Hacked Soul Calibur

Gut used a gameshark to make character fight as a different character (ie Taki fighting as Nightmare).
Any ides on how this was done? I was always under the impression that each character was animated seperately with their own custom rig/skeleton system. But if all the animations in the game are interchangable between the various meshes, does that mean there was a master rig/skeleton that houses all animations?
How would you transfer male proportions onto female? And vice versa?

Yes, and Soul Calibur always had that. Watching Edge Master fighting with Voldo's animations and weapons is hilarious
We had the ability to share anims across all our character in X-men3: Next Dimension. While not a great game by any means, swapping or sharing animations in a fighting game is extremely trivial, since you fight on a flat surface (a height offset is used for anims that would make the character clip into or float above the floor). The problems arise when you try to use grab moves animated for a particular character applied to another with wildly different proportions. The grabs either clip through or never even touch the opponent, which I can see all over the place in this video clip.
I think you might be right about a separate physics rig though....considering that the clothing appears to be doing what I would expect even while using these different anims.
I was always under the impression their armor was also hand/mocap animated.
Cool stuff, though. It's too bad development workflows aren't shared more often.

why would you even presume this if such characters Inferno & Edgemaster exist? They both have Imitative Power.
your lack of knowledge about this game would let me easily thrash you. no-one alive can beat me at this game. And I only play as edgemaster.
We're more into Tekken at work. Tekken 5 for the PSP totally rocks, by the way.

pfft, sc is a jammer's game. Real men take it out on sf2ce or vsav.
The great thing about SC is that a noob can buttom jam and still have fun. Buttom jamming in SF will get your ass handed to you quick.
SF2 is great fun, though. We actually have 2 arcade sticks for the PS2 to play on. Hahahah, it's all sorts of awesome.
How else would they have been able to pull off the 'create a character' in SC3 without it being a nightmare?

Hm. I guess you have to have a pretty robust physics rig/system to have it handle anything that isn't part of the human body.

Nothing special. All that stuff is probably simmed or influenced by helper nodes. It would be a pain in the ass to animate all that and have it look good which cycling through loops.

maybe so, but the PSP buttons totally suck, don't they? i nearly smashed mine against the wall just yesterday. arrrrgh!
nothing beats a dc with sticks. ahem

**cough** anarcademachinedoes **cough**
but you're right when it comes to home consoles.
I noticed that my co-workers who bought the PSP when it first came out, have problems with the D-pad. But I bought mine just a month ago and they work fine.
Diagonals seem to be the biggest issue for them... but mine are trouble free.
