Out of the complete Soul Calibur 4 cast, 34 characters have been revealed like Ivy and Tira, but we thought it was time to list the Soul Calibur 4 characters below that have been confirmed for the upcoming July 29th, 2008, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 fighting game.

Leave your own gamertag or ID (and system) in the comments to be added!
i like star wars but they don’t fit in this game. nightmare looks amazzzzzzziing and i like all the new characters but ivy got a little overbourd. if the game is going to turn into a slut muffin fest at least make the game M…i like the jiggle but i don’t think that light-sabers or T&A should be new wepons
Regardless of all the other crap that people are upset over…..this game looks amazing. They made the GI easier and the graphics look way better. Not to mention that the blocking will now have to be used more stratigically since the critical finish is gonna play a part.( im worried since i saw a couple of critical finishes that where weak for some characters.)
Dang, is it me or is Seong-Mina revealing too much?
I think the game looks great the charater looks may have gone a bit to far, and i dont see swords and polearms ect. winning against light sabers that just doesnt make sense. o well cant wait to get it anyway!
come on people stop complaining about the light saber its a game so i think there aloud to bend the rules alittle bit when making a game and who really cares about how slutty they look r u gay
lol i guess it is wired with all that boob showing but i kinda like it!!XDit hottttt lol i didnt think they could possibly make any more skin showing on ivy lol but i guess i was wrong!XD
how they have ROCK back that kicks *ss he was my fav in soulblade
Is it me or do Taki’s boobs look like balloons?
yes yes they do!
I have heard so many people i know complain “eeeeeehhhhhh!!! why don’t they have link?!?! Link was the beeeeeest!!” SHUT UP no he wasn’t Spawn would have wiped the floor with Link any day. But iguess its good that neither he or link are coming back Spawn NPC killed me so many times over i don’t know the full count.
