Algol was the terribly-designed boss character.

Algol and Angol Fear are 2 different characters (Angol fear is the one with the weird meteor staff)

Oh OH OH right

Yeah, SC4's character design is totally forgettable.  At least for any of the non-main characters.

Those optional characters were farmed out to some mangaka, and the one that did Angol Fear pretty much just phoned it in.  I hear he got a lot of shit from fans on that, too.

Sort of. He made Angol Fear Angol Moa's mother. Also her entire involvement in SC4 canon in his manga.

Quick overview of Broken Destiny:

  • Story mode has been broken down into a vague Soulcalibur 2 Weapon Master-like experience (booooooooooo).
  • No arcade mode, just Quick Match and Trial Mode.
  • Trial Mode consists of tests to see how well you can chain attacks together, guard and guard impact attacks or combine both with endless stages a la survival mode.
  • In a shocking move that didn't surprise anyone, Broken Destiny has no online play except local WiFi.
  • Kratos was given the THIS!  IS!  SPARTAAAAAAAAAA! kick that I accidentally discovered as I ringed Zasalamel out with it.
  • Character creation seems to have more items for characters, but total slots has been bumped down from 50 to 16.
  • No more editing the existing cast with silly character creation parts.  Only changing everyone's hair and outfits pink.
  • Surprisingly good looking and smooth for a game that is only just under 400 MB after compression. :yarr:

I can't complain so far.

Their alternate costumes in SC4 consisted entirely of character creator parts that you could alter.

Oh, jeez! I knew they were parts from the character creator, but I never realized you could actually change them.
