Scheherazade approves the new SC4 info - Image 1We've got more information for you on the Soul Calibur 4 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) front today. Apparently, the game's getting even more features than we expected, and they include a new mode and a nifty ability we've seen in other video games before.

It's been revealed that the game will get character swapping, at least in the single player mode. The swapping, usually seen in tag matches, makes it seem as if characters will be meeting each other and teaming up in story mode for good old-fashioned storyline questing. The swap will allow for combo-making, but reportedly depletes the swapping meter.

There also appears to be a new mode in the game, known as the Soulless Tower mode. It's supposed to be a single-player mode with one main goal: to reach the top of the tower. Each level has treasure chests you can pick up that are filled with goodies, and you can reportedly use the swapping feature when fighting enemies there. You'll also be able to use multiple create-a-soul characters as well as existing characters, which is a great feat.

Below are the rest of the tidbits found by CAG forumgoers:

Single Player Mode
  • game feature dizzy : getting hit into walls makes you dizzy.
  • game feature guard impact : opponent will fall during guard impact.
  • game feature instant impact : when opponent attacks during guard impact.
  • armor bar : keep blocking, bar becomes red, and eventually blue.
  • soul impact : attack until opponent's health meter is red, then make opponent block -or- you can initiate with a guard impact.
  • soul impact : when opponent is soul impacted, enter the heavy finish command to execute.
  • soul impact : performing soul impact is a victory, regardless of circumstances.
Create-A-Soul Mode
  • custom characters : complete freedom for use of parts, color change, and cloth combinations.
  • custom characters : body build and muscle are also adjustable, there's a 100 levels of modification.
