"I am no longer your pawn." (1P entrance against Vader)."What are you doing?" (2P entrance against Darth Vader).He is considered by the tournament community as a mid tier character. He is best played as an aggressive fighter who does not give his opponent any time to recover. Force Levitation can be activated manually or after performing the Star Divide or Force Blast, the latter being a Force-consuming guard break attack. The Apprentice is also capable of using Force Levitation to decimate his opponents in mid-air. His Force Lightning is one of the worst unblockable attacks in the game as it takes up a long time to charge up (long enough for him to say "give up" in Japanese), uses up half of the Force bar and does not deal that much damage. Using the lightsaber fighting style of Sith Shien, the Apprentice uses the Force in many of his very damaging combos. He is almost as fast as Yoda but aggressive as Darth Vader. The Apprentice is a mix between Darth Vader and Yoda. Stage Star Destroyer Docking Bay Critical Finish ĭark Force Attack: The Apprentice blasts the opponent into the air, pulls a few fancy slashes, bounces them off of the ground and finishes them off with a powerful shockwave move known as Force Repulse.Īgainst Yoda, due to his small stature, he levitates in the air, charges his power, and then blasts Yoda with Force Lightning.īefore performing his Critical Finish against most opponents, he will say "You're in my way." Against Darth Vader, however, he says " This will end it." In the Xbox 360 version, it ends after the Apprentice kills Algol, though it can be viewed in full if the player downloads the unlock key for Darth Vader. This ending is generally only available in the PS3 version.The text-only epilogue then says, " How he lived and where he traveled from there, is a story for another day." Sensing this act of defiance, Vader releases him, and they both draw their lightsabers to duel. Angered by his Apprentice's arrogance in making that judgment for himself, Vader Force-chokes him, prompting the Apprentice to reach for his lightsaber. The Apprentice strikes down Algol and returns to Darth Vader without Soul Edge or Soul Calibur, having deemed both swords to be of no value. There, in that other galaxy, he encounters two swords that possess opposing powers. When the dimensional portal opened, the Apprentice entered without hesitation. The wave of power grew stronger right before his eyes, and the distortion widened until it became a clear distinguishable hole in space. Upon reaching the area of space in question and confirming the dimensional tear, the Apprentice wanted to see if the tear was a stable passageway. He was ordered to act as a vanguard and identify the wave of power that was causing the disturbance. A gate to another dimension was about to open in space. Upon completion of another mission, the Apprentice was given a new order. He became the Dark Lord’s shadow, performing secret missions at his behest. The harsh training prompted fear and hatred. Darth Vader saw his natural aptitude and raised him as his apprentice. His father was a Jedi Knight, so the Apprentice possessed immeasurable potential. He was raised in secret as the apprentice of Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith. See Galen Marek's entry on Wookiepedia Soulcalibur IV Ī long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. As such, he appears wearing a tattered combat uniform featuring many bands of fabric tightly wrapped around his limbs and fingerless gloves. His attire is that of his light training gear from the first game. The Apprentice appears as a fair-skinned man with dark shaved hair and brown eyes.
