Soulcalibur V has a pretty good roster as it is, including Assassin’s Creed star and Italy’s greatest killer Ezio Auditore, but what if you want to get creative with your blade master? That’s why Soulcalibur’s character creation and customization mode is making its return with what looks like way more choices than ever before. Here’s the game’s producer Tago to tell you all about it.

There system seems simple enough when a friendly face like Tago is leading us through it, but it also looks so dense that we’ll need some more time with it to really take advantage of it. We wonder just how many players will take the time to understand such a huge package when Soucalibur V comes out January 31. In the meantime, here are some more screens of the mode featuring nearly naked fighters.
