The fourth installment of the Soul series, Soulcalibur III is, to the release of Soulcalibur V, the installment with most content. It was unknown why the later series have less content, probably because Daishi is involved in the production.

Joker Commands

Joker commands allows you to activate/deactivate codes when a certain button or combination of buttons are pressed on the controller. A bulk of codes here uses joker commands to activate/deactivate, hence you should learn how to use them and how to set up your own joker commands.

Further on this guide, a <Joker Command> before a code indicates the line where you need to place a joker command.

On emulator, these codes are not necessary since you can activate buttons using customizable hotkeys that ArtMoney provided.

How to use Stage Modifier with Joker Command

To ensure this code works for all stages is to use it with a joker command.

• Setup a joker command with directional buttons. The directional button is a MUST. This setup allows you to have 4 stages that can be swapped at once (e.g. set L2 + R2 + left to 1D, or Field).
• For example, at the stage selection screen, hold L2 + R2. Now press the directional button according to the stage you assigned the button to. You will need to press the directional button so the preview displays the swapped stage (this may require several attempts to get right).
• Once the live stage preview displays the swapped stage, press X/Circle.
• The BGM will depend on where your cursor was during stage selection.

Stage Variant Modifier
004ED650 0000000?
Only works on certain stages that have variants like Egyptian Temple, Eurydice Shrine, Lakeside Coliseum, and Grand Labyrinth. At normal, the value is 0. Change it to 1 or 2 will enable the stage variations.

Weapon Parameter Codes

Figuring Out the Value Needed

Soulcalibur III uses a multiplication of the power of 2. High value (HiByte) of 3F (63) and value (LoByte) of 80 (128), indicates 100%. With the exception of Regen and Swing Damage, the formula is as follows, in decimal:

IF ( LoByte < 128 ) THEN
    VarA = (LoByte + 128) / 256
    ELSE
    VarA = (LoByte / 128)
END IF

Percentage =
2 ^ ( ( HiByte - 63 ) * 2 *  VarA )

For Regen, the formula is as follow, in decimal:

IF (HiByte>128) THEN
    VarA = -1
    ELSE
    VarA = 1
END IF

IF(HiByte>128) THEN
    VarB =128
    ELSE
    VarB = 0
END IF

IF ( LoByte < 128 ) THEN
    VarC = (Byte + 128) / 256
    ELSE
    VarC = (LoByte / 128)
END IF

Percentage = 100 * ROUNDUP( VarA * 2 ^ ( ( HiByte - 63 - VarB * 2 ) * VarC , 2 )

CaS Profile & Weapon Exhibition Guide

You can have your own CaS in Profile and Weapon Exhibition with a usage of several modification codes and some light tinkering. Shown below is Spica (Tamborine) Weapon Demonstration using Xianghua's moveset.

First set up a Character Modifier along with a Joker Command. For digits you use 60 for Memory Card 1 slot 1, or 61 for Memory Card 1 Slot 2.

Example
Press select + R2 + L2 to select Memory Card 1 Slot 1
D046DBA2 0000FCFE ~> This is the joker command
004B4860 00000060 ~> This is the character modifier code

Once you done with these set-ups, activate the code with the joker command on character selection screen on Character Profile or Weapon Exhibition. Your character should now be displayed instead of the standard character in both modes, simply select him/her to view the CaS Profile or Weapon Exhibition.

Stage Selection
You can additionally select the target stage you want your character to appear in in Profile and Weapon Exhibition. First select any standard character whose arena is the one you want (e.g. select Nightmare will get Forsaken Sanctuary) and then activate the code (joker command) after the character finished saying their opening speech line.

Weapon Selection
Specific weapon selection is also possible. To do this, choose a corresponding weapon slot at the standard character prior to activating the code (joker command). For instance, to have a Soul of Raphael CaS wielding Queen's Guard at Forsaken Sanctuary: select Nightmare and select Soul Edge (Soul Edge is in the same slot as Queen's Guard for Soul of Raphael and Nightmare's stage is Forsaken Sanctuary), then activate the code (joker command).

Pose Selection
CaS pose is determined by their movesets. If you add extra joker command codes of Abyss and Night Terror, you can make Soul of Zasalamel and Soul of Nightmare to use Abyss and Nigt Terror's pose, respectively. Just press the button combination of Abyss/Night Terror once you are on the CaS's profile screen.
Several non-souls discipline has poses. Most of them are victory pose. Discipline with poses includes: Chinese Sword, Grieve Edge, Kunai, Lance, Nunchaku, Rapier, Staff and Tambourines. If you want the character to use different pose, you must activate the Moveset Modifier code while on loading screen (approximately on second flash of "NOW LOADING" letters).

CaS Ending Guide

Swapping out standard characters in endings and swapping them with CaS is possible, this is also true with standard character events. However, it is very difficult to execute with joker commands. In this guide I will be focusing on how to place up to 4 CaS in standard character's endings. Shown below is the "Memory of Spica".

Before you start attempting

• Use only the Character Modifier (Play As) codes. Using other modifiers such as moveset and/or weapon will guarantee to mess up the ending sequence.
• All CaS in the ending sequence only speak nonsensical one liners like a broken record, so you may want to turn voice off and disable subtitles in options.
• Since this is excruciatingly difficult to pull off, you might wish to prepare some aspirin and an extra controller.

First, you will need to understand the basic mechanism of how Soul Calibur III assigns characters in the event viewer. The system assigns immediate appearing character when the black wipe starts to disappear. Some late appearing characters can be assigned after the ending sequence has started.

Second, you must be familiar with the swap technique in CaS Profile and Weapon Exhibition Guide. You must activate the joker code as the black wipe starts to leave the left part of the screen. This needs to be a very precise timing; as if you're too early, the character won't swap and if you're too late, the game freezes, or your character is lying down somewhere.

Third, you must use 2P character modifier to make appearance for another character. In addition, there are also 3P and 4P character modifiers:

3P Character Modifier
00DC1120 00??

4P Character Modifier
00DDE8A0 00??

Example 1, Mitsurugi's ending setup
1P: Mitsurugi
2P: Mook #2
3P (immediate): Mook #1 (that first mook you see flying)
3P (after input): Taki
So in order to swap Taki's appearance, you must activate the joker command just after the B ending input disappears.

Example 2, Kilik's ending setup, all immediate
1P: Kilik
2P: Xianghua
3P: Maxi

From all endings that have been tested, 4P is only used for Siegfried's ending (there are three Nightmares there), unless you want to change the mooks.

Fourth, you can only swap CaS in digit 60 and 61 into the endings. Swapping in CotS characters have been tried but it does not appear to be working. Also, all non-ending sequence 2P are not swappable. Example: if you try to swap the Tira who jump to your raft, the game will crash.

Fifth, the memory limit for CaS in Soul Calibur III is only 2, and there is no way to increase it, as it's just how the game works. This makes the Kilik ending require post video editing if you want to make a 3rd CaS appearance there. In the example posted, there were 2 videos: one with Sauron and Spica, the other one with Spica and Perseonn. How will you splice the video depends your skill.
