[edit] Weapons
[edit] Memories of Soul Edge
Inferno was the embodiment of Soul Edge, and memories of the warriors it defeated was crystallized within it. Inferno used the warriors memories and incorporated them into it's own fighting style. It is even able to create weapons using it's own memories and body.
Inferno's blade is fueled by the anguish of defeated warriors. When Inferno's weapon becomes engulfed in flames, the world will know the meaning of true fear and despair.
[edit] Stages
[edit] Story
SoulEdge is a home version exclusive. You can play as him in SB by beating arcade mode with all the original characters. He doesn't have a mission mode, or a back-story.
[edit] Ending
Soul Edge flies into the sea, and 400 years later a scuba diver finds it.
[edit] Canon Ending
Inferno is defeated by Siegfried, who takes Soul Edge and becomes Nightmare.
Though nobody is sure when or where it first appeared, "It" definitely exists...
It took on the form of a sword in order to devour more souls, and exists in someone's hand even now. Those who hold it are unable to escape the curse of it's evil powers.
It continues to devour into darkness the souls of those who are led astray by fate. While it burns fiercely with the anguish and regret of lost souls, it's blade shines with an icy gleam.
[edit] Ending
A pillar of light pierced through the clouds to herald the event. A powerful sword capable of destroying evil, as if in opposition to the surging evil.
For the demon sword seeking stronger souls to consume, it became the ultimate source of power. The Krita-Yuga was consumed by a wave of evil, and a new sword chaos was born.
Inferno's cry of joy reverberated as if to reach the entire world. All hope was lost... and now an era of darkness is about to begin...
[edit] Canon Ending
Xianghua uses Soul Calibur to defeat Inferno, but a void opens up and swallows Inferno and Soul Calibur. Inferno does possess Soul Calibur.
[edit] Soulcalibur II
Inferno isn't playable in SC2 nor does he have an ending.
[edit] Trivia
- Storyline-wise, Inferno appears after one of the swords is destroyed, but in Soul Blade, he has both parts of Soul Edge. This could be explained by Inferno using one of the real swords and creating a new sword from his body, as he's been known to do.
- Inferno uses a random weapon each round.
- Inferno has all of the moves of whomever's weapon it is using, but it also has a few of its own moves. Its own moves are pretty flashy. They are denoted in Inferno's move list by the red Pac-Man ghost :)
- Inferno isn't playable in Soulcalibur II, but it has been replaced by Charade. Charade uses a random weapon each round, like Inferno. Unlike Inferno, Charade doesn't have any of its own moves.
- In Soul Blade, Inferno had a skull and wore a jacket.
- In Soulcalibur II, Inferno can't use Link, Heihachi, Spawn, Assassin, Berserker, Lizardman, or Necrid's weapons.
- In Soulcalibur, fighting Inferno was like fighting Charade. He had two rounds and a normal amount of health.
- Inferno's appearance has changed somewhat. In SC1, he was a pair of arms and legs and a head, connected by fire. Except when he was player controlled, in which case he kind of looked like a big plastic man with a huge fire inside of him. Orange for Player 1, Blue for Player 2.
- Besides the fact that Inferno has some unique moves, it also does a little more damage.(6% more for small characters, 12% more for bigger characters, 0% more for Cervantes)
- In Soul Blade, Inferno was called SoulEdge, and he had Cervantes' moves. Unisock points out that SoulEdge may just be Cervantes on fire, and Inferno is something else. This could be true, since SoulBlade wears Cervantes' coat, but there are a lot of similarities between SoulEdge and Inferno. The fire, the fact that they both come from Soul Edge and the fact that neither of them have their own fighting style. Heck, SB's SoulBlade resembles SC1's Inferno more than SB's Siegfried resembles SC1's Siegfried. Maybe Inferno gained so much power between SB and SC1, he didn't need a body to host him anymore. I guess it's up to you to draw your own conclusion.
- In Soulcalibur II if you use a cheat device to unlock Inferno and use arcade at the destinied battle, your opponent's character name will be Nightmare at the loading screen and the game will freeze at the battle area due to a lack of a cutscene.
- Inferno's most preferred weapon in Soulcalibur II is Nightmare's Soul Edge (Complete). It is completely orange, with hundreds of eyes.
- Inferno is the current Nightmare.
[edit] Character Relationships
- Is the will of Soul Edge.
- Defeated by Siegfried when he took control of Cervantes' dead body.
- Defeated by Xianghua and Kilik in Soulcalibur.
- He is the new Nightmare as of Soulcalibur III.
