda comes out of nowhere and kicks ass

[@alexmeza2810]

😂😂😂

[@itssxnrise5842]

This is my favorite fighting game of all time, Soul Calibur 4

[@ThGdSayr-vt9tl]

My favorite soul caliber despite the fact that the fandom disagrees

[@notroc8]

SAME AHAHAHA

[@notroc8]

Even the graphics just hits better than SC6 🤣

[@steveowisdom2486]

Had the best ivy

[@IamaPERSON]

Agreed, really loved the Tower of Lost Souls.

[@Anradak]

great game, the graphics were beautiful and the art direction makes them stand even in these days but it had some odd things that broke the immersion for me. the apprentice is a generic character that has nothing to do with soul calibur, i understund and appreciate guest characters like Darth Vader and Yoda but at times it felt like a star wars fighting game and not like soul calibur. and that stage were all the lizardmen are holding the knifes and forks is laughable to say the least

[@alexiebmw]

2:47 This game was the game that changed my life and got me into gaming Soul Calibur IV was the game that got me into gaming and I don't know where I would be at if I never played Soul Calibur IV ah man I love this game this was such a such an amazing game to play with

[@dandanr5530]

tbh it was the first game i played and it got me hooked into gaming. I'm glad im not the only one who thinks this masterpiece is not forgot :)

[@hammerdeluxe6009]

I remember me and my sistet playing this game and making lots of custom charcters. It was so fun, and watching this is giving me nostalgia

[@Haliaelu]

Bro soul calibur iv in particular was my whole childhood man.

[@PlaystationGamerZX]

Ahh the memory. I remember i use to play this alot because of Star wars character Darth Vader, Yoda and Starkiller. I remember I even are the best playing as Sephiroth from final Fantasy 7 I created the character. So much memory :)

[@marbardan]

I love how the Duel of The Fates styled music plays when Starkiller or Yoda are shown.

[@Howlingburd19]

While not quite on the same tier as its predecessors, I do like what is being portrayed in the beginning of the opening. So here’s your explanation: A very very long time ago, during an ancient dynasty, the “Hero King” Algol wielded the evil sword Soul Edge to spread peace to the world. With his extremely strong will, Algol never fell to the evil sword’s control. However, his son, Arcturus, was jealous of his father’s power, and he took Soul Edge for himself. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the mental strength of Algol and he was easily manipulated by Soul Edge. Arcturus attacked his father, and in self defense, Algol was forced to kill his own son. Devastated by the death of Arcturus, Algol swore to create a sword to counter the evil within Soul Edge. With the use of purified fragments of Soul Edge (which is what Algol is holding) and the assistance of multiple sages, they set out to create Soul Calibur. After many failed attempts, and at the cost of his own life, Algol managed to create Soul Calibur. However, this was semi-successful as Algol’s soul would end up being pulled into Astral Chaod, and his restlessness caused the sword have a cold-hearted, unrelenting spirit very similar to that of Soul Edge!

[@Seven70307]

Remember how when you created your own character, you could include him/her at a certain point within this opening? That's sheer SC fanservice right there. Take myself for instance; I haul off against a few random swordsmen on my way to Algol's tower. Next thing I know, I'm facing off against Cervantes. That point really made me feel as if I were a legitimate part of the SC universe; as if I wasn't already immersed into it since SC1.

[@liamwake1194]

Its one of the most powerful openings in gaming, makes me feel epic and not a word was said apart from the title screen

[@greggirons67]

SCIII's opening used full CGI rendered animation where as SCIV used the in-game engine to render the opening & ending movies ...

[@cal5964]

I really hope Algol comes back in SC6

[@Djayscratcher98]

Z3R0 he wont SC 6 is going back to when Siegfried was nightmare

[@ristyanyesf7327]

do you know what I think ? I think namco should make soul calibur 4 remastered on ps4 and xbox one before we die

[@k.p.8458]

Love how they revisited the theme of Calibur II "Under the stars of destiny" for Calibur 4. I wish they kept doing it for all caliburs. 3&4 remains my favorite, but Edge&2 has the best music

[@172exe]

Man i miss playing this game

[@kardamonn1115]

Me and my sister legit never skipped the intro

[@leaandy2959]

Same here 🤣🥳

[@kartertaylor6080]

ong i only stayed to see knightmare at the end

[@PepperBeefSoSpicy]

Well its because this intro actually used in game models as opposed to CGI that they did in Soul Calibur II and III.

[@AnthonySigouin]

This soundtrack is intense and deep! From 2:10 goosebumps!

[@gloomykasumi8580]

SAME BRO

[@KidKatastrophe2314]

This is what the in-game cutscenes should look like...

[@benococn2203]

god I love how the name pans around to the cool song love this game it needs a remake

[@ramadansteve3115]

My favorite soul calibur game

[@ChumbaWonka]

I dont know why people hate this game ... It has the best roster and gameplay of all

[@JagoShogun]

They butchered everyone's novelist.

[@Beforezzz]

The gameplay started to get really bad here, but everything else was fine.

[@ariansurrien7038]

Me neither..Soul Calibur 4 is the best video game ever and people who hate this game definitely tasteless

[@bower8309]

@@ariansurrien7038 i agree stick to your opinion and dont let anyone tell you its wrong people like diffrent things i personally love this game to bits

[@Beforezzz]

2:37 onwards is the best part of the intro.

[@avdepaz]

sc2: (ps2) Heihachi, (GC) Link, (xbox) Spawn. sc3: Kos-Mos (create a character) sc Legends: Lloyd Irving sc4: Yoda, Vader, The apprentice sc broken destiny: Kratos sc5: Ezio, Devil Jin (create a character)

[@n3onf0x]

avdepaz sc6: Geralt and 2b (both styles can now be used for customs)

[@farazrazavi3798]

I hope sc7 guest character is gonna be guts

[@DavidYohnson]

I remember them screaming soul calibur 4

[@buttersleopaldstoch5793]

Soul calibur has the best opening.

[@bigisme4390]

yoda is in this game because of them having a guest character every game SC2 link SC3 heichi SC4 yoda SC5 ezio! awsome series of games

[@blakenapier3125]

Soul Blade Soul Calibur 1 Soul Calibur 2 and Soul Calibur 3 has the best Opening Intro Sequences that was how many hours I need Soul Calibur 4 Soul Calibur 5 Soul Calibur 6 Soul Calibur 7 Soul Calibur 8 and Soul Edge to be like those and have Hours,

[@harrydrake4173]

Hilde was the only good thing to come out of this game.

[@blakenapier3125]

Hildegard Von Krone = Joan Olf Arc Versus Isabella Valentine = Holly Valence

[@crudnom7090]

Sorry, Hilde was first in III as a bonus character XD

[@agentmassa3618]

Hilde is trash LMAO

[@devingedyt]

Agent Massa SHE HAS NULLIFY RING OUT A

[@amarianbrim16]

2:58 I like the way he said it

[@KsFrezze]

Soul Calibur 3 intro is better,

[@freezadragon5135]

Its the better intro forever

[@jacoryarnett7347]

Nah, Soul Edge/Blade Intro is 10x better.

[@elmoi5072]

Sc 3 have a great intro

[@redman7412]

GET OUT! noone asked

[@Viiroth]

Why is this intro such bad quality compared to the previous ones?

[@basteala525]

Late reply, but essentially, there was an option to have a custom character inserted into the introduction scene (in place of Yoda/Darth Vader). To accommodate for the customizable options, the game used the CaS data. As a result, instead of CG, the cutscenes used the in game character models, sometimes with minor alterations.

[@Roshea]

Better than V

[@thegoldencross2004]

Have you seen soulcalibur 6?

[@eifersuchtkim669]

My goodness Ivy's most powerful weapons are definitely that pair of..

[@jellyh6545]

Algol's story was at the beginning of that intro movie of the game.

[@ninjartist36]

The first SC game I played

[@silvergrimoire]

Same

[@kinglink9541]

PALES in comparison to SCII's intro.

[@crudnom7090]

Nothing beats Soul Calibur III's

[@jorgel.quiroz8862]

Soul Blade's intro beats every other intro.

[@emanx222]

crud nom honestly 2 was my favourite, short an sweet with far better character models than every other game post SCII

[@222paganpoetry]

The chapter of Soul Calibur in which all the characters had eye shadow.

[@JD37]

Still the greatest fighting game ever and always will be.

[@gersonchiguano4789]

Una obra de arte👌

[@kassi420]

I love Soul Calibur 4’s game play but man I completely for got that nothing intro… Soul Edge intro memorable Soul Calibur intro memorable Soul Calibur II intro memorable After that I don’t remember a single intro

[@Thejigholeman]

honestly, this is a terrible opening. there is no weight to any attack, hell, when astaroth threw the rock at yoda, it looks like it just slid away after being cut. hilde and ivy looked almost uninterested during their fight Hilde:"ivy, im gonna slice you...i guess", "now here comes the flag stab..." Ivy: "I'm gonna smack you with my whip....", *swings whip blade in a disinterested way*

[@wiseguy240Winston]

That's cause it's not cgi, if you count that it's actually pretty impressive for 2008.

[@Wartooth91]

because it's all rendered in engine.

[@DaiquiriJack]

When Yoda randomly appears hahahah

[@Səv]

LMAO ikr

[@jellyh6545]

0:16 *flashback* Algol: Time for you to die! Arcturus: No father, wait! Algol: (attacks and kills Arcturus with a fatal blow) Arcturus: NOOOOOO!!!

Whatever SC includes spawn was the best

[@theonewhowrotethis5681]

That was Soul Calibur II (Xbox edition), the 3rd game in the series.

[@blakenapier3125]

Xbox 260 You mean We don't need any Guest Characters on SC2 SC4 SC5 SC6 SC7 SC8 & SE!

[@julianonascimento5915]

Muito foda

[@jayleng9630]

Where is my man Raphael

[@user-tt7og3re9t]

PS3 has the better intro the yoda scene just doesn't fit at all with the music Like the way he stops the axe is cringey with the music

[@TerminatorFanBoy300]

This game needs to be backwards compatibility for Xbox

En q modo se pueden desbloqear los demas personajes de este juego

[@alejandromenendez8039]

mmmm play 1 and 3. great intros, great games. This no play. But intro is not same level 1 and 3. No good idea using game motor for cinematic. Music same thing. Not same level 1 and 3.

[@thefraudulentbrit7516]

I’m gonna go on a limb and say this is the Xbox 360 version?

[@BohrokKiller]

yes, Yoda was only on the Xbox version

[@TCUSolidWolf]

It made better sense for Spawn, Link, and Hehaichi Mishima to be in the Soul Calibur franchise than it did for Star Wars characters. I'm not saying that alone makes it bad, but still, that's pretty random. What I wouldn't give to see Necrid back in the series.

[@UlquiorraetOrihime]

YODA???????????????????????????

[@kaoken1153]

Honestly they should not have included star wars as bonus characters since it does not fit in at all, If they could remove star wars it would be a great game!

[@kinglink9541]

Just don't play them then. They aren't part of anyone's story and there is only one Star Wars fight on Arcade. Otherwise you can play this game completely Star Wars free.

[@kaoken1153]

Shane Scott No i'm not retarded. But my point isn't bad. You can't add in characters that doesn't belong that's like putting mario inside mortal kombat.

[@ThatGrayKid]

this comment just makes me think you've never played a soul calibur game before this one. you think Link, Spawn, Heihachi and KOS-MOS belong in the sound calibur games they were in? No. They were just guest characters that didn't affect the story in any way so it shouldn't matter whether they're there or not

[@kaoken1153]

Those characters fit in in my opinion however Star Wars is sci fi and lightsabers against swords doesn't really appeal to me.

[@Zweihander11]

I agree, but CG movie. Live action movies based on games tend to be a failure.

[@erenelliekush]

AND...The animation is still less fluid than the Soul Calibur II op. Good Job Namco.

[@scarletrivas1784]

ta fino

[@generalfranky1905]

it has a great intro but then a wasted arcade mod with only 4 battles for the story seriously?

[@beautifullEternal]

As someone who never played past that AWFULL wii game, I have to ask, what with all the aztec imagery at the beginning? Whut

[@jorgel.quiroz8862]

beautifullEternal actually the devs gave the aesthethic of some very early cultures to give the feeling of the Soul swords being as ancient as civilization itself. So it isn't strictly aztec.

[@elliottfalcon3352]

Jesus, the graphics hets worse and worse every new game

[@Alabaster-Revenge]

2:58

[@SaminPK]

Souledge/Soulcalibur series had great intros all of them right from the first game to fourth i.e. Souledge, Soulcalibur1-3. 😁🥰😎 Soulcalibur 4,5,6 Intros - Meh!! 🙄😶😑

[@hulkingowl]

i totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...XD

[@منوعاتحسنيالجوكر]

‏‪1:24‬‏ ‏‪1:27‬‏

[@RetroAdzz]

No where near as good as SC3s intro

[@Fishpks]

This is when you realize that the Gamecube had better graphics than the Xbox.

[@midnightace9631]

I hated that they included Star Wars. Yah I get the business idea of it, but it felt like I was playing a mod.

[@СандраБулочка]

Кошмар, зачем они туда Йоду впихнули!? Это не круто, это смешно, и немного печально :( Весь предыдущий труд прошлых частей слили в унитаз :\

[@gijane2cantwaittoseeyou203]

SC4 might be my favorite of them all but this intro sucks compared to 3 and 2

[@louisian126]

yoda?!

[@WeAreAllThings]

One of the weaker intros of the series imo.

[@3emkay937]

ew

[@CocacolaBoy83]

ye ...just no sense xD for me soul calibur is dead here 4,5, 6, and over ...all shit
